Game crashes on start. I reinstalled it through Steam. Game still crashes on start. Error messages alternate between the one that asks you to post a log file and "Failed to create a texture". Crashes at about 40%. I don't recall if I have any mods installed, but it's not giving me the opti...

Whenever I go to multiplayer>browse public games, there is nothing on the list. Refreshing does nothing. I can play multiplayer games via steam direct invite, and I have not attempted to play directly by IP, but the factorio server list is always empty. I have no idea when this started, but I didn't...

https://imgur.com/gallery/boP5Ruc Posted this on reddit a bit ago, remembered there is a forum for this type of thing. I've also had a chance to stability test it since then, and it has been sitting at 65.9 average for the past 10 hours I played on this map. There's a lot of description in the imgur...

I really hope the "3 inserters" comment refers to a future FFF of the upcoming version, not just a dead thought that won't be seen for a long time.. (cross-post from reddit because I don't know how the devs do except that they mention forums on FFFs) On first thought I agree On second tho...

Yes, like I said it's small gain for small cost. I certainly have no consistency when it comes to mining. Some mines have prod modules, some don't and it's not really for any rational reason. 800% is a fun one since that is when you need exactly 1 miner per furnace if you are using full prod module...

Crafting Speed divided by the crafting time of the recipe is items per second per assembler. That's your basic, F=ma level, Factorio equation. Productivity bonuses multiply results by the bonus. Power follows real life physics, so J=W*s. Note the 50% efficiency rating of boilers. From that, you can ...

Biter pathing sort of gives up for extremely long or awkward paths. This isn't so much a bug as it is a fact of life for pathing engines. Biter pathing is very expensive on the CPU and difficult to optimize. The pathing failure is likely a performance cutoff to make sure it doesn't cripple the game...

Currently working on a few simultaneous goals: 1) Complete Seablock. This is when I want my brain to hurt while routinely AFKing for long periods of time. 2) Expand my vanilla/RSO base...no particular goal here, just feeding the beast. Good for casual, mindless play. Majority of my base does not hav...

I started off with spaghetti. Then I did even more spaghetti. Then I tried a main bus. Not enough resources. Then I tried a main bus with 4 belts of every resource. Too many belts, too lazy to run across them. Then I tried trains. This was fun. Then, I abandoned buses completely, and tried Train-ghe...

This reminds me of an old building platforms mod playthrough, where I let my (significantly less addicted) friends build their little production areas on the building platforms, and then challenged myself to fit high end production in the gaps using their overflow resources. I remember weaving a rob...

I get the point of the rotational symmetry, but I can't shake the feeling I'm looking at a swastika...Sorry.

Each reactor has two dedicated pipes running the length to feed 8 heat exchangers a piece. According to the table here: https://wiki.factorio.com/Fluid_system That gives me at least 209 tiles to play with. As far as I understand, underground pipes count as 2 pipes for their entire length, and they r...

And here it is! Expandable Reactor Map.jpg Water comes in by train, not a single bot in sight, which makes construction somewhat annoying, and it comes with a nuclear fuel refinery that inputs iron and U238, reprocesses spent fuel, and also has a backup reactor that is hooked up near the fuel input ...

Personally, I switch to laser turrets by the time I have the production capacity to automate reloading of gun turrets. Even on a deathworld, I usually end up hand cranking 10-15 gun turrets at strategic chokepoints, and refill them by hand, as my laser walls start getting built. Anyone here ever pla...

I exclusively use artillery trains...Reloading is much easier when you have three trains with 2-4 artillery wagons each that automatically go back and reload at a central point in your base when you're done. Plus, my rail system usually covers most of the outskirts of my base, and I usually expand b...

He's right OP, you need to shoot more shells faster and fill in the gaps!

Feels more like the radius of artillery gets doubled by the use of the device rather than it being halved when the device is not used. I mean it's pretty huge even without. I'd have preferred for the combat to actually be made interesting instead of just brushing it under the carpet but hey. The wa...

Hey, sorry about the double post, I didn't realize it was the same thing as this until after I posted. Thank you to Nephtysis for pointing it out.

Maximized window.

Sounds like the same thing, is there a way to combine the threads?
