I have 8K+ Hours in game, write mods, and love this game. I see all the smarts you continue to add to the game and controls to enable the game to be more fun. But after playing Desynced, and writing code to control their bots, but not loving the game play, I was wondering if Wube would ever consider...

Research is based on Force, but completion is sent to every player. In a team based mod where each team is researching independently - Factorio reports when any team completes research, it's very distracting and competes with players typing to each other but going ignored due to the continuous beepi...

I used this tool https://github.com/asheiduk/factorio-blueprint-decoder to extract from the dat file, then re-encode it into an importable string. All worked great. It would be awesome if when you rename the dat file you named it something like blueprint-storage-1.0.0.dat so we know which version it...

I updated factorio to 1.0.1 - the game updated my blueprints as expected. Then I went back to 1.0.0. It renamed the blueprints to blueprint-storage-backup.dat and made the blueprint-storage.dat file zero size. I attempted to go back to 1.0.1 and rename the backup dat file back, but nothing that I've...

Thank You Xorimuth - you are always a wealth of great info.
I do think I'd better upgrade to 4.2.1 soon though, I think the 00 is causing problems with people being able to join a multiplayer game.

I realized at 4.1.9 that I probably shouldn't go to 4.1.10, since in my mind 4.1.10 is equal to 4.1.1. SO I went to 4.2.00, with plans to use 00-99, which now seems to be blocking players from joining and reports a version mismatch, even though the portal has 4.2.00, and the players have my 4.2.00 m...

Error: Failed to upload mod: Unknown error. (code: 500)
Same error - please advise:

Thanks, I turned this off (false setting), and the delays all disappeared. Previously changing maps took ten minutes, are now less than a second. Also this impacted playing Factorio, just putting down a steel box would cause a few second delay, and when research completed, causing a change to the Wa...

Did you enable "log-stack-trace-on-non-critical-exception" in the config file? Yes - it was on for the saved config. log-stack-trace-on-non-critical-exception=true so this is likely why it's so slow - it's saving a stack trace with every non critical exception - I'll disable and test more.

I'm playing Warptorio2, with some QOL mods, and end of level and loading the game are very slow. In the log file I see this many times: c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio\2017\buildtools\vc\tools\msvc\14.15.26726\include\thr\xthread (230): std::_LaunchPad<std::unique_ptr<std::tuple<void ...

I started a Wave Defense with 1.1.19 and continued playing through 1.1.20 passed day 180. This issue persists, but I notice changes to how it manifests itself. Previous version would group biters and the group would get huge. This version releases groups to form a column and attack main base at freq...

Great thanks for the replys. I've played for 1500 hours and have never noticed that button.

What ? When joining a multiplayer game, Factorio will restart and sync the mods of that game. But when I switch back to a single player or multiplayer game I previously played with mods, I'd like it to sync to that game. Why ? It takes a while of constantly restarting the game to get the right mods...

I have over a dozen mods loaded, all updated to the latest version. Running Factorio 1.X latest which shows installed content release date: Dec 14, 2020 at 2:59 pm. Game crashes about once an hour after having played this map for over 5 hours. Frequency is increasing and this latest crash crashed wi...
