Thank you, it does make a big difference in my mod. I implement fog of war and restrict the players movements into the fog. If they are in map view - they can go outside of the fog, but not clear any of the fog. Since I can't tell if they are zoomed in, when they move outside the fog in map view ...

Go into map view, render_mode shows (2) render_mode.chart.
Zoom in - render_mode shows (1) render_mode.game - it should show (3) render_mode.chart_zoomed_in

First my apologies - I needed to dig into the code a bit and run some tests to verify what I should have said. What you say is perfectly true. share_chart only works in 1.1 when you are friends. But there is a pretty major change that impacts how our mod plays. In 1.1 - with set_friend to true, and ...

Is there a way of disallowing players from changing your base items, but allowing them to view your base?
This has definately different from 1.1 -> 2.0. We used to :
force.set_friend(false)
force.share_chart=true

Now - we loop through each force and set who we're friendly with - a definite ...

In Oarc and Brave New Oarc mod - we play multiplayer (multiple forces) in different spawns. We do not want other forces to change our teams assembler, belt, inserter settings, but we do want to optionally enable vision of our bases to other teams. We used to set_friend(false), but now set_friend for ...

Undocumented features - not good.

I don't suspect either a modding api nor need help debugging a mod. But then if I knew what is causing this odd behavior I wouldn't have posted this bug report.

The mod works fine, with no errors, just missing items that should be available based upon the above crafting_categories. Does it require ...

Testing with v: 2.0.13 of Factorio
What did you do? Updated Brave New Assembling Machines from 1.1 to 2.0
What happened? Some of the items that I can make in 1.1 are missing in 2.0
What did you expect to happen instead? The crafting_categories = {"basic-crafting", "crafting", "advanced-crafting ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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