And that's where simple ends.

Is there a video that explains in simple terms how to instruct machines over a network to manufacture specific items?

Is there a idea for a Ideal starting map for a fresh start for SpaceAge?

Internally, we are currently discussing when we can drop compatibility with MacOS X 10.10, so that we can update C++ compiler, so that we can use some C++ 20 standard library classes and functions.

Please do so and drop MacOS X 10.10 today - not tomorrow !

2.0.21 has had a massive performance improvement on the Mac if I turn "render in native resolution" back on.
I don't know what you've done but the result on a MacBook Air M2 is stunning indeed.

Same for me -

Hmm, I see, interesting. Thank you for the data.

Do you guys expericence any negative effects when Vsync is off - specifically, do you see screen tearing?

@hgschmie: what macOS version do you have?


Running with Vsync off let Factorio run smoother indeed on a MacBook Air M2 as well as on my ...

I mean it's obvious from your answer that it worked for build & reach distance, but not resource-reach and item-drop, and this is miscommunication. I will add the 2 new ones to the Wiki.


Hi morsk

Could you help me with another one:

Thanks for your swift reaction - Chapeau!

These commands still work for long reach. You can see the difference if you zoom out, and try to delete an item at a far corner of the screen. It works.

The change is they don't work in Remote View, because it only does bot requests, not real "reach". I don't know if there's any way to get the ...

Im 76 years and follow Factorio since 2016.
anyone beat me?

After cleaning those fans and air vents my notebook does not overheat anymore (resulting in thermal throttling) and the framerate stays constant.


Occam’s razor in full swing :-)
Factorio folks should indeed ask the user first to try to solve the stuttering with a "blow job" :D
Luckily the ...

The game slows down significantly after about fifteen minutes, even on up-to-date machines running the latest software.

That's what you experience? Up until now I was under the impression 2.0 runs fine for you on both your 2016 MacBook Pro and MacBook Pro M2.




Sorry for being unclear dear ...

/c local reach = 10000
game.player.force.character_build_distance_bonus = reach
game.player.force.character_reach_distance_bonus = reach

This command (as listed on the console Lua site) wont work - can anyone give me a helping hand?

Thank you for the support. Yes, my perception of things is definitelly clouded, that's without question. So I am sorry for overreacting to things.



Thank you for your helpful post.

Please remember to never take criticism (even if it is strongly worded) personally.
Rest assured that all ...

Your emotional experience is valid and important...
Thank you, it means a lot to me.

To clarify, I am not the Mac guy ... I am OpenGL/DirectX/graphics subsystem guy ... and so far this seems to "fall into my department"

I think you might be confusing GoG and Humble Bundle's applet here... (also, not to be confused with Humble Bundle as a Steam keys reseller itself.)

Factorio has DRM for :
- The stores : Wube's through the Humble Bundle applet, GoG's, Steam's
- In-game updates (much smaller downloads usually ...

… I saw a notice somewhere that Space Age has different game play than the base game in the early stages of the game, so they recommended that new players start by buying the Space Age key as well.
