Yes, I was aware of that, building over just to remove them can just be a hassle for some players, but the reasoning to leave them in as a reminder makes perfect sense. Thanks for the response!

Sorry to bother, but is there a reason building remnants are set to never expire? I feel that would be a visual issue for players who don't want them there anymore. I was just wondering what the logic was for keeping them.

What did you do?

I made a mod with the following line of code in data.lua with no code other than the info.json:

data.raw["gui-style"].default.default_tileset = ""

What happened?

I received a startup error reporting no mods to be disabled.

The default value listed in the prototype docs here for the collision_mask property of DecorativePrototype is incorrect here: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/prototypes/DecorativePrototype.html#collision_mask

It lists "doodad-layer", which is a string, but CollisionMask is a type which should ...

In the docs for PollutionSettings, there is a property named "ageing"

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/types/PollutionSettings.html#ageing

It is written that it is also referred to as dissipation modifier, but I think that's been outdated since 0.16. Through process of elimination and testing ...

Probably not important yeah. But do I get to at least say I found a bug?

This is such a small thing but I thought I'd report it anyways. I shot a wooden chest (exactly 100 health) with a pistol shooting firearm magazines (exactly 5 damage). It took 21 shots to destroy. Setting the chest to 10 health in editor mode takes 3 shots to destroy, but setting it to 5 health ...

I'm not able to reproduce the problem. Maybe it has to do with how many favorites you have? Or maybe it's OS specific? For me it fails (game won't start) around the 2043 mods in the mods folder. But below that it all works fine.


It's probably OS specific. I was having this problem before ...

After installing enough mods to have 1738 items in my mod folder (this is the number of files, including separate versions of mods; the exact number of mods is much smaller), I can no longer connect to the Wube servers. No mods are active. After some time loading the multiplayer screen, I am met ...

+1 this. Seems perfectly reasonable and seems like logic that should already be in the game.

The issue occurred as I was downloading new mods into my mod folder with >1700 items in it already. Is there a hard limit on the number of mods you can have then?

Here's the factorio-previous.log from when I was having the issue. It'd be nice to keep my mods installed if this could still get fixed.

I fixed it by deleting all my mods. Apparently there's a maximum number of mods the game likes you to have installed?

I'm having the same issue, did you solve this?

Whenever I try to connect to the factorio servers in game, either by joining a public game or downloading a new mod, it hangs and finally presents me with the following error code:

Download failed (status code 520): failed to parse JSON response: Unexpected character (C) at ?:1

In the documentation for the prototype Projectile ( https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Projectile ), it states that the member "action" is of type Trigger. In the documentation for the type Trigger (https://wiki.factorio.com/Types/Trigger), it states that this type is an array of tables of type ...
