Tested on Factorio 2.0.63, and confirmed that the prototype for cargo-bay specifically was declared.

Also tested the mod against an explicit build that does NOT allow space age features, and I can still load the cargo-bay mod.

(Most of this is just the cargo-bay and all related calls taken from ...

I checked the API docs on cargo-bay, and noticed that it is declared that space age is required to use this, but in attempting to figure out exactly what feature flag needs to be defined to make a standalone cargo-bay mod, I noticed that Factorio with no mods whatsoever enabled, just fired right up ...

That feels inconsistent with everything else that triggers you to disable the mods that cause errors, instead of outright closing the game and leaving you to figure out exactly what mod caused the error on your own, if for example, somebody were to publish something to the mod portal blindly, and ...

What did you do?
Create a mod to have to have the mech-suit without needing to have space_age required.
Mod has feature flag "space_travel_required": true defined in info.json as required in order to enable flying armor.
No "empty-space" tile was defined, as I was unaware that this was required for ...

While yes, he is very good, normal players would not have the speedrun restrictions, as in no blueprint import, random seed, single sitting etc.


pretty sure blue print importing IS allowed for 100% achievement speedruns. the blueprint imports is for most of the speedrun categories, not ALL of ...

100% community simply needs make a mod that allows achievements with the old settings. i can't believe it was ever intended you would be able to get achievements on a map with basically idle biters.


The mod approach is dead simple. The mod just has to remove the "allowed_without_fight = false ...

What did you do?

I started a new game, where I set things that would disable all the allowed_without_fight = false achievements.

I checked the achievements and confirmed that all of the biter related achievements as well as the timed finishing the game achievements were disabled.

Using Editor ...

One thing that is notable is that 2.0.45 now disallows a number of easier than normal settings for the allowed_without_fight = false achievements. What would be helpful is if each settings tool tips were updated to indicate minimum/maximum value allowed to retain all achievements being possible ...

Probably not a bug, given that the only things excluded from the demo are the scenarios as well as the transport-belt-madness and tight-spot campaigns. Other than that, the base mod is 100% identical, so factoriopedia is going to be based off whats present in the base mod.

Quality modules is unfortunately an ALL or NOTHING deal. That is ALL of the outputs get upgraded to the next quality tier, or NONE of them do. There currently is not a recipe prototype to "ignored_by_quality" on some count of the output, like there is for "ignored_by_productivity"

This seems to have been broken as of version 2.0.15. In my modded troubleshooting, it seems that the cargo_pod entity that is carrying the fish for the purposes seems to no longer be attached to the rocket entity as of the on_rocket_launched() event being called. This is also the time when I think ...

Try hitting your keybind key for Pause, which in this case, should be the Pause/break key on the key board. I have confirmed that you can't bring up the menu while editing a blueprint while the game is paused, however, if you are allowed to pause/unpause the game, then hitting the pause keyboard key ...

Save game, and an unpublished mod I was using for testing something else unrelated to this game, since this game is using it attached.

Reproduction of crash steps. Go to the space platform clearing named "Doomed to Crash Factorio 2.0.12". Rotate the inserter so that it is grabbing from the Infinity ...

As seen from these screen shots, a big enough custom system cursor, can make it difficult to see the item in hand and its count. This can make the game more difficult to play correctly. I do not want to have to switch cursor profiles just to be in the game, if there can be some better way to ...

TL;DR
Custom furnace prototype "can't smelt" localized text


What ?
A way to specify custom localized "can't be smelted" text for a given furnace prototype, for example, a crusher could say "<item> can't be crushed", or for an incinerator, "<item> can't be incinerated.", or for an air filtering ...

Found a case where a mod is exactly the same, but because of how the core system evaluates mod mismatch of same version, it can be possible for a startup setting to cause a same version mod mismatch error.

The root cause is if a require is conditional on a startup setting, then the .lua file that ...

As someone that works on the Archipelago mod, this data dumping is very nice as it just obsoleted https://mods.factorio.com/mod/archipelago-extractor in its entirety.

I started playing around with stack size related stuff in the prototypes and have noted that the game is mostly consistent of not letting the mod run when stack sizes of things that should be 1 are not 1. The exception is the spidertron-remote prototype.

The game silently clamps the stack_size of ...

I was not expecting this achievement to trigger from a retaliation attack of the biters against artillery cannons. (Pollution dissipation was set to 0, so pollution stays in the chunk it was generated in.)
No idea if this is intentional or not.

1. Change a int setting that has a min value less than or equal to 0 to anything with a decimal point.

2. What I expected was for that value to go red since a decimal point input is not valid for int settings.
2. What I got, as shown in the image, is the red box only for int values that have a min ...
