If you download Space Age from the Factorio website, it includes the whole game. It's not just the extension, it's the full game, so you don't need to first update the base game.


So it does, how convenient! I thought Space Age only included the expansion content, and I'd have to update Factorio ...

Okay, it looks like I'll have to keep trying and hope my internet doesn't fail.

Unfortunately, I need to avoid using Steam. My computer has limited resources and having Steam running can cut my in-game FPS by 10 or 20. Its way of handling downloads is great, though, and if I could download Factorio ...

I haven't played Factorio in years. I'm still on 1.1. My internet is very slow because of where I live.

I managed to download the Space Age installer in about 3hr30min. However, updating Factorio itself isn't going so well. My internet has failed on me twice now, after I waited hours for it to get ...

Squeak Through (and probably several similar mods) decrease the hitbox of entities so the player can walk between two entities that are visually touching.

I'm wondering if there's a mod that does the opposite of this: Increase the hitbox of vanilla entities so the player cannot walk between them ...

My initial thought is I should change the controls to be closer to those in Minecraft. I keep mistakenly right-clicking to access the machine interfaces.


In contradiction to Stringweasel, I don't think there's any harm in doing this. I did the same thing when I first got factorio, and in fact ...

In most games, kick-starting coal liquefaction is the only thing I use barrels for.

However, I'm playing through a mod ( Lunar Landings ) in which:

Rockets are reached at blue science
Rocket fuel is a liquid, not an item

I didn't want to deal with long pipes, and wasn't ready to set up trains yet ...

There was a comma missing at the end of the first "icon = sprite '3in1-item.png', icon_size = 64" line. And another one at the end of the "{'roboport', 1}" line.



Thank you! I knew I was just missing it. Why is this the hardest part of debugging.

As expected, it throws other errors but I can ...

I'm on my phone... not gonna count it, sorry. :) But if you use something that does syntax highlighting, like Notepad++, that can help you out. ;)


Unfortunately, Notepad++ is what I'm using, that's what I meant by having an IDE that highlights opening/closing brackets. If I click on a bracket ...

Made a basic mod as a hasty test. In practical terms all it should do is add a new, more expensive-to-craft accumulator with a different sprite. I was expecting to test it in this current stage, and then have to ask for help with the part where I make it work as all three of its constituent parts ...

When you grab the file from Github, you should take the version that matches your currently installed version of factorio, not the newest one. This change from 3 weeks ago is likely giving you trouble.

If everything else fails, you can always head to the factorio website and download the whole ...

I'm having the same problem.

I copied the raw contents of the version from github here , and completely replaced the contents of my backers.json. Still the same error.

So I deleted my backers.json, downloaded the github file, and tried to update again. Still the same error.

If I just delte ...

TL;DR:
placed, unconstructable ghosts can be read to the logistic network through roboports in range of that ghost

What?
I propose a new "ghost-[entity-name]" signal class for the circuit network. This signal class would be used by roboports to automatically report all ghosts within their range ...

Well this complicates matters.

I'd read that an absent signal is read as 0, so I thought that meant that combinator C would getting one signal at 1, and one signal at 0.

Does this mean signals are added together? Two signals at 1 will be read as one signal at 2?

Edit: Remembered sandbox exists ...

Or, Yet another combinator noob thread .

I can't get a combinator to behave the way I want, and since it doesn't work the way I expect, I have no idea how to even attempt what I want it to do.

Combinator A sends a signal from a larger circuit. This works as intended. The signal is `L = 1 ...
