Hey, hopefully this is the right place for this but there seems to be a hidden unchangeable efficiency gain with fusion generators.

If you "charge" a liquid with a boiler and then "discharge" it with a fusion generator, then you'll end up with a net-gain in power from the fusion generator.

Would ...

I was working on a new mod idea and I ran into a limitation with the game.

A mining drill will only switch to fluid mode if it's over an ore patch that requires a fluid. There's workarounds such as changing the type to an assembler and just scripting the output but obviously that isn't ideal.

I ...

Hey guys, I have uploaded this to the new mod system and updated it. I take no credit for this, but the original mod creator is gone. If anyone else wants to take over the project feel free to PM me. Only uploades to help others use this very helpful mod. I may make small changes if requests happen ...

The map has been reset now.

Just a quick update to say the server is up on the latest stable version of Factorio and running smoothly! We changed a few config options to get rid of lag spikes.

Sorry, it is up again now I forgot to add it to startup when I restarted the box.

I restarted it and it appears to be working now, unsure if there is any options I can enable which would make it run better.

We have been looking forward to hosting a Factorio server for a long time and now we have the chance!

Fantastic! Cheers bud

Thanks for fixing it, I've updated the main thread now.

Oh really? I didn't see that. Derp.

Hello, I introduced a friend of mine to Factorio and we have been playing together on a map. (about 10 hours so far) He says it is one of the best games he's played in a long time.

I keep getting asked "is Factorio on Steam?" and I have to reply with "no, but you can get it on their website".

Why ...

I like the idea of p2p but what about the poor guy that is sitting on a 3G connection behind some crappy gateway which doesn't allow open ports? I'm assuming they would have negative effects on other parties playing the game. If a server could be setup on a box open to the internet with the same p2p ...

Isn't there some kind of "display sink" you can use? Having an extra lifeless player doesn't really matter, I reckon. He might be in the way though.

Build a wall around him, it'll be fine

But yeah, we need a dedicated server asap

I was just experimenting with factorio over a ssh tunnel (better than hamachi) and it actually works quite well. However I was wondering if anyone got factorio to work on a server without a graphics card or over vnc, all I get is a "failed to create display" error.

It's probably too soon for any ...

Was giving me error upon installing the mod, here is the fix i had to perform to get it to work:

1. in mods/alien-science 0.0.5/info.json manually change version from 0.0.4 to 0.0.5 (even though the version was 0.0.5 it seems you forgot to update the json)
2. manually rename the folder of mod from ...

Interesting mod, will try it in my next game! I do wonder about something though.
You say the recipe is:
6 x Science Pack 1
2 x Science Pack 2
1 x Science Pack 3
= 1 x Alien Science Pack (also: 1 x Alien Artifact for the other recipe)

So, wouldn't it be _strictly_ better to make Alien Artifacts ...

Hello, It's really cool to see multiplayer in action! Nice work :)

How lag tolerant will multiplayer be? I'm on a 3G connection (I can't get dsl or anything) and my average ping is about 120 - 300 depending on time of day etc. Sometimes I get a few packet drops and time outs too.

Will this mean I ...

Hi, I'm not sure I'll be able to help you, but try posting the timing debug info and log file here.

To show the debug info, start the game, load your problematic save, press F5, then wait 10 seconds (some of the values are updated only every 10 seconds) and make a screenshot.

I'm having the same ...

sorry to bring bad news

Ah okay, what about using 2 other liquids?

Okay, so I've been digging about and I found the code for the steam engine entity.

I now have a shell of a mod going but my oil generator is not showing up in-game plus I don't know how to change it so it accepts oil instead of water.
