Last I read on Splitters from FFF #225 is that they will be coming with the next version of 16.x. It's been more than a week now since a minor version release, I would have thought they are a big enough item to warrant a fairly quick release. Is the new Splitter delayed now? There will be no splitt...

This isn't a bug. A roboport only has 4 charge ports, so all those robots are waiting in line to charge. Place more roboports to let them charge faster.

To anyone else who runs into this problem, I had to both change the config.ini file to use absolute paths, and use the -c command line option for factorio to tell it where the config file was.

Ah, that makes sense, although why it worked fine in 0.16.15 is now a mystery. I'll change the config to use absolute paths. Thanks.

I just created a symlink /usr/share/factorio -> ~/games/factorio/data, which allowed the game to boot up, but it failed to find the mods I had installed, my login for updates or modes, or my saved games, since by default the read and write directories are different. As a work around, it would be oka...

No, my entire home directory is all on the same file system and ~/games/factorio is simply the location where I unzipped the downloaded tar, no symlinks involved. I am running factorio through a script that contains the commands from https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=54654 because...

I auto-updated to 0.16.16, and factorio has failed to start since then. I also tried a fresh tar download. Whenever I try to run factorio I get the error: 0.000 Error Util.cpp:49: There is no package core in /usr/share/factorio ------------- Error ------------- There is no package core in /usr/share...

I will add another reponse here and say that millisa's process for a side-by-side install of v2.18 works. THere are a couple changes I would recommend. First, configure with ../configure --prefix='/opt/glibc-2.18' so that the library is contained in its own subdirectory. I think this is just a typo,...

Yes, it is caused by factorio requiring a newer library, not a bug, but glibc 2.17 is the version supported by RHEL 7.4 (released in august) and all the related distros. If the upgrade was necessary because of bugs or features in the library that is one thing, but it does kill off the ease of runnin...

Did you forget about /c game.speed=X where X is the speed multiplier I sure didn't. ... And assuming that you did make a steady 175 BILLION Copper Cables per minute, I made a list of times that would show the time it would take for each game running at a certain speed multiplier. You are assuming t...

While I see your point, there is a good reason for this to not be the case. Specifically sometimes you research a technologies not for the recipes that it unlocks, but for other technologies it is prereq of. For example Imagine there are three recipes and three technologies: Tech1 unlocks Rec1, Tech...

I think this is caused by the item from the inserter being out of phase with the compressed items. Note that in the example below, I'm not sure the exact numbers are right, but the concepts should be. Imagine a lane of a belt has 9 positions that an item can be at, and each item is 4 spaces wide. So...

So, a new release has been created on the github https://github.com/judos/hardCrafting/t ... er/release that has a number of small improvements to it, but it hasn't been uploaded to the mod portal yet. Just so people can update if they want to.

I just updated to the new settings system and found that the resource region number had a maximum set to 30. I had originally configured my game with angel's infinite ores with a distance of 64 so that I had slowly growing but permanent throughput of resources. Is there any way the maximum could be...

In the "Dangerous" map generator preset, the description says "biters are more dangerous and evolve faster". What is meant by "more dangerous"? Do they hit more or multiply faster etc, or is the description simply referring to the higher rate of time/pollution-related ...

Most people use more than one line to solve the problem you are talking about. I have watched many of Zisteau's series, and interpreting the way he does things as normal or efficient is the wrong approach. Launching a rocket on 1 yellow belt of iron is (or was in 0.14) very possible. There is a guid...

Yes, I believe if you pull from only one slot of a wagon, the last "unit" of fluid won't move to the segment with a pump because of how fluids are handled.

I'm not at a computer with factorio but it would be worth checking the pack type requirements for the recipes. Perhaps the technology modifier does things such as add a green science requirement to a technology that was only red before.

Note that I reported a bug last night that appears in the same method, albeit 15 lines earlier. Not sure if they are related or not: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=44707
