Hello, I am here to see if the time it takes from you exit the game to the time it takes to sync with the steam cloud could be optimized. On a regular day, when I hop on Factorio, I play around for maybe an hour, optimizing layouts, re-working assembly lines, ect. When I close the game, it is by far...

There is no longer any need for other energy options since we already have nuclear. It's just to good. Nuclear has it's advantages, but the problem with it is it will run out of fuel much faster than something like solar or steam, due to the small amount of uranium in the world. Crazy amounts of po...

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but I researched the speed module 2, and it required processing units. I did not research processing units , and I want to know if it should be a subcategory of that or not. Since the pictures are in .bmp, I coulden't put them here. Thanks!

Unfortunately it crashed in the engine's audio mixer and there's not much we can do. I investigated and there is nothing wrong that I can see. Did you do anything special with audio or soundcard driver? To fix it we would need a way to reproduce the issue. Try looking if it always crashes in the sa...

Hello, I know you are probably looking at the title thinking "He did this again?", but I promise this one is different. In the last thread, MSI Afterburner seemed to be the problem, but after I deleted it and uninstalled it a new problem arose. This time, all the game says it that it crash...

TL;DR I am proposing that, instead of flames dying out when they destroy pumpjacks, oil puddles, heavy oil, light oil, and petroleum tanks, they keep burning as if you lit them on fire, and possibly explode, depending on what you hit. What ? The idea that I am suggesting here is a way to add disast...

uranium is used in projectiles because it is 68.4% denser than lead. can we get back on topic now please? Yes. I am all for different types of energy, including geothermal as well as wind. Both of these are alternatives to the classic steam, reactor power, or solar. Geothermal could work for a set ...

Every time I open the game, it runs for ~ 5 minutes before it crashes and I have to restart. (I have had problems in the latest stable version too, it saying that MSI Afterburner was crashing the game. When I turned it off, it worked fine.) Apart from that, I will give you the specs of my system. [C...

"I have read that uranium is a poison. Does that mean that uranium bullets should deal poison damage to the biters?" Not really, since when you shoot a Uranium bullet, even enriched Uranium, it will not immediately poison them as you think it might. That takes time. Even an Elephant's Foot...

I did manage to get the steam key and port it to steam. It was buried in the FAQ section of the website, but after I found it it was a breeze.Thank you, I have to go play Factorio now.

Hello, I bought the game a while back, and found that the standalone version is great to take around on something like a USB, but is not good at all when it comes to downloading the game on to a computer. For this reason, along with the fact that it would be much easier to play off of Steam, compels...

The second command does not work. It gives me "Cannot execute command. Error:[string"game.forces.player.recipes["the recipe you ar..."]:1:attempt to index field 'the recipe you are missing' (a nil value)

Code: Select all

for your other issue.

Where do I put that line of code?

Hello, Opencircut74 here and I have noticed that I had multiple items that were unattainable in my game. The first one that I noticed was the ability to get sulfur. I downloaded a mod, and now I have sulfur deposits randomly around the world. The other item is the smart chest. I have researched quit...

You were right! Thank you, I guess this was not a bug.

Hello, Opencircut74 here and I recently put 14.22 onto a USB that I can play on different computers. While I was configuring a green science pack system, I noticed that my mining drills looked slow and laggy. I clicked on my power line, and only 4 of my steam engines showed up, giving me 1.6MW inste...

Hello, opencircut74 here and I want to show you one of my creations that will (hopefully) help you out in your Factorio world. This does cost quite a bit, but it puts out lots of Speed Module 3s. You do need to put alien artifacts in your logistic system as well as hooking it up to sulfuric acid for...

Thanks for the help with the rail signals. All took was to remove 2 unneeded rail signals and it was good to go.

It looks like the signals on the diagonal tracks in the loop do not line up correctly (first picture), effectively creating a 1 piece long one-way track. Also in the second picture the east-west track is useless, since the signals left and right of the crossing are on opposite sides, vesting a bloc...

It works now, I needed to place a train backwards on the opposite end.
