I'm playing a multiplayer game with a friend. I'm hosting the game on my PC each time we wanna play then save when we're done for the day.

Last time I've saved the game everything seemed to be working perfectly, as usual, but I am now unable to load the game, would it be in SP or MP.

The save ...

It certainly could be the answer to my problem. However I do not use bobores so, except with Angel's refining itself adds more ores, I only have the basic ones : coal, iron, copper, stone, uranium.
" With bobmods and angelsinfiniteores you have to refine all the base and bobores from 6 raw ores ...

Hi, in need of some help over here.

I've played with a huge bunch of mods (angel's infinite ores amoung other things) until today when i decided to give a go and try some of other angel's additions.

Problem is, when I load my current save, the iron,stone and copper infinite ore patches are being ...

I've just solved my problem.

Don't even ask me why, but I had a 'require("control")' in my data.lua. I didn't realized it was a mistake some times ago when I wrote it, and all went well because I only had basic stuff written in control.lua

if foo then
data.raw["item"][itemName].subgroup ...

Hi, I'm currently working on a mod where I need to call a function once right after the creation of a world. I tried to use script.on_init to do that but i always get the same error
attempt to index global 'script' (a nil value)

While i've often be able to solve problems like that alone I'm ...

I know that digging out this post is more or less doing archaeology but i'm interested by Kovarex answer :

Furnace uses 1 ingredient recipes now, but it would be pretty easy to remove this restriction.

I've always loved the mechanics of the furnace : the fact that the recipe is autmatically ...

Works like a charm, thanks a lot to both of you !

thanks for these answers

you must initialize the table before set properties.
modify = function(dataType, name, subgroup, order)
if data.raw[dataType] == nil then data.raw[dataType] = {} end
if data.raw[dataType][name] == nil then data.raw[dataType][name] = {} end
data.raw[dataType][name ...

I'm currently trying to create a function to easily modify the subgroup and order of a very large part of the game's objects (items/guns/ammos/etc...)

Writting :

data.raw["foo"]["bar"].subgroup = "baz"
data.raw["foo"]["bar"].subgroup = "qux"

1 time for each object worked just fine, but i'd like ...

first version will have (already has, in fact) the same recipes. Second version will include the "advanced crafting" mechanic you're talking about, but I'm worried about the balance as it may simplify the automation too much.
Maybe i could try to balance that by raising the cost of the specialized ...

of course, I've already thought of that. I may even start in the future a mod to bring a bit more realism on these aspects but I'll have to find a way to do it without shattering Factorio playability (and fun).
At the moment, I'm focusing on the crafting aspect because, well, it's my first mod and I ...

Already done that. However, some AM will be bigger than vanilla ones (locomotive AM, for example, will be at least 4*4).
Also, one of the main goal of this mod is precisely to improve the visual aspect of one's factory.

So, i'll need new icons/sprites, sooner or later...

worked a bit on the mod today :

I got 14 assembling machines ready (details below)
I'm currently working on the customization aspect (allowing the player to choose wether the vanilla AM or the player should be able to craft the concerned items or not, etc)
fr/eng localization on its way


Next ...

Well, the main goal isn't really to bring more difficulty to the game, even if I guess that's a way to see it

The main objective is more to bring some 'diversity' in the factory.

But I plan to add some compatibility with other mods, yeah

I've been playing Factorio for the past 2 weeks and already tested a fair amount of mods. Recently I've felt the urge to contribute to this awesome community.

I've always been excessively organized in video games, would it be in minecraft/skyrim/whatever I've always used hundreds of chests to ...
