Re: Shout command doesn't work via RCON

That does work, yeah. Instead of using shout, I simply state the message and it broadcasts it out as I was hoping for. Thanks for your help with it.

Shout command doesn't work via RCON

I'm running a headless server and I'd like to use RCON to send an announcement when the server is going down for updates. I've done this in other games, such as minecraft, and it's a huge help to our players to know when the dedicated game server is going down for maintenance. The RCON connection ...

v1.1.80 and v1.1.85 Level 2/3 Modules Don't Appear in Research

The Level 2 and 3 Modules don't appear inside the 'List of Research' when opening up the Research tab and must be 'walked through' the right side to research. This is repeatable with the Steam version of v1.1.80 and v1.1.85 and is done without any mods or changes to settings (a purely vanilla ...

Update:
I was able to replicate this error in x.17.71 and x.17.72.
Same repeatable steps and error.
Let me know if I can provide any more information that you need.

Re: Game Crash in Scenario Editor

Furthermore, if you leave the machines in this 'broken' state, it treats the liquid requirements of the recipe as 'satisfied'. I have the same Chemical Plant, set to Plastic and in this state, it doesn't ask for the liquid input, just the coal. So something is being busted somewhere and it's ...

Re: Game Crash in Scenario Editor

It seems like, in between saves, recipes aren't saved for producers that have liquid ports.
Meaning I
- Placed a chemical plant
- Set its recipe
- Set recipe to be 'locked'
- Save Scenario
- Quit
- Load Scenario
- Click on the chemical plant
- Game crashed

[Rseding91] Game Crash in Scenario Editor

Good Day,
I was working in the scenario editor (0.17.69 Stable) and it crashes when I click on any production structure (oil refinery, assembler).
Attached are my logs.

Re: [0.16.36] Crash: "FlyingRobot::useEnergyPerTick"

Sounds like RAM is the issue for sure (See Attached).
Thanks for your help, all. Feel free to chalk this one up as 'User, not game, issue'.
Have a great rest of your week.

Re: [0.16.36] Crash: "FlyingRobot::useEnergyPerTick"

Ah, okay sorry. 'Dump file' is what I thought I was brought to, since it can be understood as 'taking a memory dump'.
I didn't know you were looking for a specific file that was literally called dump. ^_^

[0.16.36] Crash: "FlyingRobot::useEnergyPerTick"

Good day,
This is my factorio-current.log that pops up, crashing my game. I don't take any specific action and the save has a few hundred hours into it, so I'm unsure what causes the crash. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
I forgot to mention, that this is vanilla.

Re: Displaying Text and Giving Items - Single Player Scenario

I'm hoping the research is correct, but is there a list of what the lua equivalents are for research names to ensure I'm granting the right ones?
Also, would you happen to know where I can find the code to give the player items?

Re: Displaying Text and Giving Items - Single Player Scenario

pointto = {type = "entity", entity = game.player.character}
It's point_to , see here: http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaGameScript.html#LuaGameScript.show_message_dialog

Displaying Text and Giving Items - Single Player Scenario

I have a few scenarios that I had working nicely on 12.x and after updating to 14.x none of the commands that I had in control.lua work, understandably so. I've exhausted the search here and on google, but I can't find an entry level description on how to get some text to display when a player loads ...

You guys have been amazing and that looks like that was it.
My bat file needed some small tweaking, but the straight zip and not the installer was my issue.

Re: Windows Headless 14.20 Doesn't Respect Mods

Right, sorry, I replied a bit hastily. With the zip version, two different folders, two different everything. I'm on the same page. How do you specify port that is being listened to? Also, I'm assuming if I connect via (server ip) without the port as in (server ip:port) then the default port is used ...

Re: Windows Headless 14.20 Doesn't Respect Mods

Thank you both very much for your time. I'll be able to test this out later tonight. Also, by using the zipped version and not the installer, I should be able to host two Headless servers at the same time on the same machine. I'll just have to specify different ports. Am I on the right path? ^_^
