Fixed that the Linux binaries would crash after handcrafting finishes. (https://forums.factorio.com/29614) Yay, no more involuntary no-crafting challenge. Ironically I was actually going to attempt the Lazy Bastard achievement when I encountered this bug. Unfortunately you need to craft 100 items b...

Sweet! This was pretty game breaking ;p

so the big bases are incredibly tedious to deal with. Which may be a reason why players try to automate conquest through turret creep. I know i wouldn't feel bad about losing the ability to build near biter nests if I had some decent weapons to wipe them out with. I agree completely. The slow advan...

I definitely feel like the rocket launcher needs a big buff. It's pathetically weak, even fully researched and loaded with explosive rockets. The combat shotgun beats it in any situation. All weapons feel too weak against big biters. The only thing that works really well against them seems to be des...

I had the same/similar problem when i updated the game from 0.10.1 to 0.10.2. Stuff that was damaged in 0.10.1 and not repaired before i updated wasnt auto-repaired by the drones, they just ignored it. Deconstructing and replacing had no effect. But after manually repairing everything to to full ma...

Do you even need to use the shotgun with that strategy? Also, where are all the worms? I only saw one settlement where they were present. I would think that they would cost a few more destroyers when you attacked a settlement. Thanks for the video! Nah, I don't really have to use the shotgun, but i...

I think they're not hard but tedious. Nothing seems particularly effective against big biters, everything takes forever to grind them down. They're easy to keep at bay with some slow capsules or just enough exos in your suit. Doing shotgun run-bys with a huge swarm chasing you is fun but after you'...

If you set the filter on a Requester Chest to more than it can store (ask for 4k ore, where it can only store 2.4k) and as it reaches max capacity, all available bots will try to put more in, fail, and put everything they carry in a Storage Chest. Then for a while nothing happens, until one stack o...

I've noticed a few times that construction robots will sometimes not repair items even though there's plenty of repair packs available both in the network and in roboports, and the damaged items are well within construction range. I don't know what the cause is. Sometimes they'll repair stuff, and o...

This is the best imo. You have enough speed to kite biters indefinitely while shooting them, enough power to keep it all running, and enough shields to protect you if you screw up the kiting.

To summarize the solution, posted by Nemoder and Dedas: 1. Create or edit /etc/allegro5rc, and set to: [graphics] driver=default [audio] driver=oss 2. Start the game with "padsp ./factorio" (padsp is included in the pulsaudio-utils package) (there should be no need to restart pulseaudio)....

In my experience you need a lot more iron than any of the other resources early on. I place a burner drill on iron first, then coal, stone and copper, before adding a few extra ones to iron.

I'm picturing something like a Neural Interface tech, enabling a building that you can enter in the same way that you would enter the car or the train, which gives you more direct control over your logistics robots, allowing you to play more like an RTS. It could be completely optional, and have pro...

I've also had this issue on every version I've tried thus far. (between 0.9.8 and 0.10.1)
I am running Debian Unstable/Sid and the 64bit version of the game.
