Currently the game the popup about updating the game is shown after it has been completely loaded. Especially when a number of mods are enabled, starting the game one time can already be a bit of a wait... So often I find myself skipping the update, thinking I will go through this process when I ...

A quick search shows this for me: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34914473/how-do-i-enable-curl-ssl-on-mac-os-x

What I don't know is; do we not ship CURL statically linked in the mac build?


Without any adjustments, curl can access https pages from the terminal, with or without the --http2 ...

Same on OSX. It happens as well when using the shortcut (Command+B).

Importing a blueprint book from an import string works, so if you happen to have another blueprint. So for convenience, here's a string for an almost empty blueprint book:

This still persists (in 0.18.9). It also creates these black empty screens when restarting for an update from within Factorio (not Steam). It seems it's just an empty fullscreen desktop, left behind.

When you hover over the (black) desktops in misson control, you will see the exit full screen ...

as for the landfill graphic, it does indeed look better, it would be nice if some other suggestions were added as well,
- like the ability to dig it back up if we needed to, aka water fill


Removing land(fill) would create the possibility of having a moat and a "drawbridge" as a form of defense ...

Crash on load multiplayer when first player enters the game. The game was saved with the previous version of pY Coal Processing. Downgrading to version 1.2.3 is a workaround.

Error while running event pycoalprocessing::on_nth_tick(30)

Very tiny detail I stumbled upon by accident: The about version from the version menu (factorio>About Factorio) is stuck at 0.17.9. The version in the about, reached from the main menu show the correct version.

When watching the window with all the trains, or all the trains of a certain station, the schedule below each train is shown, but becomes empty when the train arrives at or leaves a station.

When performing a search, the whole window is updated again and the schedules are visible until it needs ...

When clicking the factorio sprocket in the browse games window, the server is not marked as a favourite (any more). The game stays unmarked.

When adding a train to a blueprint, it does not have wheels in the preview. Same goes for the wagons.

Ah. Yes. I realise now that the ghost station actually appears in the itinerary and I can change the condition on it. My bad.

When I use the ghost station way of traveling to some place (Ctrl+Click on station/rails) and my train is in manual mode, the train continues to the next station in the itinerary, a couple of seconds after arriving at the ghost station.

This behaviour would be expected for a hijacked train that is ...

The standard control for enter/leave vehicle (RETURN) doesn't work any more when using the KEYPAD ENTER key. To fix this, I set up this key as the 2nd control setting. After restarting factorio, that 2nd control setting has changed to RETURN as well. Also when making the first key KEYPAD ENTER and ...

In my latest playthrough with a friend of mine we use the NPUtils mod. Both of us didn't see some graphics from this mod. After reporting this in the mod's forum thread with a screenshot of the entities from his mod, the creator replied with a screenshot of his own, showing all items.

After doing ...

Happened to me after a direct upgrade from 0.15.40 to 0.16.4.

The first time the progress bar went up to 60%. Now it keeps going to just 42% (coincidence? ). It finishes "cropping bitmaps" and crashes during "loading sprites". I attached the log file, just in case.

When playing multiplayer on my own server, sometimes the message "Server (<server>) is saving the game" appears. Is the <server> tag configurable? I don't see anything along those lines in the template configuration file.

Can we "buffer" those flying robots, too? (I mean balancing and distributing of idle robots.)

Sometimes all robots fly off to one end of the map for construction or item movement. This is ok. But after they are finished they sit at the other end of the map and don't come back before needed. Not ...

As cool as the buffer chest sounds, I've always felt that what the game needs is a passive requester chest.

To keep the place tidy and the storage chests empty, I like to recycle as much as possible. Deconstructing a full belt will just fill up the storage chests (with coal, for example). I always ...

In my current marathon game, I currently have robots and robo-ports, but not yet a personal roboport.

By accident I ran into the following case: One of my stations had the wrong wiring for balanced unloading. The chests and inserters were already in place. I updated the wires (and condition) for ...

Technically I guess using valve symbols should be the way to go for liquids.

But I guess it's not very intuitive. The chain symbol doesn't make a lot of sense, but the expressed state is very clear.
