So go play Techtonica instead of spreading your misery and griping here?

Re: IP based forum lag
I had the same thing happen, so for those also affected, here's how to fix it (on a PC with Chrome and compatible browsers, at least): Go into Developer Tools on your browser. (F12 on Chrome.) Click the Network tab. Hit Control-R to refresh. A list of files ending in .js, .css, etc. will appear. Rig...

Re: Please dont release the dlc during/near exam times
You'll just have to exhibit self-control, as there's a specific warranty disclaimer about this in the terms of service. :D https://www.factorio.com/terms-of-service Especially we are not responsible if you stay awake all night long playing Factorio and can't go to school / work in the morning :)

Re: [1.1.100] Updating will not work
Now mind you, I'm not saying it absolutely is your AV, but this certainly has the hall marks of it with your description of the zip file missing. There's nothing in Windows Defender to indicate that it's quarantined that file, nor do I see any clear indication of why that file would've been quarant...

Re: [1.1.100] Updating will not work
I use only Windows Defender, the same as I've used for years, and I've never had this problem with Factorio until recently.FuryoftheStars wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 4:31 pmHonestly, my first suspicion is that your AV is interfering in some way. You may want to check its quarantine and see if the missing zip is there.

Re: [1.1.100] Updating will not work
Oddly, if I do a full install it works.
That is, if I install the full version of 1.1.104, and then update by downloading and installing the full version of 1.1.105, it works fine.
It's only the in-game update procedure the fails on this archive.zip business.

On my system it's still broken. Today I uninstalled Factorio, then reinstalled the non-experimental version (1.1.104 build 62119), then tried to update to 105, and got the same archive.zip error again: Update failed: Checking update packages failed: Error opening update package: File C:/Program File...

Re: Friday Facts #400 - Chart search and Pins
Every week I'm reminded of how good a game can be when its developers play it and love it.
And I'm champing at the bit to play it with these changes.

There's an option called Smart belt dragging that enables that. So if you don't like it, you can uncheck that option to disable it.FritzHugo3 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 3:00 pmAlso i hate that underground belts build automaticle or the "smart" build mode.

Re: Expansion hype thread - Any updates on when/if there will be an expansion?
As a software developer myself, I've never seen software with a firm, no-compromise release date actually be good when it's released.
"It'll be ready when it's ready" simply produces better software...when it's ready.

Re: Easier deselection in Blueprint mode!!!
It's also possible to remove tiles or items by right-clicking in the Components...but that only works if you want to remove all of them, or none.

Re: [1.1.100] Updating will not work
A few questions for the devs: What exactly is this archive.zip and why is it so important to updating Factorio? I get the impression that it's just a collection of HTML pages or images or something. Why does updating fail without it? On my PC, the only way I can update right now is to download the w...

Re: [1.1.103] Error updating to 1.1.104
I'm having, not exactly the same problem, but similar:
This has happened with every version since 1.1.101. The only way I can update is to download the whole thing again and reinstall.

9 hours ahead, actually. Currently I'm writing this at 7:39am, and in Brisbane it's 16:39 (4:39pm). It's 9 hours later in Brisbane. We do Daylight Saving Time in Germany. Since we "spring forward" by setting our clocks an hour later, in that period your time would be 8 hours later. So duri...

Re: Is there a specific reason why wood is so useless?
I guess there isn't a real (automated) use for wood, because there isn't an automated way to acquire wood and wood isn't growing back. This precisely. The game is about automation, so why would the devs include a required ingredient whose acquisition can't be automated? As others have mentioned, th...

Re: One of my few UI complaints and inconsistency. My idea for a simple change.
But you don't have to have your most common items on 1, you would then have them on 2 or 4 depending on how many bars you use. The idea or point I was trying to make is the default layout feels backward when you look at the full list of taskbars in the background. If you completely removed the numb...

Re: One of my few UI complaints and inconsistency. My idea for a simple change.
The first thing is the taskbar; I think it should be defaulted to the reverse order than what it currently is when you start a new game. Right now they start with 1 at the top and increase as it goes down, Whereas I think 1 should be at the bottom and increase as it goes up I completely disagree. 1...

Re: construction manager ?
Not sure what your native language is, but you might consider writing in that language, and then using DeepL or Google Translate to render your post into English. That might be easier for us to understand.
