TL;DR The "Record replay" checkbox should be in a more obvious spot. What ? The "Record replay" option should be placed either somewhere on the left of the New Game screen, somewhere in the map generation settings, or even as an additional Yes/No prompt when hitting play, like &...

https://imgur.com/a/e20b0nC ^ Screenshots I loaded my save after updating to 0.17.5 today, only to realize that offshore pumps seemingly aren't producing any water, no matter where I place them. It always says "0.0" for its output, though oddly enough pipes connected to it seem to contain ...

Well, it's mounted as root and you (as non-root) have read-only permissions to it. It's more suspicious that it ever worked. It had read-only permissions? That's odd, I've been using this card for at least 6 months now and I've been able to run multiple games and use it like it was my laptop's disk...

I recently got a new hard drive which I intended to format to ext4, and created a world in 0.16 seems to work on it!

So I guess the problem was the filesystem. Though it confuses me why 0.16 couldn't create a world on exFAT but 0.15 could, I'm glad I was able to resolve it.

Thanks for the information. Do you know if the SD card is formatted as FAT or NTFS? Also, could you show the output of `ls -l /media/seth/Games/factorio-0.16`? The SD card is formatted as exFAT; here's the output of that command: (trusty)seth@localhost:~$ ls -l /media/seth/Games/factorio-0.16 total...

Hi. Is /media/seth/Games located on some kind of a network share or something? Could you post the output of the `mount` command? (Just `mount`, no arguments.) Thanks for replying! /media/seth/ is where my SD card is mounted currently. `mount` command output: /dev/mmcblk0p1 on / type ext4 (rw,noatim...

Hi! I downloaded 0.16.1 to try it out today and I can't seem to start a new world at all. Each time I click "Generate" it stalls for a couple seconds and gives me this notice: filesystem error: copy_file "/media/seth/Games/factorio-0.16/temp/currently-playing/level.dat" to "...

If that does not do it, it might help to diagnose if you could capture the flicker in a screenshot or gif.

Thanks so much, this worked perfectly!

Very sorry about that; editing my post now

Custom power sources are complicated. There is no simple way to define them, you need to do most of the work in a Lua script. data.lua: Define 2 entities. One with type="accumulator", one with type="container". control.lua: on_built_entity, on_robot_built_entity: If the item is ...

The "electric-energy-interface" type entity can produce or consume power at demand with any of it's energy properties being adjustable runtime through the Lua API: http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaEntity.html#LuaEntity.power_production Thanks for the link! I'm understanding it a bit ...

I'm making a battery mod as my first mod, just to get used to modding. I want entities that use electricity (such as electric mining drills) to be able use batteries, like burner items use fuel/coal/wood. The general idea is to have a 1x1 machine that you put batteries in which would have tiers like...

In info.json add the line "dependencies": ["RequiredMod >= 1.2.3"] After that you can refer to any item in the mod as if it was in base mod. I've put this in the info.json, so it looks like this now: { "name": "BeakerMod", "version": "0.1.0&quo...

Even so, I want still to make beakers, so I'd still like to know if there's a way to use items from other mods.

I wanted to make a simple mod that would add glass, and then another mod that would add beakers, so that beakers would be used in science packs. I'm making it just so I can kind of get used to making mods. I decided I would use the silicone and oxygen items from the Bob's Intermediates mod so it wou...
