this looks awesome!! but on trying it out when loading the save so i can import the reconverted map into the game, new mod file loaded, it throws me an error: NOTICE __MapConverter__\control.lua:3: __MapConverter__\mapdata.lua:252: unexpected symbol near ',' any suggestions where im doing it wrong ...

For future reference: yes you can!

Open up the console and enter "/c game.player.force.rechart()" (without the quotes, of course) to invalidate the map and it will update itself.

I hope this hasn't been reported...

If I am outside of a group of biter's aggro range and I one-hit kill one the other ones don't aggro. However, if I don't one-hit the biter they all aggro on me. They also don't care if I shoot at their homes as long as I don't hit them

Put your recipes file on pastebin or put the recipes here so we can see what they look like

That's the problem. I can't find the data folder, and have even looked in any hidden folders, which apparently don't exist Try searching through your entire HDD(s) for some of the files in the /data/ folder. Here are some examples that are all in /data/ or in one of its subfolders: laser-turret-upg...

I'm on windows as well. I set it to not use the %appdata% directory though.

For me the folder is at D:/Win8/Spel/Factorio/data/ where Factorio is my install dir. If it's not there it ought to be in the %appdata% (roaming) directory

You Factorio directory contains /data/base. There you can find the base mod which contains a whole lot of things. If you want to create a custom item or entity this is a great place to start. Do you know how to add an item/entity into the game? If not you should read this to get started. You can fin...

Interesting!

The needed science packs are pretty close to each other. I didn't expect it to be that close between them.

Control.lua is loaded whenever you start a game, but "static" things like recipes and items don't reload until you restart the game. It takes me about 14 seconds to start Factorio, 2 of those are spent loading mods and the rest is just loading sprites. So even if there's a button to reload...

This is a very nice initiative!

Maybe somewhere down the road you can add a browser? Something like Steam Workshop or like the old Garrysmod.org. It would be nice to have categories and tags for browsing and searching.

I'm not sure whether or not "advertising" is appreciated, but I figured not everyone is interested in mods and might not look in that forum so why not make a post here since map creators is the intended audience. Factorio's map editor is fine and dandy, but can be a bit slow when you want ...

I made a mod that allows you to assemble tanks out of parts. Right now I only added 2 chassis, 2 engines, and 2 weapons for the proof of concept. Any property can be modified since it modifies the recipies/parts rather than changing the entities at runtime. I figured I would start a thread to get in...

Am I missing something or does game.player.caninsert() always return true?

Absolutely! I edited the post to include some before/after pitctures

What is it? For large-scale terraforming Factorio's map editor can be cumbersome, so I made a mod that exports maps to files and a program to convert those files into an image. This means you can use your favorite image editing program to edit a map and then convert that image and import it into Fa...

Haha, yeah I noticed that this forum is a bit dead. I didn't mean that the content should be uploaded to gfycat. I was rather hoping that someone could maybe dig up a way to do it with MediaWik, but if the bandwidth isn't an issue I guess we're good to go. I do like the ability to have higher fps wi...

Is it possible to use HTML5 video on the wiki instead of normal .gifs?

Some information is listed here, at gfycat. I'm not saying we should use gfycat specifically but that it would be beneficial to use HTML5 videos instead of gifs
