well, it is unlikely if you verify user authentication with factorio.com, correct? or maybe not.. I don't know the details enough to say one way or the other, but even if authentication is required, you could still perform the denial-of-service attack, you'd just need a valid user account to do so.

Just a random thought, but could this lead a a denial-of-service attack against a Factorio server? If someone wrote a program to emulate Factorio's connection process to another server and then just stayed connected without acknowledging the sent map data, would this result in nobody else being able...

This one is pretty easy to replicate. 1) Start the map editor. 2) Click the Entities tab. 3) Place a medium power pole on the ground. 4) Click the Clone tab. 5) Select the medium power pole you placed in step (3). 6) Clone a new medium power pole within connection distance of the medium power pole y...

The Lua API documentation is one of the most valuable resources for modders: It is generated directly from the game's source code, so it completely covers all scripting functionalities. Furthermore, additional pages cover some general concepts such as in what order mod files are loaded or how to st...

This no longer happens to me in 0.17.3.

Report this as a bug in Factorio in the bug reports forum, Factorio shouldn't crash from a mod, it should detect the error and recover from it.

Already done.

I can reproducibly crash Factorio 0.17.3 with the 1.0.4 version of Creative Mod.

I asked Rseding91 about this. He said that the map editor wasn't really made to work with items like this, but explained a work around. With "Tools > None" selected, create a chest in your inventory and place it on the ground. Place all the items you wish to delete in the chest. Select &qu...

Repro steps: In the Map editor, hit Escape. Click on Settings. Click on Other. Click the Back button in the bottom left. You will be given a confirmation dialog to abandon unsaved changes, but there have been no changes made. The top left "Undo" icon also shows "All options have defau...

I am also unable to delete items in the map editor. We used to be able to use X to delete items in 0.16, this doesn't seem to work in 0.17.2.

When loading a new map I created in the map editor as a scenario, the game crashed and popped up a Windows dialog asking to submit the log file to the bug report forums. I believe I had the Creative Mod installed, which I have attached to this post. For some reason I can't attach the custom scenario...

Ah, good catch. This should probably give some kind of error message then, it didn't occur to me to check my inventory!

Thanks, Jon!

So, I decided to check out blueprint mode and managed to get myself stuck. As best I can tell, I clicked on the blueprint button on the bottom right of the screen, then hit Q a few times trying to get the blueprint off my cursor, without ever creating a blueprint. That didn't seem to work, so I trie...

Holy.... I didn't expect 0.16 can be released so soon. I'm still busy, so I can't guaranteer when I can release updates of my mods. I tried to send you a few bucks to your Paypal in the first post since I use your mod and wanted to show my appreciation. Unfortunately, I get an error when sending an...

Without having the original file with PlayerData, there is not much i can do.

I have a backup of my old player data. If you want it, I can give it to you. If you don't, that's okay too. Just figured I would offer.

Factorio 0.16.x Experimental via Steam. Haven't played in a while, since probably 0.15.20 or so. Updated to 0.16.x. Started the game. Immediate popup after the logo screen, on top of the patch notes dialog, that says: "Data error Failed to load the player data file. Campaign progress might be l...

Surfaces sound promising... I ended up making a little mod to do it: local function make_chunk(event) local x1 = event.area.left_top.x local y1 = event.area.left_top.y local x2 = event.area.right_bottom.x local y2 = event.area.right_bottom.y local surface = event.surface local replace_type = "d...

I forgot the x10 change in 0.15 again.
Will fix that in the next version.

Sweet. Thank you!

Hi Mooncat. Thanks for the great mod. I noticed earlier when creating an oil setup that the maximum resource amount for the Magic Wand "Creator" tool is capped at 1,000,000 (one million) which only allows creating oil patches with a maximum 333% (33/sec) yield. With the oil changes in 0.15...
