Re: Space Exploration Nauvis Mall

Thank you for these blueprints; I’ve found them quite handy. None of them build turrets though, so I tacked those on to the end of the first BP, although that’s not really very convenient: http://db48x.net/temp/Screenshot%20from%202021-04-26%2018-41-56.png Also, I don’t think any recipe uses both sm...

Re: [0.17.2] non-Steam player cannot connect to a multiplayer game hosted by a player using Steam

That's a pretty big regression from 0.16. It's going to make it quite difficult or impossible to keep separate versions for different purposes, such as joining multiplayer games with different versions, different mods, and especially with development versions of mods. (Yes, there's a command-line ar...

[0.17.2] non-Steam player cannot connect to a multiplayer game hosted by a player using Steam

I hosted a game this evening, and one player was able to connect while the other wasn't. We tried all the usual suspects, but obviously it wasn't a problem with port forwarding (since one player was able to join). Eventually on a whim I suggested that the other player get a Steam key and try that ve...

Re: Friday Facts #266 - Cleanup of mechanics

As long as you're simplifying the math, why don't you take a look at the crafting speeds? The math would be considerably simpler if you made the crafting speeds of the assemblers be 1x, 2x, and 3x rather than .5x, .75x, and 1.25x.

Re: [MOD 0.16] Beltlayer

I suppose that's fair, although I feel compelled to point out that the belt is a mechanical component that would require occasional inspection and service too. :)

That's simply the latest version of recaptcha; it's the problem.

If you are able to update, you should have your token in the player-data.json file in https://wiki.factorio.com/Application_directory
That's nice. Still doesn't change the fact that I cannot log in to factorio.com.

Re: I cannot log in to factorio.com due to recaptcha

If I had an API token then I could use the new API endpoint, but I would have to log in to factorio.com to create a token. Catch-22. If they're worried about someone using the login form to brute-force a user's password (and that's a valid concern), the right solution is exponential backoff. After e...

I haven't actually played a game with this mod yet, but I'm curious about your decision not to allow splitters on the underground level. Why not? it seems like a logical thing to do.

I cannot log in to factorio.com due to recaptcha

Recaptcha is the worst piece of software in the world. I spent at least 5 minutes clicking on bicycles and busses and mountains and other crap, waiting 5 to 10 seconds for each new image to fade into view, and finally got a green checkbox. And then the login failed anyway and it said that I hadn't s...

Re: 0.16 Map generation Feedback

I've just noticed this thread, and haven't read much of it, but by pure coincidence I've been working on an interactive explanation of how map generation in Factorio works. I too think that the map options are cryptic and hard to understand; it took me ages to understand what was going on. I think t...

I've been working on an interactive explanation of how Factorio generates maps which lets you interactively explore the various options that lets you see how each option really works. It only covers ore, but water and terrain segmentation are similar. http://db48x.net/factorio-terrain/ Let me know w...

Re: [16.23] cryptic error message while connecting to server

I had actually stepped away from the computer for a moment. The server was left running with the other players connected to it. They were dropped from the game, and when they tried to reconnect they were unable to do so. When I returned I saved the map, exited back to the menu, and restarted the gam...

Re: Server Crush on no respond from pingpong servers

I got a similar error. The game doesn't crash, it just shows the error message and exits back to the main menu (persumably the headless server would exit entirely). Also, the game paused for 10-20 seconds right before showing the message. The game had been running for several minutes, though no othe...
