Happens from time to time in real life, but apparently never in Factorio. Some examples.

Set SCE to AUX.

It uses a very modest amount of power, 1.5MW, while building a rocket. Then it uses 26MW while _launching_ the rocket, then down to 1.5MW for a second or two, then back to full power to lift the next rocket into place. That just seems backwards to me.

Launching:

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:

Also, I don’t think any recipe uses ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

That's nice. Still doesn't change the fact that I cannot log in to factorio.com.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

No, quite different.

I'm having a lot of fun with this one.

Some of the recipes are crazy:

I'm going to have to update and improve my tutorial on the map generator settings: http://db48x.net/factorio-terrain/
Thanks, great tutorial !


Thank you!

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 ...

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.

Saving and reloading changed the scenario

Yes, but that only happened after we had problems rejoining.

The main problem is the error message doesn't make any sense.

I think he means that saving and reloading changed the scenario back to whatever it should have been, and thus fixed the problem ...

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 ...
