where would the files for the "base mod" be located? even with a fresh install of the 2.0.12 update, my game tried to load the 2.0.10 base mod and therefore, refuses to start


If that's true, then I don't think you actually had a fresh install. Keep in mind, reinstalling a game on Steam doesn't ...

I had a hard time trying to find game.entity_prototypes in LuaGameScript. it just disappears from the doc and I dont see it in the change log. where can I find an alternative method to get all the prototypes?

1/ You are showing error for "stacked-steel-plate" but data for "stacked-copper-cable"
2/ `icon` is required when `icons` are not given.

Not a bug.


Yeah, that was me just copying one of the recipes in the file. The exact name didn't matter since the issue was on the misleading error message of ...

This is debatable as to it being a bug or not, but it's a very misleading error to me and had me scratching my head for a few minutes about it.

Enqueue is not a word in the English language, as far as I know. Typically it would be "Add to queue."

This is my single most wanted feature. I've been hoping for this for many years.

Factorio 2 - Now a First Person "shooter". No top down view until you research drones that fly above you and look down. Try building your megafactory in first person view only. :)

A roboport can only charge 4 bots at once. And it's not exactly 'fast' when you scale it up. Them forming a circle around it is standard "waiting to recharge" formation.

May I please request a 1.1 update so it works with the latest version of factorio?
I'm sorry i dont know how mods work well enought to submit a github thingo. If I could I would.

Thanks and many thanks for supporting the mod!


It was update for 1.1 10 days ago. https://mods.factorio.com/mod ...

This might not belong here, but it is related to 1.1.3.

I was looking for some insights into a mod that I have provided assistance with, and I was trying to determine if there is an easy way to prevent handcrafting of certain items, because the recipe creates more than one stack when completed ...

Thanks. You're completely right. Works perfectly when changed.

I asked on the modding discord and Honktown helped me narrow it down. The cause is most likely the change in 1.1 for "Fixed that players could be stuck in walls when building them."

So the mod in question is Solar Walls . I'm updating it to 1.1 and I believe there's a bug will walls that prevents ...

I don't know what you have your UI scale at, but this probably isn't a bug.

Yes that was also my situation. It would be nice to have some signal for power loss, or signal output on the power switch for reading its state of open or closed.


Read from an accumulator. If stored power drops below 100%, you're using more power than you're generating. Engage backup power.

while the wiki states that:
Mods with the factorio_version "0.18" can also be loaded in 1.0 and the mod portal will return them when queried for factorio_version 1.0 mods.

Really weird no one here is talking about

Transport belt drag building is locked into a line, can be turned off by an interface setting.

I'm quite surprised by the complaints related to the quickbar change. It seems like a super obvious thing to me, that I always clear the cursor automatically whenever I'm done doing something with an item. Clicking some other quickbar item with something else is hand is just something that doesn't ...

But the whole point is that while the old quickbar did contain items, the new one (i.e. new a few versions ago) actually contains shortcuts. Trying to make it look like it contains items just increases the confusion.

My original complaint was based on a reading of the change-log. Now an hour of ...

Correct. It was removed due to causing issues. Here's the bug report for the issue: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=91658
