Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age

While I understand the decision, the shift from Longterm EA to Release Only makes me sad. Great Early Access Games (Like Ark, Factorio) made me come back to the game time and time again - ramping up the hours. When a game is released I usually play through it once and am done with it afterwards. Fac...

Re: Friday Facts #246 - The GUI update (Part 3)

In regards to the Order of the Buttons:

What we did in all our programs is Ordering them by System Default.
This way all users experience it like they are used to.

And the work overhead is pretty small since the positions of the buttons is just a reversal of the coordinates...

Re: German Eisenplatte =/= Stahlplatte

Re: Version 0.15.37

Well reviewers normally wait till release before they review a game. Some good reviews could get the game noticed by people who haven't already seen it. Yeah, but the early-access reviews stop at the same time. Also: The best review for Factorio is the percentage of thumbs up on Steam. I and my fri...

as for the rest of the response, you guys are too offensive. seriously, if you doesn't like my thread just get out. Same could be said for you... It's a sandbox game.

Re: Version 0.15.37

For a commercial 1.0 release, you might want to release for holiday (2018-2020 somewhere around there :D ). For a full commercial release, the holiday period is critical for sales and january/february release would be commercial suicide. Like most early-access games, I don't think it matters that m...

Re: Friday Facts #215 - Multithreading issues

Sad to hear, that there probably won't be any real multithreading in the "near" future. Especially since i own a Ryzen 1600X, which seems to be worse than my Ivy-Bridge i5 (Which is used as my Server right now) for Factorio. But at least now there is some definity, which probably means I'l...

Re: ore processing tires seems a bit strange

You should check again.

You can single sort Iron, Copper, Lead and Tin from crushed ores.

To get single-Ore output the next 5, you need Chunks, Crystals for the 5 after that.

For Tungsten you need purified.


You can However get most of the ores one Tier earlier by doing multi-output sorting.

Re: So I have written myself a license

You should allow building a mod-pack with the graphics IF your mod is included also. If thats not in, i can't use it for a MP-Server, since I am not allowed to redistribute. And there would be the possibility for the Factorio-Devs and the Server-Owners to be liable for unintended Copyright Infringem...

Re: Multiplayer issues

Did you try forwarding the port 34197 (default Factorio-Port) on the hosts router (to the hosts computer) and then connecting via Direct Connect? My server had massive problems, connecting to the matching server, so i decided to stop listing the server alltogether (also helps reduce the risks of bei...

Linux Headless - Do regular restarts make sense

I could probably test this myself, but I hope someone has some real-life experience (or done the testing already) on this. So here is my question: I run a heavily modded headless Linux Factorio Server. (Bobs/Angels/SpaceX including Betas, about 30-40 smaller convenience Mods). We're not that far in,...

Re: Multiplayer, why is noone playing it?

Most games are private.

It's quite easy to get griefed, private games are easier to control (Griefers are getting kicked / new PW and that's it).

Also MP is requiring communication, which is easier in private games.

Just look on reddit, i found 10 ppl for my Angels/Bob/SpaceX within a day...

Like the Title suggests, I am looking ppl to start a new Game with Bob's and Angels. I'd put a few convenience Mod's like Nanobots and Fast Start into the Mix. What convenience-mods we use will be up to us (I am open for discussion). I can host the factorio and a TS-Server. Discord would be possible...
