Attaching an entity with an filtered input-output port to a pipeline will lock the whole pipeline to that filter.

I hate this change. In my opinion, it caused too much collateral damage just to fix a minor issue.
One collateral damage it caused is that it's no longer possible to use dynamic ...

The real solution is to switch to llvm libc and make the game a fully static binary. Then it will only have a minimum required kernel version.

Fascinating edge case! If you don't want to create a password, then yeah, the only way will be continuing to enter your token in the player-data.json file. The standalone version of the game is entirely divorced from steam so it can't sign in with steam oauth.

Moving to technical help.

Aha, that is subtle!

Ah, I swore we were on Debian 13, my bad. But now I remember our conversation where we explicitly talked about Debian 12 being the one we support.

This appears to be an issue with this third-party docker container. I downloaded a fresh headless zip, copied the example configuration, and it spun up a server just fine.

You say you're logging in with username + token. The in-game GUI needs your account password, not your internal token. Please make sure you're using your password.

Thanks for the report, but this is not a bug. Blueprints store the snap-to-grid "enabled" status as "whether or not the grid is set to 0x0". When you disable the grid, it's setting the grid size to zero. So this is "working as intended" even if it's not completely obvious.

I will look into ...

I am able to run Factorio 2.1 on Steam and Wayland just fine. I spent an hour trying to spin up an Omarchy VM to test Omarchy but ran into many issues. I may look into it again later, but for now I'm going to say, "unsupported distro".

I also don't own an nvidia card to test with.

This is undoubtedly related to SDL3. I would reach out to the SDL3 devs because we aren't doing anything specially different with our windowing. Maybe see if an SDL3 sample application has the same issue.

The preferred video driver is a "hint" to SDL to select a certain one, but it will still fall back to the old one if it can't use the preferred one for whatever reason.

Please launch the game with SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland and see what happens - if it can't initialize on Wayland it should now crash ...

Our builds are now based on Debian 13, which uses glibc 2.41. We need Debian 13 for various reasons related to platform integration.

Side note: the headless version is built on Debian 11 instead and should run in many more cases.

Please ensure you are on the latest version of your linux distribution. We upgraded the glibc requirement in 2.1.

Could you tell me if this plant would work with the new pipes?
Note the output from the oil refineries. And the fact that the refineries below have a variable recipe depending on gas reserves.
What's your take on this? Is it possible or is it a misuse of a glitch?

Thanks for the report. This has been fixed for version 2.1.0.

Directional connections do not have unlimited throughput; they are limited by the source and destination fullness ratios as well as the free space in the destination (and the amount in the source). A fusion generator can only transfer five per tick at max because it can only hold 10 fluid and ...

Thanks for the report, this has been fixed for 2.1.

I just switched to Linux last week and was having this problem but I managed to find a workaround.

1. Copy whatever blueprint string you want
2. Paste into your preferred text editor (I had to use VS Code in this case, KWrite literally crashed, lol)
3. Save the file as some text file
4. Drag and ...

Thanks for the report, but this is working as intended. A "pipeline" is a set of fluid boxes that are joined into one buffer, i.e. pipes, pipe-to-grounds, and storage tanks (and, as you mentioned, EM plants). Directional connections split pipelines, and if an entity has exclusively directional ...

Thanks for the report. The fluid voiding has been fixed for version 2.1.0.
