Factorio already has an API key - the service token, which keb already mentioned in the first post. It is a 30-character hexadecimal string stored in player-data.json (after the first in-game authentication using username and password). It is used for Factorio updates and for hosting a server, where...

I partially agree : it should be Ctrl+"the bottom left letter key" when that letter is not Z ! :P It's still wrong - as the empty space next to XCV hints at. Why do you consider it wrong? Obviously the CTRL+Z keyboard combination was picked because the Z key (on US keyboards) was in the bottom row ...

At the risk of repeating what I said on Discord, IMHO you should do the right thing ™, and set "Undo" to the scan-code for "whatever is the bottom left letter key" (Z for QWERTY, Y for QWERTZ, W for AZERTY, Я for JCUKEN...) ... There is no well defined "Right Thing" in this case. For example CRTL-Z...

The wiki still has this entry (under Basic): So, something with the order "a" comes before something with the order "b" or "c". "something" is not defined, but it's apparent that it means Prototype. As for "comes", in this case I would say "it is processed/listed before ...". The order property is a...

... Bilka is German and this is a simple translation error. "2 like prototypes" essentially means "2 similar prototypes" (or technically prototypes that have the same type, which should be reflected on the wiki page). Also, "to determine if a given prototype comes before or after another", comes is...

How to make it parametrically? ? The order string is just that, a simple string. - (minus) and [] (square brackets) are just added for human readability, but they don't influence the result*. I'm not sure what you mean by parametrically/parametrisch. * They do, somewhat, but you'll probably never g...

[0.16.16] Productivity modules, Nuclear fuel Thanks for the report. Nuclear fuel is not an intermediate product: it's not used in any other recipe. Additionally the tooltip just isn't true - it should read "productivity modules can't be used on this recipe" because it has nothing to do with what an...

I'm not sure what the crop bitmaps step is doing, but since it only seems to run on first run, (and maybe when you make certain changes to graphics settings), it presumably caches its results somewhere. That leads to another possibility. Perhaps your antivirus program or windows file permissions ar...

They are working on a Settlers 8, trailer here . It was removed from the Settlers series, renamed and released in 2016 as Champions of Anteria. I also saw that they are working on a Settlers Anthology that will have all of the old ones in it. It releases on November 15, 2018 under the name The Sett...

The issue isn't that it thinks the miners already have power. Dragging is pretty simple logic - as soon as you're at edge of range of all power poles, drop another pole. Dragging was changed a while ago to make sure all entities in the area are connected, e.g. if you run along a row of inserters an...

Have you tried the solutions posted in viewtopic.php?t=9300 ?

Not a bug. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=37198 That's a side effect of an optimization done for mining drills and will be staying that way. Once the drill runs out of things to mine it is shut off so it doesn't consume CPU time needlessly on the extremely low chance that ore is sp...

From curiosity, I googled 'Factorio spawner richness' and on the results page, it had this text... but when I went to the site, that text was nowhere to be found. Relevant or something random? https://i.imgur.com/NW8h2HO.png Haha, Bilka just changed it: https://wiki.factorio.com/World_generator#Ric...

Enemy richness was the amount of purple orbs a base dropped in the past. Its a legacy option wich can be removed :) But Im pretty sure you guys still remember if even I do ;) I thought the same for a long time (and it was a widespread assumption at the time), but last year I experimentally tested i...

The legality of these questions has never seemed all that complicated: these are established game modes, and you can't patent the idea of two teams fighting in each other. The morality of the situation may be a little more interesting, but only marginally. At the end of the day, I feel like this co...

Implemented in 0.15.0.

I personally had problem understanding, that the Queue button is actually a button on a first glance. Agreed, I actually had to read the FFF a second time (this time thoroughly and comparing the images) to find the Queue button since it's visually not very distinguishable from the other states. Als...

The day in central Europe still has 47 minutes left... I live in central Europe >thankyou_ You can always view the "forum time" (which is also CET) on the board index anyway, so it means nothing. Unfortunately, you are also wrong, because the forum time does not switch to CEST for the summer. It is...

I'm not sure if I should report this crash, however the dialog urged me to do so ("Post the contents of the log file, inlcuding your save file, on the forums"). And a forum wide search didn't yield any results when I tried with specific keywords from the log. I'll understand if this gets moved to 1/...
