I don't really see why it should crash I have tried this according to your description on OSX and it works fine.

Thanks for the bug report. This one is quite funny indeed Will be fixed in 0.2.9.

Factorio is sort of a sandbox game in the nature. However we always wanted there to be a pressure on the player "to do something". That is why we have the creepers (fight) and research in the first place. I can totally imagine there are a lot of people who just want to "play around&qu...

@Darthlawsuit Thank you ! For now we will use the torrents only for the demo. The alpha will be downloaded directly.

Thank you all guys for supporting us and spreading the word

"Creative mode" - it is definitely coming.

Haha fantastic What exactly is that - a duck ?

This sounds more like an idea than a bug to me. So I moved the topic.

Also there is a mod already which allows repairing: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=14&t=312

Attacking by placing turrets closer and closer to the bases is sort of an "emergent" strategy. This is an alpha and fight is something we haven't put that much work in yet. We really want to have this improved in the future. Also there will most likely be different kinds of enemies with di...

Come to think of it.. factorio really shows quite some similarities with OpenTTD. In OpenTTD the main focus is on land and water vehicles that need to take a path along a predefined route to pick up and deliver goods. Aircraft on the other hand are only dependant on an airport (teleporter) from whi...

In 0.2.9 we fixed the missing translation tags and removed the rocket-creeper. The items in the filter window are simply all the items in the game at the moment. We will probably add a flag "displayable in the filter window" in the future.

One of the ideas for the logistic robots we had was that they would use some sort of energy (like batteries or so). And when running low they would need to find the closest "hangar" where they would recharge their batteries.

What I did is that I replaced the files in the data/resources one by one. Actually when making mods like these it would be nice if the author would make a zip file that would be extracted at the data level and fill in all the particular files. However we hope to provide an official mod manager to ad...

We are not talking about the whole campaign here. We are talking specifically about 3d level of the tutorial. That is a first level where player actually needs to figure something on his own (build radars, produce enough iron and copper plates, maybe build assembling machine, etc.) and at the same t...

Hmm the app in the OSx can't handle changing the package name at the

You can get around this in the config.ini (~/Library/Application Support/factorio/config/config.ini) by having:

[path]
read-data=__PATH__executable__/factorio 0.2.8.app/Contents/data

True. This is not really convenient.

Not a bug. Still can look a bit confusing ...

I found the problem. It will be fixed in the 0.2.9. The problem itself was not in the pathfinding but in the "optimalization" that was supposed to lower the number of paths that are calculated.

@Kadaban I got it, thx.

It is quite possible that the pathfinding is the cause of a slowdown. We haven't touched that code for quite some time

I will have a look into that. However it would help me to verify this if some of you with this problem could post a save somewhere and provide a link.

Tried it in the game and it looks interesting.
