I can plug different memory allocator with a command on Linux:

So I tested memory allocators under Linux, and that's the results I used best of 3 results here, because I testing it on Laptop between latest and greatest glibc which is default, and Microsoft experimental labs MiMalloc. It has 7.2% difference over 5000 ticks of Nefrums 100% Achievement map, hey Ox...

I'm second on this. Lato wasn't perfect, but still much more better than Noto. I personally changed files in core/fonts to Exo 2 font which is very close stilystically but very poorly maintained. For example version in master of google fonts repo lacks multiplication sign( × ) widely used in Factori...

I was not sure if I can share this publicly (still not sure, but it seem to be pretty known, if I try to google it) ... if you put steam_appid.txt that contains Factorio's SteamID next to factorio.exe, Steam won't relaunch factorio.exe from the client. I found it separately after my last message bu...

Thanks for the report however there's nothing we can do about this. Steam does this automatically when the steam version of a game is launched outside of steam. I will dig into it, but my educated guess that if you hook Steam API with if(LoadLibrary(...)==NULL) it not only not increase code, but ac...

2: Factorio bypasses this and you can start it directly in which case you need to update "config-path.cfg" to make your copy standalone. Example config: config-path=__PATH__executable__/../../config use-system-read-write-data-directories=false The config will need to be altered even if St...

What about different game versions? The executable itself is keyed to the version, so you'll need multiple installs for that. That's what i'm trying to say. If you launch any Steam version of factorio(for time tracking for example) from outside of Steam folder instead of actually launch it it launc...

The portable version downloadable from the Factorio website does not hook into the Steam API, and both versions offer command line options for setting the config file and mod directory in use.

What about different game versions?

For example: I run steam version of factorio.exe from: d:\Games\Factorio-Seablock\bin\x64\ but instead of actually launching factorio from this folder D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Factorio\bin\x64\factorio.exe is launched. I think it's more convenient just to check if user owns the game with stea...

I tried to play with Belarus locale to have some fun and noticed ugly mix of Titillium font which is used there for Latin letters, numbers and punctuation and DejavuSans for Cyrillic letters, see screenshot. The very same problem with Cyrillic Serbian. My proposal is to explicitly set font-family in...

I've got the savegame from this topic:

I'm a new player, I downloaded quite notorious "568 hour factory" as a performance benchmark just to tune my settings and now almost all Steam achievements are unlocked. You're stricting players to have 0 mods even QoL ones to get Steam Achievements but casually loading a 3rd party save un...
