I enjoy downloading the variety of different bases that people include in their Bug Reports. Sometimes you learn new things about game mechanics or find pretty patterns in their wall layout.

Everybody has to have a hobby, I guess?

I recently discovered that the file ./data/base/graphics/chemical-plant/chemical-plant.png was removed. In both the base and Space Age Linux versions.
This remains true in 2.1.14 as well.
Was this intentional? Why not mentioned in the changelog? Or is this an oversight? Some mods use that sprite ...

So if I make a deconstruction planner that deletes only trees, it's impossible to set the icon for that deconstruction planner to be a tree. Or if I make a blueprint for a Nauvis tree farm, it's impossible to include a tree in that blueprint's icons.

The Factorio.com “Installer” defaults to using the %appdata%/Factorio/ folder as the User data directory ; the same place as the Steam version. It sounds like Steam Sync merged your saves by uploading them, deleting them locally, and then downloading them again.

I prefer to use the “Zip” package ...

Please upload the factorio-current.log file from your User data directory from a session where you have earned an achievement in-game (but not received it in Steam).

You can download the game directly from Factorio.com (after connecting your Steam account to verify the Purchase), and play that "Offline" with family members. Yes, it is difficult to share Mod files manually: if they like the game, then they would need to ...

This limit was actually increased to 1024; although it is now “only” 199/200 characters. Having the higher limit returned would certainly help.

It is already possible to move all items or all stacks of specific item between inventory and container in a single click. Why drag?


You can use Ctrl+Click while in Character Mode ("in the world") to empty an entire Chest; but this does not work in Remote View .

You can use Right-Click while ...

126765 discussed this previously including the reason why these are not available as a "Signal". Somebody was nice enough to create a mod on GitHub which creates Virtual Signals! I have forked it and released to the Mod Portal . It is not perfect, but it works for sending a Signal over the network ...

I believe that items which already exist in the game are preferable to wishes for features.

There is of course a mod for that ; I thought it was impossible because there is not an equipment-based reach_distance_modifier ... however (like most things in Factorio!) it can be worked-around using a ...

Good Luck!

Savegame version is 2.1.12.

From an API design perspective, leaving forces and players as optional parameters simplifies the function-calling stack in the trivial case of a Singleplayer game or Multiplayer-all-players-on-the-same-force (default), since you do not need to worry about them at all. If you are trying to render ...

Thank you!

A kindly Moderator has already moved it to “Gameplay Help”.

Good Luck!

With the release of 2.1 it would be really helpful if the thruster fuel and oxidiser specifically were barrel-able. Platform to platform transfers intentionally make getting a new ship setup much easier. Often you only need a little bit of fuel to get the thing moving and then it'll be able to ...
