When running the Steam version of the base game without Space Age installed the rail tooltip mentions a key bind to switch between ground and elevated paths, a feature which does not exist. 10-23-2024, 16-27-38.png This was spotted by Dino [NG] on steam https://steamcommunity.com/app/427520/discussi...

I've posted the guide at viewtopic.php?f=49&t=116873 and https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 3353500378 now.

If you updated the game from 1.1 to one of the 2.0 versions before 2.0.9 then the rail blueprints in your blueprint library may have been garbled. garbled-1.jpg ​ To fix this you can revert your blueprint library to the 1.1 version by following these steps. Make sure you're on version 2.0.9 or later...

I've written a guide for fixing rail blueprints and verified that it works on version 2.0.9 of the game. This version is currently experimental so if you don't have this version either wait for it to become stable or update to the experimental release. How to fix garbled rail blueprints after updati...

It appears you have uploaded the wrong screenshot. The attached image shows the Steam's Top Sellers list, not the error you described.

If you have an existing blueprints in your blueprint storage from 1.1 containing the old legacy rails, then these blueprints will be effectively destroyed when you run 2.0 and they get migrated 10-20-2024, 00-45-19.png But if you export such blueprints to a string in 1.1 and import them in the game ...

One of the example code for the RecipePrototype in the docs is { type = "recipe", name = "iron-plate", category = "smelting", energy_required = 3.5, ingredients = {{type = "item", name = "iron-ore", amount = 1}}, result = "iron-plate" } How...

Not sure if this is known/tracked/in-progress, but the icon for the Advanced thruster fuel recipe uses a burnt brick instead of carbon.

Yes, this is possible, but it's much easier if you use a non-steam copy of the game for the second player. Fortunately the devs have been kind enough to include a non-steam copy of the game with a steam purchase. This is what you need to do. Register a Factorio.com account in-game with your steam co...

The first, and most important, is that the factorio window *itself* does not remember its own geometry. When I start factorio.exe, the game opens a 1024x768 window every single time, and then I must manually resize it by dragging the corner, which is obviously ludicrous ... This 1024x768 value is o...

This does not have anything to do with difficulty other than the place you put the ingredients to apply for normal difficulty. The documentation for ingredients state that it is a table of IngredientsPrototype. The error is saying it expected to find a table inside data.raw.technology["power-ce...

You can access the tables of existing prototypes through data.raw. If I'm not mistaken then something like should do what you want to achieve.

Both Auto Deconstruct and Picker Inventory Tools provide a better (as in 'more automatic') version of this feature today. I know about auto deconstruct, but I wanted to do the deconstruction myself so that I can keep track of how much of a mine has depleted since the last time I looked at it. I kno...

Slowdown with 200 long trains I've built a 40 km long railway to get to those juicy 200M ore fields with default map gen options (call it a challenge if you may). To get the ore back to base there are about 200 trains moving at any given point in time consisting of 32 wagons each so that's about 6....

You have provided far too little detail to make any useful deductions about what's going on. Does downloading other files from the server go slowly or is it just Factorio that is slow? If you downgrade the link to 1Gbps does it still run slow? What is your network setup exactly? What OS do you use? ...
