Another observation: I was still logged in on my desktop computer, and everything works as expected there. But I still can't log in or search from my laptop, where I logged off some days ago. Of course, I had to update my video driver before noticing these issues. Now I'd need to restart my computer...

I think you need to be logged in to your Factorio account to play multiplayer but I never play multiplayer so I don't know the details. There's always the possibility to play multiplayer in a LAN -- without connecting to Factorio. (Although strictly a singleplayer user, I know that from testing my ...

Perhaps unrelated, but searching for a mod doesn't work anymore either! I searched for a particular mod, but just got a list of the most recently updated mods.

Same thing just happened to me. When I used the correct password on the mod portal, it was accepted but "Log in" still remained on top of the page. After using a wrong password deliberately, I've got a complaint "username and password don't match".

1, Is it possible to access functions or variables in another file? Through require directive or something else? In this mod , I've stored different functions and variable definitions in an extra file (common.lua): return function () local common = {} -----------------------------------------------...

Having just used the mod portal again, here are 2 suggestions: It would be nice if we could preview our posts on the discussion boards before submitting. Sometimes, markdown mark-up plays strange tricks, so being able to get a post right before pressing the Submit button would be a nice feature. I a...

1) yes, by measuring the train ID of the 1st station to enable the second. 2) yes, hook lights to the signal for the block. Cool thank you! So i used the method to enable the second station but now there is a problem where, when the first train leave the second train goes the the first station. Whi...

A) make a circuit that counts the number of ticks for day and night. See wiki for exact numbers. How would you prime that thing? Can you get the current game.tick somehow? Sure, you can make a clock (a counter resetting itself after x ticks), but what if you build it in the middle of the day? Most ...

Just posted that on the FFF thread, then saw this one, which seems more appropriate. So here it goes again: At least on my laptop, I've an issue with the search function: Any text I input into the form is almost invisible because it's white on a very light background. The strange thing is, when I ma...

At least on my laptop, I've an issue with the mod portal. I really can't use the search function: Any text I input into the form is almost invisible because it's white on a very light background. The strange thing is, when I made a screenshot, the background turned into a gray tone, so the search te...

So in my mod I want to check if alien biomes is active: if game.active_mods["alien-biomes"] then This is run in control.lua a function that's called in on_init and on_load. When I load a world last saved in 0.18, everything is fine. But when I load a world last saved in 0.17, I get this error: Erro...

I think this is excellent use case for trigger-target-type and trigger_target_mask (https://forums.factorio.com/71657) I must have missed those before… So for 0.18.33 I added, attack_target_mask and ignore_target_mask to turret prototype. Excellent! I never thought this would be added so quick, so ...

I'd like to prevent that water turrets can attack certain entities. Currently, if an entity (character/unit-spawner/turret) or unit from an enemy force is in range of a water turret, this water turret will attack it. Let's say I don't want water turrets to attack spawners and worms. Currently, I lis...

Hi, Reika! I've got this crash on loading the game: 109.642 Mods to disable:Failed to load mods: Error while running setup for entity prototype "geothermal-heat-exchanger" (assembling-machine): Invalid fluid pipe connections: connections must all be at least 1 tile distance from each other. assembli...

In the description of the on_entity_damaged event, there is this: final_health :: float: The health of the entity after the damage was applied. I've been logging some data on entering the event script: 36505.401 Script @__WaterTurret__/control.lua:754: event.entity.health: 12.310014724731445 36505.4...

TLDR: Allow teleporting character entities to another surface iff teleporting entities comes with less overhead than generating new ones. Why? This would allow at least two mods to perform better. What? I've recently discussed with Earendel how AAI Programmable Vehicles and Autodrive work. Both mod...

Ah okay - screen shot that is.

If you only want to post an error message, just copy the text from factorio-current.log! That not only saves bandwidth and storing space, it also is more useful to modders because they can directly copy search-strings from your posting.

Not to mention that the bottleneck indicators are now made redundant by the built-in indicator on the new miner model.

I thought these new indicators were only in the new miners? So bottleneck would be redundant just for them, not for assemblers, furnaces, etc. Is that correct?

i've seen mods on github that changed their main folder name's number each version, effectively moving ALL their files to a folder of a different name, which seemed incredibly stupid*/screen-space-wasteful regarding any later version comparison. To me, it makes sense to let the folder inside the zi...

If only there was a way to marry capsule and selection tool … That would be something i could use for Autodrive.
