My wife just told me "Factorio, that's been a special part of our marriage. It's helped me get to sleep for years."
Thank you guys for keeping me married over these years.

God, one day I would love to see mixed ore patches.

Hey, I run an AU server and caught a dude red handed flame throwing and deconstructing the base.

He has 220+ hours on factorio so I don't want to just name and shame.... but it's a shame if he keeps doing this to unsuspecting maps. It was fortunate that I caught him in the act and banned him when ...

I love you all I must have had a dodgy json file.
I copied and pasted line by line into a new file and bingo! she works.

Probably the text editor I was using (wordpad) in 2012. Should have used Notepad.

Hey smart people, this is giving me bum aids

I thought I was a smart enough person, but no, no I'm not...

I know it's something to do with my server settings json file, as though it can't read the file. I have tried a myriad of directory combinations, file names, placed the file in all sorts of ...

I'm sure it is.
And to know that you have shaped the game by being so active in the community; more so in the early days than now.
At least you can rest knowing the game is at a stage that it doesn't 'need' as much community support as it once did. It now needs a good community to become a ...

lol. too late.

who makes you an admin!
Is there ever such a thing as too active on the forums?

lol, I was a DB admin about 10 years ago. Requestor is still in my vocabulary rather than requester.

Thanks, I'll give the mod a whirl and see if it comes along one day

Yeah, I have done that a couple of times, but didn't want to split the networks if I didn't have to. I have used this for specific tasks in my main base that only supply a particular product.
I don't like it because I haven't got one authoritive source of supply information (it's just something ...

Hey All

Sorry for another stupid question, but I can't find the answer :(

How do people distribute from a central supply out to the frontlines?
ie: how do you distribute into the logistics network rail, repair, walls, turrets, power?

by the time my robots fly from central or my mini bases, the ...

Hey, I'm sorry in advance ssilk because you can find posts faster than I can :)

Can tanks + cars be setup to be requestor chests?
They need fuel by default, they should have ammo, and they have a trunk the size of my leg.
I find it 'painful' to have to restock these when I have my Atreides ...

Sorry guys, I just could not find a post like it...

I did mean 'floor tiles' in particular, rather than conveyors, etc. But I'll make sure I do some more googling before I post another stupid suggest (like I'm about to do with tanks + requestor chests.

Sorry, I know it's been discussed, but can we get floor tiles to cover water? Yes, it's a bridge...
And yes, I want to build on it... at least conveyors.

Maybe just timber pontoons.

We all have to admit though, we have all wanted a smart splitter, if not for filtering reasons, for reducing the amount of items (ie 1:16) down a particular line.

Yes, we can achieve this with smart inserters and/or back to back multiple splitters, but the joy of Factorio is to research better tech ...

Oh Yeah! I'm Excited!!! Signals are my time killer and where I spend most of my time automating.

I am still desperate for more logic in my train and conveyor network. Perhaps splitter logic for is the next piece of conveyor full, one a day for a period of time (coal or burner material), or timed ...

Great idea.

I received an interesting message today....

P2P Group 3DM has released a new pc game called “Factorio”.
Release Name: Factorio.v0.91.Crack-3DM

Congrats! You guys have officially achieved scene status. *EDIT* well, P2P status :) but soon to be scene status.... :) To be honest, not sure what was ...

(I hate getting answers like this, but)
as much as I would also love this, it can be mostly achieved by using smart chests/inserter.


What are you trying to achieve?

ok, I'll take your word for it
