Ha! Just like lighting up a cigarette while waiting for a bus running late; While writing this post, the game downloaded! So with all Steam downloading options set to the most aggressive settings... this time latency, for me was about 40 minutes. LOL. Obviously my friends and I have a problem. We wi...

This may be normal latency, but Steam does not seem to have version 18.12 yet. It has been > 30 mins. I and my friends are playing multiplayer on a server that auto-downloads the most recent version. So our server is already updated while we are still on 18.11 clients. We could download the most rec...

Multiple failures to launch with 0.17.11 $ cat factorio-current.log 0.000 2019-03-12 22:48:37; Factorio 0.17.11 (build 43576, mac, alpha) 0.000 Operating system: macOS 10.14.1 0.000 Program arguments: "/Applications/factorio.app/Contents/MacOS/factorio" 0.000 Read data path: /Applications/...

I was unable to launch 0.17.8 except for the one time. Trying 0.17.11

The forth attempt to launch 0.17.8 worked... I launched it from spotlight.

The behavior has gotten worse. All runs fail after the install of 0.17.8. The behavior is idential to what was previously reported for the first run after install. I have tried 3 times in a row. Will try a reboot; failing that I will try a fallback to 0.17.4 and see if there is a change from that. E...

Got It! The blueprint scroll feature works differently. It should rotate through blueprints I have put in my inventory. It feels like we should expect that book put in the inventory would work. It does not seem to. Also If I have a collection of loose blueprints in my inventory I do not see scrollin...

I have only tested this in 17.4 Reproduction: Needed: Populate blueprint library with a book with multiple blueprints. 1. Open Blueprint library and select the book with a click to pick it up. 2. Close the Blueprint Library to reveal the first blueprint ready to place on the map in the cursor. 3. Ho...

Definitely feels clunky and makes it a little harder to focus and find your blueprint or book quickly with a scan.

Behavior still extant on 17.4 and identical: Must open app from finder on first download for security. When you do, the slpash screen opens and get to 94% then the system locks up. Factorio goes to not responding in the Activity Monitor and eventually the crash report window comes up. A second attem...

I am having trouble playing the game after initial download on Mac. Download the dmg and open it. I drag factorio over to apps and keep only the new one. Nav to Applications with finder, Right click on Factorio and choose Open. Accept run app downloaded from internet. At this time the splash comes u...
