At the moment I have a series of point to point ships moving science to Gleba (just a stop gap until I get round to unlocking biolabs and then revert back). Sometimes also do planet specific stuff too (tungsten)

Also a milk run ship that visits everywhere

I did try a "hub and spoke" design (ship ...

Not sure what that has to do with using Steam as a game management platform - Can you elaborate?


The steam discussion is an off topic actually , that span off someone posting them related to the fact that some players said "gleba killed the game for them".

Why were you asking me a ...

That's incorrect - I have 268 games in my Steam library.

In the last three months I have played two games - one a puzzle game which is ~5 mins a day (but not played it for a couple of weeks) and Factorio.

Since start of 2024 I have played seven games - mostly puzzle games (minutes per day ...

And you continue to make my point: You only use a "game management system" if you're playing a whole lot of games.

That's incorrect - I have 268 games in my Steam library.

Space platforms take a lot of time to master, are you going to complain about them, too?


Master - yes. But you can get a "good enough" Space platform really easily due to good game progression: you need a space platform to get space science so you have to first build one in the safest space ...

You don't need to constantly have the freshest goods to adequately manage spoilage.


Yes - I know. I have, for want of a better term, beaten Gleba. That wasn't the point.

The beauty of Factorio is that it provides a rich palette of tools that allow you to create pleasing and elegant things. I ...

My thoughts on Gleba

It is tedious.

Oh - more? OK

There are three problems - rocks, movement, and spoilage.

Rocks first - it is a rocky planet! Not having a sensible rock resources just makes a boring bottleneck (yeah - import it from other planets is the trivial and rather dull solution ...

Thanks for the quick response - they claim to be OK

ETA: The game works when I do disable the Space Age mod (and all others except three)

Further ETA: To check the three other mods I went in to the game and it is now working after not finding problems on verification.

A slightly odd effect. I had Map Dragged disabled (because of the previous problem dropping) and found this:

If you have Map Drag disabled and drop a power pole in map view you open the Power Panel (and same idea with trains and adding a wagon - you open the train panel)

If you have Map Drag ...

I've seen/have the mouse /map problem.

The issue seems compound
1 if you have an item picked it doesn't drop if you don't move the cursor
2 if you move the cursor it randomly drops it round the cursor - the faster you drag the cursor the wide the places the item is dropped.
3 if you disable drag ...

I released a small update, see if that makes any difference.

Thanks for that - it works perfectly now. Awesome.

Ah, right, best wait until angel updates his mod, he's working on it. I'm not sure why it's crashing, but I do have an idea of something that might fix it.

No worries - I thought I'd let you know ASAP as it was about 2hrs old when I downloaded it.

Your mods are much appreciated BTW - really ...

Well, I tested it before release, and again just now. I'm not getting any odd errors like that.

I'm going to need more than just the error message on this one.

Either way, list your mods and I'll look into it.

I've had a play with the Mods and I can reproduce it with just these enabled ...
