I just discovered that if I enable the "Fuzzy search" Interface option, the search will now search all crafting categories.

Currently, when you use the search tool in the Crafting list to search for a crafting skill, it only searches the currently displayed Crafting category (Logistics, Production, etc.), Please consider adding an option where the user can specify that searches should search all available skills, no matt...

OK, I figured it out...

The Pipette tool (Q key) takes whatever object the pointer is over and puts it into your hand.

I have seen Factorio gameplay videos where they appear to be able to copy & paste objects, such as an inserter. They already have one inserter placed. They appear to drag a new inserter from the already placed one then place the new one. They did not have an inserter in their quick bar and they ...

Middle mouse button, like the train wagon filters.

Thanks for the info!

I am just starting out with Factorio, so I have not dealt with train wagons yet.

I understand how to set up the Hotbar, but how do I clear/empty a hotbar spot?

I have already uninstalled everything and reinstalled through Steam.

Since the error message is just a nuisance, I can put up wilt it till it gets fixed.

Uh oh. Sounds like the standalone path config file got included in the Steam download for some reason.

No, I installed the standalone download in place of the Steam download, because the Steam download was giving me the error message I noted at the start of this thread.

I believe you're supposed to use the machines in the world to craft the science packs.

You were correct.

I hit ALT and one of the machines was set up to manufacture the science pack.

Thanks for the tip!

I am stuck in the new tutorial. They want me to research Basic Electronics, which requires 10 Automation Science Packs (Red). Unfortunately, I have no Sciencs Packs and I can not build any myself. It is listed in the crafting menu, but it is tinted red and when I click on it I get a messages saying ...

That's strange. Save files are stored in a completely different directory.

That's because, for some reason, the saves are now in the Steam steamapps\common\factorio\saves folder.

Go figure.....

I though it had been fixed in 0.17.12, but I was mistaken. So... I downloaded the beta release, cleared out the steamapps\common\factorion folder and copied in the new release. The problem has gone away (but I lost my save files). However, this indicates that you really can't use Steam to install th...

I am running on Windows 10 with Steam. I uninstalled the game, via Steam, and verified that the factorio directory was no longer there. I then reinstalled, via Steam. I still get the same message when saving. It is not limited to the Tutorial campaign. I get the same message when saving a regular ga...

I am running 0.17.11. I just upgraded from the current production release. I am playing the Introduction campaign and when I try to save my game, I get the following error message: Notice: File __base__/campaigns/demo/description.json not found (The system could not find the path specified). I can t...

I am running the Tutorial Scenerio on 0.17.11

When I try to save my progress, I get the following error message:
