No.. I was implying that it should be: /c game.player s [1].color={g=50,b=200,r=200,a=.9} Edit: Now that I think about it, if it's single player you don't need the [1] in there. So it'd be just: I play single player, I tried changing my colour and it only worked when I put in the [1] :shock: Either...

Thank you very much, daniel :) Being able to scroll out further should help some. I'd still like to have a pre-blueprint, though, because: If it starts placing without me knowing what the obstruction is, then it just might be an "obstruction" I do not want to tear down (e.g. part of my pro...

The idea to combine notes and timers is very good. It would make a time feature "complete". Some kind of schedule. Could be very helpful for people, which want to make a speedrun. Or to remember to taking the laundry out of the washing machine. :) On the other hand: I have only the proble...

@ssilk: I agree that it would be best if you were stopped from even placing something wrong. But wouldn't that mean you'd have to build in a fixed order: 1. tracks 2. stops 3. signals Yes and no. A check can only happen, when you connect the railway-elements together by tracks. Before that, no chec...

What I did: I blueprinted a part of my rail-system that is bigger than the part of the map you can see, even on maximum scroll-out. I then wanted to use it but it wouldn't "stick" to the place I assigned it to be built. Of course, I knew that there was an obstruction and that was the reaso...

This is my weekly "Am I blind or what?" question: Does the game have a coordinate system? I know about the grid (which isn't at all what I mean) and I have found the f5 etc. function keys. But that's not what I want. It could help you to know the exact distance between places which in turn...

@ssilk: I agree that it would be best if you were stopped from even placing something wrong. But wouldn't that mean you'd have to build in a fixed order: 1. tracks 2. stops 3. signals Admittedly, that is how I do it now anyway (as it is easier on my brain). And couldn't you still end up with situati...

I guess you COULD play Factorio without planning ahead :shock: I don't. So, it is a pretty normal experience that I will do something while at the same time having some sort of (of course "evil") masterplan in my mind. A plan I might add, that hinges on me actually remembering it and doing...

... On reflection as far as signal problems are concerned I would say we are just as likely to refactor the whole signal set up to sort out the situation as make minor adjustments making detailed pin-pointing of signal errors potentially superfluous. Just knowing for sure it is a signal problem wou...

Research: If you do not want to repeat the research-cycle every time you start a new game you can also go sandbox. Fun: What keeps me interested and playing is that there is to me no fixed end-game I want to reach. Researching the technology to its fullest is just a station on my loooooooooooooong w...

... Anyway, welcome to the Factorio Addiction Support Foru... Ahem.. Factorio forums! We support each other in keeping up the addiction? :D I must admit that I tend to be serially monogamous when it comes to games, i.e. I find something I like, I play it pretty much exclusively for a while, I final...

This is a list of things you can produce (factorio version 0.11.22 w/o mods and with peace mod advanced), except for raw materials i.e. ores, water, crude oil, raw wood and alien artifacts for normal mode. I have ordered things according to how many steps ("tiers") are needed to fabricate ...

you can put a "Train stop" next to you tank or some think to come back for.

Great idea! I'll do just that (and stop littering the landscape with tanks ...). Now, to come up with good names: Red Slippers? Tomato-Wiper?

I assume you mean this peace mod ? I've looked at it myself, but i feel like it goes a bit too far. That's the one :) As for going too far, that again is a question of how you want to play. Sure, the original game forces you to balance your gameplay, even putting you under a certain amount of press...

I don't like the car. It's useless within my bases (too crowded for driving at any speed) and useless outside as soon as you run into a forrest (which I always do sooner or later). Nor do I use burner inserters as I prefer an emergency-only boiler/steam engine set-up. My favourite ingame items are c...

... I, for one, also would like for the focus of the game to not be forgotten. This isn't "Alien Shooting Game 2102", or "Tower Defence Game 1762". This is Factorio, Listen to that name. Taste it. FACT-TO-RI-O. ... Absolutely true for me, too. I stumbled across factorio via wort...

Okay, thank you aka13. I hadn't come to the point where I thought I needed radar. I have so far played with the settings on no initial attack by aliens: Build a base, maybe go out and take out aliens sitting where I want to go, then build walls to keep them out. Rinse and repeat as needed. Again, th...

One thing I'm missing is vehicle icon on minimap. Would make it easier to find that car you parked somewhere.. around (happens to often for me). Would also help with certain train problems (aka walking around and train comes and.. ouch). I'd second that :) But then the question is, how much info sh...

Vehicles appear on the map as a triangle (red with a blue border, if I recall correctly). It is hard to see in farther zooms, though, and I personally think it should be made a bit bigger... Thanks for answering what must seem a stupid question to you. But that icon disappeared once I was far enoug...
