So my problem is, I want to play with two of my friends with factorio, they are on the same LAN network, but I am not, when one of them and I connect it works fine, but as soon as the third tries to join, the person who was on the same LAN as the third "stops responding" and is dropped fro...

The problem was I had GLIBC_2.13, this post helped me update to 2.19 though.

So, I'm trying to run 0.12 from a Turnkey Linux Distro as a server using the '--start-server' option, but when I try to run it, I get these errors: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.15' not found /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.15' not found However, those files do exis...

In the item properties, I never quite understood what order meant or how it worked. More specifically, what to put for the order. I mean, a-b-c doesn't mean anything to me. Please explain.

On the lua/Game page the load function is defined as this:

load
Parameters:
path Types/string, where to save the game within the scenario directory
added 0.8.0

If I am not wrong, shouldn't it be,

path Types/string, location of the save file within the scenario directory

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Making entity.operable = false would be a great solution, if only I could call it when a recipe was set. I went through the list of events: https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/index.php?title=Lua/Events but none of them seem appropriate. I wonder if its possible th...

It's not currently possible to make belts use power through the prototype - the belt entity doesn't support it. Yeah, I thought so. Thanks anyway for confirming. You could possibly do it through scripting but it wouldn't be efficient by any means. Just for me to learn - how would I do that? You cou...

I thought so too. Sadly no, I already tried that.

I'm sorry, maybe I am not understanding correctly, do the poles connect to the belts with that code and they just don't stop when you remove power or do they not connect alltogether?

Hi! I'm trying to create a custom transport belt entity that will draw power from the grid. But I've had no luck so far with getting the belt to connect to the grid. Can anybody advise? Possibly something like this in the entity code, not tested though so I can't say for certain: energy_source = { ...

You want to change a recipe midgame? I'm not sure that's possible. You could however have two(or more) recipes, and just switch between them whenever whatever you have happening, happens. Yeah, I thought that might be the case, I saw that you can get the recipes from game.player.force.recipes, but ...

So, I need to modify a recipe while the game is running, so I am wondering if this is even possible atm?

So, I've been looking all over the wiki trying to figure out how to get the active player's viewport (for reference for placing GUI elements) and can't find anything. Does anyone know how to do this? Or if its even possible with the current modding interface? EDIT: More accurately, I'm looking for a...

Basically what this mod allows you to do is have inserters working at right angles. I got really annoyed at not being able to do it and so made a mod for it. Enjoy

Probably not the most efficient, but pretty good.
