Check that your memory is actually running at 3600. Motherboards often default ram to a lower speed for stability and you have to enable the performance mode.

Factorio is very sensitive to memory bandwidth.

Hi I have been experimenting with spawning grenades on either side using commands. I noticed that grenades spawned with surface.create_entity dont do any damage to me. After some testing I realised that this was because I was wearing power armour and the grenades were behaving as if there had been n...

Hi thanks for the tip. I have been trying at first i thought the command you gave me didnt work but after some experimentation I discovered that items created with surface.create_entity seem to ignore the damage modifier. Since you have answered my question I will open a new issue for that. Thank yo...

I noticed there is a command to change some of the force variables such as crafting speed. /c game.player.force.manual_crafting_speed_modifier=1000 Is there a command to change the grenade damage, I cant seem to find it. An extension of this can these apply to the enemy force too, although I know th...

So if a mod adds a variable in control.lua is it possible to change that variable from another mod.

I'm trying to add a variant of the life suppot item from space exploration. I've come up with a weird issue and I noticed several things were not what I had set them to. 1. The technology required material science despite not being set. 2. Material science was a prerequesit despite not being set. 3....

When running a lua script with /c is there a way to run other commands withing the script. My intention is to run a command from a mod but I guess the question applies to running any commands inside a /c lua script Lets say this command for example /muppet_streamer_schedule_explosive_delivery {"...

of course. I see it now you mention it.

Thanks for your help. I'm going for coffee. Have a greatr day bud

Well thats one of those errors we all hate being pointed out, I have been staring at the code here and playing with filenames for longer than I would like to admit but didnt see the space. I need to go get antother coffee Thankl you Boskid A little further info though because theres still some weird...

Bringing this here because Factorio is failing to find a file that is there and its behaving strangely. I am decided to try out the Equipment Gantry mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/equipment-gantry The thing is I cant even run it. It complains a file is missing ("__equipment-gantry__/graphics...

I connect to several servers via direct connect that are not publically listed.

Bookmarks on the direct connect tab would be very useful.

I've been playing with Factorios commands. Currently I am trying to spawn a large number of rocks with lua. The rocks spawn in a rectangulare grid centerd around the player. Wherever a rock spawns the closest player object withing a 5 radius is damaged, possibly destroyed. The problem comes that if ...

I am refering to the fact that the issue above occurs on headless servers only, it does not occur on player hosted games.

OK how about you set headless servers to use the same mechanism that player hosted games does.

Right I've been doing some analysis of what packets are sent and wow! Factorio sent 735,713 packets just to download the map. I have changed some of the settings on some of the games I own to try and increase network traffic and I have not managed to get any other game to 1000. 56.68% of the packets...

This is a bug.

Restricting max upload speed takes 30 min to get into a game right now.

Plus you cant restrict it to that on every server, your solution does not allow me to play on servers I don't host myself

That is not a solution.

Hi guys. I have found the culprit. It is the UDP flood defence on the router. Disabling flood defence allows download of the map. I tried increasing the limit but I had to put it to 4500p/s in order to not trigger the flood defence. I have tried a couple of servers and get into them just fine with u...

Some additional info to add to this. When the connection drops I cannot connect to the server again for 60 seconds. Connections to the server are blocked. After 60 seconds I can connect again. We have been doing these tests with the server firewall disabled. Connecting to a player hosted game does w...

Are you on wifi or ethernet, can you do aa speedtest.

Can you do a ping to your router and to a reliable website like google.
Post the results.

Seems your network may be unreliable. Could be local, could be time to call the isp.

I cannot play a game on a headless server whenever the map exceeds 2MB, roughly. The map starts to download and gets to just under 2Mb and then stops. The amount vaires a little but typically 1.8 M. It then drops me from the game. I have tested this on a wide variety of servers. M45A M45C M45D M45G ...
