The problem with quality effects is the same as dyson sphere programs proliferator mechanic; it forces seperation between machines, which leads to every setup being basically the same one-step-at-a-time production. More complex mechanics but simple, uniform solution. It destroys every non-standard f...

btw.. I'm 100% sure this would catch CLASSIC RTS gamers in ALL age and wastly increase player numbers.. (and your income as well) RTS is dead and no-one plays it. Why try to attract " CLASSIC RTS gamers in ALL age " when that population is tiny? We're absolutely not, everyone stopped maki...

The problem is, you think too deep into the optimal solution of your problem. This is definitely true for vanilla unless you count sorting setup, which also is not as useful as with mods. After talking to KnightElite it also seems there is a somewhat reasonable solution using waypoint stations; exa...

Trying to run multiple trains with different cargos and routes through the same station is a huge pain. Currently doing stuff like this: https://i.ibb.co/1G6GrJZ/image.png Which works ok as long as you aren't doing stations with 4 or more trains and the trains are 3+ locomotives in front, but neithe...

Just wanted to add that assigning trains to routes and not the other way solves a few other problems: if the train is attacked and destroyed the route is currently lost. If you want to change a route you need to hunt down all the trains (Not usually too hard since they're listed in the same stations...

Would like to play a game where construction like assemblers, miners and refineries have greatly increased costs. Tired of science taking 99% of your resources while resource generation is laughably cheap.

Is there anything available for this?

Thanks a lot, its working now

Thanks deadlock, is there by any chance a smarter way of doing this than editing data.raw?

Didnt want to start a new topic but just realized the recipe is not compatible with productivity modules, how do i enable that?

data.lua is empty, this could easily be the problem but from what i read its just for dependencies No, data.lua, data-updates.lua and data-final-fixes.lua are automatically run by Factorio. Anything you put in a subfolder isn't automatically run. If you have any other Lua files you want executed in...

Trying to add a second recipe for electronic circuits that uses plastic instead of iron, but can't get it to work. I'm a modding n00b so its entirely possible i just messed up something simple, like directory structure, although the mod is available in the mod list and does not produce errors when l...

Steam it is, thanks for the quick reply <3

+1 for Demo!

Also, does claiming your key mean steam takes a cut? I wouldn't mind the convenience of having factorio via steam since it makes it easy to keep track of on PC and laptop, but not if it means dev loses money.

I've been taking a break for a while and just got back for the new update, but my old factory is running very poorly at 14-16fps with the F5 overlay I've been out of the game for along time now, but i'm pretty sure it used to run at ~35 fps before 0.11, so maybe it's time for some optimization? Keep...

Have you tried making blueprints with landmines?

Sooo at what tech level can we expect to get tanks? Are we going to kite with them or can they stand up to biter waves? Are they customizable like power armor?

They're beautiful I want all of them

Sorry for the late reply, i'll get on it now, just need a minute to get the trains clumped up, will edit when done

EDIT: savelink https://www.mediafire.com/?1p8n2k81ahscisi
Just unpause the train directly below the player to get it running again

Well, that solves the why i guess :shock: Is the setup unusual? I always use this type of rail network same as TTD, i have a lot of trains running around mostly for fun, and making individual paths for everything is a chore, especially when theres a lot of overlap. If the two trains are converging o...

Press escape -> click restart
