For Planets, Metal & Stars is pretty cool. I added more planets and just removed the ones I didn't care for.

I was playing daily for months without issues and I've been playing Factorio for many years. I suspect what happened was after the PC crash my blueprint file somehow got corrupt or reset and a basically empty file got synced with the cloud. I wrongly assumed blueprints are saved within the save file ...

Hey all, my PC crashed yesterday


Why did it crash? Why your files got corrupted? You sure your hardware is sound? When did you stress tested it the last time?
Check Windows' Event Viewer, System tab, for hardware errors, especially storage.

It probably just overheated. I cleaned out the ...

Thanks for that. Did it update as soon as you changed a blueprint or only after a save?

When did it save though? It didn't when I added a blueprint in-game. I tried that and refreshed File Explorer.

Here you go

It doesn't. That's why I made this post

My game blueprints is empty.

My blueprint file is in C:\Users\djqua\AppData\Roaming\Factorio. It was last updated about an hour ago, but I just added a new blueprint and the file hasn't updated nor did it after saving the game and exiting Factorio.

Attached. Thanks.

I don't care if it's backed up to the cloud or not. I just need to know what to back up and when so I can also do versioning.

Hey all, my PC crashed yesterday and I lost all my blueprints. There's only 1 in there and my blueprint-storage-2.dat is only a few KB. I also tried manually downloading an old save from Steam cloud but no luck. No idea how this happened but I'd obviously like to prevent this from happening again ...

I should have mentioned I only insert fuel when the temperature is under 500. Is fuel being wasted still an issue if there are multiple towers heating just a few things?

Do the heating towers consume fuel when they aren't needed? An extreme would be if I have 5 towers and the only thing being heated is a an assembler do the other 4 towers consume fuel?

The Space Map doesn't save the last view either and it's extremely annoying.

I'm new to Space Age and am loving it! So for rocket logistics, if a stack of a resource is requested, how does the fulfillment work?

I.E., if a stack of 100 belts was already requested/delivered and a singe 1 is placed on the platform, does it waste a launch delivering another singe belt or it ...

Just FYI, the Cybersyn Combinator link is broken

Something that produces a green signal based on https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/c4b2ag/space_exploration_cargo_locket_launching_station so multi-cargo rockets can be setup more easily. I have a blueprint with the CRF stuff on the right removed to make it more compact if anyone needs it ...

It takes all of 20 seconds to pick everything up.

I've decided to create a server. If anyone wants to join multiplayer let me know. Space Exploration, Factorissimo, QoL mods including Extended Vanilla, mining and transport drones, and more. New to space with only rocket and energy sciences researched. The server is up normally 10am-10pm EST. Add me ...
