Is it possible to buy the game by directly sending money to Wube? I'm talking about wire transfer, where you enter an IBAN and directly send it from your bank account to Wube's bank account without having to suffer transaction efficency loss to payment processors. All I could see on the factorio.com...

Would it be possible to have a QoL mod helping with spacing rail signals akin to openttds ctrl+drag functionality? Also important would be the ability to remove singals along a segment. Idea Train lenght (T): number of tracks occupied by the train. 2-4 Train would be 21, 6 for the locs, 12 for the w...

If you want to manually "fix" (aka break) bioprocessing, I wrote a little script which helps finding recipes with duplicate results. The editor I use for Lua Files, ZeroBrane comes with a console. To find the approximate line numbers of duplicates, have the offending recipe file open and p...

The issue is because of an added restriction on .25, in .26 this restriction will be dropped again: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=67857#p420038 Basically 17.25 does not allow multiple "same" items per recipe, some gardening recipes have it (you get 1 garden for sure ...

If one builds or buys a PC for Factorio to run megabases, how would the specs be weighted? CPU - frequency - cores - threads - branch predicting / speculative execution (I'd build a Kernel with spectre mitigations turned off) CPU caches - latencies - frequencies - sizes - associativies Main memory -...

Still no word on 0.17? It would be great to see a roadmap, even if inaccurate. It looks very much like 0.17 will be release candidate, any confirmation on this? Can I plan to play 0.17 on my xmas holidays? I love this game, but in early access I still expect to see a roadmap. +1 I personally care m...

I hope 0.17 won't come too soon so we can read another performance themed post about the introduction of grade separation for rails so networks can be separated and its pathfinder potentially moved to another CPU core.

Guess Mumble is better suited for Factorio since it's quite light on CPU usage since it doesn't need to run a browser (electron) in order to work. In the other hand, for Mumble isn't backed by a big hype company, it's less likely to change its api so the developers miss out on the great opportunity ...

200 years ago, people had to travel by foot or in beast-driven carts because the didn't yet research neither cars nor planes. For people back then, it was an appropriate way to move. While today, using cars and planes suits us better. So if somebody who is posting his megabase says that bots are gre...

I'd like to get the attached rail track entity from a rail signal entity and vice versa. The goal is to have a mod helping to place signals in specific intervals (so a i.e. 6 long train fits exactly in between two signals) What I have in mind is something similar to the "ctrl + drag"-placi...

Try to run the old version through valgrind, I managed to get a 0.16.0 game running through it, although it was horribly slow:)


~ valgrind ./$FACTORIOBINDIR/factorio

I just ran 0.16.0 through valgrind on debian stable. I didn't try starting an actual game but just exited after it fully loaded. Here is the output: ==13136== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==13136== Copyright (C) 2002-2015, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==13136== Using Valgrind-3.12.0.S...

Is it possible to have hauling trains (locomotives included) being moved by shunter engines? Like saving/restoring the schedule/id of the hauler vial signals?

I once saw a mod which disabled/enabled the hitbox on special track tiles but I think that doesn't play nice with the pathfinder. An Implementation of underground rails would be the OpenTTD way where trains teleport from one portal to the other, therefore no signals or junctions are possible on unde...

Hello Not sure if this belongs to this section since it's rather about console objects then the actual gameplay. I'm playing angels/bobs and the vast amount of recipes just overwhelms me. Therefore I made a graph of the recipes and items using the Json Exctractor mod and graphviz. It turns out the ....

Thanks for the quick reply and the helmod suggestion.

Guess it's time for me to draw a graph by hand so I can figure out the logistics.

I hope with 0.15 not everything gets changed:)

I did try it out and was first struggling: Tried to convert it to python3 since it's something new, so no reason to use python2. The 2to3.py converter worked fine but I had problems with the Lupa dependency. It turned out that my Lupa lib used luajit which by default targets lua 5.1 but factorio-too...

Hello everyone. I grabbed one of the AnglesBobs modpacks and quite enjoy the game experience. At the moment, I'm as usual struggling with the ratios. Is there an overview of the production chains (an SVG mby:)? I'm especially interested in figuring out alternative paths, like ores from slag or petro...
