Updated to Factorio 0.17.35 https://github.com/AyrA/BasicKit/releases/tag/v2.1.1 The mod was adapted to cope with the "player is now character" scripting API change. As usual you also find it in the ingame mod list under "BasicKit". You can use the "check for update" bu...

I have never been able to update Factorio since upgrading it to 0.17.2. The updater always says that there is a new version but it can't be downloaded automatically. It only says that after manually checking for updates. The automatic update run on startup is completely silenced. I started using the...

Updated to Factorio 0.17 https://github.com/AyrA/BasicKit/releases/tag/v2.0.0 Additionally, the "Keep Inventory" option is now checked by default. As usual you also find it in the ingame mod list under "BasicKit". You can use the "check for update" button if it was alre...

In a 3D-game however I assume that the requirements on a good terrain are much much higher and an automatic generator would probably fail badly. Having only one map will eventually cause them problems as well, mainly for replayability. Supporting custom maps may help. No Man's sky has a fairly dece...

I had a look at the satisfactory website and if there is one thing I am excited about, it's probably this: https://i.imgur.com/tZ4qAgG.png I doubt that the factorio devs will have to worry too much about this game. Simply because it's 3D I assume you will never be able to push the bounds as far as p...

TL;DR Parts of the electric network should be able to enter an "overload" condition that eventually damages it or shuts it down if not taken care of for too long. Idea The power grid should have some sort of limits, similar to real power grids. At the moment there is none and you can lite...

The latest version no longer has this issue. It's not yet in the mods section but the latest commit on github now offers an option to not clear the inventory

Using the command line to generate a map preview crashes for some seeds. If it does for a certain set of input parameters, it's consistent though. Example Seed that worked: 2016342275 Example Seed that didn't work: 1399059873 Command Line: factorio.exe --map-gen-settings C:\temp\settings.json --gene...

When you remove the power pole in the picture "faulty_pole.png" in the current 0.16 release, the game crashes. This doesn't happen if the pole is placed further to the left and did not connect with the pole to its right in the first place.

Guys, this problem was solved already by the world of bit torrenters. [...] In short, the bug is not factorio's. It is a bug in the router [...] We solved this issue pages ago and came to the conclusion, that adding a simple counter is better than telling the user their equipment is shit. People wi...

Updated for Factorio v 0.15.X: https://github.com/AyrA/BasicKit/releases/tag/v0.0.7

*double sigh* Traceroute uses ICMP protocol, not UDP Traceroute works by setting the TTL too small on purpose and gradually increasing it. This works with any packet type that uses IPv4 or IPv6. We just use ICMP because it is convenient but there is no need to do so. In fact if the target system do...

[...]. So that the checksum does not hit 0x0000 / 0xFFFF. Checksum 0x0000 is special because it could also indicate, that the checksum has been offloaded by the network card. If this mismatches the setting of your network card, the card might drop the packet even before wireshark or another sniffer...

Using any of these lines in the data-final-fixes.lua file will crash your game: error() --Crash instantly data.raw.player.player.crafting_categories = data.raw["recipe-category"] --Crash when opening inventory data.raw.player.player.crafting_categories = {""} --Crash when opening...

The mod has been updated to fix the multiplayer issue.

I have opened a bug report (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28540&p=180884#p180884). Let's see how it turns out, because in 0.12 it was working fine and I have not changed the event handler since the update.

Problem The Event defines.events.on_player_created is not fired for some players in multiplayer. Source DarkSlayerEX has first noticed this: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=17547&p=180881#p179805 Notes The event is always called for the host player but only rarely for joini...
