What's your friend's connection like? Since he has no lag he seems to run the game locally and you are connecting to his instance of the game. So when his connection is bad (or his whole family is watching Netflix) it doesn't matter anymore how good your own connection is. It's his upstream that mig...

While playtesting recently, I was irritated at having to build fuelling at every train stop, But i didn't want every train to go to a refuel all the time, when it might not need fuel, And even worse, with the train limits it could go to refuel, and then be stuck there waiting for the destination to...

A barrel of water is a simple item.
The fact that it contains 50 units of water is not a property of the item but a property of the recipies to fill and empty the barrel.

So to change the amount fluid within a barrel you would need to modify the recipies.

I had some trouble with this new feature but I could solve it with some complicated combinator logic. However I did have a special use-case in which I was trying to prevent a full train waiting at a stacker while another dropoff location was in need of resources. Therefore I wanted to only request a...

So just to get that straight... You're saying a train can enter a block that it has reserved itself? So that would mean that if Block 2 in the example would be accessible to the train by a long right-turn it would be possible for the train (provided it is long enough) to bite it's own tail? To me it...

Well..the green and red output ARE separated actually.

But by connecting the red wire you ADD the red output to everything else that is on the red wire.

Hi, When shift-rightclicking a stack of items to fill it into a consuming entity the game crashes. Map is a freshly created map. 0.000 2016-06-28 20:48:41; Factorio 0.13.0 (Build 22782, win64, alpha) 0.001 Operating system: Windows 10 0.001 Program arguments: "C:\Program Files\Factorio\bin\x64\...

I would advise against such redundancy onto fine levels. I would make a long-range network along the rails and put the redundancy there (loops, etc.). From that network I would split the outposts and sub-factories each by exactly one and only one connection. By that you get the option to switch off ...

Well...what about configuring the forum to automatically hide (not delete) posts and revoke "create post"-permission for new users whose posts got reported multiple times. Afterwards a Mod needs to manually approve that account. That might be the best of both worlds if mods in other timezo...

Just asking because in the recent weeks the facts were posted rather early in GMT+1

Were they forgotten or are they still being worked on?

I cannot talk for the developers but from a technical point of view I doubt that cloud-sync for saves is possible at all.
We're talking of savegame sizes of about 30-50 MB in small to medium bases.

I'm not sure if steam allows such an amount of data in their cloud.

Rust has an interesting concept actually (however I'm not talking from personal experience, just reiterating something a collegue told me). You could have Area-Claim-Chests which disallow all manipulation in an area except for players that personally authenticated to the physical chest. Meaning you ...

@slpwnd: I can live with the wallpapers and scenarios being available to everyone now (bought Furnace Attendand tier). It's not that something I paid for is going to be scrapped. However for future games I will definately not buy any higher tier than the most basic one because of that. Furthermore e...

Sounds all nice, however I feel a bit cheated by the way the "furnace attendant" gets treated.

I bought that package BECAUSE of the exclusive content (scenario packs mainly) just to learn that with 5 bucks less I could have gotten the very same. Just doesn't feel right to me.

Actually what I'm also quite interested in is this:

(like is there a train in the station)

Been looking for something to detect that for a long time

Sounds like an interesting change with valid motivations; too bad it's attracting the all-too-common response of "it sounds less convenient than what I'm used to, therefore it will suck". The complaints are rather "If it works how it appears to work I'll be required to refactor all m...

I also hope you can connect 1 writer to many things.) That's what got me concerned...On the reader side it is supposed to actually be like that. That's why they wrote lamps would stay as they are so that you don't have to put a reader to each lamp. So that would imply that for the writer you'd also...
