The (BobAngels-modded) dedicated server now segfaults on startup. No backtrace printed.

The purpose of this is to make Factorio possible to install on NixOS. It has to be automated; the package builder (by design) doesn't allow interactive actions, and the license obviously doesn't allow redistribution. Previously we've been able to get away with a login script using curl, but that fal...

In short, I have a game we've been working on for a few weeks, approaching megabase proportions, but where the practical UPS limit has recently dropped to ~30 in multiplayer while the same save runs at 70 UPS if loaded in singleplayer. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I don't recall it bein...

We've been playing a multiplayer game for a few weeks, with regular (and increasing) frequency of desyncs. At all times, it seems it's the laggiest player that desyncs. Restarting the server sometimes helps for a while, but often not. Sometimes we go hours without a desync; sometimes we get five in ...

Hi, We're two weeks into a game combining Rampant, Nauvis Day and Endgame Combat, and by now the biters seem to have maxed out. We're still in early-midgame -- no logistics system, just player delivery and construction bots -- but evolution is sitting around 95-97% and all I ever see are the highest...

This is broken in 0.16.24 thanks to the fluix box check.

For example, the Yuoki Railways' modern street lamp. This has a lighting radius larger than the maximum zoom-out distance. If I walk away from it, especially if not zoomed fully out, the lamp will apparently be culled (?) from rendering while the visible area still should be lit by it, causing the t...

You can easily do this using a circuit and merging lanes, set to allow the low-priority fuel through only if there's nothing else on the belt.

As of 0.16, you can also do this with a splitter at to input prioritization mode.

Which you can best do using memtest86+.

Run it overnight, see if it finds anything.

I can confirm, the same thing expectedly happens on NixOS with steam-run. ➜ factorio steam-run ~/factorio/bin/x64/factorio ~/factorio /home/svein/factorio/bin/x64/factorio: /steamrt/amd64/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0: no version information available (required by /home/svein/factorio/bin/x64/factorio) /home/...

Is there any difference between an infinite sphere and an infinite plane?

Do the desyncs go away if you remove the Axial Tilt mod? local day_length, day_end, night_start, night_end, day_start, night_length I Didn't follow them through to see if they are being used correctly but doing stuff like that can sometimes be a no-no Though he didn't answer, I'm pretty sure it wou...

And you didn't program eternal charging on purpose.

Don't be silly; this was a bug, by all accepted definitions of the term except entomological. "Working as designed", perhaps, but still a bug.

Well, yeah. This bug should still be open. If I were to make a suggestion, the devs should: - Add that key to the application manifest, so we don't need to. - Rescale the UI to fit the display's actual DPI, without users needing to drag the handle. Scaling already works fine, you just need to do it ...

The specific case I'm thinking of is a dedicated server, where the server may be up long before anyone logs on. If someone does log on (or for single-player)... I guess the ideal UI would be a progress bar, with the game otherwise frozen? I don't think it'd make much of a difference, though. And I'd...

Disabling the compositor doesn't fix the second problem, though: Namely, resizing the window makes Factorio lag out and sometimes (appear to) freeze. That is, specifically dragging the side of the window to resize it. Using any of xfce's snapping features, or maximize/windowed fullscreen, it resizes...

That's what I figured. It's a pity; it'd be a really useful feature. Actually... Before I dive into writing a dynmap -like mod (using an external server), do you know if it's possible for mods to write arbitrary binary data to <some file>? It's fine if that's limited to a single directory, or even a...

When updating to the latest version on a multiplayer server, I got desyncs every single tick while Rampant was reindexing. Things started working again once it was done. That's with a pretty heavily modded game, mind you. Pre-update map: https://madoka.brage.info/baughn/rampant-bugreport.zip Modpac...

Probably not a surprise, given how it works, but I thought someone should report this. It would be by far most useful server-side, and as it stands I'm not sure it could work on a headless server at all.

Anyway, the --help output ought to document this.
