In the last weeks we collected your opinions about the mod portal and we got 1170 responses! Here's our writeup about the survey results. Questions Q: How would you describe your role in the Factorio community? With the first couple question we tried to get a feeling of the roles in which people are...

Thank you for the testing the publish API! Yes I'm aware of OpenAPI, but integrating it into the existing codebase takes a bit of work. At least with the new http APIs I did some internal refactoring so maybe in the future I'll get to implementing it. I think I'll stay with the /v2/ prefix for a whi...

This is the last post of this kind for today I just finished documenting the new https://wiki.factorio.com/Mod_publish_API

I'm aware that testing this API can be quite a hassle without a "Delete Mod" button, but I didn't want to delay the release.

I just finished documenting the Mod images API for updating images on the mod page. You can find it on the wiki: https://wiki.factorio.com/Mod_images_API

Please tell me what you think so I can include your feedback before marking it as stable and moving it to the /v2/ url prefix.

I have been working on new a set of new APIs for the mod portal. I just finished documenting the Mod details API for changing mod information like description, license, etc. You can find it on the wiki: https://wiki.factorio.com/Mod_details_API Please tell me what you think so I can include your fee...

We passed 1000 respondents! Will close the survey next monday.

Does solving the captcha clear the block per-IP, or does it just set a cookie?

Solving the captcha will allow you to complete a login which gives you a session cookie. Whether we require a captcha on future logins is independent from it.

The captcha triggers on too many failed logins. Other downloaders try to replicate the games behaviour and get the token from https://wiki.factorio.com/Web_authentication_API (you'll get blocked there too if you keep trying to login with wrong info) Be advised that these are internal APIs (-> https:...

Vinzenz, do you give us a summary of the results and maybe what follows? Yes, will do that eventually. Most likely another forum post, not as FFF. The weirdest part of that question to me is how 1 stands for "Needs most improvement" and 5 stands for "Needs least improvement" Sur...

Very interesting to see all your different interpretations of the "Needs the least improvement" option. Maybe in the 2023 survey I will phrase the question like "What part of the mod portal would you like us to spend more development time on? Is there a close date on the survey? I hav...

In that case I thought people would choose "Needs the least improvement" option if they don't care about it. But judging from the current results it looks they then just use the middle option for it.

Sorry the daily background task had trouble finding itself, I need to setup better alerting for it. Trending/Popular will now update again.

Whether you work on mods for Factorio, create tools for mod creators or just play with mods. If you use the Mod Portal, we would like to hear from you! Help us plan the future mod portal development by filling out the 2022 Mod Portal Survey ! There's already a lot of feedback on the Mod portal Discu...

Thanks for the heads-up! I fixed the search index for this mod.

Maybe you can add on auth.factorio.com a ipv6 address.

I enabled IPv6 for auth.factorio.com, it might take a DNS Cache reset for you to work properly.

Huh I thought we had all our services on IPv6 by now. I'll look into it.

Hi, I'm suffering the same problem here. All the thumbnails are not loading, the mod portal site itself is generally very slow in loading, and from in-game in Factorio on Steam, I cannot see thumbnails nor download any mods. I've flushed the DNS, purged the DNS using the Cloudfair tool, changed DNS...

Looks like I misinterpreted the https options in our CDN provider interface. I fixed it but depending on your DNS cache it can take a few more hours to work again

Sorry about that, it should work again now.

hi there, while I don't appreciate the tone, I just deployed HTTP conditional get support for the /blog/rss endpoint
