Just download the version you want to play from the factorio.com website. Unexpand /uncompress the file you downloaded, and then play by double clicking on /factorio/bin/x64/factorio. That's it.

Those instructions on the install wiki are to make a desktop shortcut, but I don't know what version of ...

Firefox can resume on downloads when the internet connection breaks. (It works. I just tested it). So just download using regular ol' Firefox, and it doesn't matter how bad your internet connection is.

I have stumbled upon this thread because I am having a similar issue. I have 3 decently sized yumako tree farms...


You theoretically shouldn't be running out. Is your fruit spoiling before you process it?
I haven't done the math, but does using level 3 production modules in those biochambers ...

I agree 100%. If I lost all of my saves, I'd be kind of thrilled that I'd be forced to start from scratch again.

And I'm a programmer, which also feeds my paranoia. :D


Maybe it's an age thing :lol: :lol:

About paranoia. I bet you cannot beat me. I'm really paranoid if comes to backups. This dates back from personal experience in the PC world starting with DOS 3.0 and ...

Everything you say points to the graphics cards as the problem. If you put a different graphics card in one of those two machines, I'm betting it'll work fine.
If I were you, I'd try to use an older graphics card driver for two two troublesome graphics cards, and see if that fixes the problem.

So you have 3 options:
1) Do not use quality if you don't like it
2) Use it normally and have long time fun tinkering with it
3) Wait until you can use a shortcut and get legendary items the fast way


Well, this is basically why this thread exists, or not? Because of the rumor that they want ...

How about construction bot repair damaged item inside logistic network?


From what I understand, that happens now, but if it doesn't happen fast enough, you can still end up with these items gumming up the works.
Even if it doesn't happen already (I don't know how to test this), I think that not ...

I've run into a problem that I can't seem to automate: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=130068.
What happens, is when items get delivered to a requester chest that are not at 100% health, they can be picked up by inserters, but can't be inserted into the assembler, so they have to be ...

I feel like the game ought to offer some improvements in this area, to keep things “automatable”. Here are a couple of options that come to mind:


I've spent some time thinking about this, and the best way that I can think of doing this without adding a lot of complexity is to not include things ...

I've had this happen on Gleba, when buildings being super force deconstructed took damage from Boompuffs. It just so happened the Boompuffs got deconstructed first, dealing damage to nearby entities that then got removed afterwards before any other bots had time to repair them, thus placing ...

I can't figure out a way around this without having to manually intervene. I manually click on the less than 100% health in the inserter's hand to have the bots remove them now.

No, don't remove the less than 100% health items from the inserter's hand. Instead, go to the assembling machine the ...

Bots kind of have their own logic. Your fix is what I would do if I thought this was a problem.

You can change your behavior so damaged items don't get stored. Extend robot coverage to the area where things are getting damaged. Either by going for a big single network or running a train to a ...

Why was it stalled? My guess is that the input inserter was told to insert inserters but was unable to merge its hand content with the content of the input slot in the destination because of different damage state.

I was able to make the machine continue by manually requesting the missing green ...

Repair pack and fix it?


To make sure it's that particular item that gets built, you either have to go pick it out of the yellow chest manually with your character, or you just get lucky that a bot picks it.


Right. That's the problem I'm having. How do I single out a single item among ...

There's inventory slots in a roboport. If the area of the factory is not remote, anything in the construction area gets automatically repaired. The port itself needs construction bots.

If it is remote, a spidertron or tank might have to be driven near it, with a personal roboport in the equipment ...

Repair pack and fix it?


Sure, but how do I grab it, physically? You can't select for partial health things to deconstruct, or to grab with an inserter. If you right click on it when an inserter is holding it, it just gets dropped into a yellow chest, and then it arrives again, eventually. I don ...

I have a single item that is less than 100% health. I have a blue chest that asks for those items. Invariably, when that one item ends up in my requester (blue) chest, and tries to get inserted into the assembler, everything stops. I have to manually clear it out of the inserter to get things moving ...

I have a large stationary platform that collects asteroids to send down to the planet surface. I have copied and pasted long sections like this. The platform is complete, and all of the sections are connected. Many asteroid collectors stay stuck on "computing navigation", and never begin to collect ...

Always save before adding a mod. You're adding random stuff to your game that was written by random people. Wube can't save you from mods that you install yourself.


Note: mods should never be able to corrupt a save file. We *are* supposed to be able to save people from mods they install ...
