I made it so Factorio will put a .lock file into its write-data and call flock(2) on it to ensure no other Factorio process is using the same directory. Thank you! Automatically using separate write-data on headless would be more involved, and you'd have to edit the config to change the port anyway...

Got it: the problem is the server and client can't coexist, you have to make a separate config with a separate `write-data` path. mkdir -p ~/.factorio/server cd !$ cp -a ../config . sed -si /write-data/s:=.*:=$PWD: config/config.ini mv ../server-settings.json . Then you can `bin/x64/factorio -c ~/.f...

Apparently you know your way around Linux better than I do, but 62.934 Warning WriteFileGuard.cpp:25: Writing /home/quyxkh/.factorio/saves/MP/1.zip failed are you sure the user Factorio runs under (I assume it's your user) has permission to write to that file? Delete the temp folder in .factorio, t...

Connecting via lan (loopback, 127.0.0.1) with this straightforward server setup hangs with an unresponsive server and the logs shown here: (ins)~/steam/Factorio$ type doit doit is a function doit () { cd ~/steam/Factorio; rm -rf ~/.factorio/saves/MP; mkdir ~/.factorio/saves/MP; diff -u0 data/server-...

When you're copy-pasting settings it'd be nice to get feedback when the paste takes, how about displaying the hover border in white when the settings match?

I'm really sorry I was unclear, this was supposed to be a gimme, I'm afraid I wrecked it by just assuming It was clearly a simple, easily-correctable oversight in the UI setup. I'm asking to have Factorio interpret keyboard input when you're changing an operand value as the new operand value. It's r...

I've got one early-game setup with dozens of each-to-each combinators, and I can set one up, shift-rclick on it, and shift-lclick on the rest bangbangbangbangbang. Then it _could be_ select a combinator, type the constant, pick the operation, done. That's what I'm asking for.

When a combinator constant's up for editing, select and focus the current value so you can click-type-enter rather than click-move-clickdrag-type-enter. click 1 enter is lots nicer than click move clickdrag-or-doubleclick-but-don't-forget-to-do-one-or-the-other-because-just-clicking-then-typing-1-wi...

Tweakable resource/difficulty settings: can you add a setting to map generation controlling strength of sunlight (i.e. power from solar panels)? They feel rather cheaty now. Playing with only 10% of the power from solar would be interesting I think. Stuff like that's easy to fix yourself, edit {Fac...

Okay, I take rsedling's point there, that it's impossible to be perfect about it, but the situation of e.g. a factory or boiler complex on a power network with no power suppliers and an open switch is, given you're using switches at all (else, why have them?), guaranteed to happen, desirable, cheap ...

No, that's about the behavior of the power switches themselves. I'm talking about the "no power connected" warning, the yellow blinking warning triangle, that shows up on devices not connected to a power network with both a producer and a consumer. If you're not using power switches, that'...

So there'd be say the normal "ungated" power networks and "gated" power networks that have "off" power switches but no boilers/accumulators/panels. If a device is connected only to gated power, don't flash the "no power" warning icon. When I've bothered to set...

Both woo! and hoo!

When your target's the belt on the left and very much not the belt on the right, three R's isn't enough - especially when your inventory's already full so you can't pick up the current belt contents.

Also: try replaying a saved Transport Belt Madness campaign. Just the first two puzzles should do it. It might require you reload from an autosave during the recording.

This has gone away, by the way. In the interim I've switched from an AMD card to a Nvidia, using the vendor HDMI audio, so it could easily have been a driver issue.

I think OP does have a good point, that blueprints don't store the wiring connections for poles inside the blueprint. I think it's reasonable to expect a blueprint to reproduce the setup. Certainly my expectation for a blueprint of four poles not connected to each other would be four poles not conne...

[. . . ] (as you've already guessed, I never even thought to look there . . . thanks for pointing it out) This started happening after I cleared out my logistics requests for some oil-production construction, when I loaded it back up again I left it at the default 100 instead of the 400 I'd had befo...

I see 82 in the slot, not 100.
