You can also just get the betas directly downloaded from Factorio site. Just link your Steam ID to your Factorio ID (look at FAQ how to do it because idr). Then you can do a direct download which seems to fix the problem that some people (including me) are having with 0.15 launching through Steam.

it would appear my problem is specifically related to the Anti Virus software; Trend Micro Security. Simply adding factorio.exe in the "steamapps\common\Factorio\bin\x64" directory to the exceptions list, completely fixed the problem, I can open the game, make a map and run around as much...

Once you buy it, it is the full game. There is no nickel and diming to get the full functionality. One purchase gets it here as stand alone and you can get a key to put it into your Steam library if you have it. Very close to retail launch (they said stable version of the next major version will be ...

I posted it in the Bug Reports. I may or may not get the Steam start up screen prior to the Factorio launching screen. That screen closes without launching into the game then in the Steam game list it shows this factorio screen.JPG I normally have to kill it through task manager otherwise get warnin...

Warning: rev 15.X through Steam doesn't work for a number of people (including me). It will not launch and gives no hint of what is happening. The work around is to link your Steam account with your Factorio account and do a direct download from the factorio homepage. It will nuke all of your previ...

Never had a game where I didn't start with water in the immediate starting area. So yes it looks strange. You are supposed to have coal, iron, copper, water and now maybe uranium in your starting area with no spawners. After you get your base going it won't be an issue but you're going to be running...

I think you also can get a factorio.com login with download option if you got the Steam or GOG Version. As far as i remember, I bought the game on Steam and linked it here... I did this last week to resolve the 15.X launching issue. You just link your Steam account to your Factorio account and you ...

OMG a simple explanation that makes sense. <smacks head> that's why my chain signals never worked. Thank you!!!!

Is the 0.7% 235/238 ratio showing up in everyone else's game? My ratio seems to be running closer to 0.4-0.5%. I wasn't getting enough 235 to power one reactor and two turbines (2 miners on first 10k patch. Got 6 pieces from first patch.) so I shut it down to wait to get the 40 pieces from the 135k ...

The biggest bottleneck is the %^&#ing trees. I can build an oil refinery in my pocket but I run around shooting trees down with a shotgun. I really don't like to use the construction bots, but sending a swarm of them to make a forest disappear in seconds is the real victory in this game Real ea...

As I am using my high end work laptop to play I cannot disable the Trend micro AV suite to see if that is the issue. Can I download directly from the factorio website as a standalone version to try that? Incompabilities only seem to be with the Steam version, so the standalone will most likely work...

I am having the same issue with Steam client. I have gotten it to work well enough by launching it outside of Steam but it takes 2-3 times of trying to launch for it to go through. As I am using my high end work laptop to play I cannot disable the Trend micro AV suite to see if that is the issue. Ca...

I still need YARM because want to know when the field is running out or if it is producing zero. Upgrade planner/builder because just select to upgrade anything. Love the trick to upgrade wood to deconstruct planner. Boom erase trees... And FARL.... Can live without all the rest in vanilla. Bob's mo...

Are you planning on having mine-able sulfur again? My last playthrough with Space Ex + Bobs+ alien crafting was a nightmare because artifacts required sulfur and only way to get it was from oil processing (ended up switching to a different alien mod. 200k purple science + all the colored artifacts w...

I'm having issues specifically with 15.6. 15.6 will not load at all and get 2 error screens from Windows saying that factorio has stopped. Had no issues with 15.2. I skipped 15.3-->15.5 and went directly to 15.6 and started having the problems. Went back to 15.5 and was getting some of the problems ...

Goal for today: Invent and build time machine so I can fast forward to Tuesday. Graphics look awesome. Even just the way circuits and steel sit on the belts looks better. This is the kind of attention to detail that makes this game and by extension, its developers, so awesome. Tuesday can't come fas...

My current addiction is Bobs+SpaceX. 60 hours in and at rocket number 20 I think. I'm going to wait for some of the mods to update to 0.15 because some are just too good to live without (upgrade planner, long reach, bob's). I still want to get the no spoon achievement and 400k iron per hour. But I t...

I decided to try SpaceX with Bob's mods. Everything going fine until FTL research. My +2000% speed labs eat up red bottles faster than the lvl 5 green belt can supply them. So yeah now into rethinking how I can supply those labs differently and not overwhelm my 400MW solar plant (I want to try to ge...

Love this mod. One question I have is if there is a way to make the color difference more obvious on boilers and engines when you have a vertical layout. Know there's not much to work with on the graphics for that orientation. I could just do horizontal layouts if it annoys me enough.
