Am I right — judging from my map "experiment" (I'm close to redoing) of leaving all ore settings at default, and RSO's default save for Region size upped to 50 (yup, I'm crazy :D) and Resource chance upped to .7 — that "distance" means "distance in regions"? I get a cop...

Yes, it's long. ;-) { "mods": [ { "name": "base", "enabled": true }, { "name": "Additional-Turret-016", "enabled": true }, { "name": "armor-pockets", "enabled": true }, { "name": "Aspha...

Now I get an error in data-updates.lua, line 12, "attempt to index local 'loader' (a nil value)".

Not using anything of Bob's but Ultimate Belts.

I've been curious about something, and this seems like the perfect place to ask it. Most games I see on the market retail for $x.99 in stead of the next highest dollar amount. (I'm working with US dollars here.) So a game priced like Factorio at the 20 dollar range would be sold at $19.99. Factorio...

I have no idea where this should go, I just know that I hate this effect. If I want *SMALL* enemy bases, I don't expect bases with dozens of spawners. *ANYWHERE*, whether close to or far from base. Context: this is a snippet from the "Generate preview" map. Using RSO, but with "Use va...

So, release in 2019?

Changing engine is always a recipe for disaster delays. Time and time again. Let's hope this (as pretty much everything Factorio, so there's that bit of hope) runs a lot smoother than should be expected.

I just noticed that you made Nixies squeakable! Yay! An essential (still disappointed at the lackluster vanilla change on that front) mod got even better!

Hardly used Nixies in 0.16 yet, so the one or two times I did I didn't try squeak (or rather squeeze ) through, so I didn't notice.

Typically, you only build a structure once, whereas research tends to be a continuous production chain. If you've marked a heap for construction, wouldn't you want it built asap so it can start producing whatever the heap is meant to start producing? Even though it's late (but I was a happy Necroma...

Buffer chests do have a lower priority than requester chests - by design. Let me get this straight (and, if you guys ever write a manual for this game, put it in): if both a buffer chest and a requester chest request an item, and there are fewer of that available than both request in total, the buf...

If more PvP means you (have to) mess with SP and make it worse for people who don't want to PvP (me? Not even MP, nobody likes my style )… then no, it would not help, but hurt. Obviously, my personal opinion here is the absolute truth.

"Everything > 4" reads perfectly fine. Same for "Anything < 100".

I'm so with the OP. And yes, this is still unfixed, and sadly I'm not getting any hopes up, but it's still damn annoying.

Whee… this disabled the Avatars mod (and in turn, Vehicle Grid and Additional Turrets, but they can be enabled when Avatars is disabled). Because this one introduced a requirement for braking force being positive (and I guess it doesn't consider braking_power = "0W" as positive). Avatars u...

It would really be totally non-shit if we could copy the text of the error message when a mod falls foul of the current mod requirements. Typing it off the screen is so punch card.

Change of tack with this post, from belts/bots to T-shirts. Could I suggest that you never make any more of the 'factorio gear' t-shirts. Make a new design instead. It's not as though you are short of great graphical images, from inserters to biters, so why not offer different designs each time aro...

Ah, took me a while to find this. So, this "fix" (or the followup "fix") caused blueprints not being placed into invisible parts of the map, just (if you press shift) the part of the blueprint that's visible. Sweet. NOT.

Hello there! Tbh, I havn't read the entire forum atricle but I had a semi-long discussion with some friends of mine who worked in the gaming industry. I agree with the factorio devs that bots in the current build are gamebreaking. What freaking game are they breaking? I'm a fan of bots and I don't ...

One idea to fixing bots v belts is to give bots a pickup and drop-off time, during which other bots are unable to interact with the chest. This limits the throughput of them without ending up with the situation where you "just build more bots" because that doesn't work without adding more...

The solution to bots is NOT nerfing bots. It is nerfing chest access speed/volume and at the same time also allowing inserters faster ouput out of chests. Either through side inserters or through research upgrades increasing their maximum overall (not just for stack inserters) items per arm swing. ...

I think Twinsen has his head stuck in postgame land. He's seeing players finally reaching Factorio's breaking points in the post post post game, but treating it like a flaw in the main campaign. It's not. Players are reaching those breaking points because their objective is to literally break the g...
