All, I would really like a circuit-enabled buffer/stockpile blueprint. The basic idea is that a trainload (or belt) of product comes to a point and via circuit network: (A) If there is cargo in the train, to unload it and not put it back onto the train. (B) if there is an empty cargo car, load the c...

Very recent update to Angel's mods added that problem. Two ways to solve, both require manual edits to a mod folder contents. You'll either have to comment out the offending line, or copy a file from one .zip to the other mod. To comment out the offender, https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=...

Hey all, I'll give you a reader's digest version of my recent experience. As all who have started Angel's before, they also included bobingabout mods. Not that I couldn't get anywhere, but I was very curious where the separation between Angel and Bob's. I began by disabling Bob's so I can understand...

Thank you Wube for the countless hours of time. One heck of a game. When creating a blueprint, much like the checkboxes to enable/disable tiles, train station names, etc etc - a new checkbox that will remove the set recipe on the entities being captured. I often create blueprints that are "blan...

As I read the OP post, I couldn't help but repeatedly say "different people have different playstyles" Understanding this fundamental fact can and very might well be the reason why Base in a Book by another player may not be what you're needing or able to use. I will HAPPILY admit that any...

I think I crashed with a similar fault. I have mods that alter electric poles. See attached 7z archive with dump, log, save, and mods folder for 16.5.

See attached screenshot. It had a timeout reach and then this page displayed.

Is there any chance it might be an ALPHA consideration in a RGBA setting? if the train's Alpha is set to show up invisible, maybe this is why there are phantom vehicles?

Hello there fellow factorians. I run a factorio headless server. The last version was 0.15.37 and it was working perfekt. After the update, I replaces all files with the new ones put when I try to start the server with "sudo -H -u factorio /opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --start-server /opt/fac...

In addition, I think an official RCON download would be nice. There are unoffical ones out there, and they do work, but learning how to RCON without any good information was a bit of a steep curve. In said RCON, have abilities like savegame, ban/unban, kick etc -- general admin type functions. Notin...

So far as I can tell, it has to be absolute path. You can try it yourself: Run `patchelf --set-interpreter ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 factorio`, verify that the path is now relative in ldd output, and that factorio won't start. Well, thank you for this tip, thank you for the information! (beyond helpful!...

Oxyd, Nor am I asking for that. But I'm not the only one with the problem. Search results tells me that. the problem does seem to be purely the so-called "filesystem hierarchy standard" that isn't standard. I'm no expert but if you only code 'ld-linux-x86-64.so.2' file as a requirement, an...

Umm,

I don't know if it's related, but.. isn't (attached) that piece a little awkward when it comes to reserving track?


We have overlapping sections.

I'm no linux expert, but you're welcome to pass any questions my way, I can get around in it just fine.

The updating process cannot skip versions, is probably packaged for full installs (not headless [unverified]), and seems to be impossible to google a URI for it. If you're coming from (in any example, let's take yours) 0.15.16 to 0.15.18; the client would normally fetch 0.15.17, fetch 0.15.18 and ap...

With the new 0.15.x, there are a number of presets with the game, such as marathon, death world and rail world. But how about letting the players save their own custom presets for reusing, or sharing with others. This is what the map exchange string is. Literally - it copies all settings in that di...

All,

Took me a couple weeks to track this one down. Headless Factorio won't run without some possible necessary filesystem maintenance. See

Reviving this old thread from search results simply because it matches my problem, and I found a solution. Kinda. I know the problem and will be seeking Devs to feedback the issue. I have a pure 64-bit live Linux system that I am using Factorio on. I think the headless Factorio download (even for 0....

Having a roboport in the middle of the grid could mean that if you need to do something at the solar farm (working on wall, defence, ...) you have an established logistic network to request stuff instead of having to extend the existing one if it isn't reaching there. Hmm, I could see this too, jus...
