If you are getting errors, such as .wav you have mods enabled. Every single mod that has a single .wav file needs to be updated, all .wav files were changed to .ogg, It took me a while to fix my mod. go to your factorio/mods folder, and open mod-list.json turn all mods to false except for base. You ...

can i see your research facility?

Well, i hope it comes out in the next 2 weeks then. The dev's are already working on multiplayer and tomorrow's patch is a step in the direction. within 2 months you can expect a multiplayer from the devs that is expected to have lots of bugs. 2 months after that it should be clean :) I don't mean t...

I don't see too much of a problem with the pickaxe. I believe it increases the speed at which you take down your buildings, Those walls take forever without a pickaxe.... If i didn't have a pickaxe i would probably be a little bit more lazy in wanting to upgrade my factory. I wouldn't want to take d...

yes, it stitched them itself. You just list every picture you want to. i use Photoshop to stitch my pictures together And waldo was easy to find! I wouldn't mind a zoomed out map view of the world :) Just to see where those trains go I love seeing how people deal with trains. me me me mir me again I...

I get this too, and i believe it cuts power also, i can not confirm that though. I had an instance where my power grid showed 200 solar panels, later i noticed i had 260. I noticed this after i had placed the big electric poles around all of my base. So i am not sure if i had a power line issue (whi...

Well, i was going through the watch dogs streams.. Why? well because i knew the hype for the game would end in failure. I was right, watch dogs is practically not played now haha. But, while watching i decided to see who else was streaming, and i saw sevadus was streaming and something I've never se...

I like to make a row of iron to steel, and then use the logistic robots to move the steel somewhere else. i just started using logistic robots though honestly, felt no need for them to begin with. (because i could do everything they did without their help) but they make the game quite easy, I could ...

Notch, creator of minecraft once said that if money was an issue, play the game and pay when you can Me though, i think there is a limit. Your version of a demo was 50 hours, most people play a single player game for 7 hours and then stop playing it. A demo is supposed to be a taste of the game, not...

What kind of militaristic research have you done? I think yiur best course of action is to get as close as possible, then create a wall of walls thrn turrets. Once you have that, the typical poke with the shotgun strategy works good against around 2 to 4 spawners. (How many spawners are there?) If y...

yes! that is a huge pain!

it's in the middle of a large body of water

You could set the world to only have water at spawn maybe. i dont know if this will help you.


i look forward to the progress, sounds very fun!

Hey, i modified the original solar panel for a 1x1 tile, I don't know if the devs would be upset or anything but i think this would look nicer: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14317198/Factorio/solar-panel2.png edit: i have not tested anything, or how it looks adjacent to others. You may need to...

You don't have to tell me about game development, i know all about it

I posted the suggestion for the people like me who really like their information. But we want to see it fast so it needs to be clean.

- have you tried the debug mode? Keys f4-f7.

I didn't know about the debug keys, but after messing around with this, some things are not as clean (because its a debug mode) as a simple glance could be by pressing a simple button/combo

I always keep info button (alt) toggled on. But sometimes i notice myself hovering over, for example, my electric mining drills to see how much coal is left before my factory stops. My suggestion, is a More Info Button. when holding shift with alt toggled on, (example button) It will show more info ...
