This one just made me sad. It basically made it official that the add-on was never headed in a direction that I would have liked. Factorio isn't the only game in its genre, but I kept on coming back to it for three reasons. Well, there's no pleasing everyone. ...It is just, I get a joy out of solvi...

So to boil it down, what you'd be looking for is a setting where when you hit Shift-# to switch hotbars, and then hit a # to pick an item, it would then immediately restore your default (1 2 3 4) hotbars without you having to switch back.

kovarex, thank you for posting this. I always enjoy peeking behind the curtains to see how a game or expansion goes from a vague idea to a finished product.

I'm very much looking forward to playing it. Already got my credit card in hand.

However, each achievement can be gotten twice: Once in a "vanilla" game, and once in a modded game.

Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to delete the achievements from only one type of game.

You can reset them in Other settings.

can you please share a screen shot of which setting you are talking about

It looks like this:

It might make an interesting mod, though.

I guess you could regard every item lower than best quality as trash...

The trouble with this idea is that every single assembly machine would have to filter between good items and trash. That seems like it would get old quickly.

A lot of it is probably a reaction to bots taking away most of the challenge. The only real way to create a challenge at that point is to nerf bots in some way...and then the challenge is just belt routing. So these new challenges, such as rockets and spoilage and recycling and quality, provide new ...

Give this a read:

Seems to be missing a Windows section.

Want to organize my saved maps. Experiments in creative, different runs with a bunch of brenches... How do I catalogize saves? Create directories/folders? Though you can't create folders within Factorio, Factorio recognizes folders within your saved games folder. You can find the save folder somewh...

Please support CTRL+Shift+Z redo for Windows and Linux as well. Not only is it a very common shortcut for redo but it is also one-handable which is very useful for a game like Factorio where you are often using the mouse in the other hand while building. I agree. I think most actions in Factorio do...

Fantastic FFF. I've quite often undone something and heard the sound, but couldn't see anything, and wondered with trepidation just what I'd inadvertently destroyed in my factory. :shock: And of course I couldn't redo it. This is an excellent change. I've also done multiplayer online with a guy in A...

It's about balance. You'll end up using more of some products and less of others, and cracking is a way to keep from running out of one while being backed up in another. Circuits can help you manage this. For example, I usually set up a row of chemical plants to crack heavy oil to light oil. I put a...

You know that you can customize the controls, right?

I have the same issue, where my middle mouse button doesn't clear quickbar items properly.

But my mouse has several buttons, so I just reassigned that action to a different button.

It's perhaps worth noting that this is a game that its developers play regularly. Most of the enhancements come from things that the devs realize, as game players, would be better. So chances are pretty decent that they're going to ensure the expansion is actually fun to play and not just a bunch of...

There's a mod for that!

This doesn't appeal to me at all. I'd want it to be optional and off by default.

There's also an element of creepiness in the idea of the game tracking my stats, even in an aggregated sense, but maybe that's just because I've lived in privacy-paranoid Germany too long.

I find most Steam achievements fairly stupid. (Civ V ones are the worst: Lose a game with every civ!? That's an "achievement"?) Factorio has a decent number without going overboard, but I don't think it really needs more. Probably it'll have more in the expansion. You can always use the Mi...

If you're using train limits, you might try using supply-based limits on the high-priority stations and lower or hard-coded limits on the low-priority stations. For example, to set up a station to only be serviced when it has full loads available: Arithmetic combinator - Input: Total ore in chests -...

So first, I want to note that picture does not show for me.

This is probably a CDN issue.

Have a look here for how to fix it:
