I get this error when trying to run Factorio. The error causes the game to completely crash so I can't get in to remove the mods. If that ever happens in the future, there is a way to disable the mods. Go into your mods folder (should be %AppData%/Factorio/mods on windows) and open up "mod-lis...

It was added in 0.13 I think, and change blindness means you never noticed =P Change blindness is due to the way your brain processes images, it doesn't process the entire image from your eyes but looks for key markers and expectations then fills in the blanks from memory. So when you open your inv...

Ah, I get it now. I was going off a previous example for changing recipes, and assuming that the thing after data.raw was the file in the base game it was in. That makes sense, thanks.

I'm trying to change the loot of the biter and spitter spawners to a new item in my mod. However, I'm getting an error saying "data.lua:3: syntax error near '-'" Here's my data.lua: require("prototypes.item") data.raw.demo-enemies["biter-spawner"].loot = { { { count_max...

To answer posila's question: I copied the code from the electric furnace (because that's what the sprite is based off of) so it's the same as the electric furnace. After looking through bobingabout's post, I figured out what was wrong with mine. I couldn't actually specify values of 3 or -3 for the ...

This is now the third time I've posted here for modding help. Is that a good or bad thing? Anyways, onto the subject. Fluid boxes. I don't understand them well. I was making a machine that melts metals into liquids and vice versa. For the fluid boxes, I decided to just copy it from the assembling ma...

I took the idea of making a bit of a guide for some different things in the game to the next level. https://puu.sh/tITFu/40563cd1d6.jpg Yeah, I practically put everything in there. However, there wasn't enough room for train things, the rocket silo, walls, or turrets. (and maybe a few other things I...

I see, thanks. Do you have any idea on creating ores or should I wait for someone else?

Hello there. I have 2 modding questions that I'd like to know the answer to. 1) How do I add new ores to the game? I looked in the base mod files first, and I found some things, but it wasn't really clear what did what, and some things were just total nonsense. I then tried looking in the code of Bo...

I see, thanks. I'll update the main post so other people wondering the same thing can know how to do it.

Hi there, I'm just starting out modding and I thought of an idea for a simple but useful mod I could make that would change some default recipes. However, I don't know how to do that. My guess would be that I can just set it up like I'm going to make my own recipe, but instead of putting in a new na...

Okay, I see. I have tried a couple times with doing normal mods, however the tutorial on the wiki isn't up to date and I haven't found anything else that is. I might come up with a simple little map and make it in the editor, you can help me make that in Lua and I can examine the code from there and...

Hello fellow Factorians! For a little bit now I've been interested in creating scenarios for Factorio. I understand the map editor and how to use it, but all that seems to allow is essentially glorified Freeplay maps. I would like to know if there is somewhere where I can find a tutorial on actuall...

Thanks. I wasn't going to watch that video because it wasn't for the latest version of Factorio but I might watch it anyways. I think I kind of get what you're saying also. I will have to play around with them myself at some point.

Is there a good video for explaining rail signals and chain signals? I still don't fully understand them. I've looked around but not been able to find a good one. If not, a quick text explanation would be nice.
