Combat drones were always subpar when compared to other means of biter eradication, which in turn were in no way overpowered rather simply good enough to get job done. The problem is that the very idea of fighting an endless stream of tough enemies with a limited bunch of expensive moderate damaging...

I wonder, whatdoes it mean when server disconnects from your game?

edit: The answer is you keep your own game session which becomes irrelevant to server and to which people won't connect.

When you're fiddling with console experimenting with stuff, forgetting to add /c in front of code may get quite irritating. It also slows the process down somewhat when you're testing code which is already written down in your lua files. It would be nice to be able to switch it from the chat mode to...

Map updated to 0.12.0
Unzip to factorio/scenarios folder.
edit: file deleted due to bugs.

The following map causes several error messages to appear on load. Messages are about wrong names (i.e. isdemo instead of is_demo). The map was generated in previous version (in this thread). Then it was edited by me in current redactor and saved as copy. Original version (map itself) loads well, ed...

Ubuntu 14.04 No mods. The following commands were put in console: /c dis=game.player.print /c dis('1') /c dis('2') /c dis('3') The last command crashed the game. Repeated usage of game.player.print doesn't result in crash. The following was inside log file: Factorio crashed. Generating symbolized st...

On Ubuntu 14.04 You can paste text from clipboard into the console as long as you don't try to copy text from fatorio to clipboard. After that you can only paste in console the text which you copy from inside factorio. And the clipboard receives that text from the game only for the first time and ne...

I see an eyed blob floundering in liquid.

Seems to me that we could really use a separate "group" for these "technical marvels" type posts. I had hard time finding this one again. Some get posted only in the release / FFF threads and get lost eventually. (i.e. https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=8...

This is basically what happens. You can see it in action if you turn on the "Active Chunks": The vicinity around the player is always more active. If the active chunks contain biter nests, they will spawn biters, while biter nests not in active chunks will go mostly inert. Since the playe...

Добавляй русский перевод к своим постам. Непонятно же ничего. Тебе походу вот это нужно. To make this mod work correctly for existing saves there needs to be added the migration to it. This is the migration we will have in 0.9.5 to fix the lubricant problem: game.player.force.resettechnologies() -- ...

I don't know. Tried saving\loading, saving\restarting\loading with replicators everything works. The only script in the mod is the one that gives you items from the start. There's literally nothing that could break down. You may put the save on the internet. Maybe do so in the mod thread. Telebelts ...

For me replicators launched fine without update.
Harvesters I did update. You may check it's thread now.
Telelogistics are hard, use Telebelts instead.

Made it launch on 0.11.14. Just a bunch of renamings of "Harvester" to "harvester" and ".WAV" to ".wav". I'm sure it won't work make old saves with harvesters work but it appears that it's quite while since the mod was last working. If someone does need that, ...

Well, this one is kinda exotic. When inserter cannot place item on the floor because there's rail, it goes to sleep. If you drive car to the output position, the inserter won't wake up and put items into it. (I've actually encountered it when I made conveyor belt that collides with items and put car...

Exactly what it says on the can. If you use .teleport() command on item stack so that it ends up on a belt it won't get moved around by the belt.

Ah, I see Alberts devpost is still having consequences.

This seemed dead when I last checked and author was absent from the forums for a while so I kinda updated it on my own (and slightly nerfed it, probably still better than robots). Though now he's here somewhere so if his own version gets released, ignore this. :) edit: still works in 0.11.14 though ...

Right, I guess there's no reason to do anything fancy with those strings anyway.
I've been updating abandoned mod where guy was concatenating that string to make playermessages instead of using script localisations. Which I can't quite put together in my mind how to use as well.

Yeah, you know, there's these things that humans have invented something like a couple thousands years ago, called letters. These days those are used to conduct information more often than pictures. They tend to be plentiful on the mod-thread OPs and usually do the job well. Besides, graphic is rath...
