It would be nice if you could provide your savegame for developers to test.

Also you might wanna check ingame options to see if your game can use multiple threads. I asume you have multicore CPU, right. Set the number of threads that Factorio can use to the number of cores your CPU have.

If you think that Captcha system could stop SpamBot invasion then think again. I'm a moderator on another forum where we used to have Captcha for base anti spam protection and custom rule so that any moderated users could only post in one subsection of the forum. We had betwen 200 to 800 new spam bo...

Wait can you actually store heated water in the tanks?

Unity gets the attention because it's so easy to make a game, you don't really have to know a lot. You toss out efficient code for ease of use. A lot of people I know call it an artist engine, not a developer engine. Actually Unity is so popular becouse it alows you to quickly develop a game protot...

I suggest this probably has something to do with Character Set that is being used when you save those files. Based on Translation gude (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=95) these files should always be saved in UTF8 without BOM. So you should check which Character Set does ...

There are several reasons why detailed info is implemented as it is now: 1. As you have probably alreqdy realized based on coments so far not all pepole prefere seeing detailed information all the time. 2. It is true that Setters 3 did alow you to see buildgin inventory stock by showin items represe...

Go and download ZIP version instead. That version is saving any savegames in the same folder as Factorio. So it can be used from USB drives, network drives, etc. Some pepole even put it into DropBox folder which automatically synchonizes it between all computers.

Have you scaned your disk for errors by using CHKDSK? It is posible that your savegame file is actually damaged. It is also posible (smal possibility) that you antivirus software might be causing problems. So I recomend you temporarily disconect your computer from internet (you do this in order to a...

I don't know if this is also true for laptop keyboards but on normal keyboard when you turn of numLock numerical keys acts as arow keys (4=left, 6=right, 8=up, 2=down) and other keys acts as Insert, Delete, Home, End, Page Up and Page Down. So maybe you won't even need custom keyboard but only a bit...

So far I have only expirienced slodowns when there are bunch of acumulators in sight and they are iether charging or discharging. If none of them is in sight I don't expirience any slowdowns.
So I spuspect this might be caused by the acumulators charging or discharging animation.

There were similar problems reported in the past. You can read more about them here: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2454 The probable causes for this are: - automatic chunk generation. This could be recognized by cnstant CPU spikes. - your computer stores Factorio graphics...

@Developers If you want high quality music in Factorio without using to much of a hard drive space I recomend adding support for MOD music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_file) These music files can be quite small. On my computer I have colection of many MOD music files (over 16 hours of music)...

Belive it or not but so far I never had anything like this happen to me
Probably this due the fact that I'm used to empty the chest before destroying them from the Minecraft.

First thing I do is go and explre nearby area. Why? First reason is to know the layour of te terrain so I can decide roughly where certain parts of my base will be build. Another reason is the fact that game sometimes generates a map where you are placed on one big island (size is proportional to st...

Radar does explore the already explored sectors when it finishes exploring. Rescaning of such sectors is not visible the same way as is discovering new sectors. Also do note that this process is quite slow. Take into account how much time radar needed to full discover all sectors within its reach. I...

That report is totally off. Whenever I come to factorio site I do so through google seach engine even thou it would be easier to just add shortuct to favorites. Why I do so? Becouse I know that this way I could promote factiorio quite a lot especially making factorio site to be on top of search resu...

That is on To-Do list but developers didn't stated any timeframe when this would get fixed.
In worst scenarios this even lead to game crashes (deconstructing full iron chest = new item pavment several screens wide if your computer can handle that).

You are not the first one to encounter this. Pepole ended up on even smaller ilsands.

If you made custom scenario map in the game editor then the map generation settngs that you chose when you started working with editor will be used. Copying freeplay.lua or sandbox.lua only affects ingame rules like is god mode enabled, which technologies are available, preprogramed ingame events (u...

I think this is a verry good suggestions.
