Where is the server in relation to you? Is it directly next to you, or is it "out in the cloud" in some datacenter far away? It sounds as though the server is in a distant datacenter, and you are accessing it remotely from a home connection, probably DSL. If there are any background downlo...

Okay, so I see this has been moved to the "Duplicates" category, but this doesn't tell me anything. It's a duplicate of what? I have looked through all the "Fixed in next release / Assigned / Not a bug" etc categories and I don't see anything similar to this. Could some mod pleas...

I tried the save on Windows and it crashes as well, after about 4 minutes. The Windows log is a little different from the linux log. It says Access Violation occurred. 333.769 Error CrashHandler.cpp:314: Exception Code: c0000005, Address: 0x00007ff73a016f13 ModuleBase: 0x00007ff739b00000, ImageSize:...

This is "Arumba Prime Marathon", a stripworld 128 tiles tall, and currently about 40,000 tiles wide, with 128x difficulty. It is intended as a long-play ridiculous difficulty game, meant to run for hundreds of hours. TO REPLICATE BUG: Launch the save game and do nothing. Just stand there. ...

Is there a way in a vanilla game to restrict landfill and cliff bombs via LUA and group /permissions, so that only the server admin can use these? I want to run a really difficult and annoying vanilla multiplayer world where people just have to deal with uncrossable water, cliffs, and islands the wa...

Followup to this. We were able to get it going again. It loads in the Windows single player game, but not in the Linux headless server. Perhaps there is some programming difference between the two? One of our resident LUA experts removed 907 players in the "no craft" permissions group, whi...

... I don't know which of these is the last save. There are two of these. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzUBvQPN-TincUQ5TkhXamtDZTg This is a 0.15.x vanilla server "strip-world" 500 tiles tall, from about mid-June. The server was faithfully updated with every new version release. It is...

ok.. removed personally identifiable info. File is 4.5 megabytes

This is a very old Marathon server, approaching 950 hours old. It was running since June and we keep on going with it. Starting at line 967 of startup log: 7.862 Info BlueprintLibrary.cpp:796: Player shelf: playerIndex = 936, nextRecordID = 169; timestamp = 1508206767; records: (id: 936, 21; label: ...

OP here.... after fiddling around, it seems that lengthwise stacking seems to work better.

Is there a limit on the number of rails a train select in a huge rail yard? This huge rail system is failing because the train in the top right does not want to go down to the bottom and pick an open path. Instead it wants drive right through the topmost rail path where a train is already parked. ht...

For games that are far into the endgame, with hundreds of rockets launched, and a huge factory..... unnecessary roboports waste your CPU time. In multiplayer, huge unnecessary map-spanning roboport coverage will eventually make it so you have to slow the game speed for anyone to be able to join. Rem...

If some idiot griefer has messed up your multiplayer world with landfill and you are unable to load a prior savegame, the following will allow you to repair the map and re-insert water back into the world again. NOTES: Doing this will disable achievements. SAVE the game world in case you screw this ...

This is a 0.15.x Marathon 10x cost game. It's getting quite large and slow, and has to run at 50% game speed for anyone to even be able to log on and catch up. I had this idea that maybe if I killed off all the biters, the game would be less laggy. But as I push the biters back, the pollution cloud ...

I am trying to figure out a way to have one single huge depot where all trains without a stop will wait until there is a spot free for them to go. This depot is attached to a freeform track network via entrance and exit onto any track. I understand the basics: All depot parking stops are named the s...

Logged on to another computer while Factorio was running here.

Use phone camera or (gasp) single-purpose digital camera.

Apparently reading through a ridiculously long shared blueprint library is treated as idle, and you are kicked if you spend enough time browsing through blueprints. FIX: moving mouse over blueprints and books, and scrolling the window, should reset the AFK/idle timer. http://i.imgur.com/Yn3hGX0.png

Proheadkill .... griefing tracks, grenading belts

The new shared blueprint library is nice, but on a long-running server with hundreds of people joining, it rapidly becomes a horrible mess to try to browse. Please add a Search function, with Next and Previous buttons. This should automatically scroll the browser window and open books to show the ma...
