Using a blueprint, if you use a `player.clear_cursor()` then subsequent enumerations of the `event.stack` provided by `defines.events.on_built_entity` fail. If I'm understanding their usage correctly, event is a reference to data, not a copy of it. As such, calling clear_cursor() will clear the dat...

There are absolutely no cirqucits on this station. Boxes wired together and wire goes to station. Station enable/disable depend on box content amount. That is it. That is a circuit. You are creating a circuit network by connecting the station to the chests. It even says "circuit" in the w...

Ah, ok, I was interpreting this as it was consistently crashing on save attempt of this particular save/map.

If it was working previously and there have been no changes to the mods aside from your tinkering with them, then that likely may be why.

FuryoftheStars

Have you tested with other saves/new game? I believe this is a data corruption with the save itself, not the game.

[..] but only in systems where people were poking at Factorio memory with external tools or in systems with unstable hardware. My system very rarely crashes. Also not using any tools to harm Factorio in any way. Even "rare" crashes could be signs of an issue. Ideally, your system should n...

I don't know why this decision, the game by itself is the most solid that I've ever seen in my life so far, so why mutes? Maybe they are scared by something? Maybe they keep infos just to drop something big in a big surprise way? I don't know and it isn't my business but only my experience after 30...

While the zip file does have it's own separate game data directory, it still defaults to the same user data location, so that won't help, either, unless you edit the config-path.cfg file in the game data directory first to point to a different location before even firing it up. Windows version stan...

I don't think it's a good idea to downgrade with Steam, even though you can. It will likely break your blueprint library and may mess with other things too. Download old versions from the website instead. (But not 0.18, so hopefully 1.0.0 can read 0.17 saves.) While the zip file does have it's own ...

FuryoftheStars

You can install an old version with Steam? But wouldn't that break the newer saves I already have? No. First, because it won't let you load a newer save with an older client, and second because you'd actually have to load and then save the game in order to break them. That said, if you've been usin...

FuryoftheStars

You need to use either the old zip versions of the game or use the beta feature of Steam to install older versions of the game. Then you can do as DaleStan says.

This suggestion doesn't make any sense to me as written.

This may or may not help, but this has worked for a couple of people recently with various issues where other solutions (including an uninstall/reinstall) did not work:

Can you try going to the steam folder and manually deleting the Factorio files and then do 'verify files'?

FuryoftheStars

I'm not going to attempt to help with this one as I'm not at my computer, and I know that no matter what I do someone else is going to come along later and tell me I did it wrong... but you should (at some point) have a look at the top post of this thread: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f...

Is there a way to have a player character in sandbox mode?

Yes.
From this subsection of the console commands page (https://wiki.factorio.com/Console#Enable_god_mode), you can run this command from the console:

Code: Select all

/c game.player.create_character()

FuryoftheStars

Already exists. You have the Sandbox scenario which gives you a few things right off the bat such as no player character to restrict your movement or reach, plus it asks you if you want to enable a few things like always day, cheat mode (instantly craft items by hand without the need of resources), ...

FuryoftheStars

Hmm, while it would be nice, I feel like there are so many edge cases with this that may be difficult to handle and it may come down to where to draw the line in support. And what about recipes? Or technologies? Even if the devs did add a json or script method, it would still be on the mod author to...

In a new crash it gave me the error message that my graphics card had been "removed or reset" what can i do about that? My drivers are up to date.

Are you alt tabbing? This happens to me if I alt tab a few times.

FuryoftheStars

I don't have any other issues in any other games sadly just factorio, no other programs cause me this issue either. Please note that Factorio is a lot more memory intensive than most other games. As such, Factorio is more apt to expose and cause issues with any instability or hardware defects invol...

If all you're wanting is to track a resource deposit and potentially how much is left, a mod like this one may help with that:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/YARM

FuryoftheStars

I kind of wonder if it'd be possible to just integrate that entire discussion section for the mod's on the mod portal to these forums. Each mod would have it's own subsection, with the mod authors being moderators of their own section.
