The ability to modify spawn chances during runtime would be nifty.

Building an ammo supply infrastructure for artillery and repair/replacement infrastructure for damaged defense walls isn't trivial. It's a task that requires a non trivial amount of time. It's also a task that cannot be solved by brainlessly dumping some pre-made blueprints and let robots do all th...

Well, that is like your opinion man. Biters are a big and important logistical consideration. It certainly is not a threat like a enemy AI in an RTS game, and I don't want them to be one. Factorio is a logistical simulation, where any problem is solved by logistics first and foremost. Artillery is ...

Brother, I never played a game not on deathworld marathon in the last 5 years, except for the one and only SE run I am doing right now. It's not about difficulty, or disliking enemy expansion. It's about "we will remove content from vanilla progression, around which difficulty was balanced&quo...

There is a simple solution for players that find enemy expansion difficult or annoying without artillery tech. Turn off enemy expansion.

(IMHO we should be already at the point where non-IPv6-compatible hadware/software should be illegal

A protocol so good it needs to be mandatory.

The last few years have seen an increase in core count (even if they are efficiency cores in Intel's case) and cache sizes (AMD 3D V-Cache) in even mid/low level consumer CPUs, even if the single threaded performance increase is stagnating. So taking even more advantage of parralellisation/multi-th...

I understand my error now. Thanks.

I'm trying to change map gen settings after an amount of chunks have been generated. It causes desync. Any tips? local chunk_count = 0 local apply_map_gen_2 = false local on_chunk_generated = function(event) chunk_count = chunk_count + 1 if (chunk_count == 1600) then apply_map_gen_2 = true end end l...

Thanks! Partially generated chunks finishing with old settings works for me.

local count = 0 local on_chunk_generated = function(event) count = count + 1 if (count == 1681) then local surface = game.surfaces[1] local iron = "iron-ore" local copper = "copper-ore" local coal = "coal" local stone = "stone" local oil = "crude-oil&quo...

Game crashes when replaying the following save from the perspective of player Kroklion with Show GUI enabled. Crash happens when the research of weapon shooting speed 2 reaches 5%.

In the crafting gui if a recipe is clicked before the tooltip delay expires the tooltip will not appear.

Thanks for looking. Here is an example of chunk score being slow when spawners are destroyed instead of generated.

This computation is done even when it's not used for gameplay (peaceful and/or expansion disabled). Here are a list of benchmarks with different expansion parameters.

- Only online download. - Same price - Demo will be available same price is a pretty crap way to release a game without the full functionality. please price the switch version appropriately. as in, less than PC version, because, it is, technically, lesser. If anything it should cost more to compens...

Please see attached screenshot.

If two train stops have the same name except one has a leading space the train gui will have the stations grouped as if they have the same name. The train will not go to all the stations in the group.

Have you tried testing with two instances of factorio on the same computer?
