A frame of animation from the beacon in Factorio 0.6, for historical perspective: basic-beacon.png The return to electrical arcs (blue here, across the top and somewhat in the middle) is an interesting cycle of design iteration. That was the 0.1.0 - 0.5.3 lab graphic. It was put on beacons when the...

Hi,

thank you for your answer. I'll try it. Do you have any idea how to get the exact date time in the game and then to react to specific the time ? Is it possible at all?

Thanks

I use clockwork and timetools for this. clockwork allows the time to be modified

I found that Factorio put al lot of load to CPU even when in pause mode on the Mac OS Catalina 10.15.3 Running Factorio also puts heavy load on a MacBook Pro, a pretty advanced machine thought Usually just zoom in as far as possible and pausing helps lower CPU usage while paused. If you look at the...

If possible, I'll try and make a save the next time I catch it happening. This has been classified as normal behavior and is not considered a bug. More data is not necessary. what?

Welp that sucks, you can port it to .17 but it does give error.

Ok I made a mod:

Amazing, any hope for a version on the stable release?

I was able to sit down just now and play with this a bit. At first it seemed like the same thing as an electric pole only tinier. - auto-draws connections So this was just a conflict with 'Lighted Electric Poles +' https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Optera/LightedPolesPlus It is kind of interesting, if ...

I agree with this request. Why not https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ConnectionBox ? Yeah not sure why I didn't look there for an updated file. I tried modifying the info json with no luck and then posted the reply. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, the new graphics look a lot better too!

I agree with this request. You don't need copper wires for electric poles to read circuit network contents. And the auto-connect electric poles is annoying when trying to manage where power is and just creates clutter. I know you can remove all wires but its tedious after awhile, then you have the n...

just sounds like you want to rush I mean, it's only been seven years. As a modder I look forward to the game being stable and the end of feature drift. Yeah and I understood that viewpoint, I was just comparing the release cycle to the previous ones. aha no doubt, I think you speak for the majority...

Given that, and the relatively short timeframe for 1.0 release, the update of the statistics GUI has really just been a style update, no new features or heavy logic rewriting. Does this mean we will be losing out on a lot of potential features for other interfaces as well? Stating a short time fram...

Simplest option is probably to just use the .zip version. That version will store your mods and saves within subdirectories and is fully self contained and portable, so you can run it from another drive (or even a usb stick). I do use that version :) but running internal vs external is just a lot m...

You can use
"use-system-read-write-data-directories=false" in config-path.cfg, this is what the ZIP contains, then the saves are stored in a folder "saves" in your Factorio-folder.

All right, thanks I'll try and figure that out!

Hello, My computer resets its image on reboot which is usually fine however lately it randomly goes into standby while on DC without the ability to recover resulting in loss of save data.
