Have a look at the in-game tutorials. They actually do a pretty good job of explaining how trains and train signals work, along with some exercises to help you understand the nuances. They're available in-game using the tutorial button above the minimap.

Ah, that was the reason. Nice to know, thanks.

Was the value "not-suggested-yet" a lucky guess or did you find it somewhere?

In some maps oil can be quite far from the starting area so you'll need to go explore the map. Then you'll need to set up pumpjacks to get it out of the ground. You can use a storage tank to collect the oil and use pipes to connect the fluid outputs and inputs. Then you can either transport the oil ...

You're hopefully busy celebrating the release but once you get back to the new normal it would be nice to know how you'd want to handle translations post release. Both in regards to the issues with Altagram and in general once that's sorted. Hopefully we can find some way that translators have a cha...

Congratulations! It's an immense milestone and I hope you'll get lots of cake

Thank you for all of your hard work through the years, thank you for all the fun so far and I look forward to many more hours of gaming.

I just use the Steam version. For the record I tried editing player-data.json and removed the relevant tutorial section but it didn't work. When I looked at the file after I had run Factorio it had re-added the same values again so I guess it's controlled from somewhere else. I ended up just playing...

You guys continue to amaze me. Thank you for your impressive work!

You definitely deserve a great vacation post release!

And a beer / wine.

Also cake.


(and then get back to work on new content! )

Success! :D Wow, that took quite an effort and even as I was done they just added a new bunch, how rude ;) Still room for improvement but for now I think it's decent and hopefully that's good enough for release. I'm thinking of looking at the Factorio Web project which I believe is used for the Stea...

Best of luck for solving this. In the meantime I hope you'll be able to find a way to merge the work of Altagram and the changes we volunteers are making on Crowdin since Altagram pulled their working document.

Oh, sorry to hear that. I hope you haven't wasted too much time on this and that you can use their work post release.

I'll get on working on the remaining translations as soon as possible.

I'm taking the liberty to bump this post as it's needed to aid my translation work. What value should these tutorial settings be set to in the config file to reset them? Or should it just be removed?

Good job. Looking forward to seeing the results from Altagram and your work :) I noticed that something like 90% of the languages in Crowdin had the state valneq mentioned (0% approval) and wonder why the remaining 10% of the languages were unaffected (Danish was one of them). Was it because Altagra...

I've noticed the same thing. Good writeup.

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. This obviously also means that the source texts will be updated at some point following Altagram's English source proofreading. I'll continue my work and look forward to getting assistance from Altagram at some point. I'm happy to give back something to the game...

I'm still in doubt about how this "locale freeze" should be understood. I've begun to fix coherency, grammar, etc. after I've pushed the translation percentage to 100% as I've just recently been promoted to proofreader but would you rather I keep my hands off?

Yay, I made it to first milestone!


Now onto coherency, fixing grammar and all the oddities...

I've tried digging in the config files and I believe I've found what I was looking for in player-data.json. There is a tutorial list with a value for each of the mini-tutorials. Currently most of them have the value "suggested", except one I've just played that has the value "complete...

Oh, thanks, I forgot to add that I do know about the tutorial button but I havn't been able to find anything in that menu or any of the game menus to reset those popups. I remember when they were first added that they showed up automatically and I can only hope that they still do, otherwise a new pl...

I've tried searching but so far no cigar. As part of my translation process I've been playing through the newly updated campaign to see how the translated texts read in-game. I noticed however a lot of lacking infomation (like trains was never explained at all) and I realised that the mini-tutorials...

Hehe, thank you. I'm working happily away. I've worked my way from 69% / 18% back in March to 86% / 31% as of today, though a few others have assisted a little. Most of the work is actually streamlining translations across different entries.
