Moved to won't implement. It doesn't mean, that there will be never something like this in the vanilla game. Why did you move it to Outdated/Not implemented ? (btw. the sub-forum is misspelled as "imlpemented") I thought the Ideas and Suggestions forum was for implementation into the vani...

Any chance of getting a set of dummy items we can use for signals? I think it would be cleaner than using actual items. I second that. It would be very confusing for the player, especially in multiplayer games, whether the item used is an actual item or just a dummy variable. Right now you can choo...

There is this mod: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=7702 which introduces infinite research, so you can waste your science packs, but get no benefits for it (useless research). But later in the thread they discuss adding infinite research that gives small bonuses for severa...

If biters or spitters path near it, they will be attracted by the radar because it is a military building. Radar will be destroyed but everything else will be left. I highly doubt that they would only destroy the radar, because aliens will usually also attack transport belts, inserters, power poles...

Already discussed in these threads: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12206 https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=974 I would like having that option, but in my opinion there shouldn't just be one checkbox that inverts the selection, but instead two radi...

This is not a bug, it's a known issue: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=3492

I'm guessing he placed the rar file in the mods directory but the game reads only zip? So unpacking it will most likely solved it Just wanted to post that. The download is a .rar-Archive, and on systems that have an extractor that can read rar (like WinRAR) the symbol is the same as for zip. I didn...

Actually I made a change for 0.12, that the slots in the assembler can hold even more than the usual stack limit when the recipe needs it. OMG yes, that was the one thing that bugged me the most with Factorio. I've been using ShadowsMegaModpack and the extra exoskeleton levels had requirements of ~...

I can confirm that this happens, with the demo and the main game, on both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
Interestingly, other languages using special characters (Chinese zh-CN, Japanese, Hebrew, Russian) always work.

The wiki can explain it better than me: Splitters Basically, a splitter has two inputs and two outputs. It will evenly distribute all the items that come in to the outputs, making sure they stay on the same belt side/lane. You can use it to: Split a belt into two belts Fully load a belt that current...

According to the log you posted you've been trying to play the game using ShadowsMegaModpack. And shortly after the other player (Wassi) joined, the game desynced/crashed. Please make sure you're both using the same version of Factorio (0.11.22) and the same mod pack. Currently that is ShadowsMegaMo...

My copy of Factorio is installed in D:\Games\Factorio and I have had no problems with that. http://puu.sh/hXLVe/2b91bb8325.png As you can see in the screenshot the config, mods and saves folder are actually links to %appdata%\Factorio\foldername. If you are using the zip-version the folders are actu...

AFAIK the game has no pre-requesites (even then, the problem would show when launching), and I think the base game files are kept in the installation directory, so a new install should resolve your problems. You might find additional files in Application Data (enter %appdata%\Factorio in explorer). ...

I really like that idea. I don't even know a game using the second screen as info-screen. I know of the GTA San Andreas Monitor mod, which allows you to view and change a lot of information (map, health, ammo, location) and works as a client-server system to control it from a second computer, but if...

I don't see how a delay timer on smart inserters is useful, but then again I don't know what you're trying to accomplish with it. In FFF #66 kovarex explained that they would add to the circuit network and allow more sensors, receivers and options to manipulate the signal. So instead of adding this ...

I just tried myself, seems to actually be a bug.
I added to the bug thread already open: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 224#p83248

Can confirm that scenario pack downloading is not working.

What about just swapping it? Making a Pipe cost 2 Iron Plates and a Gear Wheel 1 plate? Would seem fine to me. But then Underground Pipes would have to be adjusted because they would be particularly costly then especially at the early game stages. Underground Pipes would be even cheaper compared to...

The scenarios are only available using the auto-updater integrated in the game. You need to download Factorio and install/unzip it. After launching it for the first time it will ask for your factorio.com login details (user name/password). If you have furnace attendant tier or higher the updater wil...

Factorio doesn't even have standalone/dedicated servers right now. (hoping for 0.12 btw) Server-wide this would only make sense if there was the possibility that one server coordinates several games, and there was an ingame-chat and a server-wide chat. As ssilk already wrote, integrating one global ...
