Ideally have the expansion modified/multiplied by the evolution factor, so the more evolution the more expansion. Per the wiki, the time between expansions already averages lower with larger expansions as evolution increases . The interval between enemy expansions is global, and the higher enemy ev...

uuuuuuuuuuuuuu thats new? but the "mute game while not in focus" is not in there, or am i blind? been there for years as a way to access normally confi.ini only settings. directsound-global-focus is the last option in the sound settings section in 1.1.48 for me. Things are named exactly t...

CPU usage is a percentage across all cores, but Factorio is primarily limited by single core performance and RAM latency. It is multi-threaded but there are limits to how much can be done in threads so single core performance is more important. There's not much you can do about it, there are just to...

Hold Ctrl+Alt when pressing the Settings button on the main menu and a new button will appear called 'The rest' - it has all (or at least most) of the unsupported settings in it. Basically anything you can set in the config.ini but isn't in one of the other setting menus.

you can do it, theres a hidden option somewhere and it works like a charm (i dont udnerstand why they dont put a checkbox somewhere tho) because directsound-global-focus a) only works in Windows, b) only when the audio is using directsound, and c) they have no desire to support any issues that migh...

But then the question is if factorio lacked video memory, why did she not use the video card completely, but only 2Gb of the available 6Gb? Can I force you to use it more? I'm not aware of any 1050 that has 6GB of RAM - nVidia only lists 2/3/4GB cards. You might want to double check what card you h...

Mods can change what the victory condition is, which ones are you running? In particular, Space Extension changes the win condition to having launched a bunch of stuff into space to build a ship rather than just a single launch.

If by stackable, you mean can not be stacked under any circumstances, then yes. Check for the "not-stackable" flag, if the item has an equipment_grid, or if it has an inventory - if any of those are true then it's not stackable. Otherwise, if stack-size is 1 then it won't stack in a player...

The flag is only used for items which should not ever be stacked in any circumstance - mostly things like blueprints/planners. Other things, even with a stack size of 1, can be stacked in some circumstances. Most notably in machine inputs so they can be used in a recipe that requires more than 1 of ...

Your image example seems to be different from what the thread is about. You appear to be showing the mod’s version number, whereas I believe the thread was about showing the game revision number, not just major.minor. Second paragraph of OP is about showing mod versions. Only the first is about the...

Looks like level.datmetadata needs to be included in the list of things to not delete. Removing it makes the game complain about level.dat missing. Clearing out the other files oddly still didn't remove the old GUI. It didn't crash anymore, but there's code that's SUPPOSED to remove the old button, ...

Attached is the original save file that still runs. Thanks for looking!

Nothing attached there. Make sure you give it time to upload and double check after posting.

Thanks for de-mystifying my many files LOL! I'm running the current version of Factorio. Just downloaded the latest version this morning. The one you uploaded has a second nested directory inside the zip - there should only be one. It's still missing files though when that's fixed. Upload your back...

The fact it's fine out of full screen makes me wonder if it's a VSync issue. Do you have that turned on in the options? You might try toggling it to see if it makes a difference. I've seen quite a few problems over the years of TVs not reporting the right screen information to PCs causing weird issu...

Listen to on_resource_depleted as you mentioned. For a start add a simple "print" to the handler and see if it's called. The rest of the steps will all happen in this event handler. I believe the entity in the event is the RESOURCE ENTITY that was depleted, not a mining drill/pumpjack. Yo...

There's https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_resource_depleted that would work - it'd have to catch the resource depleting then make sure nothing like prospector was activating, then if there's still nothing he could either spawn stone ore or change the miner to an assembler with miner...

Didn't there used to be an start-up error if fast-replaceable entities weren't the same size? (or close) I see the problem as it can replace the first entity, but collides with another. Even if it "could" replace the other one, it is an exception that *might* only work with pipes (a big a...

Part of the reason why my steam temperatures are what I've set them to is because there's an element of hard coding that says you can't go above 1000C. I think there is a way to increase it, but I can't remember the specifics. An alternate approach could be to modify the water power per degree stat...

Yeah if using the steam version the game uses one in the steam install directory instead, so you'd have to copy/paste that one instead. I have all the cloud stuff off entirely and it still seems to be using the cloud one. It's in your steam install, in my case as C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdat...

AFAIK, there is no way to do so ingame. The info is saved in your player-data.json (each shortcut stores the name, whether it's enabled, and if it's docked) and gets removed if the shortcut stops existing, and mods can't affect what shortcuts are displayed on the bar. You could manually copy/paste t...
