Re: Friday Facts #254 - No research queue for you

If the dev team ultimately doesn't believe this is worth putting in the base game, then perhaps a compromise? Talk to the developers of the research queue mods and find out what limitations of the mod API are preventing them from their 'ideal' implementation. For example, it would be nice if they we...

Re: Friday Facts #254 - No research queue for you

I'm also disappointed that the queue has been cancelled. If you're not going to have a queue, then can you please make the 'research finished' screen be less of an interruption? It's really frustrating to be working on something closely and suddenly he snapped into a very different context. Notify m...

Re: How to see errors and logs?

Welp, figured that out. Turns out the mod I was working on had a broken 'release' script that would neglect to include the lua source files when bundling up the .zip archive. I have resolved that issue, and am now seeing my log messages appear as expected! hooray!

How to see errors and logs?

Hi folks, I'm new to modding, but not to programming. I'm working on a macbook, since it's where I have all my programming tools set up. Something is going wrong with the mod I'm working on, and I can't find the error output anywhere. I tried `tail` ing the `factorio-current.log` file, but I didn't ...

Re: Give feedback: Tier colours

Other games seem to be converging on a grey -> white -> green -> blue -> purple -> orange/yellow scheme for tiers, and it might be nice for new players (like me...) to already know the progression. what do y'all think of that?
