I ran into the exact same issue with my Thruster Throttle Control logic - it refuses to Pump any fluid when "<Planet> = 3"....

So, I added a "Timer" circuit that counts to 600 ticks (ie; 10 seconds). If "Thruster Fuel = 0" AND "T>570", then it will activate the pump for ~30 Ticks, or about 600 ...

Factorio is not a true-to-life Electrical Engineering Simuator. :-) You have not included a Blueprint string, so we cannot test your Setup or see the Combinator specifics.....


You can implement a Latch with a single combinator, by wiring the "Output" to the "Input", and adding some Conditions ...

The tooltip says “No input fluid”.

The Fluid port for the Top reactor appears to be connected directly to the Output of your Cryoplant; NOT to a pipe or Tank. So the excess Fluid on the tank can never make it into the reactors, since the Cryoplant’s ports are one-way (output). You can see this in ...

Per the Factorio Wiki :
In multiplayer, achievements can only be earned if the player has spent more than 50% of the time online.

You can “catch up” to the server by remaining connected for a few hours (or days….) and this will re-enable Achievements for the Client.

Or, edit the Achievement file ...

I do not know anything specific about the Factorio infrastructure's limits beyond what can be deduced publicly from DNS etc. The "1 HTTP request per second average" suggestion is purely from my own Experience in writing Bots for other APIs, and remaining "under the radar". If anybody is looking at ...

According to the Factorio Wiki you can use "--load-game FILE" to automatically load a game. This request is to make the "--load-game" parameter implied IF AND ONLY IF the only other argument passed is a FILE. Ex
C:\path\to\factorio\bin\x64\factorio.exe C:\path\to\savegame.zip

The rationale for ...

I have tried this on Vulcanus with Lava lakes, and it is the same behaviour as Nauvis' water - cannot place Tile blueprints with a "normal Click", if there is non-land-tiles underneath the South East corner of the Blueprint. And the same results on Fulgora with Oil Ocean tiles, and Gleba with Blue ...

Use Shift-Space to “pause” the game first; then use Escpar to open the Menu. This leaves the Map/Remote View “as-is”.


I think you may have rebound keys, because in the default controls shift-space shoots stuff, and does nothing in remote view.
'pause' defaults to the 'pause' key (which my ...

You will (almost) never receive fully correct information on API rate limits in Public, because this same knowledge is also VERY valuable to “the bad guys”. The published limits are often much lower than the actual limits, until they are suddenly enforced.

A more useful point to consider is that ...

Yes, the tooltips appear if you put your mouse cursor over something.

Move your mouse to somewhere else, like the edge of the screen or some of the blank space in the Quickbar.

I'm curious, how do I load the main menu simulations as a save?


They are located in the “data/base/menu-simulations” folder, in your Factorio installation folder. Copy them to your User’s saves/ location and you can then “Load Game”. They are all “editor scenarios”, and have some rough edges ...

I can't reproduce Factorio mistaking a folder with a file, or trying to use folder's timestamp.

Sorry, I think we have a misunderstanding as to what is being Reported? The Savegame ZIP file itself is fine , I can open it, read contents out of it, works great. The ZIP format is one of the oldest in Computer Science, and decompressors have learned to be very tolerant of missing metadata.

The ...

The file format appears to be self-created by the Factorio dev team; it is a dump straight from the internal (binary) representation in the game.

"0b" is the entirety of the Value;
"00" is a NULL space
"0e" is the start of the next achivement, which is named "visit-vulcanus" (aka "76 69 73 69 74 ...

You need to install the "HEX Editor" plugin.

Plugins Menu --> Plugins Admin, Search


After it is installed, enable it in the Plugins Menu --> HEX-Editor --> View in HEX

The "random characters" are the Data itself. The Factorio Wiki gives specific information on which achievements use integer/bool/double types etc, but it is out-of-date for 2.0.
