I'm working on a cross server system that makes multiple Factorio servers act as one interconnected one and our players wants to be able to have the game blueprints library shared between all the servers they have so that they don't have to manually update it on each server. For that I need read/wri...

I also require this information and access for a cross server sync feature I have implemented. I can't link spidertron remotes or blueprints/decon/update planners properly on the toolbar when switching servers due to this.

Mod Pack String is a string format I'm proposing for exchanging a complete mod pack setup between client and server tools that deal with mods. They are similar to Blueprint Strings and for example allow a user to easily transfer a pack of mods including the mod settings between different mod and ser...

I wonder why they put the server description in the server tags instead of you know... the description. The description field used to have a prohibitively small 120 character (!) size limit which is why abusing tags as the description became the norm; it was the only way to do it. In FFF #304 Sanqu...

map-gen-settings.json need to be specified with the --map-gen-settings command line option and is used in conjunction with the --create to create a save from the command line. i.e. you would be running something like this from a terminal: $ path/to/factorio-executable --map-gen-settings path/to/map-...

Make sure you're port forwarding UDP and not TCP for Factorio. Other than that if direct connect to the server works for Minecraft it should also work for Factorio.

I'd say the concerns around load times and performance are more important (to me personally). As for the mod portal, that's easy to solve: advocate for the size limit to be raised. 'Cause, yeah, disk space is cheap in comparison these days. The file format makes no difference to the performance of ...

There's more to it than just disk space, the mod portal currently has a maximum file size of 262.1 MB and we already see mod authors employing lossy PNG compression in order to make their mods fit into that file size limit. Supporting AVIF would enable mod authors to deliver higher quality sprites i...

Doesn't build order and orientation affect the throughput? Does the measured values change if you build reverse to the flow, same direction as the flow, or in a random order? Does the measured values change if you change the orientation of the build?

Are you by any chance running on Hyper-V? There's an issue with one of the recent updates breaks networking.

An international wire transfer usually has a transfer fee in the € 5 range so even if you could do that it would be pretty terrible in terms of efficiency.

Looking at the packet capture I see a normal handshake followed by a normal stream of packets from the client and only 3 packets from the server the last of which has a hole of 4 missing packets between it (see attached image). Given that the server is complaining about the client requesting a out o...

Since this still happens without mods what I linked to is indeed not the issue here. There is not much to go by in the log files however. Try adding --verbose to the startup option of the server and client, as this may provide more clues in the logs. If it doesn't the next step is to do a packet cap...

The way you usually deal with event handlers registered at runtime is to store all the related state that made you register them into the global table, and then re-register all of the handlers again in the on_load event based on the state you stored in global.

If the size of blueprint-storage.dat is ~1kB then it's most likely empty. If there are blueprint-storage backup files in the directory you may try copying them over blueprint-storage.dat (assuming that one is empty, if not make sure to keep a backup of it!) Otherwise if you have a save you know you ...

trains_count is marked as read only but its description mentions writing to it (emphasised by me). https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaEntity.html#LuaEntity.trains_count [quote]trains_count :: uint [Read] Amount of trains related to this particular train stop. Includes train stopped at this trai...

btw I am using the rxi/json.lua library, see here: https://github.com/rxi/json.lua You should be using game.table_to_json() rather than a lua json library as it will be much faster for large data structures due to it being implemented in C++. Now for starters, I would like to have a list of all sta...

The host should be able to change the autosave interval either in the multiplayer hosting settings that appears when you go through the "host saved game" dialog, or by typing /config into the chat and adjusting it in the dialog that appears.
