This has been fixed in 0.12.1.

Did this by any chance happen when trying to play the second or third tutorial mission?

Fixed in 0.12.1. Thanks.

Oh, dangit, did I really forget to change the gun turret's health? I'll fix it.

Turret rebalancing and combat in general is a larger topic that we want to properly focus on in the future versions. For now, the turrets should be pretty much the same as they were in 0.11, except bigger.

Dog's specifically, eh?

You can use the --autosave-interval and --latency parameters on the command line. E.g. factorio.exe --start-server map --autosave-interval 10 --latency 12 This will set autosave interval to 10 minutes and latency to 200 ms. The --latency parameter is in ticks, so that's how you go from 12 to 200 ms....

You can try editing config.ini on the computer you're trying to play on (not the server). Change the port value to something other than the default – for instance, set port=34198. You might have to set up port forwarding to forward 34198 to your computer. And yes, this seems to be yet another limita...

Unless you have some mod that add biters to another force, kill_all_units should have removed all biters, no exceptions. I'll look into that.

Actually, sorry about that, I was confused there for a while. To clear this up: Your server is up and running, there are people connected to it and they can play just fine. But you can't join the game because you can't connect to some other players. Is that right? This means that when the progress b...

There is no true alliance currently. All you can do is set cease-fire: game.forces['force 1'].set_cease_fire('force 2', true) – after this, turrets and mines of force 1 won't engage players from force 2. But the forces are still enemies, they each have their own research, they can't access each othe...

The way you check whether a port is open is by requesting something to be sent to that port and then you wait and see if it actually arrives. Which essentially is what Factorio does. Or should do, anyway. These peers should drop out and be removed from the game when the progress bar reaches the end....

Research is separate for each force and turrets will automatically engage anyone from any force other than their owner's.

Yup, that's exactly how it works. (Also UDP – Factorio uses UDP for all of its multiplayer.)

Star topology might come in a future update.

Error MultiplayerManager.cpp:107: MultiplayerManager failed: "Failed to establish connection with peer 79.x.x.x:34197." This is not the server ip and I've no idea why it would connect to a random peer on that port. It seems it wants to connect to all other peers on that port, but I assume...

You have a superfluous --mp-load-game there.

The correct command line is factorio.exe --start-server MP.zip

From OP Replaced LuaGameScript::kill_all_enemies() by LuaForce::kill_all_units(). I still cant get this to work, tried /c game.kill_all_units() /c force.kill_all_units() and a couple of hundred other variations on this..... I have no knowledge of LUA whatsoever, so maybe im missing something really...

Aha. On Windows, when a process reads file, it locks it so other processes can't write it. This might be it. I still wonder how it could've been deleted when it was locked.

I agree it shouldn't be deleted.

Can you share the map you tried to load? The lotsaoil.zip one.

Also do you have any anti-virus software installed on your computer? Do you know if it was doing something when this happened? Such as scanning your PC.

That is quite possible, yes. It would be nice if you could give us a way to reproduce it so we can fix it. We made some changes to the structure of the AI and pathfinding code specifically because of your enemies mod, but we did them quite late – just two weeks ago, actually – so it's not as polishe...
