I've changed config-path.cfg to "__PATH__executable__/../../config"

Attempting to Launch
"E:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\factorio\bin\x64\factorio.exe ...

With small resolutions (I play in windowed mode and it reverts to this size every game start) mods with a large amount of dependencies push the buttons off the edge of the screen.

how does --mod-directory work?
I have a steam-version of factorio.

same for me, and same question ...

Using the exact same mods as you, I can get it running fine.

What recipe isn't working?
Is that a crash? Or just the error log logging stuff?

CPU: i7-3820 @ 3.6GHz
GPU: GTX 680
RAM: 32GB

After fiddling around with the Graphics Settings, it turns out it was caused by "Video Memory Usage"
"High" works perfectly fine with everything.
"All" causes the FPS issues.

The times when it stopped working must have been when I tried a fresh install.

I'm losing FPS across my entire computer when Factorio has alot of trees or smoke on the screen.
It only happens on random instances of the game, and can occur on a fresh map.
It drops to about 15fps and affects my second monitor too.
It also occurs when the game is paused.
There isn't a spike in ...

I ran into an interesting issue today.
I'm playing with:
Assembly
Logistics
Mining
Modules
Power
Warfare
Adjustable Inserters
Config
Library
Research Progress

Basically Factorio plus Upgrades

And the Water Pumps aren't in any of them.
So I added Bob's Plates and now there are recipes for all the ...

This isn't the mod for in game. This is a similar named separate program. Download the zip from the first post and copy the files to your computer and run the program.

I used the rail segment in the top right corner to create the blueprint

North is indicated in the blueprint by the chain signal.
You have it on the right ...

By Steam I meant the game. Mod portal. Not the manual download and move to folder.

For your second question. I'm not sure. My mods/saves are in my steam folder I think. I'll have to wait until I get home to check.

Mod you install from steam go to that appdata folder?

There has to be a folder or shortcut there.
In the top level of the folder.
Steamapps/common/factorio/mods

Double check your steam folder for the mods folder. If it's a folder or a shortcut.

Change Foreman to reference that folder.

What method did you use to install the game?
Zip/installer or steam?

Steam saves everything to the steam folder.
Zip uses whatever folder you extracted to.
The installer uses %appdata%/Factorio

Also, what version of the game are you running?
Finally, have you checked for dependencies?
Bob's ...

Any chance you can format that with new lines? Or use notepad++

I use Foreman all the time with bobs mods. Are you sure it's bobs that's causing it? What other mods do you have?

Double check your mods folder/game folder in the settings.

Navigating the mods list by arrow keys doesn't update the information on the right while highlighting the mod as yellow.

You're going to need wood anyway, so carry wood, and when you want a dozen or so circuits, make a dozen of the boards first. They don't need to be finished before you can start the circuit craft

That's a known issue and IIRC can't be fixed because of the order the recipes are unlocked.

As your said, manually make the wooden boards first.

Otherwise, pick up the circuits from your factory completed.

With Train conditions getting more complicated it can be a little annoying/time consuming setting a new outpost for a train having to copy across the settings from a previous one.

My request/suggestion is to allow copy/paste the Train Schedule like we do for item filters.

And with trains as well ...
