I've always heard the music during the intro, but since the music defaults to such a low relative volume, I've never really noticed it ingame until a couple days ago. I heard this odd sound sorta like wind, and then I turned the music up and oh my god it's real. I have the music volume at about doub...

Many people play with mods, which end up disabling Steam achievements. Not sure how representative these figures are as a whole. This. I've only played vanilla for maybe 30 hours total. Started off with perhaps 12 hours vanilla, then I dived into crazy modded. Went back to vanilla for ~15 hours for...

On all other forums I've used over the years, when I submit a new post, the forum takes me to that new post.
Factorio is the only forum that requires me to click something to view the post I just made.

It's very odd.

I LIKE the toolbelt. I use a steelseries merc stealth keyboard that lets me access 1 thru 0 with my left hand without moving my hand and - for switching rows. I also play modded and end up with 3-4 toolbelt rows by late game. If you're going to think about something like this, then increase inventor...

Would this be possible: When the player is in a vehicle and has 1+ personal roboports with construction bots in inventory: If vehicle health < 90% AND vehicle speed < 50% of max bot speed, OR vehicle speed = 0, THEN attempt repair, ELSE do nothing? I've never done factorio modding before, but I'm in...

Try /c game.player.force.technologies["fluid-handling"].enabled = true I'll include that to the migration Will this be in a mod update soonish? I have a save that's around 15 hours in and I'd rather not use a command to fix it since it'll disable achievements. And I'd rather not have to s...

"Working as implemented" is the phrase we use for this sort of bug around the office. I'm struggling to come up with any sort of scenario where most users, or indeed any user, would want to entirely erase a completely different game. I doubt this was "designed" this way. Seems t...

This is not a bug as it is working as intended, if you want it changed, make a development suggestion. I disagree. This one has already cost tens of hours across multiple players. Anyone who has more than one game going at a time (say, a single and multiplayer save) is affected. 1) Start a new game...

Well since someone felt the need to put up a copy of Autofill on the mod portal I guess I don't have to worry about doing any more work on this. The version on the mod portal doesn't work, and the one on github apparently only works with 0.12.... I'm just starting out, placing burner miners and it'...

After some input from the factorio modding discord channel, I have created a new map preset specifically for bob's mod ores, available here. I suppose I can close this thread now.

I reroll maps a lot until I get something I like, and is there a way to save the map resource settings between launches? Especially for when I'm using Bob's mods or the like... Bob's mods has over 20 resource settings and manually setting all of them every single time is getting really old. I want a...

Apologies if this has been posted before somewhere. I was just thinking it would be really cool if we could have an arctic biome. Perhaps even with snow/ice and frozen lakes/oceans that can melt to liquid lakes/oceans if it gets too warm. (pollution based warming anyone?) Was also thinking it would ...

Bump. Quote of my post in suggestions forum. So I've queued up a few hundred of something early game, say belts in groups of 5. And then about a third of the way in, I realize I need something of x right now. As it is, my only options are to either wait for the rest to finish crafting or spam shift-...

This is why you set up circuit controlled automated oil cracking. If petro < light oil, crack light oil to petro. If light oil < heavy oil, crack heavy to light.

Agree with the op. An option to disable pausing with the research window up would be good.

Good idea. We do need more colors. Blue and Yellow would be nice. Or White and Black. Or both sets. More circuits for the circuit god.

Not that I'm aware of. I was just typing a standard x.x.x.x:x ipv4 address.

When you open a blueprint book, use a blueprint, and press Q, the blueprint is moved into your inventory instead of back to the blueprint book. Maybe this is intended behavior, but I disagree with this design choice. For example, I have a rail building book. When I want to build rails, I open the b...

When the server stops responding, the clients do as well; I've just been force closing them. I will contact the server owner and will see if we can do a more prolonged test to see if the clients ever start responding again, and get the server log. There are no client logs of this that I know of, si...
