Linux Support!

IS AWESOME. It works absolutely perfectly! "dpkg -i factorio*deb" was absolutely all that I needed to do, aside from running the game itself. Simply double clicking the .deb works fine as well, as expected. I already had the 32bit libraries installed, thanks to Steam and Java requiring th...

Re: Support from the U.S.?

The IndieGoGo campaign works with Paypal, so any way that you can pay with Paypal will work to support the campaign.

Re: DNS Failing at factorio.com?

Change the TTL to a very short value, such as 3600. This is the time (seconds) that a DNS server will keep the resolution cached, before asking upstream DNS if it has changed. It is also safe to CNAME the main domain name. If you can do it as short as 1800, go for it. It is "bad manners" t...

Yeah, but it's like a cheat that you don't need to find or to learn about. If you have the possibility within 1 keystroke, you will use it sooner or later.
Self control is a virtue.

Re: Plain Campaign

How do i get out of alpha, and get to a newly generated world? By purchasing the game over at the IndieGoGo campaign. You should really play through the tutorial though, it's only 3 short levels, and as good as Xisuma is, it really helps to learn the controls. The campaign isn't very forgiving. Onc...

Re: DNS Failing at factorio.com?

I see the problem here. The domain itself is pointed to what looks like old garbage, but the www.factorio.com subdomain is pointed correctly. The admins should point factorio.com to the same as the www. subdomain, and set up a redirect to force the browser to go to www.factorio.com (or without the w...

You seem to be doing a great job of reinventing many wheels (genres). Keep up the good work!

Re: Guide for Level Creating and Modding

Here is the example of our testing script we have been using during the developement: At long last, we have the rest of the "create a target chest"! Thank you, this will greatly accelerate me once my key arrives. "Entity is everything on the map except tiles." Good to know. Time...

Re: Gamespeed setting

It is probably quite clear, that this would be limited to singleplayer. The mechanics for time manipulation in multiplayer is already well known. In co-op, you just share the controls with everyone else, and in PvP modes the only one available is pause, which is also shared (anyone can unpause). Ho...

Re: Guide for Level Creating and Modding

I looked through demo level 2's control.lua hoping to find out how to generate cheaty chests, but that doesn't seem to be handled with lua. Being able to manipulate chest inventories would be a lot of fun, especially on a Feed The Beast style map where the goal is to make an insane amount of items a...

Re: Gamespeed setting

This would be most excellent. Also as mentioned elsewhere, being able to change the view and zoom while paused would be a killer feature.

Re: [Suggestion] Website page name

In the phpBB admin control panel, go to Cookie Settings and change the domain. Also change the domain under Server Settings, just below it. That really should be all that's needed to change domains. Make sure your load balancer is directing traffic correctly as well. I don't know what software you'r...
