Hi, I'm currently writing a command line mod manager for the mod portal, and I noticed that downloading mods requires an account. I can't understand why that would be required, is that really necessary ? Not considering the third party app thing, as a server administrator, I should be able to simply...

I also can't reproduce as of 0.13.9. I think this can be closed as fixed.

FactoIRC is a bidirectional IRC bridge between Factorio and IRC. It comes as a plugin for the irc3 python module. It can join one or more channels and forward messages back and forth between IRC and Factorio. Some IRC commands are also provided : !rcon : Execute an RCON command and return the result...

I would also add that without this direct connect feature, no external server browser / game launchers could exist.

Now (0.13) that most items can be connected to the circuit network, I think it would make sense to be able to retrieve the amount of ammo of a gun turret via circuit network Possible uses for this could be : For signaling purposes: adding a red light next to a turret to show if it has low ammo Detec...

When using the --mp-connect command line flag, specifying only the hostname/IP part without the port (eg factorio --mp-connect 1.2.3.4) leads to the game trying to connect on port 0 instead of the default one 11.164 Joining game 1.2.3.4:0 11.165 Info PosixUDPSocket.cpp:50: Opening socket at port 0 1...

When using --mp-connect server:port to connect to a remote server, the game crashes just after attempting to connect.

On the server side, this message appears :

I just found at that my suggestion is already partially implemented, see the "Deliver" section here ?
So I change my suggestion : can we have the same thing but for the player inventory ?

Of course but if you have a large network and the item is far away it can be very long before you see any item arriving, so you have no direct feedback whether the item is available or not, you have to wait.

I think it would be a nice addition to be able to see whenever an item is requested (both from a requester chest and from a player), whether or not the request can be fullfilled. This could be indicated by showing a small number in the corner of the requested logistic slot (or next to the requested ...
