Factorio Forums

I have found this issue that may indicate some fault in path resolution logic:
Factorio suddenly doesn't like spaces, neither in game path, nor in save names.

How I got this, is really confusing, so I am posting this in whole:

====== 8< ============================

I have these folders:

Notice, that there is both Factorio and Factorio 0.17 folders - the former is 0.16.51 install, 0.17 is separate one for testing.

This is what I thought was the issue at first!

Next, I add some random mod, let the game restart, and sync a save with the mods...


After restart I am greeted with following message:


Notice the path!

Then I land in the main menu.

After few tries I usually end up in the game, and everything looks to be working, though.

Then I rename the folders with other installations:


Try to sync save with this mod again, and...:


removing and readding the mod still gives me the last message.

Finally I change the folder name to include underscore instead of space:


And while synchronizing I get this:


But wait, the name of the save... yes, it has a space!
So I quickly loaded the save (without sync), and resaved it:

And presto:

Conclusion: don't use spaces.

Thanks for the report.
Fixed for 0.17.5 ... again

Thank you!
