Connection issues with IPV6 and savegame question

Post by Piolp »

So, I can connect to any of my friends sporting IPV4 adress no problem, but my internet and router all set up IPV6 only, no IPV4 adress, and though I have port forwarded the 34197 through my local ip on router whenever a friend puts in my IPV6 plus the port, it tells him its an invalid adress. Is there something special I need to know about them connecting to me? ALSO is there a way to find a specific savegame file so that if I am not online but I was the last one playing our game I can put it in a drop box for friends to dl and play and then put in drop box again if others arent on? I know that is convoluted but since nobody can connect to me I cant play on our shared map unless others are on to host and we are trying to get our rocket asap and I have the most play time.... ironic that since I cant host they cant dl for me eh?

As a side note I downloaded the game via steam and it uploads my saves, though I dont see them localy on my machine anywhere that I saw described on the wiki, I dont know if steam deletes after uploading to steam cloud or what... if so I will just have to uninstall and rebuy the game without stupid steam.... I kinda hate steam sometimes....

If you dislike Steam cloud, you can basically deactivate it for Factorio

also your savegames should be in

Code: Select all

%appdata%\Factorio
(just paste it to adressbar in your explorer) this should redirect you to something like

Code: Select all

C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Roaming\Factorio
BTW:
Why did my factorio installer create some shortcuts for config, mods and saves and the steam installer did not?
This would help a LOT of people (and mods here) when i look at the topics since a few days ago.
