Saves and replays

[Reygan]

Does exist any way to extract map (blueprint.dat) from save? Or does exist any way to edit saves?
Does present in game replay recording/playing function?

Save can be migrated to "scenario" by running factorio from the commandline as follows (let's presume we have save foo.zip in the saves directory):

Code: Select all

./bin/prod/factorio --map2scenario foo

Factorio will start, load the save, store it as a blueprint (foo in the scenarios folder) and then quit. This is kind of a "development feature" so it is not really user friendly.

Oh, thanks, its all that i need
And about second question?

Replays are disabled at the moment. I believe I read it was sync issues and that we'll likely get it fixed as a work up to multiplayer.

Exactly. They just don't work, I tried one recently, but soon I got a "out of sync checksum error".

Understood.

Does factorio have any else useful command line parameters? Or some like --h, to i look them myself?

[slpwnd]

There is --help but the map2scenario is probably the only one really useful.

I wondered that for a while: For me it ignores all params and starts the game... (MacOS)

Code: Select all

ssilk@ssilkpro [/Applications/factorio.app/Contents/MacOS] >  ./factorio --map2scenario /Users/ssilk/Library/Application\ Support/factorio/saves/Puzzle1.zip

... or any other option inclusive help.

[slpwnd]

I see, that is probably some MacOS-package-thing. I am on MacOS as well but have a raw binary before being packaged, though it should be possible to use console params somehow even for packages ...

[ssilk]

Any chance to get this working on Mac for v0.9.9

(I ask if I should create a windows vm for that)

Someone mind posting how this should look exactly for Windows? My attempts at trying to get the command line run the correct command all fail. (No idea what I'm doing really.)

Simple like tha daylight
Right click on factorio.exe -> create shortcut -> right click shortcut -> properties ->
-> in "target" field append " --map2scenario YourSaveName"
Next time, if you want to convert other save you should open shortcut properties again and just change save name. Or create another shortcut.
Dont forget about space between factorio.exe and hyphens
Or you can use bat(cmd) file.

Thanks for the help. Though I think I found a little quirk with this command, it doesn't like modded saves, sandbox (godmode), or both.
(I started a sandbox game and selected to research all technologies. I then saved, quit, and tried to convert the map. Right after Factorio finished loading up, but before the main menu, it would crash.)
Looks like I'll have to find another way to unlock all technologies in the map editor.

Also you can turn all technologies researched by using console(~ key)

Code: Select all

game.player.force.researchalltechnologies()

Or some special technology, for example:

Code: Select all

game.player.force.technologies["toolbelt"].researched=true

There is no way to edit technologies in map editor. In factorio nearly all things edited by scripts directly in game. In editor you just painting the landscape and placing some entities/resources. If you want to edit map technologies you should create control.lua file in map folder and insert in there codes, that i writed higher.

I am also unable to pass factorio any arguments from terminal on macos. It just runs without arguments. Anyone else managed to do map2scenario on a mac??

How do you go to the commandline

How would one do this on mac?
