Factorio Forums

Hallo.

I have the following issue when i want to start a new game in single player.

Error while running event level::on_init()
__level__/freeplay.lua:58: attempt to index global 'global' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
__level__/freeplay.lua:58: in function 'on_init'
__core__/lualib/event_handler.lua:69: in function <__core__/lualib/event_handler.lua:64>

Thanks for helping.

Right, for the puzzle.
Which might trivialize this puzzle also elsewhere, but I'm guessing that mods can turn on/off this feature per surface ?

Also, any hope to see (mod) support for non-square entities (I guess they are now, seeing how crushers aren't square ?), or even non-rectangular entities ("Factorio Tetris") ?
Thinking about it some more, what makes it a puzzle, is inputs/outputs being restricted to specific tiles, any way to have this for non-fluids (while still being UPS-friendly) ?
A bit like how Renai Transportation does it with its hatches that can catch thrown items that can be installed anywhere on the assembler (except here they would be restricted to specific spots, just like fluid inputs/outputs).

You should verify your files if you're on steam, or remove the old install then reinstall the game. global doesn't exist anymore in 2.0 so it shouldn't be trying to reference it at all in a new game. It implies you've got old files hanging around.

I have installed the files again and also removed the file forlder for factorio.

If i start a new game the same notice like before and i do not have mods on

I can’t figure out if this is a bug or am I doing something wrong?

If you mean the missing Foundry, then, huh, you might have stumbled on a bug ?? (EDIT : Also, it actually shows up next to electric furnace.)

Wait, did you do both pre-requisites ?

I really didn’t do the second research, how could I not have seen this , thanks for the help (first launch, on the first I poke everything, I don’t know what appears and where)

But how did you know about the existence of Foundry (and how to unlock it) if you hadn't seen it on the research tree ??
(At which point you would have seen both tech pre-requisites, and that its own research isn't green yet.)

It’s trivial that I may not notice ordinary things, for example, when I’m looking for glasses that I’m holding in my hand
I think I need to stop playing factorio 9 hours a day

Yeah, this game does suck you in so much that you don't even notice how tired you are. (And then you make mistakes.)
Take care !

Still working on getting my ass into space in my first map (Marathon with my own expensive recipes mod) and enjoying it so far, except for the fluid system which is a big step backwards.

It is the default option,
(at least on a new, clean, Factorio folder : the Space Age official mods come in pre-activated),
and since you're the first person I see to complain about this, it's more likely that it's your own setup that is somehow at fault here.

Do you have any ideas for further development of Factorio(Factorio 3.0)? Can you share a roadmap?

I believe the next major update will be Factorio 2.1, similar to how 1.1 was released after the initial release, with lots of QoL and bugfixes.

According to your message:

Purchases from our website or GOG can redeem a free expansion Steam key.

I bought Factorio Space Age on GOG - (I wanted to support both beloved things: the Factorio game and GoG platform).
How to redeem the Steam key now?

Assuming this kind of switcheroo is not blocked, here's how to do it :
1.) Get the GoG key.
2.) Input it in your Wube profile.
3.) On the same page, link your Wube profile to your Steam account to get a Steam key.

Wow, that was tricky. It worked! thank you BlueTemplar!
