Factorio Forums

At least when the game is set to English, it rejects using Polish characters to name, for example, space platforms. I have my keyboard set to Polish and to get Polish characters, I have to enter notepad, type the name there, copy it and paste into game - then it works.

In older versions of Factorio, this was allowed and in my opinion should be supported again.

Czesc! (no polish characters for me either but that's my keyboard locale choice, not a bug.)

Welcome to the club , Linux user. Are you on Linux Mint, like me?

Yep

To clarify the bug a bit:

I have a normal QWERTY keyboard. Some keys, like a, change into ą, when ALT is held. When I hold ALT and try to type, nothing happens. I thought perhaps you are filtering out Polish chars, but you can copy Polish text from outside the game and paste it just fine.

I am on Linux Mint and using the Polish keyboard in settings

In the past, it has been working fine. Please bring it back, as I like naming my space platfrorms after towns near my home town
