So I downloaded factorio and unpacked it on my gentoo linux pc.
When I try to start the game it gives me the error message

Code: Select all

0.000 Error Util.cpp:49: No such node (config-path)
Looks like I need to configure something before the game can start, but I can find no info about that subject.

Any help would be appriciated

You shouldn't need to configure anything, it's supposed to just work. config-path.cfg should come with reasonable defaults including a config-path line, is it empty in your installation? Was it already that way in the tarball you downloaded?

config-path.cfg is an empty file on my machine. I changed nothing, just unpacked the tarball in my home directory...

Try with

Code: Select all

config-path=__PATH__executable__/../../config
use-system-read-write-data-directories=false
and consider reporting a bug if the tarball offered for download results in a broken installation.

I feel so stupid.... probably I unpacked the tarball with a wrong switch.... Game is starting now since I unpacked it the RIGHT way.... I think this topic can be deleted
