Factorio Forums

Even when at the title screen (not playing), Factorio prevents my MacOS (Mojave, 10.14.6) from going to sleep, or even dimming the screen.

* Launch Factorio (I'm on 18.26)
* Play for a while.
* Quit game, but don't quit Factorio.
* CMD-H (Hide) Factorio.
* Go to bed.
* Wake up 8+ hours later; check computer.

EXPECTED RESULTS: Screen is black, requires touch/login/etc. to wake up.

ACTUAL RESULT: Screen is wherever you left it, burning out the backlight.

Thanks for the report. That is intended; if you want the computer to go into sleep/passive mode exit the game.

When the game is running we tell the computer to "please don't enter sleep mode".

In addition to that, even if you put your computer to sleep mode manually when the game is running, it is likely the game will have its textures corrupted after you wake the computer up, so you'll have to restart the game anyway.
