What's the most unexpected fun you've had?

One of my most fun Factorio experiences was back around 0.17. I let my son (around 8 at the time) play with one of my old save files. I had a fully established base complete with rocket launching (back in the old days when rocket control units took speed module 1s & blue circuits). I don't know exactly what mistakes he made, but when he turned the game back over to me, the status of my base was as follows:
1. Power is down, but the nuke plants still exist.
2. Perimeter defenses are gone.
3. Aliens are rampaging through the base and have destroyed large sections of it.
4. I have nearly no ammo onboard.
5. When I load the save, I have two seconds to move before big biters spot me and kill me.
6. There is no inventory of turrets or ammo available.
It took me about 10 tries to salvage the situation. I run to move to an outlying iron ore outpost, built some solar panels to re-establish local power, set up refining on-site, and put down some assemblers to make engines so I could have a car.
I think I drove down (dodging biters) and got some nuclear fuel, then got power up and running, and, very slowly, managed to laser push through my entire base. I manually rebuilt the sections of my base necessary to produce robots, and once I got roboports up, managed to get the base to self-rebuild over the next couple of hours... along with replacing trains, fixing outlying outposts, etc.

Quality is fun, but again, expected. \n \nBut the grabby arm in the flying factory thing really ruins the game for me by breaking immersion. I am praying that SE fixes some things, but I'm skeptical. I think doing the space ships correctly takes a lot of work, art, design and engineering but they missed the opportunity to do it with SA. \n \nOh well, maybe someone will create a great spaceship mod that blends all of the best ideas together.",

Damaging fish with grenades

Hi,
I'm creating a mod & depending on the entity that has been killed, you'll get a different item.
But when trying to damage the fish with anything but a bullet, it doesn't seem to work.
i.e. rockets just delete the fish, any other explosive or capsule does nothing, ...
How can I make the fish take damage from the grenade that hit it?
I tried collision damage like bullets, but that doesn't seem the case.
Also, I've noticed "fire" does damage the fish as well...
So it doesn't seem to be "under water".
Any help is welcome

Starting at version 0.3.0, since older versions had no real changelog. All changelogs can also be found in the game!
(Main Menu > Mods > DyWorld > Changelog)
Version: 0.3.0
Date: 8. 10. 2017
Major Features:
- Completely new setup and rewrite
Features:
- New level mechanic. still in WIP state, but will be used for unlocks, bonuses and more
- Needs system. Still under construction, but working already a bit (at least the losing hunger and thirst stats) Currently off normally, since doenst add any gameplay yet that works like it should
- Tiered Entites and Items: because of the rewrite, i changed the setup how this is done. It is still in its early stages, but works fine. It adds 9 tiers of multiple machines and items with technologies and graphicals automatically. Currently supported: Assembling Machines, Solar Panels, Accumulators, Logistics Bots, Construction Bots, Mining Tools. (recipes are currently not good. Will be fixed in 0.3.1 update!)
Minor Features:
- Added a distance window. This works with the map tags you make on the map screen, but also helps you find the shipwrecks
Changes:
- Improved Statistics and Level window
- Shipwrecks are now closed but way more random. One can be close to you, while other 2 are 500 meters away.
- Loads of changes in the scripts to make everything more fluent. Including, but not limited to, refreshing stats window (every sec), better calculations and much more

Replacing accumulators with hot water storage?
|
General discussion

I read somewhere else that you can store hot water in tanks for later use. Now I want to use hot water tanks as replacement for accumulators in the right ratio.
You have solar cells providing power during the day. You have water going through boilers to fill tanks with hot water. You have steam engines running from those tanks. Here is what I want to figure out if someone else hasn't already:
1) An offshore pump provides 60 fluids/sec. How many boilers to I need to hook up to that to fill a tank with 100° water?
2) Do I need small pumps to fill the tank?
3) One offshore pump can run 10 steam engines 24/7. But during daytime solar cells provide power. Assume full solar power can provide 100% of the needed energy how many steam engines can be run from one tank without it running dry?
4) Should the steam engines be in series, parallel, parallel lines of serial engines? Any small pumps beneficial there? Is one tank enough? Are two better?
5) What are the optimal numbers for boilers, steam engines tanks and solar panels normalized to 1 offshore pump? Does it make sense for the solar cells to provide more than 100% power at noon so they cover a larger amount at dusk and dawn?

That is one of the primary functions of a cooling tower - to condense the steam back into hot water so it can be recirculated. \n \nI don't see how that could work in Factorio under the current fluid mechanics as we lack the necessary valves to accomplish the topping up of cold water by the offshore pump. \n \nAn interesting challenge \n \nLet us all know how you get on",

"content": "A small pump is a valve. You can turn it on and of and it allows flows only in one direction. \n \nRecirculating is a good idea. I wonder if you can get a read on the water temp. Fill a tank with water and then circulate it through a boiler and back into the tank till it is at 100° (>98 because you will never get to 100 through mixing?). \n \nI have never tried using what comes out of a steam engine other than for another steam engine. Do steam engines actually use up water so that after enough there is simply nothing left? Someone mentioned that steam engine don't create a back pressure so whatever is left at the last engine seems to disapear. But maybe that is just because it (usually) is an open end. What if you put a (full) tank, a boiler and a small pump in a loop? Will it use up 6 fluids/sec as it passes through the steam engine and recirculate the rest? Can't wait to try this tonight. \n \nAs for topping of the circuit with fresh water... Just connect a offshore pump through a small pump (or 2) to the tank or boiler. Then connect a red wire between the tank and pump and set it to turn on if the tank is below a threshold. Added points for adding a hysteresis. Gold star if you connect multiple circuits to the pump and have it turn on the lowest 2 (or the lowest with 2 small pumps).",

"content": "Steam engines are no different from your ordinary pipe, except they destroy water up to 6/sec in order to produce energy. Offshore pumps produce 60/sec, and pipes will move up to 120/sec before rapidly losing \"pressure\". \n \nThe most basic setup is 14-15 boilers, 1 pump and 10 steam engines. The pump provides 60, 10 engines burn up to 60, and you don't have to worry about pressure loss. \n \nYou can run water through a steam engine into any kind of storage system. Storage tanks will lose output rate as their storage goes down. \n \nYou don't need storage tanks for the baseline steam system; the pumps and boilers will always keep that well fed. You only need storage tanks if you intend to have excess steam engines. In that case it's best to run the excess steam engines on both sides of the storage tanks, or even weave it in between them. That way you can keep pressure for as long as possible. \n \nStorage tanks hold up to 2500 fluid, enough for 7 engines to run about a minute while taking full input about 40 seconds to fill. I don't have numbers on day/night cycles.",

"content": "This is one of those ideas that is kinda fun to build, but way more work than accumulators. I've played with it a bit, never built a huge system though. \n \nEssentially, you need to use offshore pumps to bring water into your tanks. Use circuit network to stop the pumps when the tanks are ~80% full. More than that and you run into issues with the fluid not circulating I found. \nRun boilers in strings of ~8, with a small pump feeding each. Return the hot water back to the tanks. \nYou 'can' feed steam engines using small pumps, but you'll want them on their own power network to ensure that they don't slow down in a brownout/blackout. \n \nThe system for storing hot water that I found worked best myself was like this: \nsets of 1 offshore pump->14 boilers \nfeeds into storage tanks, distributed out among your steam engines \n \nI can't remember how long the factorio 'day' is, but: \nEach string can feed 10 engines without touching storage for the night. \nDays are about twice the length of nights (70%day, 30% night, something in that line) \nSo each 'day', a string of boilers should be able to heat enough water for 20 storage fed steam engines that night(assuming solar runs the entire grid during the day). \nYou need to cover ~135 seconds of the ~416 second day. Each steam engine needs 6 per second, so 810 units of water per night. A tank holds 2500. So 1 tank for every three steam engines. \n \nSo really, 1 offshore pump->14 boilers->10 steam engines->2 small pumps->7 storage tanks->20 steam engines. \nNot sure if you need to turn off the small pumps at night, might starve the direct fed engines if you don't. Need to test that. \nMight want to split your flow at the pumps, one pump->4 tanks->10 engines, not sure if it would make much difference. \n \nSome useful numbers that I think are still correct: \nMax water usage of steam engine per second: 6 \nOffshore pump: 60 \nSmall pump: 30 \nStorage tank holds 2500, but remember that the liquid needs room to flow in factorio. Stick to ~2000 if you want it to circulate. \nFactorio day length: https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Game-day",

Addon mod for deadlock stacking/crating - alpha version

I've prepared alpha version of mod that adds stacking/crating support for bobs/angels and madclown extension.
I'll post it here for now - not sure if I should go with it to mod portal for now.
It only contains ores and plates currently - I didn't do a big playthrough with alll the mods yet so I'm not sure what other items could use stacking.
Mod will work with only bob's set but stacked icons are made from updates angel's smelting icons so they won't match.
Let me know what other items could use stacking or if something is wrong. Mod assumes that all the mods in set are present - I'm not sure how it will behave without all of them.

Code: Select all connections :: Read array[WireConnection]
All wire connectors this connector is connected to.
Code: Select all real_connections :: Read array[WireConnection]
All wire connectors this connector is connected to with real wires.
At first glance this confused me, what is a "real" wire?
- is it not real if either entity has draw_circuit_wires enabled? you don't see a "real" wire
- is it not real if it goes to another surface? since you do not see that either
- is it not real if the wire origin is script?
- is it not real if the wire origin is radar?
Turns out none of those things, real means its neither a ghost nor a simulation, but it took me some digging on the c++ side to confirm what a "real wire" was.
edit 1: only after typing this i realized that "connection_count" had a mention of "ghost and real" which gives a hint, but who looks at _count first anyways?
edit 2: since it is on the second line / after the period, you don't see the _count explanation on the top of the page either, and at that point you click the main.

Apologies if this isn't the right place to request this, wasn't sure where it fit best.
I've noticed several tools (like autocompletes for various IDEs) that rely on scraping the documentation of the Lua API and prototypes pages and then do all sorts of html scraping magic to extract things like structures, methods, types, descriptions, etc. As with any scraping solution, this is brittle and imperfect. For example, I've noticed in at least one autocomplete plugin that some of the descriptions are mangled or just not present.
I'm working on a project that requires the same sort of information about the API, so I'm about to write my own parser for this information
I'm assuming that the documentation is generated from the raw type information extracted from the codebase, as opposed to the html files being edited by hand. If that's the case, would it be possible to bundle/post the raw information as well as the human readable api docs? Then programs like autocompletes could parse the definition files directly and skip all of the web scraping.
I'm not asking for any specific format, just something amenable to being read by code.

Placing blueprints as "references" instead of copies
|
Ideas and Suggestions

|
Necrowizard

Hey there, I saw the blog post of Parametrised blueprints: https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-392 -
What I've always wanted was a way to place blueprints as a "reference" of the blueprint, instead of just an untracked "instance of" blueprint.
If you've played SpaceChem you'll know this concept...
How that worked in SpaceChem was that for example you created a small 10 by 10 loop, which would be saved as an actual object. So in a later mission, you'd reuse your 10x10 loop block, place it, and place 10 in a row, chain them up, and have a factory of loops...
Then you figure out, "Oh shit, in 1/100 cases my small loop fails", and you can go back inside your initial loop object, change things, and it's updated in all those 10 placed in a row.
In Factorio it would be a bit imba if you can dynamically update your entire map though updating a blueprint, since materials are required, so I was thinking of some ways this could work:
You create a blueprint, and to create a "blueprint-instance" you put the blueprint as output in an assembly machine, and you provide all the required parts for the blueprint, now you have a "blueprint-instance".
When you create the blueprint, you can set some properties, like it being a 10x10 blueprint, and then you can use your blueprint to create "blueprint-instances" from it, as if it's any other machine. Meaning, it's immutable; you cannot place the blueprint-instance and remove stuff or add extra stuff after pasting it. It also takes up the entire predefined space (10x10 if you configured that)
Now, at some point you want to change something, ok, it works the same as upgrading any other thing in Factorio. You change the blueprint, you set your assembly machine to create "blueprintV2-instances".
Then you go to the upgrade planner, select that you want to upgrade "blueprint-instances" to "blueprintV2-instances", and your robot network will do the rest and replace everything with new version of the blueprintV2...
Basically like in programming, what blueprints are now, are a cheat-sheet that you keep, and when you need something, you copypaste from your cheat-sheet and paste it in you level. What you actually want to do is group things (like create classes) so when you want to change something you don't have to go though all your code (level) to figure out where you copypasted your initial version. You wrap your logic in containers and then use and update those containers.
Does anyone know if something like this concept exists? Would it be possible to mod something like this?

Factorio Forums • FPS drops after a few minutes to slideshow
|
Hello guys,
i have a Problem.
When me and my friends play on our server which is hosted in my Network on a separate machine.
The server maintains 60 UPS but for some reason after a few minutes of playing my FPS slowly crawl to 5 and lower until i get kicked from the game.
I am the only one of us which has an AMD GPU installed.
I have tried to remove the overlock of my cpu - no change
I have tried to remove windows paging file/lower paging file size/higher paging file size - no change
I have tried developer options -> force OpenGL - worked for a few more minutes but then crashed
I have tried lowering my graphic settings / turning everything on and off / messing arround - no change
I have tried to zoom in as far as possible - ran smoother but still got choked to 5 frames after a few minutes.
While the game is running only CPU cores 2-3 and 14-15 (0-15) are spiking to 100%, the rest idles at 2-5% usage.
My GPU idles at 1-25%(Not really noticed anything above 10%)
RAM usage is at 12GB of 16GB at max.
My paging file (No idea)
I would love if someone could analyze the timings in my logs and could help me in general why this is like it is, because, i don't get it.
Log and System specs are attached
My speculations are its either a Mainboard bug or The Paging files fault.

In 2.0, marking an entity for deconstruction instantly pushes out the fluids it contains into the connected fluid segments, and then disconnects the entity from the fluid segments. Only after this, `on_marked_for_deconstruction` is fired.
As part of my mod Undeletable Fluids , I need to know how much fluid a storage tank contained before it was marked for deconstruction. Because of the current timing of the event, this isn't possible. A handler for `on_marked_for_deconstruction` will always show an empty storage tank.

If the fluid was only pushed out when each piece of pipe was actually deconstructed, it would be possible for the bots to remove two pieces of pipe near each end and entirely disconnect all the remaining pipes in the middle, and then when those pipes were removed the fluid in them is guaranteed to be lost. \n \nThe current system is trying to preserve as much fluid as possible in the case of the player issuing deconstruction orders that cover multiple entities which the bots will then remove in an arbitrary order. You are correct that if you then cancel some/all of the deconstruction orders before the entities are removed, it's possible for fluid to be lost if there wasn't room to push it elsewhere, but waiting until each entity is actually removed makes it quite likely that you will lose fluid unnecessarily even though there may have been plenty of room to keep it. \n \nTo do better it seems like the game would have to carefully control the exact order that bots deconstructed individual entities, which is something the developers have rejected repeatedly in other contexts for performance reasons.",

With the alternative you propose, fluid can be lost if the deconstruction goes ahead, depending on the order the bots happen to remove the entities. \n \n2. The fluid system is too full to contain all the fluid in the marked-for-deconstruction entities, and the deconstruction goes ahead as planned. Fluid is lost in this case no matter what system you use, but with the current system the *minimum* possible amount of fluid is lost: the rest of the system will be filled to maximum before anything is lost. With the alternative you propose, it's possible for *additional* fluid to be lost beyond the minimum, depending on the removal order. \n \n3. The fluid system is too full to contain all the fluid in the marked-for-deconstruction entities, and the deconstruction is cancelled before the entities are actually removed. With the current system this will indeed lose the excess fluid, and with the alternative you propose no fluid would be lost. \n \nYou seem to be much more concerned with the case where the deconstruction is cancelled, and if that's your primary concern then yes, the current system isn't ideal. I'm more concerned about the case where the deconstruction goes ahead as planned, which the current system already handles just fine and your alternative would be worse. \n \nIf you are in a modded game where a fluid is particularly precious, then I would usually expect that it's also being produced slowly and there's usually going to be spare space in tanks to avoid large amounts of fluid loss from an accidental deconstruction. I've played a number of overhaul mods where this is the case and I haven't ever felt the need to avoid using the deconstruction planner on pipes/tanks or unintentionally lost any significant amount of fluid by doing so, but maybe I just didn't get unlucky. \n \nIt's entirely possible that some mod I haven't played (or not played far enough) has fluids that are produced in very large volumes compared to the size of pipes/tanks but are still very valuable on a per unit basis, and this would be much more of a concern in that case, but if you have large volume of a very precious fluid then you need to be very careful about deconstructing parts of that fluid system even if you *don't* make a mistake, and as you mentioned it'd be better to always mine the entities one at a time manually. \n \nI would guess that the developers are also more concerned about the case where deconstruction is intentional, and that even though the fluids in the vanilla game aren't particularly precious, they likely wanted to avoid cases like \"two roughly half-full tanks connected by a pipe, deconstruct one tank and the pipes, end up with a single roughly half-full tank, instead of a single roughly full tank\", because that seems likely to result in new players being confused/annoyed/reporting bugs, especially if they do not yet realise that half a tank of light oil (or whatever) is not really worth worrying about at all.",

New Types of Train Scheduling
|
Frequently Suggested / Link Collections
|
https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=51028
|
The current way of scheduling is in some ways limited (in a way, that is not possible to go around): You need to send a train to a station by name. But some stations can have the same names. Any try to fix this problem without changing this paradigm will loose.
There is an suggestion that goes around this limitation:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=50128 New Train-Schedule-Mode / Conditions instead of Train-Stop-Names / Remove Names from Train-Schedule
I mention this, cause I think suggestions around this subject should think more out of the box.

Can't find a way to use Py Recommended Settings on dedicated server

I've googled for a week. I can't seem to use the right keywords, Py included and excluded, to apply the Pyanodon recommended settings (world-gen) from a headless CLI server.
Some recommend uploading a savefile with the settings already set, I know I can modify each individual setting to copy the recommended settings, but - I am unable to locate to apply these settings - even if someone would prefer to use Island or deathworld settings (NOT related to Py).
The default .example config files for mapgen, map-settings, and server-settings say nothing about these settings.
Is my googling that bad?
And you can thank "Simon Plays" on YouTube to show enough of your mods that make me play it now. And enjoying it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORCLZII9WNs
Thanks for any feedback in advance.

Introduction
Hello everyone and thanks to Google Translator.
The developers are busy improving trains and stations (Train 2.0), and while we wait, I decided to share my implementation of a logistics train network system in vanilla.
System: Vanilla Train Network
Goal: The system simplifies the setup of trains and stations, as well as further interaction with them.
Author: PMAP
Version: 1.01
Book of blueprints
Posted on the website https://factorioprints.com/view/-NpzR-KqhdlJUYW2BcH7
Contains the system itself in the form of a constructor.
Additionally contains a simple railway as an example of organizing a global network and connecting stations to it (the test scenario is built on it).
Test scenario
You can see this system in action by downloading the test scenario . Unpack it into your scenarios folder. There you can see the station settings and try something out.
Using the console command "/c game.player.create_character()" you can display the character.
Using the console command "/c game.speed=X" you can speed up the game, 1 - normal speed, 2 - x2, 3 - x3 and so on.
Megabase
In addition to the test scenario, you can look at the operation of VTN in a megabase .
The benefits of this system
No mods required, built on the vanilla game.
Can be used at the beginning of the game, you only need trains, stations and combinators.
Unified for any train length.
Completely eliminates the need for the player to set up train schedules.
Any station can work with several resources.
The logic of each station is self-sufficient, there is no need to deploy anything else (such as a smart depot, central server, etc.).
There is no need to come up with names for the requester (unloading) stations, they are all the same.
Convenience in understanding the work (very close to drone chests - requests and provides).
Allows you to completely copy any production with stations and trains, without needing to change anything.
You can use any train in the system, at any time, for your own purposes, and then send it to a provider or refueling station (via a schedule), and this will not interfere with the system in any way.
Disadvantages of this system
Near each station there is a “pack” of combinators intertwined with all kinds of wires, it doesn’t look “very good” and can “hurt the eye.” But this is at first, and over time you get used to it.
Setting up a station without the help of drones is labor-intensive.
The need to combine all stations into one network (red and green wires).
Details
Global and local networks
All stations must be united into one global network (for example, by big electric poles along the entire railway), both red and green wires.
More than one global network is not allowed, only one.
The required resources are displayed in the red network, and stations “communicate” with each other there.
The green network displays resources available from providers.
The station must be connected to the global network through the medium electric pole (next to the lamps).
Medium electric poles without lamps are the station’s internal network and cannot be connected to the global network.
In the red local network of the station displays the contents of the train.
In the green local network of the station displays the contents of the station's chests/tanks.
System shutdown
The book contains a blueprint based on a lone locomotive at a station.
Connect the big electric pole with the red wire to the global network.
With its help, you can completely stop the trains of the system and delay them at stations.
By switching the locomotive to the “Manual” state, the system is turned off, and vice versa.
A locomotive is used, as the game allows the player to switch its mode at any distance.
There is no need to refuel the locomotive.
Refueling station
Trains arrive at such a station after every fifth trip to refuel.
Present in the book because it has a unique name.
In the test scenario, you can see the option of organizing refueling stations.
Regular provider station
Can provide more than one resource and more than one liquid.
You can set a priority (from 1-high to 10-low, indicated in the constant combinator marked “PRIORITY”, signal “P”).
There is balancing of the loading of boxes and tanks (can be turned off using a permanent combinator marked "DISABLE BALANCER").
Each loading section has a permanent combinator for the balancer, indicating the number of boxes/tanks per resource for this section (the number must be with a minus sign).
A station may have more than one delivery train (indicated in the permanent combinator marked "LIMIT", signal "L").
The station must be renamed (for example, by the type of resource supplied).
The same name can be given to several stations, provided that the resources they supply are identical.
The station will respond to the request only if the train is loaded with the specified minimum (if necessary, indicated in the permanent combinator marked “MINIMUM”).
Providers stations contain the trains themselves (the schedule cannot be changed), create copies of it in the stacker (if available).
Loading areas must be installed according to the blueprint and only then, if necessary, modified.
Color of lamps at the station:
Red - the chests and the train at the station are empty (the train will not be sent anywhere)
Yellow - the station is not ready to send the train (the train has not yet returned to the station or the departure minimum has not been met)
Green - the station is ready to send the train
Specialized provider station
Behavior is similar to a regular provider station, with minor changes.
Reacts not to the requested resource, but to a special signal (indicated in the constant combinator with the mark "SPECIALITY", "ABCDEF" signals cannot be used).
Does not inform the global network about its resources in chests and trains, but only with a special signal when ready.
It is possible to send a train to a regular requester station if you specify a resource signal with a special signal (make sure that the train is loaded with this resource).
Unlike usual, in the absence of cargo and minimums, the train at the station will be ready for departure.
There can be several special signals (make sure that the train will provide the necessary resources for requests for each signal).
Direct purpose - construction trains, trains for defense, player and the like.
Regular requester station
Can request more than one resource and more than one liquid.
You can set a priority (from 1-high to 10-low, indicated in the constant combinator marked “PRIORITY”, signal “E”).
There is balancing of the unloading of boxes and tanks (can be turned off using a permanent combinator marked "DISABLE BALANCER").
Each unloading section has a permanent combinator for the balancer, indicating the number of boxes/tanks per resource for this section (the number must be with a minus sign).
A station can request more than one train (indicated in the constant combinator marked "LIMIT", signal "D").
All requester stations have the same name (the name cannot be changed).
Does not inform the global network about its resources in chests.
The station will request a resource only if there is not enough of it in the chests/tanks (indicated in the permanent combinator marked "MINIMUM").
A station can be passive, that is, ask for something only if there is a certain minimum of any resources in the network (indicated in the constant combinator marked “PASSIVE”).
Unloading zones must be installed according to the blueprint and only then, if necessary, modified.
Color of lamps at the station
Red - chests at the station are empty
Yellow - resource chests contain less than the specified minimum
Green - there are enough resources in the chests
Blue - the station is in passive mode (sleeping)
Specialized requester station
The behavior is similar to a regular requester station, with minor changes.
If a resource is needed, the train requests a special signal (indicated in the permanent combinator marked “SPECIALITY”, “ABCDEF” signals cannot be used).
You can request a train from a regular station if you indicate the resource signal with a special signal.
There may be several special signals (make sure that for each signal the suppliers are able to provide the necessary resources to the station).
Direct purpose - construction trains, trains for defense, player and the like.
Player Requester Station Section
This section calls a train when a player is nearby.
If you install it in a regular requester station, then the train that is marked in the arithmetic combinator is called (the signal “P” is written in the blueprint, accordingly you need a specialized station with a signal “P”, you can change it to your own signal).
If installed in a specialized station, then the train that is marked in "SPECIALITY" is called.
If a requester station needs a resource, then a train with the resource can arrive, that is, it called it before the player called his train. You can also use it, only send it later to the supply station.
A station in passive mode will prevent the call.
The provider station will only dispatch a train if that train is ready to depart.
Recommendations
Do not place large stackers at requester stations, otherwise they will take over the trains that are unnecessary for them when others do not have enough.
It is better not to supply more than one liquid by one train, this can cause difficulties and inconsistencies during unloading, since the game does not have a filter for liquids.
It is advisable to indicate to the supply station the minimum resources for sending as much as the train can accommodate.
At requester stations, be sure to use filters (manipulators and switching conditions in pumps).
You should not request more resources than the station can accept (chests/tanks), otherwise this station will endlessly idle trains.
Also, you should not request as much resource as the maximum the station can handle; this may delay the train at the station if the chests are full and the train has not yet been unloaded.
It's best to request 2 or 3 full lineups.
Balancing will work for multiple resources only if each resource has the same number of chests/tanks (otherwise it is better to turn it off).
Boxes/tanks in the loading and unloading areas are connected by wires in parallel, so unnecessary ones can be safely removed (don’t forget to adjust the number of boxes for the balancer).
At the provider station, for better operation of the manipulators when loading into boxes, you can adjust the balancer by indicating the value 4 in the combinator marked "DISABLE BALANCER", instead of a large number, and turn on the combinator itself.
You may need to replace steel chests with drone chests, and to avoid missing wires, install them directly on top of the steel ones, the game will replace them, leaving the wires in place.
Manipulators can be replaced in the same way.
It’s better not to load the trains of regular suppliers with different resources, and if you want to, then load each car equally, so as not to experience problems at requester stations.
It is better to place several groups of refueling stations on different sides of the base, so that trains do not crowd in one place.
Repath of train destination
The game mechanics have a peculiarity in the behavior of trains: they can change the target station with the same name if they cannot get to the original one or the second one seemed more achievable to them.
And since in my system all the requester stations have the same name, this feature becomes a problem.
I put a lot of effort into minimizing the appearance of this mechanic.
At the moment the probability is small, but still remains.
To protect requester stations from such a phenomenon, filters are used (manipulators and switching conditions in pumps); a train that goes the wrong way will simply leave in a couple of seconds.
A couple of tips, although banal, reduce the likelihood:
Try to avoid traffic jams.
Try to satisfy requester stations in a timely manner.
How to place a provider station
Using the blueprints from the book, lay out a straight road.
Place the blank under the station (for example, “RW. Station (1 train)”).
Select one of the stations in the blueprints (for example, "PS. Regular").
Place it in the blank for the station so that the medium electric poles and the lamp coincide.
Be sure to rename the station.
Select the wagon loading blueprint (for example, “PS. Cargo wagon”) and place it in the section next to the station so that the medium electric poles and lamps coincide.
You can further add more loading sections.
Add fuel to the train and set the switch to "Auto" (if there is a gas station, it will go there and return).
The train will be ready to transport everything you load into it.
How to place a requester station
Using the blueprints from the book, lay out a straight road.
Place the blank under the station (for example, “RW. Station (1 train)”).
Select one of the stations in the blueprints (for example, "RS. Regular").
Place it in the blank for the station so that the medium electric poles and the lamp coincide.
Do not rename the station under any circumstances.
Select the blueprint for unloading the wagon (for example, “RS. Cargo wagon”) and place it in the section next to the station so that the medium electric poles and lamps coincide.
You can further add more unloading sections.
Specify the resource required at the station (in the combinator with the "MINIMUM" mark).
Be sure to configure the filter in the manipulators/pumps (by default, fish and water are indicated there, respectively).
If there is a ready-made train with this resource in your network, then it will already be sent.
Conclusion
I hope this system is useful to someone.
Leave your questions here, I will try to answer them.

[Suggestion] Disable "Use destination train stop color" after copying the color from a station to the train
|
Implemented Suggestions

When using Shift+Right Click and Shift+Left Click to copy colours from stations to trains, the "Use destination train stop color" tickbox remains ticked. This means that once the train travels to a differently coloured station it will change colours. As a user if I paste a colour from a station onto a train, my expectation is for the train to stay that colour, so the tickbox staying ticked is counter intuitive.
As a test, I also copied the colour from a different train. The tickbox state carried over whenever copying from another train. Likewise, I unticked the "Use destination train stop color" before pasting the station color, and the tickbox stayed unticked.

Pasting green station colour onto a train with the unticked setting.

In summary, the Shift+Right Click -> Shift+Left Click tool copies only the information available, in this case, colour for stations and colour + "Use destination train stop color" setting for trains. Having stations with the "Use destination train stop color" set to disabled and not shown on UI would remove the need to manually untick the box after pasting the colours from a station onto a train.

Issue
When using keyboard + mouse on Nintendo Switch, the modifier keys do not work when typing in text fields. This makes it impossible to type capital letters, or any other character that requires the Shift key to access. Additionally, when text is selected, pressing a modifier key deletes the selected text as if you pressed the backspace key.
This is not an issue in controller mode, the keyboard works as expected when entering text in that mode.
Expected Behaviour
The shift key works and allows the entry of capital letters/symbols. Pressing a modifier key does not delete selected text.

So now that HPF coming out of Quantrinum Reactor are pre-heated, is it even necessary to run it through a boiler anymore? Previously, running HPF through a Gearbox before high tier generators was pointless because the Gearbox doesn't exactly raise the HPF to a efficient temperature, so it couldn't sustain said generators. Now, it doesn't even look like it's necessary to run the HPF coming out of a Quantrinum Reactor through anything. I think I need a refresher lesson how HPF works. Lol.

Railgun quality sign offsets while rotated 45° to the left. It looks weird.

I would like a mod where I can land on the Surface of the Sun.
Doing so would result in
INSTANT DEATH
But hanging out in orbit would offer insane solar power output! That power could either be used to charge batteries and shipped planet side, or maybe it could be beamed down to a planet for use there.
Basically, a mod that lets me play Dyson Sphere Program in Factorio.

[Oxyd] [Linux/Mac] non-blocking save crashes

I've enabled async saves and if I accidentally (or because the autosave is stuck, which is another point) save the game (manually) while it's autosaving, the game crashes because there is only one instance of the async save class allowed.

"content": "Hi Wube team, \n \nJust had an interesting and rare occurrence - factorio crashed! \n \nI think this is my first crash since I bought the game circa 0.14, so you're doing an excellent job regarding stability! \n \nI was poking around in single player with a few minor mods (LTN, Whistle Stop, Mining Drones, Squeakthrough, Beautiful Rail Bridges, Lighted power poles, Noxys waterfill, couple others perhaps - see the attached saves). \n \nIt tried to autosave as it has done successfully many many times (including in this session and on this map), but this specific time the dialog remained visible for several minutes with the progress bar at 100%. \n \nI've no idea why it stalled this time, I had 8G of RAM available (from 16G total), and 35G free on the disk where I have my factorio saves. \n \nThe game kept running for a while (I have non-blocking save enabled) then crashed. \n \nThere's nothing interesting in the log, but I've attached it anyway since I know you've plenty of reason to not believe folks when they say there's nothing interesting in there. \n \nNothing interesting in dmesg either, last message there is from several hours ago. \n \nI've also attached the save file it was *trying* to write, as well as the previous autosave which wrote successfully. They're time-stamped 5 minutes apart. \n \nMy guess is that some unknown and unlogged issue caused the save process to stall, then (as a result of non-blocking save) it tried to autosave *again*, and barfed on the previous autosave process still running. \n \nIf that's an accurate assessment, the main problem is that autosave stalled somehow. \n \nSuggestion: if non-blocking autosave stalls, perhaps detect this and at least offer to foreground-save before dying? \n \nSystem specifics: \n \nLinux Mint 18.3 (Sylvia) (essentially Ubuntu xenial), kernel 4.15.0-64-generic #73~16.04.1-Ubuntu \nAMD 1500X Ryzen 3 CPU \nnVidia GTX1050Ti, 396.54.09 driver \n16GB DDR4-2400 RAM (12G free after factorio crashed, ~8G free while the autosave was stalling with each factorio process taking ~2G) \n240G SSD (35G free) + 1TB spinning rust (not used for factorio) \n \nPS: I love the non-blocking save feature, it's a truly genius move to offload game state snapshotting to the kernel's CoW fork mechanism!",

I have to add that I'm using the experimental feature non_blocking_saving and I'm fully aware that it being experimental means that I can't expect any support for problems caused by that feature, but I want to provide all the information to investigate the server hang and fix it if desired. I personally think that leveraging Linux' in-process CoW features to parallelize world-saving is a rather smart thing and would love to continue using it.

Symmetric fluid dynamics
|
Implemented in 2.0
|
https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=98162

TL;DR
To make fluid flow to behave exactly the same way for rotated / flipped layouts
What ?
Now (ver 1.1.32) fluid flow is highly dependent on the direction of the pipes. For example, here is totally symmetric layout (inner infinity pipes have 100% of water, outer infinity pipes have 0% of water), which was left for more than 1 hour to run (to exclude initial irregularities). Regular pipes in corners contain amounts as shown:
fluid-symmetry-actual.png (976.04 KiB) Viewed 2207 times
I would expect to see something like that:
fluid-symmetry-expected.png (962.92 KiB) Viewed 2207 times
Why ?
To make fluid dynamics more logical and easier to understand, to make designs scalable, to reduce ugly bulky "fixes" for complex designs with heavy fluid load (like large nuclear plants), to reduce frustration among players (when rotation / flip of a perfectly working layout can shrink or even break it's capability) etc.
How ? (boring tech suggestions)
I guess that flow is dependent on the direction because of iterative changing of live pipe contains from tick to tick. But one can keep in memory two copies of pipe contains - a "live" one and a "next tick" one. A "next" copy can be calculated using "live" copy data (totally ignoring "next" copy data and just rewriting it). And after that references to these copies can be switched, so the fresh "next" one will be a new "live".
Pros:
- that can be done in any order / in parallel, easier to maintain, better user experience
- result is much more clear, predictable and testable
Cons:
- adds negligible cpu load (3 assignments per tick for the reference switch)
- adds memory load (depends on current implementation, can't estimate)
Potential
Adds the ability to calculate an actual "flow" and use it for more close-to-the-real-world dynamics later, or at least introduce "really not peaceful" mode for hardcore players with a fluid hammer effect, which can damage or ruin random parts of a fluid system in case of a biter attack.

"content": "I think you have no idea of how pain in the somewhere fluids implementation is to maintain, or even change to something better while not causing huge performance penalties. \n \nFor the fluids flow to be \"fair\" it would have to be a 2-pass algorithm because it would have to first compute all the fluid flow values in a way that does not violate the fluid volume constraints, and then they would have to be applied onto the pipes. Right now it is a single pass algoritms and even now it needs to be multithreaded to not cause some severe performance issues when there is a lot of pipes in game. \n \nAll the behaviors players complain about are because of the single pass approach fluids are doing which has 2 consequences: 1/ order of updates matters and it may be weird - connection update is performed by the fluidbox with lower position (lower y; if y is same: lower x) and fluidboxes are updated in some weird order sometimes dictated by entity building order, sometimes not; 2/ flow along one connection may cause other connection out of the same fluidbox to have lower flow because it sees lower value of the fluid volume. \n \nIf the 2-pass approach would be implemented, it would either have to use only some fraction of the fluidbox volume to decide amount of transfer (which would immediately reduce all the flow values with pipes), or it would have to be even more passes or more complex approach that would visit all the neighbour fluidboxes to decide in which direction fluids will flow along which connections to decide the fractions for the flow values. \n \nHaving more passes and touching more fluidboxes (not only along the \"update\" connections) would cause reduced performance so there would be a lot more changes needed for such ideas to work nicely.",

currently when you add a new target priority you need to wait for latency to catch up before you get a new slot to fill, it would be nice if the new slot becomes clickable as soon as you set it on your own end.

Looking for people with the same playing time-range and level of knowledge (or lesser, I can take it slow) of the game to play together. To be known:
I can play from 22:30 to 01:00 GTM +1 , most days
I have played Factorio a lot, but I have only stratched a minor part of the game. I usually get stuck trying to refactor/scale my factory arround Yellow tech.
My mother language is Spanish. I can handle English, and I'm ok with playing with mic or chat
I'm 37 with 2 kids sleeping in the next room. Expect some interruptions.

Settings for a large biter hive expansion map
|
Maps and Scenarios

https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=84666

Explanation/Reasoning
When playing with some friends in a multiplayer game, I realized that the default settings for biter base size make it a little easy, since you can start walking around with a rifle and clearing them fairly early, removing any threat rapidly if you beeline early military technologies.
To counteract this, I changed the game's settings to demand expansion, as per Rail World, with biter colonies that are colossal and infrequent. This makes it so the biter bases are nearly impossible to destroy early on, because of their standing armies, and establishes strong threat, since they send a percentage of their population when attacking because of pollution. Larger colonies mean larger attack forces, so base defense is no longer a job for 1 or 2 turrets per area, instead requiring huge defense perimeters with significant amounts of turrets to withstand the waves of forces that will come.
This is a setup ideal for multiplayer maps with people who seek a greater level of difficulty than is offered by the normal biter colony settings. It can be done single player, but may necessitate peaceful mode for the initial phases of the game the first few times you play these settings.
I have not given a seed because depending on the mods you use, the same seed does not lead to the same results.
Settings
Baseline world:
Rail World
Resources:
Adjust all to 200% richness. If using mods, standardize frequency/size to rail world defaults.
Reason: With the massive colonies, you need to be able to depend on non-biter infested resources and paths longer.
Terrain:
Default/To taste
May recommend more water, to allow the player to create more choke points when defending.
Enemies:
Enemy bases:
Enabled
Frequency: 17%
Size: 400%
Peaceful Mode:
If multiplayer, Disabled.
If singleplayer, recommend Enabled until ready to build military on first few playthroughs.
Starting Area Size: 200%
Enemy Expansion:
Enabled
Maximum Expansion Distance: 20
Minimum Group Size: 20
Maximum Group Size: 40+
Minimum Cooldown: 30 minutes
Maximum Cooldown: 90 minutes
Evolution:
Enabled
Time Factor: 0
Destroy Factor: 0
Pollution Factor: 0 (To change with command)
Advanced: Default/To taste
Seed: Turn on preview and randomize seed until you find one with distinct starting ore patches.
Post-start:
After the game has started, you need to change the evolution factors to allow the enemies to evolve. Default values lead to significant evolution before you have any defenses.
Commands:
/c game.map_settings.enemy_evolution.pollution_factor=0.00000001

Biters in Starting Area?

General discussion

Hello all,
Just checking something. In 17.32, on regular default, no-tweaked settings, there are multiple biter nests within my starting area.
Is this working as designed, a bug, or just an experimental feature the devs might change later.
On normal default, and no matter which map string I try, at least 3 biter nests (if not more) super close to resources.
Sidenote: I understand I can alter settings to make things more to my liking. Just seems a little more like a combat game and less of a factory building game. So many threats and obstacles so close to the starting area, by default. Not sure it will make a difference, but this seems like poor design. I'm not a fan of default settings being this difficult. It makes me no longer want to play the game.

Make mod dependencies override incompatibilities

TL;DR
Allow two mods to load together, even if one is marked as incompatible with the other, as long as some third enabled mod has required dependencies on both of them.
What ?
Current behavior:

If mod A is marked as incompatible with B, and you enable both, only B will load, no matter what.
Proposed new behavior:
09-25-2024, 17-33-58.png (186.04 KiB) Viewed 312 times
Now, since C requires both A and B, enabling all three will cause all three to load.
Why ?
If one of your mods doesn’t work well or at all with another mod, it makes sense to mark it as incompatible so that it’s clear they aren’t supposed to be used together. The problem is, this means that if a third person comes along and makes a mod to fix the problems on their own, it don’t do anything without modifying the code in your mod, which many people don’t want to do.

The space platform GUI is not fully usable on the Steam Deck. When opening the circuit network info, I can’t move the window to display the circuit info (see screenshot1). When the circuit panel is closed, I can move the window freely (screenshot2).
There are also some GUI issues in the mod settings (screenshot3).
I’m running the game on the Steam Deck, at the default 1280x800 resolution, GUI scale is at auto (100%). Language is Polish.

My idea: Blueprints which deconstructs every matching real item it has inside.
Add it either:
- as right-click action
- as a mode to enable with a button press
- a toggle inside the blueprint's editor (toggle should change color of the blueprint from blue to purple or so)
This can help with large factory restructuring to apply gradual improvements to your blueprint collection to older parts of your factory.

Hello,
apparently the steam condensation recipe in the chemnical plant is not being filled up with steam fast enough, even without any quality and just t2 speed modules (4.45 crafting speed chem plant).
11-16-2024, 20-39-38.png (2.23 MiB) Viewed 2308 times
The chemical plant next to it producing steam is fully backed up with 13k steam in the output slot (The pipe is still only 50% full though)
11-16-2024, 20-38-23.png (2.49 MiB) Viewed 2308 times
This only gets worse with quality / t3 speed modules apparently.
Might be the same issue as this one:

[1.1.69] LuaLogisticNetwork.insert() sometimes fails to insert (everything) even though there is room
|
Resolved Problems and Bugs

What did you do?
- attempted to use Klonan's Repair Turret mod
What happened?
- items were spilling onto the ground despite the logistic system still having room
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
- for the items not to spill, and instead end up in the network's storage chests
Write down the steps to reproduce the bug if you know them.
1) place down two logistic storage chests
2) put 50 transport belts in the first slot of one of them, then grab the bar and limit that chest to one slot
3) ensure they have roboport coverage, and then trigger LuaLogisticNetwork.insert({name="transport-belt", count=100}) for the network they're in
4) notice how only 50 was inserted into the chest that already contained 50, and how the insert method returned 50 and not filled the other chest
alternative step 3:
- place a repair turret
- place a container with a 100 transport belts
- order deconstruction of that chest (since internally the repair turret calls the very same method)
- the items it could not insert will have spilled onto the ground
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
- during normal gameplay it can happen fairly regularly when the conditions are met ("receiving container still has room for more of that item, but the slot already contained some items and there are no further (partially) empty stacks it can insert to")
Be precise! When i click with the mouse on Quit in the main menu... Not: When I close the game.
- i think this is detailed enough

If I hover over the speed 3 module item in the tech window on a new game it is fine, until i use /c game.player.force.research_all_technologies() and then its right back to hard locking. Whats odd is its fine until you learn how to make the item. if i remove the engines addon its fine. Its hard to say if this one has anything to do with it since engines is required. Here is a quick video showing what I am talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMcs9Sq9W6A \n \nEdit: I've tracked it to the z_recipes.lua. If i exclude it from the data.lua all seems fine. Ill try and see if i can find out just what recipe its so mad about. \n \nEdit 2: I've commented out lines 465-705 in z_recipes.lua and the hard locking is gone. There is still a huge fps hit, but isn't crashing my server anymore or kicking anyone. With engine and pfw i get down to about 9fps if i wiggle my mouse over a speed 3 module like in my video. One thing I noticed also its only if i move around on the icon, if I sit my mouse on it and don't move its fine. This may be some kind of vanilla bug, as I can't see a good reason to be recalculating the recipes every frame that the tooltip frame moves.",

I often find myself having to squint or stop and focus to see which way my belt is facing by seeing it move when im connecting or moving belts (especially on turning belts) but adding arrows to belt ghosts would completely eliminate that problem!
If belts had pointers like inserters It would be a wonderful QoL improvement
Just like inserters it would be able to turned on and off and only visible when building new belts

Comparing those two pictures above... that will be a big loss.
Take a look at anything thats transparent - it has been seriously damaged by compression. Especially the glow around the main spire.

No Marathon mode in 2.0 confirmed?

In another thread it was just posted by Bilka:
'Expensive mode was completely removed in 2.0, there will be no expensive-mode mod.'
From that I assume that 2.0 and Space Age will see no official Marathon or Death World Marathon game modes since these modes rely on the expensive recipes.
For me personally this is a huge letdown since these are my favorite game modes.
I completely understand that getting the normal mode balanced enough before release is already a monumental task. I really hope that a proper Marathon ('hard-mode') will be worked on shortly after tho, don't wanna sound like a elitist but I always enjoyed Marathon much more and found Default too fast, like in other modern games where you unlock new stuff faster than you can reasonably try it out. I recently even made a thread about why I think Marathon is so much better ( viewtopic.php?f=5&t=114986&sid=5222b9a4 ... 2e877cdc2a ).
Sorry but I will have to hold back purchase of Space Age until this is implemented, I already set my Steam client to stay on the current version and not update to 2.0.

[1.1.4] Shifted item-list in blueprint frame

Not a bug

I recently noticed that behavior when I was blueprinting something in a tight spot. The problem was, my view got blocked from the list being shifted outside the frame and blocking the view at the entities.
You can see that behavior pretty good in the pics. For a better visibility I pulled the frame more to the right. Otherwise the view at the bottom row with the blue inserters would be blocked by the list. (see in pic blueprint2)

Loss Prevention - Because noone enjoys taking down green biters with red ammo

Reika's Mods

If playing with sufficiently harsh settings, one can find that they have been...rather outpaced by the advancement of the native life. This is especially true with certain mod environments, such as a grouping of NauvisDay, Natural Evolution, and Rampant.
Biters should present a serious threat, especially when one does not design their factory with good defence strategies in mind. But noone wants to end up 60 hours into a save and realize that they need blue science tech just to defend their factory against the ceaseless attack waves, while they are currently still struggling to automate ammo production. Noone wants to realize that to get their first oil patch, they need to clear a nest with 19 spawners and 8 big worms, while the best weaponry they have available are un-upgraded grenades.
With Loss Prevention, those scenarios will not happen - the enemy evolution will be kept in check by your own progression - or lack thereof - through the tech tree. Unlike other mods, this does not change how evolution generally behaves - time, pollution, and spawner destruction still do their thing - but it does prevent it from running to a point of unrecoverability.

For example, research is permanent, so once I research something, I can never reduce the cap again and I'm screwed when the green biters start attacking and I'm still struggling to automate turret development and defend my base from endless attack waves. \n \nI want to have research affect the evolution cap in a more minor way. With no research, 0.1% cap. \nResearching turrets, increases the cap by 0.5%, researching turret damage upgrades, another 0.25% per research. Military research, 0.5%. \n \nNow, these are still fairly low, the enemy might be around 1.5% total after a few early research. Now we add buildings into the mix. For each turret, the cap goes up another 0.15 to 0.25, for each 10 walls, another 0.05 or even, for each wall 0.005. \n \nWhen a turret is destroyed, the cap is reduced, same for walls. If all of your defenses are destroyed, the cap is down to its minimal permanent levels from research and other modifiers that make it stay higher. \n \nI'd also like a setting, that stops nests from being devolved. I don't mind nests having high evolution worms or nests, but the attack waves should only consist of biters that are of your evolution level. So nest spawns should reflect that level of evolution while the worms stay at their evolution and defend the nest. \n \nWhat do you think? \nThere's also a mod suggestion I was thinking of, an ability to reduce the evolution, or even just make the aliens docile by giving them stuff or actively reducing pollution.

But now that I've looked more closely at your mod because this confused me, it seems more like, the evolution listed on that technology is the technology that the game goes up to until you unlock that tech. Since it maxes at 1% till I unlock turrets, and then after turrets its 10%. Why do you have Steel Processing increase the max? A little odd since its not a defense technology. \n \nThe next list, is part of my suggestion previously. For each entity built, the cap of evolution increases. So say you add turret as one entity and set it to 0.001, the cap will go up by 0.1% each turret you have. If you have 30 turrets, the cap will be 3% higher than your permanent cap level. Say all you have is turrets researched, your cap is 10%, + 3%, 13%. Now half your turrets are destroyed in a raid, the cap will go down to 11.5%. \n \nAdding onto that suggestion however, perhaps you can have the cap decrease slowly when it reduces, like a max rate of 0.1% per minute. That'll help smooth things out rather than instant de-leveling everything in the middle of a battle. \n \nHere's the code part I was gonna attempt, but I'm not a coder so I have no idea if it would have worked. I just cut pieces from other projects of mine where a friend helped out with portions as well. \n Code: Select all local TECH_LIST=\t\tsettings.global[\"technology-list\"].value\nlocal STRUCT_LIST=\t\tsettings.global[\"structure-list\"].value\nlocal BASE_SETTING=\t\tsettings.global[\"enemy-base-deleveler\"].value\n\n-- Lets create a splitter function so we can split our additional strings properly.\nlocal function split(inputstr, sep)\n\tif sep == nil then sep = \"%s\" end\n\tt={} i=1\n\tfor str in string.gmatch(inputstr, \"([^\"..sep..\"]+)\") do \n\t\tt[i] = str\n\t\ti = i + 1\n\tend return t\nend\n\n-- Now lets rebuild the list of technology unlocks and their evolution factors.\nscript.on_event(defines.events.on_player_created,function(param)\n\tlocal p=game.players[param.player_index]\n\t\n\tif TECH_LIST ~= \"\" then\n\t\tlocal items = split(TECH_LIST,\",\")\n\t\tfor no, item_str in pairs(items) do\n\t\t\tlocal info = split(item_str,\":\")\n\t\t\tif game.forces[player].technologies[info[1]] then\n\t\t\t\taddTechEvoThreshold(info[1],tonumber(info[2]))\n\t\t\tend\n\t\tend\n\tend\nend)\n\n--[[ Reference Code:\naddTechEvoThreshold(\"turrets\", 0.01)\naddTechEvoThreshold(\"steel-processing\", 0.2)\naddTechEvoThreshold(\"military\", 0.1)\naddTechEvoThreshold(\"military-2\", 0.3)\naddTechEvoThreshold(\"military-3\", 0.7)]]-- \n\nI left the reference in there only when I was planning to test, but I gave up cause I couldn't figure out how to go about doing this. So I leave it up to you to fiddle with now. I really hope you can add these settings so we can alter this stuff ourselves. With bob's mods and Rampart you can still lose rather quickly to AI, plus I play a slower game where I try not to pollute a lot. For some reason researching steel causes the evolution to go very high and I lose every time I do, when I need steel for early game stuff and I've still got crummy bad turrets.",

Description:
Add several processes and recipes to improve the yield of basic vanilla ores.
Add lots of new buildings and chains for each ore.
Will be intended to play without bobs since the ores will be the same (maybe some new) and will make some intermediate materials more used.
Not compatible with Bobs.The use with Angels may cause bugs or incompatibilities.
Improved yield and increase the chain as consequence of advanced technologies to refine and extract basic and advanced ores.
Adjusted some vanilla recipes to be compatible with this mod.
This mod is not compatible with Angel´s mods yet, Kingarthur may be working over it.
Details:
Factorio Version: 0.17+

LONG DESCRIPTION Explore new and chains to extract and refine ores in the game. With this extension you can play pY suite without bob´s mods and still getting their ores which we decided to kept since it´s common ores and materials. No need to reinvent the wheel here. This mod will improve the ore production as much as you advance in the game. Will add mines and new/different ways to get base and advanced ores, lots of mining machines to refine that ores to perfection and extract almost 100% of it without much loss.

inserter-behavior description

Outdated/Not implemented

TL;DR
Please change the toggle-description ('Enable/disable') of inserters to only one option (-> 'Disable').
What?
The condition result is either TRUE or FALSE.
There is no sense in offering two contradictory options. Which one is it, if the condition is TRUE? Will 'Enable' be chosen, or 'disable'?
This is very confusing!
Please restrain to only one option ( 'Disable')
As there is now some space won, maybe make it even more clear and write: "Disable, if the condition is met" or "Disable, if (condition =) TRUE"?
Why?
It took me hours and a lot of swearing, until I learned by heart, that a TRUE condition will 'disable' the inserter.
Make inserter logic more comprehensible - especially for beginners - by reducing the behavior-description to the one, correct word: 'Disable'!?

Hi all!
The mod you can find at mod portal: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/darkfrei/Shift_Tool
This is a mod, that says what the shift are you need. This toll you are need when you make your own graphics with shadows, but your graphics is not in the middle of the collision box.
For example:
Entity
type = "assembling-machine",
name = "assembling-machine-3",
Code: Select all animation =
{
filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/assembling-machine-3/assembling-machine-3.png",
priority = "high",
width = 142,
height = 113,
frame_count = 32,
line_length = 8,
shift = {0.84, -0.09}
},
http://imgur.com/a/nsFp8
How to use this tool Place your entity somewhere
Find collision box
Make one Shift Tool
R - for rotate , place image of the entity to the center of collision box
Press F5 for debug net
For example here is the right position
Last message have right position for your entity, write it to the mod

Add setting to hide unresearched items/recipes in factoriopdia
|

TL;DR
In-game toggle to hide unresearched things from the factoriopedia
What ?
Somewhere in the factoriopedia GUI, a toggle between having the factoriopedia as it currently is, and only showing recipes and items that the force has currently researched the tech for. Mods like "Recipe Book" that the factoriopedia has mostly replaced had functionality like this. This is similar in concept to the "show all items in selection list" setting, except it applies to the factoriopedia instead of selection lists.
Mods like "Discovery Tree" handle this from the tech tree side, however their utility is reduced in 2.0 due to everything appearing in the factoriopedia.
Why ?
There are 2 primary reasons a player may want this.
They may be playing space age or an overhaul mod and wish to avoid spoilers so that they can "discover" things as they are researched.
Players may also wish to simply reduce clutter and see what they can use an item for right now, or which machines can craft it right now.

Compatibility with Cargo Ships deep sea oil
|
Resource Spawner Overhaul
|
https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=101218

The Cargo Ships mod includes oil deposits that spawn in water for extraction by oil rigs and ships. I need some advice for how to improve this and how to ensure compatibility with RSO. I recently took over maintaining the scripts, and this was my first attempt at resource modifications.
Before my rewrite last year, Cargo Ships placed oil randomly as chunks were generated, so they were not based on the map seed at all. I changed vanilla oil to generate on both land and sea, then convert ones generated on water into the different "deep oil" entity. I did this because I couldn't really figure out how to add a new resource setting that would only generate on water. There is also a setting for "no oil on land", which makes CS delete any oil that spawns on land when the chunk is generated.
With RSO installed, this usually works the first time the map is generated. Default resource generation is disabled, RSO places oil in land and water, and CS deletes or replaces it as needed.
So my two questions are,
1. Do you have any advice for a better way to make a resource generate only on water in vanilla; and
2. What is the best way to achieve proper combatibility with RSO and deep sea oil generation?
Edit: orzelek, feel free to PM me if you would rather discuss this there. I'd be very grateful for any advice you can give. Thanks!
Edit2: the "no oil on land" works after all, but the preview is wrong of course. Still interested in any general tips.

Doing above would mean adding config to it for RSO would work and should spawn only in water. \n \nIf above 2 steps won't work then it gets tricky. One of issues is that RSO is not guaranteed to add resource exaclty inside generated chunk - it can be in one of neighboring chunks (or farther if resource patch is big). This might affect your mod if it searches for oil wells using generated_chunk event in the chunk that was generated.",

I have installed Factorio on Steam Deck after the 2.0 and Space Age release and tried launching it with both Proton 9.0-3 and Proton Experimental.
Launching with 9.0-3 leads to this error immediately:
proton90.png (412.06 KiB) Viewed 667 times
Launching with Experimental leads to the game loading to 50% and then crashing with the following:
protonExp.png (407.19 KiB) Viewed 667 times
Please forgive me for the photos instead of screenshots. I have attached the logs (previous – Experimental, current – 9.0-3).
This happened first on 24th, so I guess it started even before 2.0.11. Obviously, I expected the game to launch at all.
I have verified the game files' integrity and reinstalled it, but to no avail.
The game worked fine before 2.0, but the last time I've launched it was sometime in March.

Currently there is no way to get coal on Fulgora without importing it, but allowing plastic to be recycled into coal would easily fix this. Plastic counts as a chemical process but batteries don't, despite both being crafted in a chemical plant with a fluid ingredient.

I was sick of not having a clock in our multiplayer server and the mod infrastructure doesn't seem to support collecting system time, so I hacked together something stupid.
Video
How does it work? It is a separate Python script that runs on the system that is hosting a Factorio headless server. Upon execution it gets the current time, compiles a set of commands to place stone blocks at certain coordinates, then feeds those commands to factorio-init. Cron ensures that it runs every minute, or however often you want it to update.

BiterBias - Less spitters, less problems

Mod Info:
Spitter spawners actually spawn a mixture of biters and spitters, with a preset ratio (affected by the evolution factor). Now you can control that ratio, so that you can choose to have more biters and fewer spitters (or vice versa). To compensate for the difficulty reduction, there is an option to make the bigger biters more likely once the evolution factor allows their spawn.
No images for this mod, as it is so simple and is an abstract modifier.

You can drop-into-assemblers (or coal to furns) holding the drop key and dragging the mouse around.
Usually this means a small timeout before spitting onto the ground.
Yet each new "selected" target automatically gets dropped-into.
Fun fact: if the target is still a ghost, it is a valid target! hehe.
expected: ghosts being ignored.
Here's a small showcase.

May the bugs get the taste of the bug hammer in this holy debugging war.

Is it possible to get both Angel's ores and Bob's ores (and yuoki's or any other mods for that matter) to spawn on the map at the same time (preferably non-infinite)? I'd like to have an Angel's processing facility, but I also want the complexity of dealing with so many ores in my mining and train network. Thanks.
PS I asked this in the discussion area of the mod portal, but I don't know how much traffic that receives (I'll delete that one if I have to).

Rocket control in SA via modding api

I have been wondering how can you control a rocket with the modding api. There is the event "on_rocket_launch_ordered" but reading the docs I don't see any "destination" or similar either on the rocket or on the silo. Also on the silo there is the launch_rocket method, but it doesn't accept any parameter and just launches the rocket to the same planet it is sent from. Am I missing something very obvious or how does the game handle where a rocket goes?

Keeping biters at bay

Has anyone come up with a sustainable, working solution to permanently keep biters at bay on Nauvis while you're travelling around in space? And I mean something that can be left alone so you don't keep having to go back to Nauvis just to maintain stuff.
I've got something that semi-works but I still have to go back regularly to repair/rebuild things.
This is my base on Nauvis.
03-16-2025, 14-49-50.png (1019.82 KiB) Viewed 507 times
I have a train that continually travels round in a loop and stops at each station on the loop, like this.
03-16-2025, 14-51-32.png (3.5 MiB) Viewed 507 times
Each station looks very similar to that. The train distributes turret ammo and repair kits for the robots at each station. The train also has two artillery turrets which take out biter nests each time the train stops. The biters attack where the train was but the turrets shoot them all. This maintains a buffer zone around my base.
Sometimes the biters destroy a turret, I've not yet taken to putting spare turrets on the train for robots to install, maybe that's part of the answer.
Obviously the artillery turrets need restocking so I have an artillery shell manufacturing factory which loads them all up at a single station.
03-16-2025, 14-55-50.png (3.79 MiB) Viewed 507 times
Naturally I have a supply chain working automatically from Vulcanus to keep the shells being built up and I'm making my own calcite in orbit around Nauvis.
Interested to see what anyone else has tried for this.

Laser turrets don't need ammo, just electricity, so it's easier to build and keep working. Flamethrower turrets deal incredible damage, need an oil suply very easy to add and have almost no oil consumption. One single oil well is enough for the whole base.

But my internet is slow, I don't want to update mods that not in my save. The only way i can do now is select every mod in my save on 'mods -> updates'. 'updates' tab doesn't support search, so i must spend some time to finish the job.",

"content": "Which version of Factorio are you running? There are two branches. The Stable release which is currently 1.0.0 and the experimental branch currently 1.1.6. \n \nSpace Exploration's latest is Version: 0.5.23 Date: 13. 12. 2020 and is compatible with Factorio 1.1.x. The SE version that appears to be compatible with Factorio 1.0.0 is 0.4.51 \n \nLooking at the download archive for SE, it looks like you must be on Factorio 0.17? The mod manager will only download mods that are suitable for the current Factorio version. Factorio 0.18 had some significant changes that would mean that mods that have been updated may no longer run on 0.17. The same is true for Factorio 1.0.0, and the current experimental release. \n \nSynching mods for a save will work for the currently installed Factorio version, and should give you the latest version of the mod that is compatible with it. Your versions seem a little odd, so perhaps we need some more information about your Factorio environment?",

The only way around it is to use the stand-alone zip version of factorio and have one version per modpack, so that you don't have tons of unused mods around. Or if one knows how to use \"factorio.exe --help\" one can just make a few shortcuts with different mod directories.",

Factorio Forums • [Lou][2.0.28] Water cane plant not picked up by Ag Tower
|
What did you do?
I placed an Agricultural tower when trying to plant more yamako fruit. After it cleared away all other previously existing vegetation I started to place down with my character the Overgrowth Yamako Soil.
What happened?
I noticed that not all the tiles were green that contained no buildings on it like expected with overgrowth soil. As I was hand placing the soil without shift force placing I guess it put down a ghost.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I expected that regardless of any soil placed down the "water cane" plants would all be cleared away in the ag towers zone since they are of no use hanging around. It seemed like maybe this is an issue when It is on a border with another ag tower? The next one over is at max distance but still getting full coverage of the larger 3x3 tiles which equal 1 ag tower square.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
I think it's only happening at the farthest reaches of the ag tower or when it's on the border with another ag tower.

Output more fluid when using higher quality recipes (i.e. for Holmium Solution)
|
Ideas and Suggestions

TL;DR
When using a high-quality recipe that outputs a fluid, the quantity of the output fluid should be increased according to the quality.
What?
Somewhat self-explanatory; see TL;DR.
Why?
Currently, creating things such as Holmium solution with higher-quality ingredients leads to just nothing happening. You simply get the same amount of regular Holmium solution as you would normally.
Now, I understand that quality fluids are undesirable, but at the very least, the higher-quality recipe should produce a higher amount of fluid output.
Otherwise, the Quality mechanic is completely wasted on items such as Holmium ore, which provides zero benefit above its normal-quality variant.

After upgrading to version 2.0.30, Factorio can no longer check updates or mods.
Downgrading to 2.0.28 resolves the issue.
I am using macOS Ventura 15.2.

Quality Upgrade Blueprint (nº) Tier

The concept of the suggestion is to implement a signal that automatically detects a next tier depending on how much you need to add to another tier, as well as a way to upgrade the tiers automatically like how you can do with the default upgrade blueprint (It could be Ctrl+Left-click and Ctrl+Right click).
The amount of + Tier should have the limit of the integer of the signals, as there's a mod that add unlimited tiers. ( https://mods.factorio.com/mod/infinite- ... rom=search )

Signal to switch automatically to another Tier (Speculation)
03-14-2025, 11-50-35.png (1.46 KiB) Viewed 147 times
Example:
+1 Tier:
Left-click: Common -> Uncommon -> Rare -> ...
Right-click: Legendary -> Epic -> Rare
+2 Tier:
Left-click: Common -> Rare -> Legendary
Right-click: Legendary -> Rare -> Common
3+ Tier:
Left-click: Common -> Epic -> Legendary (since there's no higher than Legendary)
Right-click: Legendary -> Uncommon -> Common (since there's no lower than Common)
The idea to make upgrading with blueprints easier while being flexible with mods that add more tiers.

[0.16.50] I can not create a recipe

I play the factorio modpak seablock pack 0.2.11 .
I ran into a very strange problem. I tried to create a paper with the necessary resources in the inventory, but the game tells me that I can not craft it.

I thought that maybe it's other item? But after the craft it turned out to be exactly the item that was needed created the opportunity to create a paper appeared. Why is this happening?

Move Space platform hub UI a couple of pixels (overlapping destination)

In maximum size, when playing on a standard 1920x1080 monitor with 100% scaling, the Space hub platform window always overlaps the destination of the space platforms view by a couple of pixels.
I find this information (esp. current location of the current platform) one of the most important information when handling this UI (especially when either configuring the platform routes and also when deciding to manually drop items. But also in many other occasions).

So I constantly have to move the platform UI by a couple of pixels, so I can see the current from->to planets.

Please, can you move the space platform by default to not overlap the platform list? (Using 75% scaling is just hurting my eyes and unfortunately, you can't scale to e.g. "98%")

[2.x] Storage Chest API support for getting/setting quality on its filter

Already exists

I've been working on some code to set the filter on storage chests and found no option to set the quality setting of the item in the filter.
https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/cla ... age_filter
Before 2.0, I would set the filter using the item prototype. However, the 2.x API doc does not hint at how to set the quality.
Code: Select all storage_chest.storage_filter = item_prototype
The same applies to reading the current filter. You can see the current LuaObject, but no quality information is provided.

I had a really fantastic (and very massive) game going with all of Bob's mods when the game was upgraded and everything broke.
"No problem" I thought. "i'll just wait a few days/weeks & bob will update his mods & i can get back to my game"
