Do you guys expericence any negative effects when Vsync is off - specifically, do you see screen tearing?

@hgschmie: what macOS version do you have?

Running with Vsync off let Factorio run smoother indeed on a MacBook Air M2

I mean it's obvious from your answer that it worked for build & reach distance, but not resource-reach and item-drop, and this is miscommunication. I will add the 2 new ones to the Wiki. Hi morsk Could you help me with another one: How to clear console history? player.clear_console() dosesn wor...

Thanks for your swift reaction - Chapeau!

These commands still work for long reach. You can see the difference if you zoom out, and try to delete an item at a far corner of the screen. It works. The change is they don't work in Remote View, because it only does bot requests, not real "reach". I don't know if there's any way to ge...

Im 76 years and follow Factorio since 2016.
anyone beat me?

After cleaning those fans and air vents my notebook does not overheat anymore (resulting in thermal throttling) and the framerate stays constant. Occam’s razor in full swing :-) Factorio folks should indeed ask the user first to try to solve the stuttering with a "blow job" :D Luckily the...

The game slows down significantly after about fifteen minutes, even on up-to-date machines running the latest software. That's what you experience? Up until now I was under the impression 2.0 runs fine for you on both your 2016 MacBook Pro and MacBook Pro M2. Sorry for being unclear dear Posila On ...

/c local reach = 10000
game.player.force.character_build_distance_bonus = reach
game.player.force.character_reach_distance_bonus = reach

This command (as listed on the console Lua site) wont work - can anyone give me a helping hand?

Thank you for the support. Yes, my perception of things is definitelly clouded, that's without question. So I am sorry for overreacting to things. Thank you for your helpful post. Please remember to never take criticism (even if it is strongly worded) personally. Rest assured that all contributions...

Your emotional experience is valid and important... Thank you, it means a lot to me. To clarify, I am not the Mac guy ... I am OpenGL/DirectX/graphics subsystem guy ... and so far this seems to "fall into my department" What I don't understand, given the current state of Mac integration a...

I think you might be confusing GoG and Humble Bundle's applet here... (also, not to be confused with Humble Bundle as a Steam keys reseller itself.) Factorio has DRM for : - The stores : Wube's through the Humble Bundle applet, GoG's, Steam's - In-game updates (much smaller downloads usually) - Mod...

… I saw a notice somewhere that Space Age has different game play than the base game in the early stages of the game, so they recommended that new players start by buying the Space Age key as well. I think you're probably referring to a sentence in this blog post: https://factorio.com/blog/post/fac...

I love it when people tell me I am not foolish! :-) But if "you cannot play Space Age without both keys", does that mean that the game's app on my computer, when it runs, somehow checks with WUBE that I have bought the right keys? I'm not 100% sure how this is implemented, but I believe t...

"It seems to me—please correct me if I'm wrong—that if you have an active Factorio base game, you must remove the Factorio basic.app before installing the space age add-on to avoid the name conflict you encountered. Is that correct?" Basically, yes. However, I should clarify some details....

Hi. I'm a fellow Mac player who doesn't use Steam. This leaves me uncertain: should I have both app bundles in my Mac's Applications folder? Should I just have the factorio Space Age app bundle installed? You don't need both applications; you can use only the Space Age bundle. The Space Age bundle ...

Factorio Space Age, right?

Yes

What is the meaning of the yellow/white different icons on this Forum site on the left?

Did you rename one of the .dmg Container in order being able to install… No. And the name of the .dmg container seems independent of the app bundle contained inside. The names which conflict are the names of the app bundles inside the two .dmg containers. … or did you remove the basic game and drag...
