You can find all the official translations in 2 text files the Factorio game directory. For the Steam version of the game in the default install location it is (for Dutch): "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Factorio\data\base\locale\nl\base.cfg" "C:\Program Files (x86)\St...

You mean the curved faintly colored lines? This is called a Moiré pattern, an interference effect. It might be the native resolution of your monitor is different to the resolution you run Factorio. For example, if your new monitor has a native resolution of 1920x1080, and your previous monitor was 1...

Instead of re-enabling mods one by one, re-enable half of all your mods. If the stuttering doesn't reappear, it's in the other half of your mods. Repeat and search for the mod in the half you identified as producing the lags. This way you halve the amount of mods in every step until you're left with...

To really simplify large combinator creations (emphasis on large ) , you probably need some kind of a programmable combinator. A combinator that is able to execute some kind of simple script, each script line representing one of the basic operations, so it is able to replace one physical combinator ...

The way to oil is this: Locate oil wells on the map. They appear as a cluster of 4-10 purple dots on the map. If you don't see any, explore more of the map. If you get near, the oil wells are black puddles on the ground. Put one pump jack over each oil well and connect their outputs to pipes. Pipes ...

I'm sure lots of circuit experts will jump on the thread to explain to me how I'm a idiot and I must be doing it wrong. Definitely not. The game can be improved in this area. My workaround to the first problem you mention is a save with the sandbox mode. I design all my blueprints (even casual ones...

But it’s a tiny one. And this may be the case where the “solution” might cause more issues than keeping it as is. Well, I think the problem is, that the normal player sees it as obvious bug: “why isn’t the train moving? It’s ready it could start now!” This is a frustrating moment. But where should ...

I believe enemies are a core part of the game. In a world with infinite time and space they at least induce some degree of cost for both. Yes, I played with and without enemies, and if enemies are missing, there is actually something missing in general. Some kind of purpose is missing. And all the ...

Garbage collector train - sounds interesting. Have to think about this. Currently, I have 2 fundamental different station designs: one concept is an loading/unloading station for bulk moving resources, the other concept is a supply station that requests/provides certain items. However, fuel is not p...

This message can also pop up if you add a pipe (intended for one fluid) directly next to an existing pipe that is connected to a fluid system for a different fluid. You assume both will not connect, but actually the game tries to connect each pipe that is next to other pipes with each other. See thi...

But no preorder for me. Preorder is from the ancient days where physical Diskettes/CDs/DVDs were shipped, so you got your CD reserved and shipped at release day to get it at the earliest possible time. Today, at general availability day, you go to the shop website, do the purchase, download, and pl...

As long as there is no means of skipping a station in a schedule, it is somewhat pointless to read the fuel state of a locomotive. If there was a possibility to skip a station, one can insert a refueling station to the schedule that is skipped as long as the locomotive has enough fuel. Since there i...

You cannot have this with the filter inserter, but you can have it with the stack filter inserter. The hand size can have only one value. If you set the hand size, it is set globally for every item the hand may hold. The filter inserter picks arbitrary items from a container as long as it is in the ...

The crucial difference between deactivating stations and train limit is that if a station is deactivated, trains that have this station as destination are immediately repathed and never arrive at that station, while if a train limit is lowered, already pathed trains are still going to that station. ...

I'm not sure why you think being evenly divisible matters. Did I misunderstand something? "floor(free station capacity / train capacity)" means train limit changes from 0 to 1 when there is just space for a full train-load, from 1 to 2 when there is just space for two, etc. With good supp...

Just a few days ago, I researched (and tested) the train and station behavior thoroughly to prepare for building a larger base. I can confirm that there are two different behaviors between disabling a station and setting a station limit. If there is a station with a train limit above 0, and trains a...

Your most apparent issue is probably that every train on every lane will stop in front of the signals, if one train is entering the section between the signals, even if that train (or the other trains) isn't actually going into the station and isn't crossing some other train. This is because the sec...

I would like to mention a different approach. If you focus on even or prioritized delivery to unloading stations, you might focus on the wrong thing (putting precious time into the wrong thing). You're trying to manage item starvation and try to let everything starve at the same rate. Instead, focus...

It's interesting to see all the references to old game versions and old discussions mentioned. But from the perspective of the current state of the game, nothing of that is relevant. It's history. It's irrelevant if or how old blueprints can be used or not, or if some factory has to be "refacto...
