Re: Question Regarding Blueprints


Coming back to the game after some time, I remembered there are blueprints or ways to make them, and I was looking for it. And I noticed that I can use the keybind alt B to go into blueprint mode and start creating them and so on...

But if I tried to add the blue print shortcut to the area just ...

Re: Android base game

Well, Wube, the company that makes Factorio is a private, for-profit company. So, I think that unfortunately, you will be waiting a very long time for a Android version of Factorio. :(

Re: Android base game

I'm curious... what would the point of that be? To try to play Factorio on a tiny screen, or with a tiny processor, or with a tiny amount of memory?

New account password might have expired?

I asked to be able to edit the wiki. I got an email about it 9 days ago, and am just now getting around to working on it. My password doesn't work. I'm assuming because I waited too long. (?) Who does one contact to deal with these sort of issues?

Re: Better Factory Setup


The simplest approach (which is also reasonably rewarding) is to chase bottlenecks.

Look for machines that are starved for input. What ingredient are they missing? Trace it backwards until you find the root cause, and then figure out how to improve the production of that item. That might mean ...

Re: Better Factory Setup

There's no reason to tear it down, unless you want to! You can continue to play with what you have. You can build a different kind of base next to this one, or you can modify your current base. There's no right answer, here. Just do whatever seems the most fun for you.

Since you haven't launched a ...

Re: Need Help Installing on Bazzite Linux



Just download the version you want to play from the factorio.com website. Unexpand /uncompress the file you downloaded, and then play by double clicking on /factorio/bin/x64/factorio. That's it.

Those instructions on the install wiki are to make a desktop shortcut, but I don't know what version ...

Re: Need Help Installing on Bazzite Linux


Bazzite Linux is an "immutable" Fedora based distribution. The concept of such an immutable distribution is to not install loose files for apps and not have all system libraries preinstalled in the OS but instead use packaged apps, for example with flatpack or snap. These packages include all ...

This is not a helpful attitude for somebody who is starting to use Linux. This is not helpful information for this person trying to play Factorio.

Re: Need Help Installing on Bazzite Linux



I couldn't find a post that walked through the steps with Bazzite, and didn't feel comfortable doing commands that could only apply to other distros. The Factorio wiki installation guide (https://wiki.factorio.com/Install_guide) is very light on details, and the language is foreign to me. Where ...

Re: Is it possible to update to 2.0 in parts?

Firefox can resume on downloads when the internet connection breaks. (It works. I just tested it). So just download using regular ol' Firefox, and it doesn't matter how bad your internet connection is.
