The Factorio Windows binaries are not currently signed. We are working on getting this changed to resolve this kind of compatibility issue. At this time, I don't have information on how to bypass this Smart App Control block...

You can just turn it off.

What you have said is 100% true.

I go too fast a lot when I'm angry. The reason why I am angry is that I've played 750 hours on a save and I'm pretty sure you're baiting me to see how far I'll go at this point,


I suggest you slow down then. Your claims about your playtime doesn't change anything to me about how the mining ...

You can see if it's a Steam problem or not by just installing the regular version of Factorio straight from the website, and bypass the Steam stuff.

You can see if it's a hardware or a Windows problem by booting into Linux Mint from a USB stick and seeing if it works there.

So, from what I understand,...
WUBE always wanted to do SA, but didn't have time, and wanted to get 1.0 out. After they release 1.0, Earendel singlehandedly wrote his/her own enormous SE mod, equal in complexity (or moreso, if you consider the secret ending) to what WUBE was working on as SA ...

Nothing is ever "upgraded" the game. Items get removed, and new items can get put in their place. So what you are describing as "upgrading" is actually removing and then replacing.

The easiest way to kill small and medium demolishers is with . Materials 100% free on Vulcanus.

Out of curiosity, do you want to run it on the Switch just to see if it can be done? If you want to play it seriously, how in the heck could you see anything on that tiny screen? I specifically play Factorio on the biggest monitor I can fit on my desk.

You might have better luck running Linux, since it tends to run much better than Windows on most hardware.

The easiest way to try it is: .

You can just boot from a USB and give it a shot to see if it works without touching anything on your hard drive ...

It's not a difficult achievement technically. For me, the difficult part is just remembering not to do it accidentally, as I've handcrafted many, many things over hundreds of hours of early game play over the years. For me, once I get to bots, I'm a lot less likely to forget and accidentally craft ...

Sounds like a problem with one of your mods. You should probably remove them.

I do let the science delivering platforms sit at Nauvis until they're empty. just so that the supply of science stays full-ish on Nauvis.

I don't let platforms wait in orbit until something becomes empty. The planets request a rather high amount that works as a buffer down on the planet. So ...

The simplest way is:

I built my logistics like this:
For every planet, there is one dedicated platform always flying from that planet to Nauvis and back, bringing the science pack from that planet and optionally stuff that's meant to be used on Nauvis. On its way back from Nauvis, it brings stuff manufactured on ...

I'm sorry that I missed K2 in the title, as well! I apologize! K2 is indeed, a heck of a challenge.

But the wood thing in K2 is solved by putting up greenhouses, which produce wood, so you don't have to run around farming it by hand.

This isn't what you asked, but I'm going to throw this out... Since all platform engine fuel is harvested from asteroids, is there any reason not to just bounce the platforms back and forth from Vulcanus to Nauvis constantly, regardless of anything is needed at all? Is there any particular benefit ...

You didn't say you were playing K2. That's a whole different thing. I tried it and didn't enjoy it. I wish you all the best with that, though!

First you need to mine copper, move it to an assembler to get wire made, then move that to another assembler. At the same time you need to be producing the other needed materials, then move that. You get the picture. So you end up with dozens of mines and conveyer belts simply to create ...
