Multiplayer network (headless, not LAN, also 0.15.26) game hosted by a friend. Multiple bluebook weirdness. * When I share my bluebook, they show up as shared by a playername who has never been in this game (but has played in other games with us, back in 0.14 days.) * I inadvertently removed a bluep...

New in 15.26 (worked in 15.24) -- after my corpse got hit by a train, I was unable to loot my armor (and its rather expensive contents.) I could take all the plain inventory from my corpse, but not the armor, roboports, exoskeletons, Mr. Fusion, sheilds Mk2 (2), and other armor-contents. EDIT: note:...

* Launch Factorio * Play -> Multiplayer -> Browse games * Select HAS PASSWORD: NO * Select HAS MODS: NO * Select a game * Quit the game (or, in my case, get the "Cannot contact server" message.) * Play -> Multiplayer -> Browse again. EXPECTED RESULTS: password & mods settings are as I ...

Love the proposed changes. One small thing... On the inventory/speedbar thing, especially when 1st starting a new game, I like that newly manufactured stuff shows up on my speedbar. As I grow from slow track to medium, from burning inserters to electric to fast, it's nice that the new thing shows in...

Esp for multiplayer, it'd be nice to type my way through the menus.

Found it! "Toggle Lua Console" -- last one on the page on 0.12.33.

Thanks!

Ok, so I did the link Steam account thing, got the DRM-free version, gave to wife and we're greatly enjoying multi-player -- yay! One weird thing, though: I talked a friend through this process, and he set up a server so the 3 of us can play, but my the chat (console) keys (~ or \) don't seem to wor...

What sort of walkthroughs or tutorials are you looking for? Oh, I didn't have anything particular in mind. I was just saying that, in general -- not just for Factorio but for just about anything -- I prefer text walkthroughs/tutorials to video. There are exceptions, but that's my 94% default. :) Re...

Kind of sad that there's no plane in the game (0.12.33) I hope they figure out a way to bring it back (or add it, if it was never in except for the campaign.)

I actually want to watch a replay of my own games -- both for my own fun and to show others. But every update, we get "replay was recorded with 0.x.y and you have 0.x.z; replay disabled" message. Is there any way to upgrade replays to work in the current build? Especially for dot-releases!...

Why so many roboports? Is it just to get the extra charging stations?

No, that sounds perfect. Thanks!

My wife recently discovered Factorio, and we're thinking about playing a Mutliplayer co-op game. (Up to now, she's been playing her factory on my computer.) Do we need to purchase a 2nd copy of Factorio for her computer? Is there a [legit] way to share our copy between computers? (We are running the...

"Ever expanding" (or "play forever") could be cool, though I'm not sure how it would be implemented. My suggestions were more aimed at improving replay-ability. I'm currently watching my wife play and it's fun to see the game anew through her eyes, and I'm playing my 2nd factory ...

I've seen a couple of threads touch a little on this idea, but not this idea outright. If you're familiar with the game Civilization (I'm thinking specifically of Civ:Revolutions), Factorio's victory condition is similar to a "Science" victory there, where one launches a rocket into space....

The original reply (user error) mentions logistics chests. Do storage chests count?

Thanks again!!

Um, ok... creating a requestor chest got them all to dump -- so no bug. But now I'm a bit (more?!) confused. * It looks like construction robots will NOT place on a blueprint; but need to go through logistics chests, right? * If they return things to a requestor chest, but take things from a provide...

I had my construction robots tear down an area I didn't like. They did, then they sat in the field for a very long time (15-20 min?) Now they've been stuck sitting on the roboport(s, 2) -- I assume they're recharging -- for well over an hour. I never see any of them successfully recharge and then le...

Duh, thanks. I kept ignoring that, thinking it was some sort of antenna.

I'm on steam also, and I'm not seeing it (the Electric Mining Drill). Can you please post the answer? It's driving me bonkers.

Thanks!
