I have had steam synchronization turned off for years and use my own save distribution/sync mechanism. My current saves are roughly double what is allowed on steam. Factorio recently started giving low steam storage alerts on every startup even when steam cloud sync is disabled. I can't find an obvi...

I personally would prefer all the compression hacks stay removed. Instead, make a belt compression/insertion device. Something like a single-width splitter that you place in-line in a belt and can point an inserter to. The idea being anything that is inserted into this device is merged onto the belt...

The barreling pump was missing from my world. I'd already researched fluid-handling. I fixed it with:

Hmm. Instead, I did this: - turned off the use-angles-barreling setting, - turned ON the auto-barreling option to get the side effect of hiding the recipes, - loaded my world originally created on angelsrefining 0.7.3 or 0.7.4, and /c game.player.force.technologies["fluid-handling"].enable...

I've run this command: to try and regain access to the missing tank recipe. It still doesn't show as an effect of "Fluid Control" but at least I can craft it now.

Is this likely to cause problems for me later?

-use angels barreling: Use either the vanilla barreling (heavy pump and tech is disabled) or angels barreling (vanilla tech is replaced and heavy pump added) -use auto barreling: Only takes effect if using angels barreling, changes heavy pump to furnace type and hides all barreling recipes. Should ...

I can't find a way to build Storage Tanks - normally unlocked via "Fluid Handling". These are used for fluid tankers. Is this intended?

(I'm using bobs+angels+petrochem+smelting. The most recent update is refining 0.7.5)

I'm confused by the 0.7.5 refining update, the fluid-handling technology changes and the settings controls. If I start a new world with the default settings, the crafting tree shows all the fluid barreling recipes immediately enabled, but the research for barreling hasn't been done yet. The options-...

I'm sure this has been asked about before, but I would love to have an option to place signals as though they were pole entities, exactly as in the blueprint, rather than some distance apart. This is the main reason why I've been reluctant to use FARL, and I feel kind of silly to ask for it. This is...

A sample setup using generating power entirely from fission, with a breeder reactor switched on only as needed to balance plutonium/depleted uranium, and forced to full throttle via override signal: http://i.imgur.com/YlBRqg6.jpg I have two hopefully easy questions: What is the second combinator us...

I've tried very rare and small everything ( including biters ). .. - Biters nests are not really small, nor they are rare. You're probably seeing the effects of expansion. They might have started small but the game spawns more and more of them. If you turn off expansion (via the config.lua setting ...

Trains do weird things in Factorio. Take alexzzzz's station in https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=185204#p185204 ... I've seen trains following another train past stations like that, and the pathfinder suddenly deciding that it would be great to drive right through the station simply becaus...

I've had this happen to me multiple times in the last half hour. Some observations: It's always happened with signals on or in close proximity to curves, or when the train itself was on a curve. I have not ever caught the stuck trains on a purely straight stretch. It's always happened in congested a...

The most recent version crashes:

control.lua:111 guiTelSettings is nil
in the on_gui_click event handler. I had loaded an existing save and had not built any new teleporters since the last update.

I "fixed" this by adding initializeVaiables() right before that line and it seems to work.

Huh. It wasn't that hard. I made a quick 0.13-friendy version for you. If it works for you then great, if not, oh well. Summary of changes: recipe of smart hopper -> smart chest ingredient -> steel chest various basic-transport-belt entities -> transport-belt remove 'require defines', add factorio_v...

Should I give up hope on this mod getting updated? May pre-.13 mega factory has a lot of this item and its gonna blow it up if I load it without this mod. :( You might consider doing what I did. I installed the zip file version of 0.12 which operates in a single self contained folder. You can copy ...

I've had this too. Map and junctions created on 0.12 and migrated to 0.13. I have a game save with trains in this state that I can reload at will. For me it was always the same blueprint of a 2-lane, Left-hand-drive T junction. One of the exits repeatedly jammed up in multiple locations on the map. ...

Ah. That explains a few things then. Migration reset a few other things as well and it doesn't seem too much of a stretch that it reconfigured things like this too. In any case, it made things .. interesting.

I have: disableEnemyExpansion = true -- allows for disabling of in-game biter base building however, expansion is still very active. It was disabled in the 0.12 version of the map. If I look in-game in 0.13 with the current mod and the setting disabled, game.map-settings.enemy_expansion.enabled it i...

Am I imagining it or was the crafting speed doubled? I'm seeing previously stable production chains where the MK3 refineries are now depleting their inputs by about a factor of two. I went and looked and I would have sworn that MK3 was craft speed 2 before, and is now 4. I am not complaining - I jus...
