Thanks everyone for the replies! For those that replied to use wires: Yep, I totally get that you can wire the chests at the platform and get the count that way. I guess then a question is, what are players using the "Connect to logistics network" feature of the train station for? It seems...

@Loewchen - Good news : I may have found a workaround. Bad news : My save game no longer breaks, but I suspect we can recreate this if this is considered a bug and is needed for testing. Good news : I did some more testing/observation before I tried the workaround and have a theory of what's happeni...

Request: Optionally include "Requester chest" item contents be included in totals when connecting a train station to a logistics network: Something like this mockup: https://content.screencast.com/users/basementjack/folders/Snagit/media/9752b999-292a-4e4b-b633-2ac95a12269c/2017-10-26_21-5...

For a simple reproducible setup see to the end of the topic. Hi there, I've got an issue with trains displaying no-path , but it's not caused by the usual suspects: NOT caused by: Improper signal placement Missing tracks Two directional trains missing an engine on each end. RELATED TO/Caused by: Lo...

Hi, this might be old news, but Nvidia has a new service in beta called GeForce Now. Basically it lets you play games on an uber powerfull gaming rig in a data center somewhere - your PC or MAC send input to the server, and the server sends the "video" back to you in real time. Of all the ...

I've done similar - bought a total of 4 copies now - Given them to others as gifts.

Has anyone else experienced audio glitching on the mac version of Factorio? 1) play music in itunes 2) play factorio 3) at times, and always linked to character movement, Both the factorio audio and itunes audio will 'glitch' where it replays a small segment 2-4 times. This could totally just be my ...

TLDR : Blue science packs are too hard, basically requires a main bus/belt array too early in game. Long version: Blue science packs are too hard, You pretty much have to have a main bus/belt array to make them. It's too early in the game to require that of new players. I'm an experienced player an...

I actually liked the train tutorials as is. I agree that some more advanced topics like nuclear do require some explanation and the tutorial mechanism is great for that. I also think you should focus on another area: the first few hours minutes of game play. I think all the early game basics need tu...

Not sure if this is new with 15.22, but I noticed today that trains stops in Out of the box (no mods) factorio have an icon for Logistic network - does anyone know how to connect this, and what that does?

Hi, Factorio 15.21 MacOS 10.12.5 Windowed mode (not full screen) Resizing the screen results in a black screen, and no game sounds, for anywhere from 3-6 seconds. At first I thought the game crashed when I resized it. A minor bug to be sure, but if it's not map specific then it might be something to...

You know those alerts that show up on the bottom of the screen when one of your items is being attacked? are those logged somewhere (or can they be with a setting?) When I bring up the console with ` I see messages like "can't insert x because player inventory is full" Ideally if I could t...

In factorio 15.x does anyone have thoughts on the best research progression once white science is available? I've researched everything else an am wondering if I should focus on military (laser turret damage, combat robot follower count) or production (2% bonus for mining and oil)

Thoughts?

I get confused by this as well. What I typically do if I can't remember is look at the number of solar panels (in your case 34,000) and multiply by 60 (power output per panel) in your case thats 2,040,000 - which is the 2 gigawatts. You'll notice in the morning that your number one consumer of power...

Thanks Koub, saturn7 & Aeternus ! I feel kinda silly now. I looked, still didn't see the science packs, but I had a save game just before the rocket was launched so I reverted to that and launched and sat and watched it - sure enough 1000 science packs were right there, and they were siphoned of...

Also if someone could post a screenshot showing where the white science packs appear - it sounds like they should be visible in the rocket UI?

Can anyone verify if this works in 15.18?
in the screenshot, note that 1 satellite was launched, but no science packs are present.

Hi, I've never seen white science packs, so I'm not familiar with how they work. I had a save game just before I launched the rocket (game v 15.16) Opened the save game in 15.18, launched the rocket (see top corner) I don't see any white science packs - I read somewhere that you get 1000 white scien...

I just wanted to do a shout out to Daniel James Taylor the person credited with doing your sound/music.

The sound effects in Factorio are all fantastic, and really enhance the gameplay.

I was totally not expecting a fix for this today!

Wube/Factorio teams Rock!

I have bought 4 copies of the game so far, and will find someone else to spread the word to and buy them a copy!
