I don't know why exactly, but connecting a VPN fixed the issue. My theory is that the home router doesn't handle UDP that well and VPN makes it route through TCP. You don't know which router messes it up, I'd say its likely not your home router, but some router inbetween you and your server which i...

As per post Performance problems and how to report them, your report is not complete.

Hi, I have a performance problem during big (204x204) blueprint preview (FullHD, AMD 5600x, Nvidia 1660 Super). UPS/FPS go from 60 to 44 in new game (and in my actual game save from 60 to ~35) just by previewing the blueprint. You can find the blueprint in the inventory/hotbar of the save file (Test...

"Empty space request" for blueprints as mentioned by kovarex here is similar to what I suggested here, but deconstruction blueprints / or elements marked for deconsturction inside a blueprint would remove if element + orientation match. With rail replanning, maybe there can be a way to hav...

In case you didn't know, one can cancel deconstruction orders with [Shift]-[Deconstruction planner] on the entity https://wiki.factorio.com/Deconstruction_planner#Cancelling_deconstruction_orders I do know that. With bigger blueprints and multiple spread out partly overlapping areas its not that si...

My idea: Blueprints which deconstructs every matching real item it has inside. Add it either: - as right-click action - as a mode to enable with a button press - a toggle inside the blueprint's editor (toggle should change color of the blueprint from blue to purple or so) This can help with large fa...

Allow ghost placement (blueprint) to cancel deconstruction of same element on same position.

To me this sounds like a no-brainer, but for it to be missing I suppose there are valid reasons.
So add it with a modifier key or toggle option in settings.

I dont remember featurs of sandbox mode, but atm im using Creative Mod with cheat mode, instant blueprint, instant deconstruction and god mode enabled in "personal cheats" and feel quite comfortable in planning.

Often you can place them in map view easier as you can scroll out more.

Overlapping things are shown in blue.

Is this "workaround" suitable for your use cases?

Umlaut search seems to be case-sensitive. Experienced it with the following example, and seems to be the similar for the other 3 german-specifc characters [äöüß vs ÄÖÜẞ]: Language: German Searching for "ö", shows: factorio_8U8VPaYJB5.png Searching for "Ö" shows: factorio_RQXI2o2R...

For me, the scenario folder can only be found inside the game install dir, not in the appdata folder, and its freeplay.lua has no "global" inside

Greetings everyone. Been playing this game for a couple of months and having a blast. At the time of purchase, I had no functioning computer and opted for buying the Nintendo Switch version of the game. Later on I found out that the Space Age DLC and 2.0 version were on their way. I was excited but...

@Twinsen: Have you considered that inserters start missing items passing by on belts when they are low on power? This is actually a fail mechanic where the factory will start working in a strange and unpredictable manner or even grind to a total halt in some circumstances while being underpowered. ...

At the bottom of the Factorio.com download page is a gray button that says "Download older releases..." and brings you here: https://factorio.com/download/archive/ That said, I don't think your issue is version related, as all 1.1.x versions are able to port up blueprints from as far back...

Oh, well that might be a possibility. Feel free to close this.

I was going to report sudden power outage (solar panels suddenly providing much less power during day) when I had to leave the pc, forgot to pause and it turned into a crash after a couple autosaves (latest autosave also attached). The power outage has fixed itself after reopening the save. I hope t...

Perhaps this would be a chance for the devs to pick out a few highlight mods to put on the E-store as free purchases, which might allow them to bypass the storage limits? I know other games exceed that limit significantly. I think this would not work for most mods that adds images or animations in ...

I fail to see how this is a problem for multi-item trains

I must admit, I do like the Nintendo switch version Me and some of my friends have had a hoot playing it however, the one gripe that I have with the game is the fact that I can’t download any mods and I understand that it’s definitely hard to find a way to port mods on a Nintendo switch but I have ...
