Whoever has time please test the map downloader and let us know if it's faster and more stable compared to previous versions, especially people who had problems downloading maps. For me it is slower. I switched from 0.14.14 to 0.14.18 today. I have a headless server on Debian 8 in the datacenter of...

While part of me is slightly concerned about the further marginalization of the biters (i.e. more of an annoyance then a part of gameplay) This! Biters are an essential part of the game. I don't like the idea of making the biters less important. I'm glad they are there and I think they take a great...

I also stumbled upon the changes concerning autosave now being configured through server-settings.
Was installing a new Factorio Server on Debian 8 and couldn't get the init script to work.
Thanks for the hint, I changed the files according to the pull requests.

Once you've got the rail planner up, you can hit R to rotate it. It takes some finagling to get it right sometimes, but it will loop it around. Also, if you only have on train on the track, you shouldn't need signals. That being said, I can't remember the last time I had one train, so I could be wr...

How to switch on the autopath railway building? Like it was in animated .gif? Try holding shift before you start pacing rails, this will switch it to placing ghosts for your robots to place, allowing you to plan much longer sections. PLUS you have to rotate the end of the ghost track with the "...

Hello everybody, right now I'm playing Factorio 0.13.13 and started to play around with trains. I wanted to start with a simple copper outpost, to bring back copper ore to my main factory. After a bit of struggeling I build a one way track with a train and two engines which drives back and forth. Al...

Is your script eligible to run multiple factorio servers parallel on the same server? On different ports of course. Which changes would be needed to achieve this?

+1 from me for this, would be very nice for the init script from bisa!

Thank you very much! This was really annoying

When I try to enter a MP game via "connect to server" and reach the password field I cant press ESC, because then the menu would vanishes and I have to quit the game and restart it. Happens everytime.

When I connect to a headless server via "connect to server" to field for the ip-adress is focused and I can type the address or hit enter. The following password field is not focused, so i have to target it with my mouse before I can type in the password. Would be real nice to get this fix...

Ok thanks. We created the map in Single Player, transferred the zip file and started the headless server the "old" way. Thanks for the hint!

Hello,
the ingame map generator and the map-gen-settings.json for the headless server use different names for the same setting. For example:
Gui: Very Good
json: Very-High

Is this by intention? Feels a bit random.

Greetings

Hello, generated a new map on the server like this: /opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --map-gen-settings data/map-gen-settings.json --create saves/generated && chown factorio:factorio /opt/factorio -R And started the map like that: /opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --config /opt/factorio/config/co...
