Re: [0.14.8] [Linux] Crash while playing

I've posted it as attachment since "Your message contains 97082 characters. The maximum number of allowed characters is 60000."

Not sure where to find that symbolized stacktrace it mentions.

Re: New server browser (search by country, mods, player name, etc.)

The devs are aware of this: I asked for permission to run it.

What do you want them to do with it, integrate these options in the game?

[0.14.8] [Linux] Crash while playing

This is probably going to end up in the "could not reproduce" folder, but thought I'd post it anyway in case you can make sense of it, or if more people have this issue. I was playing with a few other players (someone else hosted). I think the last thing I did was hit "r" to rota...

Re: filter high ping/latency players? (0.14.7)

Okay, thanks for the info and link. For the record, I'm kinda against geoblocking. Choosing a team in/around a specific timezone for coordination reasons (so that you're online around the same time) makes sense, but especially in 0.14 outright blocking of poor/distant connections is a bit unnecessar...

Re: Multiplayer Steam name (Factorio user name) ban option?

Seconded on that voteban would be abused, assuming bans are permanent. In another game someone made a mod that turned kickvotes into temporary bans, for maybe 20 minutes (typically the maximum length of a game). That worked wonders to get annoying people out (they'd otherwise keep reconnecting and p...

Re: filter high ping/latency players? (0.14.7)

You could block IP addresses from outside that region in a firewall (iptables for example). There was a site capable of generating lists of IP ranges for countries, I don't remember where. You could also extract the data (or read it dynamically) from Maxmind's free geoip database. Not knowing much a...

Re: memory for headless multiplayer?

I don't know what the limits are, just look at their pricing page. Apparently Factorio's headless server (24/7 or not, I don't know) can stay under that limit wi...

Re: Unofficial Factorio Troll and Griefer Database (FTGD)

I don't think that's hijacking the thread. All content is in the first post and as long as we don't make it a fast-paced 5-page discussion that OP can't reasonably keep up with, it's relevant to discuss here right? In any case, I have experience with a similar database for another game where we had ...

Oops, forgot to respond after uploading the feature. If you previously visited the site, there is now a button to load the previous settings.

Re: memory for headless multiplayer?

The "Big City # one rocket per minue # EU West" server is a rather big one though, at least in my experience. Perhaps the biggest map I've downloaded yet. Things will grow to this size eventually with enough players, but if you are looking to have some fun with a few friends, it's not a go...

Re: The <ref> tag does not work

Ah, I thought that forum was for game bugs, not requests for the wiki (all the posts are about the game). Do you want to move the topic to avoid duplication or should I create a new post, perhaps more in bug-report style?

New server browser (sort by distance, search mods and players, etc.)

The in-game server browser has limited filtering options, so I made a new one!

Re: The <ref> tag does not work

Where? Ctrl+f on the wiki for "report" or "bug" yield nothing. And it's more of a feature request, not a bug (I assume it was deliberately turned off).

The <ref> tag does not work

There is currently no way to refer to sources or make footnotes, other than linking to external URLs. The issue is, there is not always a URL to link to if it's OC or (in rare cases) offline content. As a workaround, one might use a service like http://because.a.tweet.doesnt.fit.lucb1e.com, which st...
