Sorry, I’m a beginner, this is a task I need to solve for my studies (such a task I was given, in a playful form) - could you describe it in more detail? I also know that this task must be completed in 3-4 hours including learning the game. So i need something like text instructions what to do... T...

Hmm, looks like you more so want the 6th car highlighted, not the last (otherwise in that last image on the track where the 5th car is the last, that should be highlighted). Strictly speaking, highlighting the “last” car is useless and doesn’t help any, whereas highlighting the 6th car only helps t...

Note, that I don't think all NFTs are inherently scams... I do. At best, they're a new place for rich people to park money, similar to how fine art functions. I suppose the advantage of NFTs is that they're more reasonably priced than fine art, allowing ordinary people to pretend to be rich. The tr...

Also love that blueprint wallet string

What's special about the wallet string

Put it in a hex-to-UTF8 converter like this one:

For those inclined to argue, a simpler method is:

• Click the individual's name.
• Click Add foe.

And the forum is fixed!

The other use case is with spiders. At the moment I'm putting in many zero-zero requesting slots to keep their inventory clean. Eventually I create a base/template spider with ALL the items set to zero then I can copy that to any new spiders, editing in what they should be holding as separate reque...

if the number of replies and views are any indication, i think most people have forgotten about the plans to release DLC for Factorio. 63% more replies and 7000 less views than the Friday Facts from last June, and 30%/57% the number of views/replies as the Friday Facts announcing their future plans...

anyone else think they're unnecessary? brought it up on the discord and was muted after the moderators got offended that someone didn't think it was perfection.

A grossly unjustified action, as I'm sure you expressed yourself with your usual level of politeness, patience, and humility.

why? Wube is so full of itself that they committed to never doing sales for the game, because they want all of the money they can possibly make from this game. it's not about the joy of the players, or it'd be free now that it's done. it was a Kickstarter originally. crowdfunded development. Well, ...

If you only have two stations (in this schedule) and two trains, why are you using train limits in the first place?

The spidertrons aren't autonomous; they won't rove on their own and seek out biters to destroy. They can be remote controlled, though, so you can send them anywhere on the map. When you see red on the map, you can send a bunch of spidertrons there to tidily mop up the biters without you needing to b...

And what if a given route had more than two stations on it?

What would it display if there were a load limit, but no unload limit, or vice versa?

Also when there is no place for the items to go, the whole line stops while in fact all those items should get squashed more and more and finally be thrown out of a belt and onto a ground. How could we be so blind here? This will create so many new challenges for a players since they will have to h...

So you've posted a visual bug without any visuals...

You cannot know, how I use the slots. You may solve a problem, where others have none. It’s just not how these things should be developed. Right, but in this case, having a used item open its slot isn't a problem, because right now that does nothing. The item is red. If you click on it anyway, noth...

No, clicking an item with red background just beeps and says the item is already requested. That's the change I suggested. Clicking should just open the existing request for editing. That the item has a red background doesn't help me find it in the long list of request slots. I agree, this makes se...

Have you considered updating and using a mod that restores the alien artifacts?

This one, for instance, says it makes the aliens drop artifacts which you can craft into space science packs, I guess as an alternative to launching rockets:

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AlienSpaceScience

What OS are you using? If it's Windows, you can create a shortcut and rename that instead of factorio.exe.

If you're using Mac or Linux, I can't help you, but perhaps there's something similar you could do.
