Aha, ok. Thanks for the info.

I prefer to not be a beta tester. If my game breaks after spending 50+ hours on a map I would be devastated.

Just stay on normal release. Although experimental release is usually more stable than other games' stable release

As long-term user of this forum, I can say, that the factorio staff's behaviour is usually very correct.

And it is rare in a game industry, that you can interact with the devs directly via forum.

Achievements are fine and reasonable for vanilla.
If achievements should be enabled for modded experience is only a question of all or nothing. And they decided for nothing, because it's less trouble than all, i guess.
Every solution between all or nothing is unnecessarily complicated.

I once bought a 49" ultra widescreen monitor to see more of everything, only to realize Factorio lets me actually see less! True, I think even on 16:9, it's not that comfortable. The Shortcut bar in the bottom-middle also reduces the height in the important area. I tend to play with a more lik...

Wow, looking forward to try the gamepad support soon. Thanks!

BTW: These are similar suggestions:

I think OP wants something UI supported, which is different to current "sync mods" function.

There are already different approaches implemented: - The easiest is to use sync mods on loading the save. There is a button to do so.

Why no parallel installation of Windows?

Wow, that's really huge help.
Tried it for the first time and it works almost out-of-the-box
I was able to debug, profile and autocompletion and syntax check brings factorio mod development to another level.
It's easy to track down any performance issues with the mod...
Many thanks for this!

Thank you.That is exactly what I was looking for!

Nice

I use a separate standalone installation for each modpack and don't have this problem.

But, it's merely a workaround

Is it intended that in red science, the very first one, the only way to get lead is by sorting rubyte ore to lead ore. Issue is that it gives nickel ore as well, but nickel has no uses whatsoever until in green science. Can't even process it, so all that can be done is stockpile it somewhere in a w...

Now would you say: are you blind or have a comprehension problem?

OK, then it might be something, when connection happens via the program.
But, I don't know, what could possibly be the difference...

Seems to be an issue with the internet connection Can you download the mod from the website https://mods.factorio.com/ ? If yes, you can download the latest mod and place them inside the factorio mod-folder. You don't even have to delete the older mod version, because factorio takes the newest versi...

Night vision goggles. Completely pointless ever since the update where they made night barely any darker than day, so the game would look good on youtube. :x They should have just removed them from the game as part of that update. Honestly, I'm glad, that night is not so dark. Still the nightvision...
