The hard facts are: „If you can’t pay the rent you have to move out.“ This counts no matter if you sell toilet-paper, cars, cookies, jewelry or computer games. Anyone requesting or expecting free updates to a once bought product in infinite is a childish dreamer as this doesn't work in the real bus...

That is why I pointed out that sarcolopter was bumping a thread over a year after the last post. That said, I also didn't discover this game until March of 2018. With the coming changes in 0.17, I doubt using splitters for filtering will have any meaningful negative impact upon the game's performanc...

If you look at my suggestion I'm not talking about a manual upgrade planner. I'm talking about an automatic one where you define what you want to upgrade (same as upgrade planner) but the robots automatically upgrade parts of your factory they pick if you have enough items in stock. This way eventu...

Gonna point out a few things relating to the new posts and not the original topic: This thread was over a year old when you bumped it. @Sarcolopter You didn't even post on the topic of discussion but instead replied on a completely off topic. @Sarcolopter Synonym - Noun: 1) A word or phrase that mea...

So I grabbed the mod Long Reach to place a few bits of land fill that my bots wouldn't do (despite easily being in range of my personal roboport.) After placing the landfill, I went back and turned the mod off. However, I still have the longer reach the mod gave me. Is there a console command that c...

Makes the early game, once my basic started base is laid out and setup so much better.

Been reading this thread and I confess I find the debate y'all are having to be funny. I feel like y'all are forgetting the most important thing of all. Factorio is a video game! What y'all are discussing could make for some interesting basis for some scenario type mods, however would not be good as...

I know I'd have my armor and tools stashed in my escape pod for damn sure. What if there were only 3 inventory slots in that pod? (I would personally go construction bot, roboport, and probably assembly machines I guess, maybe electric miner or even burner drills. Three because you start with a fur...

Having launched my first rocket in one game, all new games I make, I use the addon Mega Bot Start. Gives me a Mk2 armor, 4 fusion reactors, some batteries, I think 2 personal roboport mk2s, and 50 bots. Makes sense to me as well if you go by the scenario given by the devs that you are a survivor of ...

My games are very green. I just turn off pollution in the map options. I can also plant saplings that grow into trees.

I managed to get a hold of Noxy/CobaltSky and another modder in Nilhaus' discord and solve my problem. Thanks all who read.

Yes, I did zip it. However, I did so by right clicking the folder and "sending to zipped folder" using the Windows interface. I don't have a separate stand alone zip program. I followed the directions given on the wiki. I was trying to modify the addon: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/XL_Che...

Let me try this question then since no one has an answer for my first one, how do you manually install a mod?

So I wanted to give the mod "Extra Large Chests" a try and was given an error. A fast look at the mod portal showed that others had the same error occur and someone posted that a "then" was missing on line 3 of a file. I unzipped the mod and made the necessary correction and then...

Is there a central repository of all the different formulas used to math out factory production? Just be clear, I am NOT looking for any mod, calculator, spreadsheet, or other "punch in desired production here and we will do the rest for you" sort of thing. I am just looking for a handy ch...

I personally found it counter-intuitive when I tried to build steam power setups that used large arrays of piping. With small systems that are relatively straight forward, it works as expected. What is particularly counter-intuitive is the fact that input sides of consuming structures are "nega...

Can't select what kind of assemblers I am using and other basic factory settings. Makes this tool useless. Also, not 0.16.x.

This tool is out of date. To some extent the numbers are correct, however I suspect certainly belt changes have not been taken into account. It is telling me that a normal belt can handle only 10 steel smelters worth of output of copper/iron plate per belt. In 0.16 this is actually 24 smelters worth...

Unless Synopia is planning to update this, this needs to be unpinned and allowed to fall off the front page. The tool is wildly out of date now. Not only are recipes incorrect, but so are the names of many things.

Essentially yes. That is also what the devs have stated they are considering, both in the post by Rseding91 and on the Reddit page by Dominik. The point you just made was brought in that fluids thread linked above and as one person stated, just how much realism do you truly want? Ultimately, this is...
