I was playing a world that I had previously made in a scenario, but I forgot to put enemy bases in the world. I don't want to start all over after editing the world, but I don't want to have to recreate my whole automation system. I was wondering if anyone knew how to transfer a regular world into ...

jockeril and any other Hebrew-interested gamers here, a question for you: a complete fix, making all of GUI starting from right (a properly made interface for Hebrew), is quite a huge thing, but it could be easier (therefore, sooner done) to invert the text, so the word/string would be displayed co...

+1 :idea: I was thinking of the same thing - when the tanks got changed so that if you made a loading station for a tank, the way they were when introduced - it would fill only the usage slots. After a version change - it would fill up the tanks cargo hold completely. So my idea is that you let us s...

Ah, that is a great shame. I know it limits me on the high end games but as the demo was error free I figured it would be fine. I'm going to assume there's no possibility of a refund? I did attempt to find minimum requirements but couldn't :/ The great shame will be if you wouldn't be able to play ...

But since I can't mod, this option is not one I have. you're doing it already by editing the language files. All you need to do is put them in a mod folder, with a mod json file, and the locale folder with subfolder of your locale. Look at another mod to see how they've done it, and for a JSON temp...

That could be a way to go. What would be in such archive? Some kind of "generic solutions"? Will that exist? I imagine the Data Archive to be something like an "uplink" that comes once you have blueprints available. That uplink gives access to the Archive in which you may store ...

I agree - I had to sleep on it and read it two more times to get an idea of what to do with those combinators... but now I'v got some ideas

I can't wait to try them out !

Out of curiosity: Would reversing the order of character in the language file fix it visually, or there would be some other typographic issue to remain? ... Practically every modern OS and UI library has a builtin BiDi/RTL support. I don't know if Allegro (the graphics library used in Factorio) has...

The problem will come when an update is done (and that's another bug I reported but got shot down) - if the file is changed, it's got new CRC and that makes the update fail. I'll need to send the new translation file to the #devs to integrate into the version before a new update comes. But, if ther...

Out of curiosity: Would reversing the order of character in the language file fix it visually, or there would be some other typographic issue to remain? Yes it will. I started reversing the text of some of the lines and plan to do them all, once I get a small program that will take a string and rev...

*Any* thoughts, #devs ?

Another example,

I've searched the forums before I decided to start this post - FYI, It would seem that when switching to a Right-To-Left language (namely Hebrew, which surprised me to find) makes that language's text appear inverted in the menus ( and I suppose the rest of the game ). Attached are some examples. me...

Hey, I was wondering if the game is still being updated, before I buy it? Well, it can't be garantued, but there no obvious reason why the devs would stop the development of the game now. But even if they would: The game is already pretty stable and quite big - many hours of fun could await you if ...

My error message is slightly different, and comes in a Windows dialog box: Error when opening D:\Program Files\Factorio\bin\x64\..\..\data/../tests/x64/FactorioTestIntegration.exe for reading. No such file or directory Those forward slashes look suspicious to me... Windows 8.1 64bit. You need to ru...

What I don't understand is why it makes a difference whether one makes a change to a file you'd want to write over when you update Because factorio saves on download time/space by using a Difference comparison to procedurally build the new file from the old file. so if it doesn't have the correct o...

LOL in pointless way

I just can't stop laughing...

It's pretty much the pinacle of automation, a fully autonomous factory which is impossible to interact with. Meanwhile you're staying on the planet. As I understood it, you don't leave the planet, you keep on mining, fight against the natives, research completely new stuff... @ssilk - If this is th...

@jockeril By any chance have you made some manual modifications to that file? I don't remember making a change nor do I find a reason for doing that, but I do understand the reason for asking. What I don't understand is why it makes a difference whether one makes a change to a file you'd want to wr...
