Re: 0.17 DirectX failed to resize backbuffer

Further info: it seems to happen if I change Windows 10 focus to another window while Factorio is doing its loading and checking.

Re: Multiplayer authentication

Hmmm. It looks like it may have nothing to do with multi-player. She gets the same phenomenon when trying to manually change the mods, as soon as she clicks the Install tab. It wants a user name and password to even show the mods list. This is a fresh install of Steam on a Mac laptop running OS 10.1...

Multiplayer authentication

I am hosting a multiplayer game for the first time. I have set a password on the game and added her Steam profile name to the admins list. Once it is running, she goes to her profile name in the Steam main window, chooses friends, clicks on my profile name (we are set as friends both ways), sees I a...

crash during load, after removing AAI Industry

After adding AAI Industry, and getting a short error message at loading my last game save, I removed AAI Industry. Then I got a crash during game loading, after checking sprites. The log is at https://pastebin.com/vAbU3VMG I uninstalled Factorio and re-installed it. During startup, Steam crashed wit...

Re: Friday Facts #306 - Experimental Demo

Continuing the report I posted on Aug 23, 2019 07:37 am It may have been a mistake telling Joy about the earlier forum discussion where the devs stated the design criterion that the Introduction should be challenging even for experienced players. I figured I needed to learn a solution to the post-ra...

And what is your name?

It is the internet bro. You never know who is interested in, collecting and connecting what private information you reveal. As a matter of principle, don't reveal any! Think! ;)
Yeah, the names have been changed to protect the engineers.

Re: Friday Facts #306 - Experimental Demo

I got my lady, Joy, to start playing the Intro inside 0.17.64. She is not a gamer, but is not a complete newbie to Factorio, as she has watched me play 10-20 minutes and heard me tell tales. I later went back and played the 0.17.66 demo, looking for differences, and this report is somewhat adjusted ...

Re: [MOD 0.13] Black Market (sell and buy on the market)

I think the price of gold bars may be too high, especially if Black Market is used with Bob's ores and MCI. I was able to buy atomic bombs and even a missile silo very early in the game. I could have done it even earlier, but I was late to realize I could buy things I don't have the tech for. For un...

Re: [0.17] Game no longer runs correctly (low FPS)

I, too am having slow FPS, and it's hard to maneuver the character because the game is so jumpy. FPS = 6.4 when zoomed in, 10.5 when zoomed all the way out, with alt mode engaged, and 14.7 in map view. I have disabled smoke, use half color depth, all video memory settings have been tried and don't s...

Damage numbers on weapons

I've tried to find an answer to this by searching, and failed. On the laser turret, it says the shooting speed is 3 + 0.9/sec . What does that mean? 3 shots when an enemy comes in range, then a shot every 1.11 seconds? It says the damage is 20 + 8 Laser. What does that mean? 20 physical damage plus ...

[0.17.2] Tutorial experience report

There was a request from the Factorio team to try to break the tutorial and report. I’m kind of a noob (I’ve won the game only 3 times and never made a megabase), so maybe I can bring beginner’s mind to this. Upon clicking on the shipwreck, the screen went dark and there was no response to clicking ...
