This is not exactly a solution, but a great workaround: have you tried Factorio Zone ? It is completely free—funded by donations—and should have a great connection to most places as it runs on AWS servers.

I don't really understand what exactly "grid position" is supposed to be. Is it just a way of saying "not centered on the red flag"?

Grid position is just an offset from the cursor when placing the blueprint. The change is completely visual.

This sounds like it would fit better in ideas and suggestions

They are almost certainly pathing around the lake; to my knowledge there is no path limit. If there is a limit, it is much larger than the distance around that lake.

Are you sure that they are the same version? It could be dependent on a different version.

While learning to use the mod, I noticed that it's possible to set priority for stations. I have two questions regarding that: 1) Will stations with lower priority numbers be used before ones with higher priority numbers, or vice versa? Depot: (ignores Requester & Provider signals) […] Depot Pr...

What mod is that? It is not a mod . You can access it in the base game by typing /editor into the console—sc. the console is often named the chat. Does it work even after you reached the border of the map? (after revealing the void chunks) It will work, but only on newly generated chunks. To regene...

This sounds like it could be performance heavy: the map icons already add ~1 ms to update time without merging.

The current value is misleading in representing the actual output of the pumpjack.

I agree it is misleading but the rate reported is more like a representation of the amount of resource left, just like mining drills.

Maybe it should be displayed as a % rather than a rate.

Your military mod changes rock mining results: what does that have to do with military?

Gates, fun, but I never use them. Prefer landmines, plus I do everything in map mode. Cosmetically, however, I can see uses.

Gates are the only way for trains to pass through walls.

With that headlines I mean some text after finishing game. Like "Created by, main designer, voice actor" and this things. Like when movie ends.

Oh, I would call those 'credits.'

They are in the menu under about>credits.

It seems like most posts require people to guess what the problem is & ask for clarification because the screenshots provided often have not enough information.

Perhaps there should be a help template like the one in ideas and suggestions.

No one else has this problem, sic they must be doing it differently. This would imply that the problem is not game balance but player technique. You implied earlier that you are trying to wall in your entire base: I do not believe that anyone else does this. Most people use “pillboxes” consisting of...

Hi there! Two questions: 1) Is it some kind of mod - moduled substations? I can't do it in vanilla but I imported such BP and wonder what is it? It is not a mod. I have gotten this before accidentally when editing blueprint strings using https://factorio.tmin10.ru/ It may also have been created thr...

Yo do realize that the paraistes are not the biters (the natives), but the engineer (the invader) ? Why are you assuming the aliens are necessarily "good" and the engineer is necessarily "bad"? There's no proof the aliens are natives, and even if they are, that does not mean the...

Map exchange strings cannot be saved within the game.

You can save them in blueprint descriptions.
(Just a helpful tip, nothing else)

Hi all, I’m a new Factorio player and about to start nuclear power and thought I’d found the perfect setup that can grow as my factory demands grow, but the original pastebin link no longer works. Also, I get a bad gateway error when I try to access the ghostbin links. I’m assuming that game update...

Wait, since when do locomotives have equipment grids? Is that from a mod?

Yes, probably Automatic Train Painter or Vehicle Grid.

It is either an iron gear or an iron cog wheel—cogs are the teeth on a gear.

An iron gear wheel would be a wheel made of many gears, no?
