[2.0.66] Error updating Factorio

[0n0w1c]

Mac version update:

Code: Select all

Update failed: Checking update packages failed: File /Applications/factorio.app/Contents/data/quality/prototypes/recycling.lua has unexpected content

I got myself a MacOS setup and I was able to upgrade to 2.0.67 (Space Age) from both 2.0.66 and 2.0.65 without a problem. I would like to know why that particular file on your system has different contents, than the Factorio updater expects. If you could upload /Applications/factorio.app/Contents/data/quality/prototypes/recycling.lua as an attachment here on the forums, or email it to me at sanqui@factorio.com, that would be helpful.

Unfortunately, if I fail to find a fault with the update package, I will have to recommend you to download the full 2.0.67 package and reinstall.

Hmm, so the issue is with the current version on disk?
I notice the timestamp on this file is Jun 23, 2025, the other files in the folder have a date of Apr 14, 2025.
Quite possible I mistakenly modified this file, I do poke around.

Yes, something must have modified the file. The original version uses two spaces for indentation, while yours uses four. There are also numerous differences in spacing between operatiors like , and /. This change, likely made by a text editor's linter, unfortunately corrupted your Factorio installation for the updater.

Yes, agreed. My apology for the false alarm.

A fresh install of 2.0.67 and all is well.

Thank you very much for your time and effort.

No worries. I wonder if the text in the error message could be improved to bring clarity to such issues.
