You know what wouldve been the worst april fools prank? Posted: 02 Apr 2018 08:25 AM PDT The devs making the input and output for oil refineries randomised.

Alright, which one of you is cheat-engine-ing yourself 500-count blueprint books? Posted: 01 Apr 2018 07:57 PM PDT I've been looking at crash logs tonight and came across this crash: 911.494 Error ItemStack.cpp:92: Attempting to save a non-stackable item with a count of > 1: ID: 390, count: 500, stack size: 1, prototype stack size: 1, prototype type: blueprint-book Factorio crashed.

Inspired by the celtic knot interception, and good ol' belt sphaget, I bring you all *The sphagetti bowl* Posted: 02 Apr 2018 06:16 PM PDT Do your belts just not provide sufficient amounts of sphagetti? do you consider normal train interception heresy to the all mighty sphaget? Well fear not, for I have the solution for all you problems!

Mod Request: Automatic tree targeting for artillery Posted: 02 Apr 2018 06:24 PM PDT I was writing this comment when I was struck with a horribe and awesome idea. You know how artillery automatically targets biter nests and worms? That is nice, but what if we could take a step towards lunacy and use artillery to cleanse entire reigons of trees? Edit: also rocks submitted by /u/Musical_Tanks [link] [comments]

Am I the only one who uses bots in oil outposts? Posted: 02 Apr 2018 09:36 AM PDT submitted by /u/Vlad1989 [link] [comments]

I can't be the only one who's first play through gave up organizing. Posted: 02 Apr 2018 05:31 PM PDT Like my base is a MESS. Maybe next save file I'll do my research on braiding, but as for now, I got nothing. submitted by /u/DingleBerriesk [link] [comments]

Seablock Plastic Production Posted: 02 Apr 2018 04:45 PM PDT Hello, I was playing through Seablock and finally reached the stage where I need plastic. I am creating liquid plastic by steam cracking methanol, but when it comes to that I see two alternative options. One is to turn cellulose fiber directly into methanol, the other requires turning the green algae into carbon dioxide, then making it react with a catalyst and hydrogen. The first option is simpler, but seems to require much more green algae whereas the second option requires more additional materials, but less green algae. What is the recommendation for which path to take? Or is there an even better option for generating liquid plastic than steam cracking methanol? submitted by /u/wartknee [link] [comments]

[Suggestion] Let us copy all needed items for a blueprint to a requestor chest Posted: 02 Apr 2018 02:08 AM PDT We can copy all needed items from an assembler to a requestor chest. Then why not all needed items for a blueprint? submitted by /u/Anrond [link] [comments]

Request for UPS optimization - Nukes Posted: 02 Apr 2018 12:58 PM PDT So, just had a ton of fun with the crazy Redmew challenge map, however, one this was very obvious, every single time someone launched a nuke, the entire game would slow to a crawl for 15-30 seconds while the explosion was being processed. So, dear devs, if you can find the time, this one would be great to see some loving. submitted by /u/Grubsnik [link] [comments]

[Question]Any idea why the boiler keeps turning off? Posted: 02 Apr 2018 08:18 PM PDT Hi All, I'm new to Factorio and I'm at the point in the campaign where I need to create a working steam powered electrical system. Unfortunately the boilers keep turning off even though they have enough coal to continue working. Here's a screenshot of the problem. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/si1ver1yning [link] [comments]

Is there any point of replaying the game? Posted: 02 Apr 2018 10:52 AM PDT I just played the demo and was amazed of how amazing the game is,even if it was just the demo. I'm kind worried if the game has any replayability thought.In the sense of what would be the point of playing it again after you beat it?Im genuinely curious. Also do most of you peeps play multiplayer or solo?If the game gets better playing online that would be a big plus for me Cheers EDIT : Thanks for the responses!I cant reply to all of you but thanks for taking the time to help me out!God bless submitted by /u/zdrawwwko [link] [comments]

What is like multiplayer in Factorio? Posted: 02 Apr 2018 08:48 AM PDT What you have to do in multiplayer? How many people are on one map? How much time match lasts? Other? submitted by /u/vasili111 [link] [comments]

Does anyone have a good guide or general tips for making n to m balancers? Posted: 02 Apr 2018 07:57 AM PDT I've seen a bunch of like say 2 to 4 or 1 to x balancers but I need a 6 to 4 and am not sure how to do it submitted by /u/BruinsPatriots1288 [link] [comments]

[Suggestion] Enter key completes number input in requester chest window Posted: 02 Apr 2018 11:42 AM PDT Presently, after adjusting the number in a requester chest's filter slot, you have to click somewhere outside the window in order to remove focus from the textbox. You can then press Space to close the window and do something else. Pressing the Enter key (either of them) should complete the input on that textbox and blur focus away from it, allowing you to click on another filter slot or close the window. Please! Example Image: https://imgur.com/4V9aAA2 Note: Clicking on the invisible portion of the window beneath the upper-right pane does not count as clicking outside the window for removing focus from the textbox, either! This was confusing until I figured it out. submitted by /u/Shendare [link] [comments]
