This is really not a suggestion for the API. Rather I would like to know if someone has solved it or works around this peculiarity. Otherwise I would have posted in the "Modding interface requests" subforum. I am talking to ChatGPT as we speak.

:D Sure I would try to refactor it at ever greater scale once I fully grasp the current organically evolved "architecture" and simplify it a little bit. Still, for mods that have dynamic (at runtime) event de/registration I think this is the same. That kind of use-case is convenient for cl...

If I understand Factorio modding guides correctly, it's disallowed to store Lua functions inside the "global" table? (not to be confused with Lua's global variable scope!) I am combing through Biter Battles code (descendant of Comfy code base) and what I see there is a spiced spaghetti. No...

I cannot save the game to make any further progress unless there is a way fo make more use out of the 4gb of ram which the switch has. Maybe If switch had 8gb of ram then you could make larger maps on the switch version. I wonder if removing foliage from the map itself would help. The other known m...

Thanks Rseding, as silly as it sounds, that was the answer to really nudge me to look into Windows' text vs GUI mode differences: Read everything, but the real hint is the answer at the end: win32 GUI app that writes usage text to stdout when invoked as "app.exe --help" https://learn.micro...

This continues to happen with 1.1.107 on Windows and only on Windows . Discussion started in this thread: Console / stdin especially on windows Expected: 1. Parent program launches, reads from shell -> stdin 2. Parent starts Factorio as a subprocess with its STDIN pipe open 3. Parent receives comman...

You are right. This thing intercepts parent's STDIN and ignores the pipe that opened between parent and Factorio (stdout -> stdin). Only affects Windows. I will post in this thread shortly: https://forums.factorio.com/posting.php?mode=reply&f=58&t=75627 UPDATE: Aaaaand it's not a bug. Really...

If all you're missing for Win11 is the TPM thingy, there's ways to turn off that requirement. MS even allows some new systems to be shipped like that. You are wrong and don't suggest it again. The best disgusting analogy I can find: You are a pig and you are free not to go to the butcher, but you w...

I wanted to send my friend a link to the "Clipboard woes" chapter of this FFF for being so awesome as to doing the right thing :tm: but your FFF headings do not have an HTML id attribute to link to it: <h4 class="">Clipboard woes</h4> Usually CMS can auto-generate an ID from text...

7.5 year bump! :) I wanted to use footnotes via Markdown->MediaWiki converter (pandoc) but it turns out Factorio's wiki really doesn't render the ref-tag. I assumed this is a basic MediaWiki formatting. Of course it's most used for actual references, but works well for footnotes too to avoid text cl...

Yes this should be in the modding forum. As for adding to wiki if you Gweneph don't have an account there (I made one) and only want this one occasion written down, I can put it in for you. I get that '/h' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. This sou...

Take this page as an example: https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Tutorial:Localisation&oldid=196250 The string inside code tags is literally with spaces in it: title =Category related title Currently what happens if I resize the window or view it on phone, it hides the background of space...

Do you have IPv6? Try to clear DNS cache in Firefox at this URL: about:networking#dns or in Windows if not using Firefox using "ipconfig /flushdns" command. The DNS replies show that the website uses CDN77 it's possible you get served from an overworked/old server or there's a different is...

When you click "Yes" in the Crash message window to open the folder containing the current log file, nothing happens. Expected: Folder is opened in file browser. OS: Manjaro, KDE Plasma 5.27.11, X11 Factorio 1.1.106 and 1.1.107 Steps: 1. Start Factorio on a map 2. Send SIGSEGV using htop 3...
