    Just updated my game from 0.17.63 to 0.18.3. Loaded my game (last played Nov/2019). And surprise, lost all my blueprints. What can I do? How to backup it? I am sad :(

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 04:44 AM PST

    Is there anything I can do to recover my blueprints?

    Some of them I took from internet, I can still search for it. But I lost my own book.

    How should I backup to prevent it?

    I really really to export my string every time? I was expecting STEAM to save it for me :(

    Mid-End Game Rails?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 08:43 AM PST

    I'm having trouble with congestion on railways trying to make my first kind-of megabase. In the past I have used 2 lines of rails, one going each way but on YouTube and online I have seen people using 4 rail lanes. Which directions are each going in and can anyone send links to junctions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Multiplayer invite.

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 05:39 AM PST

    Hello dear factorians! I already posted a similar post quite a while ago.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/ewqxe0/modded_multiplayer_invite/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

    So I decided to choose Bob's angels and space exploration for this walkthrough.

    I am still looking for people to play with. Although I did play on this map for a couple of evenings already, I didn't get far since I want to everything work at least some what good from the begging, if it is possible with unlocked tech. I did setup simple train system and a couple of blocks with sorting & smelting, starting mall and angels drones.

    So in case anybody wants to join this game please contact me down in the comments or in discord. RedRaven #1361 Everyone is welcome. And remember, the factory must grow.

    ps. in case you would like to know how it looks right now.

    I see overkill outpost, I make my own. Yes, that train is incredibly slow. No, it does not matter.

    Playing with Factorio replay timelapse recording (post 1 - auto framing)

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 08:35 AM PST

    Hello, this is the first in (hopefully) a series of posts where I dive into lua scripting in Factorio.

    https://streamable.com/em0tc

    Settings for this video (1 image per minute, 15fps playback):target_speed_multi = 900frame_rate = 15screen_width = 2000screen_height = 2000screen_scale_factor = 1

    Basically, if you have a save file with replays enabled. You can add scripts to it's control.lua file. This will also work with live games.

    You can make it take periodic screenshots with this command:

    script.on_nth_tick(1800,function(event) game.take_screenshot{ surface = surface, position = pos, resolution = res, zoom = zoom, path = "timelapse/" .. string.format("%06d", event.tick/event.nth_tick) .. ".png", show_entity_info = false, allow_in_replay = true } end)

    take note of the resolution, zoom and position variables

    So, if we recalculate new zoom and position, we can move our screenshot frame. I programmed this script so it keeps all player built entities in frame, zooms out as much as it needs. This is my control.lua:

    local handler = require("event_handler") handler.add_lib(require("freeplay")) handler.add_lib(require("silo-script")) -- settings target_speed_multi = 100 -- speed multiplier frame_rate = 25 -- your end ffmpeg framerate screen_width = 1980 -- your target resolution screen_height = 1080 screen_scale_factor = 4 -- resolution scale factor -- rate is the number of ticks between screenshots rate = target_speed_multi*60/frame_rate resu = {w = math.floor(screen_width*screen_scale_factor), h = math.floor(screen_height*screen_scale_factor)} aspect = math.abs(resu.w/resu.h) z= 0.3 min = {x=0,y=0} max = {x=0,y=0} d = {x=4,y=4} boundAspect = 2 c = {x=10,y=10} buffer = 2 factor = 32 -- screenshot function that runs every N ticks script.on_nth_tick(rate, function(event) surface=game.surfaces[1] -- current_time = surface.daytime surface.daytime = 1.0 name = "zoom " .. tostring(z) .. "_" .. "center x=" .. tostring(c.x) .. ",y=" .. tostring(c.y) longname = name .. "_" .. tostring(min.x) .. "_" .. tostring(min.y) .. "_" .. tostring(max.x) .. "_" .. tostring(max.y) game.take_screenshot{ surface = surface, position = {c.x,c.y}, resolution = {resu.w,resu.h}, zoom = z, path = "timelapse/" .. string.format("%06d", event.tick/event.nth_tick) .. ".png", show_entity_info = false, allow_in_replay = true } end) -- to make the zooming less sudden it recalculates on every 3rd screenshot (every N*3 ticks) script.on_nth_tick(rate*3,function(event) zx = math.abs(resu.w/(factor*d.x)) zy = math.abs(resu.h/(factor*d.y)) div = 20000 zx = math.floor(zx*div)/div zy = math.floor(zy*div)/div step = 0.0001 if(zx < z or zy < z) then if( aspect < boundAspect ) then z = zx else z = zy end end end) -- function that runs on every player-placed item -- updates the min/max values that are used to determine frame script.on_event( defines.events.on_built_entity,function(event) surface=game.surfaces[1] pos = event.created_entity.position if(pos.x < min.x ) then min.x = math.floor(pos.x) end if(pos.y < min.y ) then min.y = math.floor(pos.y) end if(pos.x > max.x ) then max.x = math.floor(pos.x) end if(pos.y > max.y ) then max.y = math.floor(pos.y) end d = { x = max.x - min.x, y = max.y - min.y } boundAspect = math.abs(d.x/d.y) center_diff = math.abs(c.x - (min.x + math.floor(d.x/2))) + math.abs(c.y - (min.y + math.floor(d.y/2))) if(center_diff > 30) then c = { x = min.x + math.floor(d.x/2), y = min.y + math.floor(d.y/2), } end end)

    After the script is inserted into the save, play it's replay in factorio.Once that's done, the screenshots are located in %appdata%/Factorio/script-output/timelapse.They need to be combined into a final video, I used ffmpeg

    ​

    Current limitations:

    • forces daylight on, still hadn't run into desync issues, but have to test more. Looking for a solution of a pause, save time, daylight on, take screenshot, return saved time, continue.
    • takes into account all items that the player built, should add a filter to ignore random offshoots (for example if 5% of items don't fit in frame)
    • can be quite jerky in the start, should add functions that will animate the change in screenshot position and zoom
    • no boundary around edge objects

    Plans:

    • additional settings
    • selection of area to record instead of auto
    • this script is quite messy, need to refactor it in full

    You are welcome with any code suggestions, help and or corrections. I am new to Lua scripting but seems quite simple, coming from js :)

    Edit: yup, ran into desync issues on the save file. If someone knows how to avoid desync and still keep all screenshots sunlit, it would be welcome

    Favourite blueprints for early to mid-game?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 01:13 AM PST

    I've been searching around for new blueprints and quite often find several that only partially work. What are your favourite blueprints for early to mid-game? I'd like to collect a small subset of very useful prints.

    Any good mod packs for long complicated games?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 06:27 AM PST

    So I have 800+ hours of playtime in Factorio (I know, I'm just getting started). I havent plated for about a year but had a lot of fun doing Bobs/Angel/SpaceX with my brother until we realized that the server we were playing at had crawled to a HALT. Like we were running the game at 10% speed.

    Now I want to get back in and my roommate and I want to give this difficulty another go. But I havent played with the new updates to Factorio, so I want to hear if someone has a newish modpack for our run?

    Thanks for your help! :)
