    My journey to find scale in Factorio

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 07:56 PM PDT

    I am trying to find the mass of as many components as I can. How? By finding the only non-arbitrary unit in the game: Energy. I found the real-life energy density of coal, the amount of energy in a coal unit, energy required to smelt iron, coal use rate in a furnace, and coal/iron ratio, and I have concluded that the weight of an iron plate is 38.7931 grams.

    The math if anyone's interested: 1 Coal = 4MJ Coal has 24MJ/kg 1 Coal = 166.7 grams Real iron smelting energy = 6.75MJ/lb 1.68 coal/lb iron Furnace needs 180kw (180 KJ per second) One coal lasts 22.2 seconds Iron takes 3.2 seconds One coal can smelt 6.9 iron (nice) Lb iron = 1.68 coal = 11.592 iron plates 1lb ≈ 450g 450/11.6 = 38.7931 grams per iron plate

    (this is my first post on the sub btw!)

    Docker / Singularity + FactorioTools

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 08:32 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    I'm a researcher working on a paper regarding automation in Factorio. To run Factorio efficiently I want to run it in the headless mode on a higher powered computing cluster (HPCC). However, the cluster doesn't support Docker - but does support Singularity.

    I've successfully pulled the docker image, as a singularity file, by using the native command:

    singularity pull docker://factoriotools/factorio

    However, when I tried to run an instance of it:

    singularity instance start factorio_latest.sif test

    I get a bunch of errors:

    ERROR: container cleanup failed: no instance found with name test

    FATAL: container creation failed: mount /proc/self/fd/3->/var/singularity/mnt/session/rootfs error: while mounting image /proc/self/fd/3: failed to find loop device: could not attach image file to loop device: failed to get loop flags for loop device: no such file or directory

    FATAL: failed to start instance: while running /usr/libexec/singularity/bin/starter-suid: exit status 255

    Part of the issue, I think, is the fact I don't have root access to /opt/factorio.

    I also tried this with goofball's Factorio docker image, and I can run an instance without error. Which is odd.

    My other problem is that I'm unsure how to edit a singularity container to point to different directories for save game files / mods.

    Any advice welcome.

    Pressing shift+left click when not in a chest?

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 03:16 AM PDT

    So, I'm playing while tired... and I held down shift and left clicked a stack of accumulators. The stack vanished, and normally, if I were in a chest, it would have been transferred to the chest. However, I was just in my inventory.

    Does that mean it's gone?

    Set request chest default amount while shift-click from assembler.

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 02:36 AM PDT

    This is driving me nuts. When shift clicking from assembler to requester chest to automatically input ingredients the default is enough materials for 30 seconds. I'd like to change this to 5 seconds, can anyone tell me how to do this?

    There are a few really old deprecated mods that change it to 1 item. I've seen comments that it's in the game options but I cannot find it.

    I've got about 300 request chests to fill! Thanks.

    Need help with world generation, saw a nice map and I'm unable to reproduce it myself

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 01:10 AM PDT

    Hello!

    About two weeks ago I saw a screenshot of a map (I can't find it and don't know where it was posted) and I thought "Oh, I like this!".

    Now I wanted to start a new map but I can't reproduce it.

    So to the map.

    It looked like Island BUT. spread around the main land were many small islands with resources or enemies on it. I wasn't able to recreate this by maximizing water size nor by setting it to Island. First one still has far too much land, second one is... Well... a single, small island.

    So if anyone could tell me how I set this up (do I miss important settings or do I need a mod for this?) it would really help me!

    Thank you!

    EDIT: It looks like the Island World mod but this isn't updated since 0.18 so maybe is there a up-to-date version?

    EDIT: Looks like Island World is still usable but there aren't may resources as it doesn't generate ore and places ground bellow it but just discard ore sites when there isn't any ground bellow it... So is there a way to get ore on this map?

    EDIT: Found the Island Start mod but it has the same resource generation issue...
