you made an amazing, well scripted trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR01YdFtWFI) will you share your process for making all of that stuff happen exactly when you wanted it to for the video? how do you coordinate such complex systems, did you build a special dev mode just for this purpose?

Hi, It was all done with in-game scripting using Lua code and our API: http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/

I can’t get the new update, is it out in full release or is it going to be out to the public in the future?

January 25, 2018

Hi, it is public beta at the moment, you can opt-in through Steam

We use our modding API to script all the movement in the trailer: http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/

When are you guys going to make the sequel? Factorio 2 could be epic.

Hello guys, thank you for the fantastic game. We are planning large project with friends but we do not know, if we should wait until 0.13 released. Will be possible to convert map from 0.12 to 0.13 easily without loosing some content of 0.13? Thanks!

May 09, 2016

Yes, conversions are always possible. It might require to change some parts of the Factory, but usually not much.

Is it possible to convert a multiplayer save back in to a single player one?

March 29, 2016

There is not a big difference between the saves, you can just load multiplayer save in singleplayer.

How come my laptop wiith Intel Graphics can't run this game, after following the instructions to fix the problem?

March 25, 2016

The minimum for the game is 512 Mb of dedicated video memory.

When the Factorio forum is going to be optimized for smartphones? I would guess not soon, because developing the game itself is more important than the forum. Keep up the good work on developing the game!

March 25, 2016

Yes, we use phpbb, which is 3rd party free forum software. We don't plan on rewriting it, as you said, developing the game is more important.

Will the Singleplayer Campaigns be fixed any time soon? Now that the major release is over?

I don't know what is broken there.

Could you add S-bend train tracks that shift the train one or two spaces over? It would make laying out trains much less frustrating, and, I believe, closer to reality.

March 25, 2016

I'm also missing this piece, but we have so many things planned, that it probably won't be sooner than in 0.14

Could you make the sandbox mode better, firstly that would be awesome if you could drive vehicles and secondly instead of getting items from a chest could you make it so you just click the item and have it. :0)

March 25, 2016

Both is possible :)

You want to add dedicated server on windows?

March 25, 2016

You can use the normal factorio as dedicated server. The only reason we have dedicated server for linux is, that it is common to have linux machines without any graphics, so it allows to run it without graphics.

Hello Factorio devs! One of the most complicated but best games out there and so many amazing things you can make! I do have a problem tho, I have 9.8 (or something similar) and it won't update? It says it checks for updates but it doesn't work, help a friend out please?

If this happens, it is easiest to just redownload the game from the page.

Are there any official list of public multiplayer servers?

March 25, 2016

No, but 0.13 will contain multiplayer matching server.

Why did you choose c++ over other languages?

March 25, 2016

Because I have many years of experience with C++.
C++ also allows hardcore low level optimizations, that very few other languages support.

May 13, 2015

We promised to go to steam once 0.12 is stable, we are already working on 0.12 so it will probably happen in a few months.

ok so i see theres a railgun but know recipe when is that recpie getting added cuz i dont like spawning it in

May 13, 2015

The railgun is now not available in the game, as we need to polish and balance it. So spawning is the only way for now.

You are probably playing the demo. (Check about). In full version, the first option is the "New game".
