- Now back and updated for Factorio 0.16!This mod expands on some gameplay aspects that are limited, such as alternative energy generation, offensive weapons, tanks, defensive walls, etc.I take balance very seriously. Everything in this mod was carefully edited to be as balanced and good looking as possible for an authentic vanilla feel.
- This is a fresh, new tutorial for Factorio version 0.17, and dare I say it, quite possibly the best tutorial on YouTube! You be the judge. Patreon: https:/.

Do the numbers in the 'beacons' column represent the number of modules or the number of beacons?
Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. Use your imagination to design your factory, combine simple elements into ingenious structures, apply management skills to keep it working, and protect it from the cr. Factorio 0.17 Quickbar HotKey demo. Now let's see the available hotkeys related to the Quickbar, at their default settings: Default 0.17.x QuickBar hotkeys. Here's how they breakdown: Shortcut 1 to 10: equivalent to the previous versions' 'Quickbar 1 - 10'. These keys select the items on the top bar.
They represent the number of modules.What does clicking on an item's icon in the 'Factory' tab do?
It omits the dependencies of that item's recipe from the solution. The intent behind this feature is to model the case of building a factory when you are shipping in one or more ingredients from elsewhere. For example, if you are making an advanced circuit factory and want to ship in electronic circuits, and want to see the remaining copper cable requirements on their own.Clicking on the icon a second time will restore its dependencies.
This feature is not compatible with certain items, namely those that have no dependencies, and those that don't map one-to-one with a recipe.
How do I interpret the pipe numbers on the 'Factory' tab?
Say the solution calls for 7500 units of heavy oil per second. With the default 'minimum pipe length' setting, the calculator will display a value of '[pipe] × 7 ≤ 47.' This means you will need seven parallel lanes of pipes, each with a maximum length of 47 segments.
The 'minimum pipe length' setting controls the minimum number of segments that a pipe will be permitted before the calculator uses multiple lanes of pipes. It defaults to 17, which corresponds to a fluid rate of 1200/s, which is the output rate of an offshore pump.
The number of pipes will be omitted if only one pipe is required.

Downloading and installing Stable versions
Via the official website
To install Stable Factorio, visit the official game download portal, found here, and download the latest stable version, while logged in. The latest stable version can be found on this wiki's main page, as well as in many community places. After downloading, either unpack the downloaded archive, or run the automatic installer, depending on the choice you made. Install Factorio wherever your OS specifies programs to be installed, (or wherever you prefer) and the game should be runnable from there. The copy obtained from the official website is DRM free, and can be run without an internet connection, independent of Wube's servers. However, redistribution laws still apply.
This version will automatically update to the newest stable version that comes out. If you wish to switch from stable to experimental, changing the config of the game is necessary to allow experimental downloads, see this video for details.
Via Steam
To download and install the game via Steam, if you have already purchased the game, simply use Steam's native download and install system.
Via an automated process
Due to Factorio's need for authentication to download, using automated downloaders (such as a download manager, wget or other similar) is only possible if the application offers the ability to request using a username and password. For more info, see Web Authentication API, and Download API.
Downloading and installing experimental versions
