# Factorio
|

|
|
|
## Where is the settings page?
|
|
|
|
|
The player settings page for this game is located <a href="../player-settings">here</a>. It contains all the options
|
|
|
|
|
you need to configure and export a config file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What does randomization do to this game?
|
|
|
|
|
In Factorio, the research tree is shuffled, causing certain technologies to be obtained in a non-standard order.
|
|
|
|
|
Recipe costs, technology requirements, and science pack requirements may also be shuffled at the player's discretion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What Factorio items can appear in other players' worlds?
|
|
|
|
|
Factorio's technologies are removed from its tech tree and placed into other players' worlds. When those technologies
|
|
|
|
|
are found, they are sent back to Factorio along with, optionally, free samples of those technologies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What is a free sample?
|
|
|
|
|
A free sample is a single or stack of items in Factorio, granted by a technology received from another world. For
|
|
|
|
|
example, receiving the technology
|
|
|
|
|
`Portable Solar Panel` may also grant the player a stack of portable solar panels,
|
|
|
|
|
and place them directly into the player's inventory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What does another world's item look like in Factorio?
|
|
|
|
|
In Factorio, items which need to be sent to other worlds appear in the tech tree as new research items. They are
|
|
|
|
|
represented by the Archipelago icon, and must be researched as if it were a normal technology. Upon successful
|
|
|
|
|
completion of research, the item will be sent to its home world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## When the engineer receives an item, what happens?
|
|
|
|
|
When the player receives a technology, it is instantly learned and able to be crafted. A message will appear in the
|
|
|
|
|
chat log to notify the player, and if free samples are enabled the player may also receive some items directly to
|
|
|
|
|
their inventory.
