... is exactly the point.

Sure. I agree that that's true for coal drills, and I agree that it fits within the game loop that you're describing. The concrete circumstances you describe does not apply to asteroid reprocessing, however. You're not going to get to electrical drills without going through ...

... buffer chests, it only provides to personal logistics, construction bots and silos.

In shot, put buffer chests near silos, request 4k refined concrete each or whatever you are importing en masse, enjoy the fact that your bots don't have to fly over half of your factory every time space platform ...

... needed a buffer of 50 centrifuges when automating them, 10 should be more than enough. With a cost of 100 advanced circuits (not to mention the concrete, gears, and steel), it's pretty expensive to stock up 50 of these.


Same here. Even with pretty big base, I was still only using a handful of ...

Concrete example: science packs delivered by space platform land in the cargo landing pad and are routed to labs by belt. Occasionally a belt cleanup leaves stray science packs floating in the logistics network. The natural recovery is a requester chest that pulls the strays back onto the belt ...

... A "drain network by quality" tool, quality-aware network UI, and quality-filtered delivery would fix it without changing any core mechanics.

Concrete data point: I have been actively trying to complete a quality bot swap for over 200 hours of play, on networks of 10,000–20,000 bots (count varies ...

... So I'd have more serious questions if it wasn't an intended theme of the mechanic.

If you do it on furnaces/components it's 2% of your stuff and you can use any technique you'd use to speed up mining production. Coming up with concrete is hard, but coming up with an iron ore at uncommon can be done.

Rolling stock cannot overlap on rails, so I cannot stack multiple proxies for multiple inbound trains. The dev team has confirmed ...

Bingo! Thanks. I created a storage chest and they all put their concrete in it.

Any idea why these robots won't move?
They're full of concrete, which is on order to a ship. Other bots collect concrete from the provider chest and deliver it fine, but these 7 just sit there for ever. They've been there for ages so not charging.

Bump. Maybe developers will see it and consider adding it to 2.1

... find, I didn't realize this.
So figured the blueprint is the root cause. When I print it down it is already missing at that corner (even though concrete and ice platforms are not part of the blueprint). However if the car is removed from the blueprint it's working just fine. This is probably ...

... the ghost.

The real question is: how did the ghost end up on top of a "place ice platform" tile ghost and not a "place ice platform, and then concrete" ghost. When I shift-click place a new cryo plant there it correctly puts ice platform + concrete and when both are built, the cryo plant is then ...

... overproduction on Fulgora can be voided. (Scraps are plentiful).


It's very difficult if you try to not void anything, you end up with so much concrete at times, or so few holmium you will need to void a lot of things. You would make the game a whole lot harder for yourself if you try to find a ...

... the next trip?


When I said "mixed cargo" I mean that the train has everything that came out of the recycler on fulgora: Steel, gears, stone, concrete, ice, etc... in a single train.


I'm asking because it's not clear if you posted some schedule screenshots or all schedule screenshots, so your ...
