Like DarkShadow44, I also think tutorials and understanding are more useful. Amongst other resources, there are many discussions about railway setup in these forums: if you have questions/problems that you can't find the answers/solutions to, you are likely to get a useful response by posting.

The CPU overhead of the ingame steam overlay, while it isn't showing? I would say zero. Nothing.

Additionally, modern CPUs have more CPU cores Factorio is able to use, so if the overlay wakes up to check if it has nothing to do, this would take place on some core that hasn't anything to do anyway ...

There is an option "Enable blueprint library Cloud Sync" in Settings -> Other which is disabled by default.

However, there are circumstances where your remote blueprint library will be silently overwritten with an empty one, contrary to any reasonable expectation. I have seen numerous reports of ...

Only if they get all the money from the sale, which they surely won't, and the cost to the purchaser is the same, which it doesn't seem to be for me.

A slightly different way of looking at things but I think essentially the same as Kyralessa wrote:

Using unidirectional track, the basic approach I use for signalling a junction starts by placing a chain signal at every entrance and a rail signal at every exit. Entrances are the points before the ...

FWIW I see the same behaviour. Other games behave differently with the same keys so I don't think it's a hardware limitation. The simplest explanation I can think of is input handling along the lines of "if up pressed then move up, else if down pressed then move down".

Let the drones build, starting from the closest objects to the hero. Ending with the most distant ones.

The player, by moving around the area, could speed up the construction of the highest priority objects.
This would reduce the construction time and reduce the load on the video card.

The root problem is that state is lost when the window closes, leading to (to quote myself) tiresome repeated navigation.

We've never actually had anyone connect that didn't already have the mods installed but presumably the sync function will take care of all that.

While it's a valid request for Factorio, it's not always been the case that locomotives in the real world are bidirectional. If you ask chatgpt for details about that, you learn that steam locomotives are unidirectional with a few exceptions for special demand such as shunting locomotives or for ...

Wow is it really possible with just 2 combinators? By using 2 constants for limit specifications? Helper? What does this mean? I am a bit lost.


FWIW the (relatively) simple setup I came up with (though it wouldn't surprise me if it was a "reinvention") uses three arithmetic combinators (AC) and ...

Don't get me wrong, its possible to infer by listening to rail signals and correlating with the train ID channel. But all such methods are guaranteed to have transient false positives each time a train leaves / arrives, and cannot be made tick perfect.


These are unequivocal statements that I ...

I could be wrong but I doubt a mod can add a delay before an entity tooltip is removed.

You can however disable "Entity tooltips on the side" in Interface settings, which may make it easier for you to track something that is moving. Or, if you are unconcerned about achievements, you can switch to ...

Which side of the inputs is fed coal and which is fed iron ore does not matter. What matters is that you will need 3 kinds of inserters. Long inserters, regular inserters (or fast), and filter inserters.


You missed the reason behind needing filter inserters, which is to ensure the furnaces that ...

Overheats? Meltdowns? At least some sort of control or moderation via circuits which will allow to increase output if done correctly?

Yes.

Hi, I saw that the Space Age will be added by a DLC, that is great, cause that seems I could don't play it, cause I don't like the space mod, but that will also says that the train support won't be in the the game in base?
