Thanks, I do know how to build stuff use FNEI at lot, but ... I haven't checked out the TODO list, thanks for that tip. I look at this as another level of automation. After all, we have blueprints and you could pose the same criticism of them -- "you don't want to learn how to assemble your fac...

One feature I've always looked for and never found is a "research blueprint" -- in other words, I'm moving up a tech level, especially in the Angel+Bob mod packs where such things tend to progress in levels like iron -> steel -> clay -> bronze -> bots -> brass etc. I have blue prints for a...

Hi all, I've played the "angel+bob" mod packs several times, and I really love them. It's been challenging coming up with a solid strategy for early/mid/late game, and I've developed a nice collection of blueprints that I use. At this point, I have a few observations about the game play, a...

Ah wait! I see the problem. The logi connection popup also says "No network in range".
I'm still at nerfed logistics phase, and my logi expanders have a gap.
Thanks!
john

Right! I meant, "Set to enable when count < 2"
I checked and there is definitely no circuit network connection, only logi network.
Can you help me attach the game save? I think that will make things clear, or prove me a fool
Thanks,
john

In the attached game save, the inserter I am standing by is set to disable when Induction Furnace II count is <2. Count in the logistic network is currently 1, but the inserter is disabled anyway. Doesn't actually matter what the control setting is, it could be 200 but still will be disabled. I've s...

Oh wow, the "debug pole" trick worked!
The minimap doesn't work, just because it is too full.
Thanks
john

It would be nice to be able to see the input/output values used by a combinator. But I can't figure out how. The posts I've read all reference older options or plugins.
Thanks

Fast-forward to 2022, where is this now?

Thanks for the reply!

Thank you for the reply, but that's not quite what I am asking. What I want to do is, given an item in my inventory, configure it for auto-trash (logistics with 0/0 count). Currently to do this is takes several steps: -- Select item from inventory -- Drop item in logistics -- Adjust counts to 0/0 --...

Playing Angel+Non mods (not that I think it matters) I make heavy use of auto-trash, pinning things I never want to "zero/zero". This keeps them from clogging up inventory during cut/delete operations. But I find this to be tedious. Is there single hotkey (or a mod for one) that does "...

I have found that putting three charging pads in a cluster doesn't help, the bots always pick the same one. This discussion https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=92409&hilit=charging+cluster&start=20 suggests that bots *should* disperse amongst the available charge pads but I d...

Playing angel+bob mods and at the crawler bot stage. I find that I spend a lot of time waiting for construction bots to charge at a few roboboxes or charging points. They seem to gang up on a select few and there will be many dozens waiting to charge. How best to avoid this? Will simply placing more...

Yes you are quite right! This is not a base bug, I believe that it is purely an Angel+Bob mods (clarifier) recipe issue. LMK if there is a better forum topic for posting this issue. I've attached a save, the player is by the clarifier I expected to flush the polluted fish water.
Thanks!
john

PLaying Angel+Bob mod packs, I am trying to breed a lot of fish for meat, but I find that I have an excess of polluted artificial fish water. Unfortunately the clarifier doesn't do anything with polluted artificial fish water. I can turn it into crystal splinters of course.

Greetings! I am playing angel+bob mods v1.1, and I notice some recipes appear in FNEI but which are actually not available. For example, FNEI claims that sulfur+iron+purifed-water -> sulfuric acid in chemical plant 2 or adv chem plant 1, but I can't actually select those recipes. I do not see any re...

Derp. Thanks!

Greetings! I am playing 1.1 with angel+bob mods. But I'm trying to figure out what research enables personal logistic requests. When I enter a request, it says "logistic requests disabled". I have researched roboports and logistic system, what am I missing?
Thanks
john

UPDATE: I realized that I can divert 1/16 of alien samples to research! Once I have enough to sustain the farming feedback loop.
