how do biters work exactly?


When unprovoked, they occasionally expand by sending out a scouting party that'll build a new nest somewhere.
When you're getting close (~ shooting range), they'll defend ...

Are there objective formatting conventions I should be aware of out of the gate that aren't just "your" personal preference

Even this is a personal recommendation, but if there's one thing: be consistent. Coding style is a topic of endless debate that always boils down to taste. Do whatever ...

Is this right as it is? The white line joining the AND and the first OR makes it look like "(Green signal > 0 AND purple =0) OR orange = 0". Am I just reading it incorrectly?

You're reading it correctly, train/station schedules and decider combinators only support disjunctive normal form (OR on ...

The output signal of the selectors quality transfer option supports Each.

Not possible. The signals you get from the logistics network are always the items currently available to that logistics network. There's no method for changing them, other than putting items into or out of chests.

In your example I'd just set the inserter to iron plate < 1000.

In the linked thread, the constant combinator has multiple specifications for the same signal, where I agree that following regular circuit behaviour / wrap-around makes sense.
Since you don't mention using multiple input fields, that reasoning doesn't apply here.

What I'd prefer: Each input field ...

TL;DR
Merge related train/station interrupt/wait conditions like "X" and "Not X" into a single condition.

What?

The "X" / "not X" conditions ("(Not) At specified station", "Passenger (not) present", "Request (not) satisfied" and "Station is (not) full") should just show at "X" in the ...

TL;DR
Crafters derived from the furnace prototype should show a recipe bar, like assembling machines

What?
Factorio 2 added a bar showing the current recipe to assembling machines. Show the same bar in crafters derived from the furnace prototype (including recyclers), obviously without the "set ...

I see this was moved to "Not a bug", but this is still a bug, despite Editor Mode being at play.

You still had mods enabled. If they aren't at fault you should be able to reproduce this in vanilla.
So I tried just that.

vanilla space age, /editor, instant blueprint building enabled.

While I'd like to have the outputs available for blueprints and circuit network, there's one actual issue: How should random outputs be handled, like e.g. uranium processing? Should this result in the minimum or maximum possible? Or the average, but how should non-integral amounts be represented ...

thank you for joining discussion, i'm not suree if i cannot gather all things into one, or it's just not possible to achieve

The circuit network is Turing complete; as long as it can be calculated/programmed somehow, the circuit network can do so as well.

That theoretical view is quite ...

According to 129371, this will be fixed in 2.1. You can put the generator feeding back into the reactor elsewhere until then.

The issue is that you've assigned all request counts the same value; give them all distinct values and the replacement will work as expected.
Fixed blueprint:

Can't see it from the pictures you posted, but I'm going to assume that the top and bottom paths have train stops. In that case, the situation will resolve itself after about 5 minutes when left alone.

Trains try very hard to avoid passing train stops that aren't their current destination (a ...

You set it to start inserting when there are 300 coal in the chest and stop when there are 101 coal. Flip the values of the two conditions or rearrange them so it starts at 101 and stops at 300.

It starts at 100 and stops at 102. Memory doesn't hold. fact2.jpg


If you want to start it ...

Each[red] < Each[green] and Each[green] != 0, output Each 1

Have fun deconstructing combinators

"anything" is undefined behavior right now, deducing from this: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=122664


Using Anything as output isn't undefined, it's function is quite useful. But it's ingame tooltip could be improved.
When used as output and the conditions do not use Each, it ...

see 127998 and 120100

A display that properly handles negatives, thanks. The one I've previously grabbed from that other thread was lacking there.

Two small improvements:
I was able to cut a few combinators from Dashboard B: Those decider generated ±100 and ±10 constants can be folded into the combinator adding them to ...

This once per install unlock has a command to fully unlock it immediately: /unlock-shortcut-bar
Similarly, for the tips and trick section there's /unlock-tips .

That said, I don't see why one would use the icon instead of the hotkey. (My shortcut bar only has two icons to show the state of my robo ...
