Re: Is there any word on skipping stations


You can't (sans circuits) do (At A OR at B OR at C) AND (D not full). The game only allows one or inside of parenthesis. I'm sure circuit magic could do it.

I'm aware disjunctive normal form is required. The conditions I suggested can be transformed into it, no circuits required. Likewise, any ...

Re: Is there any word on skipping stations


I know 2.1

2.0. 2.1 doesn't exist yet (except, maybe, for those with source access).

Interrupts do not do this.
It's some effort to set up, but doable. Have A as the only stop in the schedule, then add interrupts "train at A and B not full -> go to B", "train at A or B and C not full -> go to ...

Re: Red vs Yellow Ammo in edge case Deathworld scenarios.


if you update that spreadsheet to show the numbers including the 10% physical resistance the biters have, I would love to have it!

The result of the IF inside the damage after resistance cells should be multiplied with (1 - percentage resistance). Fixing it for one set and copying it over to the ...

Re: Red vs Yellow Ammo in edge case Deathworld scenarios.

Yellow ammo seems to be more cost efficient for the majority of the cases. There are few cases where red ammo is vastly superior, namely when red ammo exceeds the flat reduction but yellow does not. For example, against big biters at physical projectile damage 2 red ammo is a 880% improvement over ...

Re: Signal Filtering

The combinators pictured in post 2 and 3 are whitelists: Output the values from the green wire if the signal is also present on the red wire. If you need a blacklist, that's also doable in a single decider combinator.
Each[red] == 0 and Each[green] != 0, output Each[green] input count

Re: Is there a mod that allows sharing blueprints directly between players in multiplayer?

No mods needed, use the "game" section of the blueprint library. You can open it with one of the buttons next to the minimap or by pressing B.

Re: Parameterised Blueprints - count of ingredient 1 of item 1

Substitute N with the parameter you want, i.e. p0_i1, p0_i2, p0_i3 for your blueprint. (Single letters like n, m, o, ... or x, y, z are often used as placeholders in mathematics or tech adjacent fields.)

That's meters, see the x-axis, which corresponds to the total length of the route.

Re: how to setup space platform station conditions combinations


You can just select "all requests satisfied".

That wouldn't help with the (cryogenic plant fulfilled || concrete == 0) part.


You could put the common parts into the schedule and implement the remainder (or anything that becomes unwieldy in disjunctive normal form) in combinators, e.g ...

Re: Non-blocking saves?

No, that article talks about copy on write for copying files, i.e. instead of actually copying the file, both old and new are set up to share the same data on disk. What factorio needs is a way of duplicating its process without having to also duplicate all the memory associated to it.

Re: [2.0.55] Heavy oil output per second estimation of coal liquefaction is incorrect when using productivity

The productivity bonus only applies to 65 heavy oil (90 output - 25 input). When you take this catalyst into account, the numbers will match:
90 Heavy Oil/Craft / 5 second/Craft * 0.55 craft speed * (1 + 0.3 prod bonus * (90-25)/90 output without catalyst) = 12.045 Heavy Oil/second
