You can solves the problem by getting rid of passive providers: Storage chests can be filtered/restricted to one item, so if your passive providers only have one item you could replace them with filtered storage chests.

@Yenz: what does "nb:" stand for?

nota bene: note well; note

There are basically two options how to replace an existing file with a new version: a) truncate the old file and write the new content or b) write the new content into a new file and then move it on top of the old one. a) preserves symlinks, but risks corruption in case of a crash. b) can recover fr...

The comments for the options say "when launching MP server from the menu". Are you actually doing that? If you are starting the server via command line instead, check the output from --help, it should mention similar options.

box64 seems to be the easiest way for developers to support Factorio on ARM. Are you sure? Since you also wrote Forgot to add, but I get a *lot* of desyncs and CatchUp errors with box64 on the server. It might be useful to provide some desync reports here so someone (not me) can analyze them to see...

Your crossing looks promising, but when I tried to use it the game responded: “Failed to import string, unknown version ‘H…’”and refuses to create a blueprint. As starter I use factorio without mods, walk before I run 😉. Version 1.1.59 (build 59719. win64). What gives? You can try if the import wor...

My other thought then is that maybe the ore patch was containing mixed ore, or some pieces of stone or coal that if present on the belt would prevent further contamination at the cost of sudden stop. the mod 7 like using 56 both impacted similarly. Balancing each lane or individual items is impossi...

About the getting stuck i think it can happen when items are positionned on 2 belts when a belt is disabled. The item will count on 1 belt, but part of it will be on another one, which will prevent this previous belt from having 8 items when things backs up. I can't remember the exact figures but i...

The mode-change is hidden for the player. It’s just a change in the internal representation. Of course it's hidden from the player. But it's not hidden from the programer who has to implement the mode change. And an implementation with less special cases tends to be easier to read, reducing cogniti...

Since it is statically allocated and contains (I guess) 4 bytes per stack, it normally fits nicely in a single cache block and the iteration is extremely fast. Small correction: Rseding explicitly said "An inventory is a vector of ItemStack (24 bytes each).". In the ItemStack structure de...

Well, you could probably define meta-chunks, eg, 16x16 chunks or something. Or maybe one thread per surface at a minimum, though maybe it's already like that I guess. Certainly the per surface approach opens up a lot of potential for the dlc if it leverages that. Maybe they could even fix the per s...

what about something like

Shot consumption: 9.6 MW
Extended consumption: 1.22 MW

+1
maybe "Burst" consumption

I like ssilk's car example. And to make it general for all entities, not just lasers:
Operating consumption: 1.22 MW
Recharging consumption: 9.6 MW

It seems both numbers have their use. Maximum Consumption during normal operation, Maximum Recharge when an entity gets connected to power.

So... maybe display both? Or at least when they significantly differ?

Same suggestion as the necro: /viewtopic.php?f=6&t=101730 The original suggestions from 2017 are already implemented. TBH, I was pondering if I should merge both threads or not, the older thread is really old, and a significant part of it has already been implemented. At the point of my first r...

Imho, as already explained above, the current behavior when closing a signal is fine. Thus I'd argue for intended behavior / not a bug. The feature request of having the train repath when one of it's reserved signals gets closed and attempting to avoid that signal seems reasonable. It would mimic th...

Why then don't make shift+ctr+lmb to move only filtered or unfilteret items ? How about adding an extra click rather than an extra modifier? Currently Ctrl-lmb moves the clicked stack or the whole inventory when clicking an empty slot. So double ctrl-lmb clears the whole inventory. This could be ch...

1) faster inserters 1a) new inserters 1b) more techs to research to increase their stats 1c) reintroduction of loaders as a late-game item? 1d) "double" inserters taking items from both sides of the belt w/o stupid dancing between the lanes 2) faster belts 2a) new belts 2b) introduction o...

... A schedule entry will be waited for if, and only if, ALL enabled stops with that name have hit or exceeded their limit or are unreachable. If the train is already moving and the limit if the targeted stop gets reduced, it will try to path to another stop with the same name, but continue moving ...

Looks like your understanding is correct, except for the generalization to multiple destinations with the same name (or I simply misunderstood what you wrote). A schedule entry will be skipped if, and only if, ALL stops with that name are disabled. If the train is already moving, it will stop dead a...
