Nice! I made a 10kspm base using modular raw-to-science units like that, but went for 500spm and used many-to-many ore trains rather than independent local units like this. Did you consider doing direct-to-train mining to avoid the belts and inserters around ore fields? I think it makes it even more...

(the weird thing is, I played factorio for >5 years, and never had any stability issues, always playing experimental and also using mods. I didn't make major hardware or software changes in the last year(s), and now within a week I get crashes... Of course it's possible I have a new hardware issue t...

It's me again. Same base, same computer. Didn't have any crashes since the last post (a week ago?), playing pretty intensively. Factorio crashed again just now while AFK. Log is attached, let me know if you need anything from me.

Update: I rebooted my computer, and the problem seems to have gone away...

Edit: Had the game on most of the evening, no crash. So apparently it was indeed my computer being weird. Sorry!

You make me feel special :) Here's a link to the save file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b2cay1a8o91qik5/_autosave1_backup.zip?dl=0 [e: just copied the autosave to _autosave1_backup.zip and replaced the link, I was afraid that dropbox might automatically track a new version of the file] I'll try to loa...

Probably not really relevant anymore, but the game just crashed again while I was AFK (so certainly not walking around with spidertron). Log attached.

(edit: and another crash now. So it seems something is actually wrong)

Another crash happened about 15 minutes later, log attached.

I've been playing over 5 years now, always with experimental updates, and AFAIK this is the first time the game crashed on me. I've attached the log, I'm not really sure what caused it. I was restocking while in spidertron, had just picked up some engines and walked to the rails to place a new train...

I like everything except the double row of tabs in the crafting menu. There are 6 options (in vanilla; 4 craft categories, character, and logistics), I don't think 6 options need a two-level menu structure. Most annoyingly/confusingly, one of the craft categories is called logistics. Thus, when you ...

I would like to propose some new circuit signals to help monitor and control esp. fluid and heat flow: - Pumping speed signal: Pumps have a new (ish?) feature where you see actual "pumping speed" in user interface (i.e. pumping speed: 1259/12000). It would be nice if this could be measured...

So it seems like even with the one place buffer in front of loading stations you are subject to the Thundering Herd problem (lots of trains all head for one enabled station; one or two get there disabling it; rest of Herd charges off to next enabled station, probably on other side of map; rinse, re...

[... trains ...] With vanilla there are some things that are difficult to do with trains without very elaborate circuit network structures, timers, and triggers. However, I'm pretty happy with my current setup with one-to-many and many-to-many connections. 1. Fuel There is one place that produces fu...

Thanks for this mod! I would wish some way to generate and consume full belts of resources, maybe including loaders would do the trick? Anyway, I have a bug report: Game crash when returning from blueprint lab. Seems reproducible - if I reload the autosave and exit the lab it triggers the error. sta...

Nice, thanks! I was doing the same (after discovering that chunk alignment is actually quite important, mostly for ensuring radar coverage for automatic building) One point of feedback: You can place normal (i.e. non-chain) signals directly after the last crossing in each intersection, since after t...

Yeah that video is a mess.

You can use ~infinite bots from stationary roboports, so why not make a 64 wide (or whatever that was) blueprint with roboports integrated so you can fire and forget?

39991.665 ms - DaveMcW trains only I don't have access to factorio for the coming weeks, so I can't check the save - but I did have a question. How do you control the trains? Regular signals, or circuit timing? And did you consider having a dedicated rail for each production line so you don't need ...

which is why I always use crude: easiest on logistics, can often find a local source, no danger of running out if other processes back up

I generally have a armor dedicated purely to bots: two fusion reactors, one or maybe two exos, a bunch of batteries and multiple personal roboports. I have no trouble with largish build projects, and usually run out of inventory before running out of bot power...

What I do* is combine a number of blueprints that automate most of the chore of outpost construction while staying fully vanilla: 1. Use personal conbots to create a small starter outpost (station, radar, roboport, supply train unloading) 2. Setup train routes to/from the outpost, unless all outpost...

Pretty sure it's too late for my opinion on the oil changes to have any weight, but here goes: 1. I agree with the devs that (1) blue science has always been a huge difficulty bump (the "oil wall"), and (2) that it's weird that players are supposed to learn managing multiple outputs before...
