This is brilliant and exactly what i was looking for. Thank you.

However, just one question. What does output need/s actually mean. How many items per second i will produce with the suggested setup?

I the current setup, the spreadsheet tells me i need 2426 Iron Ore per second to maintain.. This ...

Hi,

I just updated to Version 0.14.6, and after the update, the research screen seems frozen.

I can't select any research, scroll through the list of researches or search for them. Basically the whole screen seems frozen, i can't click on any buttons. Closing via keyboard works normal.

This ...

I always use single headed trains, but i've managed to avoid most of the deadlocking issues. In my opinion, these are the 2 most important design aspects for loop-based systems:

1. Always split your stations off the main-line. First, spit off a 2-track line from the main line. Then, build your ...

That's what i'm using for the continous need of ressources.

I just set myself more and more goals, starting with one rocket per hour, then 5 per hour, etc..., always expanding my factory. This seems to work somewhat well for me, but ...

From what i understand, the pathfinder for trains looks up all possible paths for a train to get to a station, and then assign each path a score. This score depends on lenght, red signals, and possibly other factors. Then, the train chooses the path with the best score.

For your situation, the ...

It can be usefull if some of your trains operate away from any fuel source.

I have my base split up into different bases, some for mining, some for smelting, etc... So some of these trains run only from the mines to my smelting outpost. In case of the Iron smelting, i don't have any fuel nearby ...

I can see what you are going for, but i don't think that this solution is a huge improvement.

First, you still need to cross tracks, you just do it at another place.

In your picture with the station, imagine the following situation:

A train arriving from the south wants to go left towards the ...

can we get some links? what is this RSO mod and where do I find it? what about some of the other mods you mentioned? I went into the mods section but there are a lot of sub sections and I don't know which ones these mods you listed would be under

Did you drive over any conveyor belt? If so, that's why the tank shifted.

RSO Version 1.4.4 and above should be working with the newest Factorio versions.
I unzipped the RSO Folder, placed the unzipped one in the AppData/Roaming/Factorio/ mods folder, it worked without changing any names. I can't say anything about the landfill mod, never used it.

Factorio Version 12.11 ...

Hello.

My thoughts to your questions.

1.) I always use the RSO mod. It changes the way ressource patches spawn. In a nutshell, ressource are fewer and the distances beetween the ressources are quite a bit longer. With this, the use of trains is neccessary. But the patches are still big enough to ...

I use a similar system of controlling oil reserves and cracking, but less complicated. I have storage tanks hooked up to pumps as well, but only use one input condition.

If Lubricant is over 1k, i turn on the pump to my heavy to light oil cracking plant.
If Petroleum gas is under 1k, i turn on my ...

I'm sorry if this has been answered but when will 0.12 be released as stable?

I am weary of starting a 20-30h game on the experimental build but maybe I shouldn't?

Can anyone tell me if the current 0.12 build stable enough for longterm play?

Thanks

I'm currently on a 30 hrs save, started with ...

Hello,

i don't know if this was suggested before, but i could not find it in the forums.

I use an engineering train for my outpost construction. It has everything i could possibly need for outpost, like defenses, belts, miners, smelters, assembly machines, everything. But this led me to the ...

i have seen faster trains overtaking slower trains as well, but as far as i know, there is no way of controlling this behaviour. The only thing i could manage to do is to encourage it. I do this with a bigger signal spacing and crossovers at every signal.

If a fast train is getting close to a slow ...

Are you by any chance playing with Factorio version 0.12.13?

I started a new game with 0.12.12, and all the ressources were spread out nicely. But after i upgraded to 0.12.13, new discovered ressources looked a lot like the ones generated by the basegame. So i assume that the mod breaking LUE ...

Yeah, i'm doomed.

But thanks for your confirmation.

You could either manually harvest all the robots, or place a logistic storage chest to give the robots a place to unload the items.

It sounds like you placed active provider chests in your network. This could be the reason your robots started to behave this way. Your logistic network is always ...

Same problems with not properly connecting pumps. It does not apply to all my loading stations, but for some, and if see this correctly, only after updating factorio to 0.12.13.

I tried to figure out what was causing this, and may have found the reason. I observed this behaviour happening in ...
