If that's the case then i can definitely see that being a thing. Are they all stocked with repair packs too? I think I found something that will help modulate the number of repair packs in a given roboport, but i have to do more testing on it first. I wanted to get this lil' ditty out before i ...

Do you often have the problem of a roboport becoming filled to the brim with bots? lol

Hey guys.

So, after a brief search that yielded little, I decided to post this on here.

What it is, is a simple yet effective way to get drones to make drones without drone populations exploding out of control. The circuitry is really simple, but it’s also really effective at what it does. As ...

Kinda not inline with the theme of Factorio. Having bots suddenly turn against you would be kinda infuriating when you are just trying to expand your factory.

There are other games where random events suddenly putting you in a tricky situation are more the norm.


I wasn't talking about random ...

If that's the case then I'd love to see killer undead robots as a faction. Few games handle rampancy well, and I don't think Factorio can handle the subject with the care it needs.

Semi-random thought. What would a robot do if it suddenly discovered that it was malfunctioning?

So perhaps some kinda base that has gone rampant then? Maybe that's why the buggies have a seemingly instinctual fear of your base.

Looks like you just might have to accept that you live in a desert

If you want to save a little bit on resources you can use stone bricks instead of concrete if you're just going to pick it up anyways.

Actually you don’t need the combinator for this to work. In that example the combinator is changing the “A” signal to “GREEN”. Simply eliminate the combinator and set the switch to operate when “A” < n (where n is your threshold).


Hmm, i guess so huh. I use the green signal for other things so ...

Why is it always killer undead robots of some kind? >.<

Your copper wires attaching to the power switch is going to be part of what makes this whole thing work. Could be part of what's giving you so much trouble.


hmmmm, so something like this? (not sure if you can see it, but there is copper cable connecting from main to switcher)

ahhh bruhh, yeah you can connect the red wire. wtf, last night it wont let me connect it says cable wont reach

:lol: Well at least it's working now.

I dont understand what you mean. connecting red wire to boiler or something?


Don't worry about it, it's not important.



power cables? I ...

Boilers are still unwireable in vanilla 1.0. But jeez, what version are you using!? That boiler design is ancient!

32-bit, so 14.23 or something.

I like how the Nod belts go faster than the GDI belts.

If you wanted to use the Offshore Pump method, then it's like this...


Just make sure the Accumulator you're using for the signal isn't on the boiler's power grid.

I know other people have answered but i'll explain mine a little further in case you were still interested in doing it like this.




so, is this correct like this?

So, I almost feel bad that I laughed a little when i saw this picture.
You CAN connect the large power poles ...

Factorio needs Mammoth tanks

its hard to convey what I really means,

I'm not sure I fully understand what you're trying to say either :lol:

but basically can I connect the wire from the electric pole that covered the whole area with accumulator to whatever circuit thingy instead of connect accumulator 1 by 1 to circuit ...

Why is this even a thing?
