Good call on only allowing loading stations to disable. It requires a lot more trains be built but it seems to make everything run much smoother.

I don't imagine there is any way to force trains to go wait in the stacker for a station that is disabled? I often have trains waiting in loading stations, even though they are totally full, because the unloading station is disabled. This can cause trains that would load there but have a valid unloa...

A station can be wired to something else (in my case it reads a chest). In my smelting area for example I have two chests loading each train wagon so I have the station enabled only if there is 2000 or more plates in each chest, because that means the wagon can be fully filled if a train arrives. If...

I'm building my first train-based large base right now and I would also like to see something like this as well. It creates a lot of unnecessary traffic on the rails when trains are looping around instead of waiting near the disabled station. I've been trying to figure out some way to prevent this b...

I am downloading it now... Hopefully it is fixed. I tried everything to get trains to stay but nothing works.

Edit: It is fixed, thank god lol.

Is there any way to prevent this? It is really causing a lot of unnecessary traffic because all the trains have to loop back around to another station that isn't disabled. IMO the train should stay there until its wait conditions are completed, even if the station disables in the middle of loading.

Wow that's very helpful. To be fair my base is primarily belt based with trains secondary. After seeing that base I will try to make the transition to mostly trains. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it was Arumba on YouTube, who I discovered through Quill18's channel. So one or both of them.

Hey all, I am currently working on my base that I want to eventually be a megabase. Current power usage is about 1.5 gw ramping up to about 2 during spikes (no beacon usage) . I am already seeing performance drops down to 45 fps or so when I am zoomed out near large belt areas. My computer is no slo...

Will adding more pumps to a water line that is nearly drained by machines help supply water to everything? I tried adding about three more pumps and that didn't seem to change anything. Would adding 10+ pumps maybe solve it? I still don't fully understand how pipes work. I'm also wondering how reall...

Ah gotcha. Since technically Factorio is still in beta all the patches are considered experimental? I'm on steam so opting out seems like the best option until mods are updated. Do you know, can I load a game with mods removed that I began the game with? I ask because some of the mods I use may neve...

Hey all I just started playing Factorio again and I see that 0.17 will be out soon. My question is can I continue my current game after the patch? I have never played through a patch before and I really want to play my current game for a long time to come. I do use a lot of mods so I'm wondering if ...

Hey all, I looked in the Suggestions forum and, surprisingly, didn't find anything about what I am wondering. Are there plans to implement a bridge or tunnel system with railroads so intersections are minimized? Rail is my favorite thing to build in this game but it would be so much cleaner with bri...

Just a question on how infinite ores work: do you actually get more ore by placing more dense miners over infinite ore? I can't tell just from eyeballing it so I'm guessing the answer is no.

I'm curious how everyone sets up their defenses for their factory so show us how you do yours! I find that once my base gets larger but before I have tons of robots everywhere it is a pain when turrets are constantly being damaged and destroyed, especially losing whole stacks of ammo.

Well I'm blind! Thanks!

Is there any way to see your total potential power output? Or even a percentage of your total power that you are using? I just like to know my power production is strained before I start having a major blackout in my factory.

Ok riding trains is a great idea. One thing I don't like as my factory gets bigger is how long it takes to get everywhere..

Aha, I hadn't figured that track is much cheaper especially then the faster tracks. Thanks!

Hey all, I'm still relatively new to the game but I guess I don't see the purpose of trains when you can just build belts to connect resources. Usually when you are connecting a distant resource you have nearly infinite space anyway so you could theoretically build like 10 belts if you needed to get...
