rail_pictures()

Hello. I want to add a new rail type via a mod. I thought I could just copy the code and graphics of the vanilla rail and edit them to my liking, but I don't really understand how I can replace the sprites of the new straight rail and curved rail entities I'm adding. I was expecting the graphics def...

[0.16] Dirigible (basically airships...)

Based on the Aircraft mod, but hopefully more realistic. The premise of the mod is that you can now use a small airship to move aroun...

A very low U-235 production

I am fully aware that there is a 0.7% chance of getting a U-235 out of the centrifuge. I have followed the wiki guide about the new nuclear power, and so built a setup with a single reactor and a single centrifuge. This, however, did not cut it for me. I've let the setup do its thing and went away t...

Re: Cargo aircraft as a new logistic option

Runways, taxiways... Those are too complex for the task. Pre-laying "invisible tracks" is not something that would simplify the task. Simple air transport which would replace trains will only have negative impact on the game (just read bots vs belts threads) but this one will impact train...

Cargo aircraft as a new logistic option

I was thinking about this for a while now, and I want to know how other people would feel about this; Cargo aircraft as a ultra-long range, fast, (very) end-game logistic option. What I propose is a whole new concept of transportation of items in the game. The current aircraft mods already allow mos...

A question about fish and inserters

So, according to the internet, inserters can pick up fish? I tried to test it by locating one perfect peninsula-shaped formation, I placed long handed inserters all around it's coast (like 20 in all directions) and I let it sit there for couple hours. Then, I remembered it and returned, and there we...

How much [J] do you need for a solar panel?

A simple question; how much energy (in joules) do you need to produce 1 solar panel? Including mining and refining resources, and assembling materials (and ignoring inserters). I want to make an automated solar panel factory and I wonder if it even is power efficient

Realistic electricity

Just a small idea how to make electricity in Factorio more realistic, yet simplified; All power plants produce and all machines consume DC voltage, but if you want to use large electric poles, it would require transformer to change DC to AC and at the end of power line another transformer would be r...

Random drop

Is there a way to make some entity (for example tree) drop random items from predefined selection? Like, idk, random amount of wood, leaves etc.
I mean, if you destroy that tree, there is like 50% chance that it will drop some special item.

OK, now I see that :D Anyway, how do I split 1 input to 1 output without this happening

EDIT: now I noticed the same thing happening with 1 lane only splitter, when there are 2 same items next to each other, splitter send them to same output thus not splitting them

Btw.: tnx for quic answer

Splitter not working properly

Ok, so I have 1 input belt and 1 output belt. I used splitter to balance input lanes. I thought that splitter works like this; 1 item left, 1 item right, 1 item left etc. But what happened; 2 items left, 2 items right, yea, the splitter splits couples, not a single items.

Re: [MOD 0.12.11+] Wind Turbine

Ehm, I have like 300 of theese guys powering my factory, but they all rotate in EXACTLY same way, so, is it possible to make each one rotate differently? I know, not a bug or anything, but still :D

Btw.: What about some larger version of it, that would require research and stuff?

How to add chest?

OK, so I was looking for some tutorials on how to make mods, add entities etc etc, but, well, either I am idiot or theese tutorials are too complicated. They tell me how to make cars, entities, something that change game mechanics, but I want to do only one thing; add CHEST. Yea, nothing complicated...
