It helps to have a small belt buffer (just one or two pieces) that sideloads into the output belt. This allows it to fill the gaps properly, whereas the miner won't always have an item ready when there's a gap, and there won't be a gap in time before the miner's output fills up.

You only need to do ...

It's a side-effect of the revamped fluid 2.0 system which no longer simulates flow. You'll have to live without visible flow direction:

There is no longer a realistic fluid "flow" through pipes

Question: Is it possible to copy / paste a space platform without overwriting the existing schedule of a ship (eq. upgrading the ship)?


To not overwrite the existing platform schedule, you have to turn it into a blueprint (press B ), and then remove the platform hub from the blueprint by right ...

Generally I build just enough centrifuges and drills to have about twice as much U-235 as I need to power my base. That also helps at the start when you might otherwise get too long stretches with no U-235 coming out. But it slowly builds a stockpile that can then be used for Kovarex processing ...

How viable would be it be to make and recycle nuclear reactors? The ingredients are also all things that I have a vast surplus of. Even if the ratios don't work out completely, it should at least take care of a large amount of concrete.

You don't have a fly condition, so it's never true. Therefore the platform is not allowed to continue flying, and returns right away.

It's set up this way because normally you don't really want to go to the shattered planet, but go back when you've collected enough promethium.

However for perpendicular belts, it's now a vanilla feature in 2.1, check FFF #442. (And this being added probably broke the hack used by mods for lane switching.)

Probably a UI reason, don't provide settings that don't do anything.

A common workaround is to place a ghost outside of bot range and connect and configure it, then copy its configuration over to the real one. Or just connect it temporarily to a power pole.

You can pin achievements to your screen and their ribbon turns red when you violate the condition, so at least you notice right away.

You could also turn off the manual crafting mouse bindings in your settings after getting your first assembler.

Once you have a few tiers of mining productivity research, the productivity modules pretty much lose their value. I don't think speed beacons make much sense either since you'll just drain the patch faster. You'll need to open the same number of ore patches in the end, with speed beacons one after ...

In general it seems you need to learn how one-way and two-way signals work.

When you place a signal on only one side of the track, a train can't pass this signal in the other direction at all. The whole track become a one-way track if there is any one-sided signal.

To make a track two-way, all ...

The track at the bottom is signaled for one-way traffic, but in the wrong direction for your train. So it can't go there (or anywhere since that's the only path).

In fact you got lucky and made 51.4% quality items. And you got even luckier and made even more epic items than expected on average (which is always 10% of the previous tier). It's not the plant quality ratio from tier to tier!

The expected values are:
862 common items
849 quality items (49.6 ...

Yeah I missed that... maybe you'll need to post your blueprint to let us see the details.

Mouse over to the top right of the dialog with the red/green wires, and you'll probably see that it gets 1 from the red wire and 1 from the green wire, and 1+1 = 2.

If you want a formula to calculate this, it will be inordinately complicated.

There are too many factors that all affect inserter throughput in different ways, and they interact in non-linear ways with each other: Is the target a chest or belt or splitter? What speed is the belt/splitter? Is the ...

Nothing in particular, just lingering dull pain regarding station name changes misbehaving in the past. Probably routing issues and such.

"Each" is an output option when there is an input with "each". Otherwise "each" could not match any signal to output.

The way I solve this situation, is with a constant combinator box that sets the negative value of your desired condition, in your case Substation=-10, Wall=-100, Repair Pack=-100 ...

If I understand what you're describing correctly, this is a general behaviour independent of interrupts: whenever you rename a station whose name is unique, then all references to it in all train schedules (including interrupts) will change accordingly. Because it's the only station with that name ...
