I've written a tool to decode the blueprint-storage.dat format into JSON and from there into the standard import/export string. If you are using Linux you can give it a try: https://github.com/asheiduk/factorio-blueprint-decoder Unfortunately, this tool didn't work for me. Any existing alternatives...

A way to reduce the overfilling of the centrifuges without circuit logic was discussed here:

viewtopic.php?p=554977#p554977

It's a way to get Kovarex off the ground but has reduced performance in the long run.

The followup-posts explain the timing.

I don't understand that: Mac@@x64 is actually supported. That should include most of the notarization, build scripts, ... So the jump to Mac@arm doesn't seem so far when ARM is already supported too.

Do you have any reading tips what "UPS-optimized transport belts" means? Do you try to have the least amount of "overground" belts? If so, could this not be even more optimized by introducing further underground belts on the top part, e.g., for the green circuit or copper belts?...

Incoming SEPA transfers usually cost money for non-physical entities such as businesses, at least in Germany. But I don't believe that the fee is 5€ per transfer -- even for business. SEPA was introduced to reduce the international fees within the EU. The rule of thumb announced was: A SEPA transfe...

How do you do this? Is this possible in vanilla or do you need some mod for this?

If you have Python3 installed you can try my Blueprint Decoder tool to decode the "blueprint-storage.dat" file into a JSON file and that into a standard blueprint string: ./decode -s blueprint-storage.dat > x.json 2>x.err ./encode-export-string < x.json > x.export The "-s" option...

A quick idea is this: 0eNq9VVFr2zAQ/itFTxuz28ax09SQp8BgT4OQt3UYRb6kR2XJnOSwEPzfJ9lZmi12G2djYAyyT999+r67056tZAUlobIs3bMcjCAsLWrFUracLVG8mPTms+Sbuy9KEBSg7JNazBZgwDbfn9R8NpdavNx8+FrZsrIfWcBQaGVY+m3PDG4Ulx7b7kpwoGihcBGKF37l4yxXNhS6WKHiVhOr3X6Vww+WjurgXQROaJ8LsCi6MaL6e8Aca7QILaVmsctUVayAXJI3yQSs1AZbQfbM4...

Which IP you you use for connecting? The one the host sees for itself or the "public IP" shown in the AWS UI?

I think it is OK as it is. Especially for the time-bases achievements I see this as a slight nudge to THINK about some more parameters and possibilities instead of just doing the last game over and over again -- just faster. Otherwise everyone will just play the default mode :-) Another thought: The...

[...]I think what caused me to believe this was [...] the fact that I didn't realize it didn't natively exist in game before 0.15 [...], and then not too long ago I came across a thread with a "blueprint string" from 0.13 that made no mention of needing a mod to use and someone else posti...

Note, too, v1.1 of the game can only import strings made as of v0.18 or later. To get older strings, you need to setup a version of the game old enough to import it, and then progressively update it one or two major versions at a time until you are at 0.18 before you can make the final jump to v1.1...

I can see one more "Crude Drop Off" in the north.

You can get a better overview yourself: Go into the "Train" dialog (key "O"), select "Stations" tab and filter for "Crude Drop Off".

A few days ago a link to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D test flew by:

The better/bigger caches seem to give Factorio quite a push forward.

I'm missing some thoughts about the dynamic behaviour of nuclear plants and the trade-offs for this behaviour. Or at least mentioning, that these exists :-) For example: If a reactor starts up again (due to increased demand) and the reactor and heat pipes are cold then it takes longer until the heat...

I call that "debug post"

Now when a rail is destroyed and a train stop that was the target of a moving train becomes inaccessible it doesn't "skip" the stop and instead freezes with the "no-path" message. (supposedly here it is no longer intentionnal). First: The trains behave the same if the train stop...

I have found the console command /c game.player.force.laboratory_speed_modifier, but I don't recall ever changing that myself, and setting it to 1 does not even revert the observed performance to the values seen in my normal game: the same BP is now calculated at 1126 SPM instead of the expected 98...

[...] 'm saying that in whatever multiplayer sessions you are on, either the server host or one of the other people connected are the ones slowing you down. The game cannot and will not allow one player to run at a full 60 FPS if someone else is only able to at 10. It's just the nature of this game...
