Final Fulgora EM potion plant

This is my design to take only the two native Fulgora resources (scrap and heavy oil) and turn them into rocketships full of EM potions. Here are the factory specs: (my scrap recycling tech is at level 25)

Inputs: two fully stacked belts of scrap (480/s) and two ports for heavy oil (<500/s each ...

Re: [raiguard][2.1.8] Fluid is not shared evenly



non-sucking machines could simply be treated as a pipeline segment with an internal buffer size large enough to hold at least one (or even more) craft's worth of fluid. This would solve the issue of lacking a crafting buffer while keeping the pass-through connection fully operational.The only ...

Re: Dealing with Fulgora Concrete in 2.1


No, the problem is the Concrete itself taking way too long to break down. 33 Concrete/s vs. 900 in with the old Hazard Concrete setup in the same footprint.

I have managed to circumvent my issue by just using Concrete Text Plates. Relying on a mod crafting recipe feels like cheating but I'd ...

Re: Spoiled priority not working (apparently) on stack inserter


Also general advice: dont use a stack inserter for that. Even if it worked as intended, it would be left with up to 15 biter eggs in its hand as it does not swing without a full stack. There are some circuit automation to make it drop that last bit, but I dont quite know how.


Thanks. Note that ...

Re: Dealing with Fulgora Concrete in 2.1

Hmmm .. it says hazard concrete recycles into the *ingredients for concrete* .. so stone bricks and iron ore. Did they change the recycling speed too, or will recycling hazard concrete dump those raw ingredients much faster than for concrete? If so, that's probably got a manageable workaround ...

Re: Platform gets much more items from a planet than requested

Rockets fly up completely filled by default. If you set the upper limit to be equal to the lower limit in the request, then any excess items will be dropped back down to the planet before you depart to your next destination.

Spoiled priority not working (apparently) on stack inserter

I have a stack inserter that I use to toss expiring biter eggs on my promethium ship so I don't get overrun. It is enabled by a countdown timer, and I just noticed that it doesn't respect the "spoiled first" priority that I have set (see image). No matter which options I select (including switching ...

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers

Does having a higher quality ag-tower yield ANY benefit? There is nothing in the wiki or in-game help that I can find (other than increased hit points), but somewhere online (reddit?) it said that higher quality ag towers lower spore production, with legendary towers producing only 2.5 per harvested ...

there is no such thing as a asteroid recycling loophole that got closed you can use space mining, it's competitive if you don't have much mining productivity

Is space mining for legendary raw resources still competitive?

I am currently trying to make an "all legendary" factory hub before making a "promethium push", and it's brutal trying to feed it resources so far. I have some pretty efficient designs for some things (iron, copper, steel, stone), but others are excruciatingly slow .. particularly the ones based on ...

Re: When does train interrupt status get updated?

Thanks .. always fun to "discover" a truth that everyone else has known for ages :lol:

Your design is interesting ... I have always unloaded my ore trains directly into smelting stations, rather than having a combined ore depot like that. Are you belting the ore to where it is needed? Seems like ...

Re: When does train interrupt status get updated?



I am trying to get an interrupt to trigger when a train has been routed to the shunting station but has not yet arrived because it is stopped in a stacker. I am trying to create a "deshunt" condition that will cancel the temporary stop at the shunting station and re-route the train to an ...

Re: [2.0.14] Circuit condition trigger for interrupts will never fire



Would like to point out that this is a bug still.


It's not a bug. Circuit conditions in interrupts are a red herring and should never be used because circuit conditions are only valid when a train is stopped normally at a train stop and interrupts happen at any point during a trains life ...

research queue not enabled after beating game

I just finished my first run through, and had a gleeful time making all sorts of silly mistakes before finally managing to launch my rocket and get the "Smoke me a kipper" achievement. I have since started another run where I will do everything PERFECTLY (yeah, right!), and I just went to queue up ...
