Re: splitter bug / problem


The first one will also jam if items are only on one (wrong) side of the belt. Side loading an underground only lets through the product that hits the "open" half of it.


Sorry for bothering everyone — turns out it was just user error on my part.

splitter bug / problem

It’s strange—when my 4x4 splitter is facing left, everything works perfectly. But if I flip the design to face right, the belts get jammed and the flow stops. (see the red arrow) Can anyone knowledgeable explain why this happens? Is there a technical reason for this behavior, or a fix to make it ...

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers



I’d like to keep all my buildings and entities, but remove all red and green wires so I can redo the wiring from scratch.
Is there an easy way to do this, maybe via the editor mode or some other trick?


I don't think there is an easy way, that would require some complicated command. There are ...

Hi everyone,
I’ve built a nice layout in my current map, but unfortunately I’ve made quite a mess with the red and green circuit wires.

you can delete them in the editor with the decon planner, they would just disappear and their content.

Friday Facts #404 - Frustration not found

With a blueprint in the cursor:

SHIFT + Arrow keys - adjusts the Grid position.
CONTROL + Arrow keys - adjusts the Absolute grid offset.

This arrow key klick doesn’t work on the Mac.
Where may I set this in the Factorio preferences?

Re: Reactor network setup

What do you think about my idea of scrapping the system T value entirely and instead implementing a mechanism where, whenever a useful fuel cell is removed from the reactor, only one new fuel cell is inserted?

I tried the -750 with one reactor for several hours, but it didn’t work out for me at reliable as with four.
I don’t know why it is so, but that is life.

Re: Reactor network setup



Now if you think of it, do you need to connect the 4 reactors and use - 3000 ? or could you just go with 1 reactor and use -750 ? seem to work the same to me.

Is this the case?
If I connect a wire to 4 reactors to check the temperature I will loose the neighboring bonus?
