TL;DR
The Biochamber should default to jelly recipe when crafting rocket fuel.

What?

I expected the biochamber to default to the rocket fuel from jelly recipe. It doesn't. I defaults to the assembling machine version that uses light oil and solid fuel. It seems more consistent to me to use the ...

That is not a bug, if you send an item signal it will set a recipe that produces that item, nothing more.

Right. But I think it's picking the wrong recipe. There are 2 ways to make rocket fuel. There are also 2 ways to make plastic. If I send a plastic signal, the biochamber uses the biochamber ...

I'm trying to setup a circuit where the biochamber crafts whatever signal is sent to it. This works pretty well for most of the time. If I send it a plastic signal, it picks the bioplastic recipe which uses mash and flux. It doesn't pick the chemical plant recipe which uses coal and petro gas. I ...

Thank you. How did my mod searches not find this?

Is there a mod for excess solid fuel?

If I had the time to mod - burning it and getting steam and co2. Turn the steam into water and the co2 into carbon somehow.

This old mod enables a research upgrade to laser range. I would like to use it but it's not updated.

No need to be a jerk.

The ice planet could have given us refrigerators or freezers or something. (there's a mod I use that does this)

How do I keep a minimum on a space ship? I have a ship running between vulcanas and nauvis. It requests 1k calcite from nauvis. I want it to drop 950 of that on nauvis and keep 50. Nauvis cargo landing pad is requesting said 950. I have a generic "space platform starter" logistic group on the ...

That makes sense. Thank you.

Done. Thanks for the reminder.

Describe the problem by answering these questions

What did you do?
I automated landing pad requests via circuit. Constant combinator requests are set (4.0k calcite, etc). Another combinator takes logistic network inventory and multiplies it by -1. So, if I have 3.0k calcite, it results -3.0k ...

Sounds like a fermentation chamber. I use this with my sourdough bread

+1. There should be some kind of productivity if not this.

+1 for this. I know it kind of invalidates the point of aquilo, but it's literally a technology we use irl and have for a long time.

I know that the belts and inserters and everything have been their colors forEVER and are unlikely to change, but it's a little confusing to me.

Item | Tier 1 | Tier 2 | Tier 3 | Tier 4 | Tier 5
Inserter* | yellow | blue | green | white | n/a
Belt | yellow | red | blue | green | n/a
Assembler ...

+1 from me. What I end up doing is alt-tabbing to a website that has the RGB colors listed. However, they're not always right and it'd be better if it was in game. Even listing the RGB on the factoripedia page would be an improvement.

First off - I know it's mod able. I have it. I think it shouldn't have to be modded.

It's really inconsistent and doesn't add anything. Every other end product on gleba doesn't spoil. Only science packs. Every other science pack doesn't spoil in any manner. Space logistics aren't robust enough to ...

The heating mechanic is generally pretty nonsensical, it’s 100% gameplay and 0% realism. You kind of just have to accept it as it is.

Heating with steam instead of heat pipes would be OP, because steam can go through underground pipes while heat cannot.


I'm not looking for realism, but ...
