That is very confusing to me because I know I've waited on landfill to show up. Unless this is a Mandela moment.

I'm trying out angel's refining. I wanted something that had raw ore -> metal ore & stone, or something like that. This fits that bill. I'm just getting to further refining. If you're unfamiliar, level 1 is crushing, level 2 is sorting, level 3 is floatation, and it gets deeper. However, every level ...

No. This would cause bots to have to wait until building is placed and if there are no items that place building that robot with modules would be stuck or more complexity would be needed with robots task scheduling.


Doesn't landfill behave this way? I believe I've seen bots waiting for landfill ...

Oooh, yeah, the combination possibilities of the mods is probably pretty overwhelming. Thanks.

I decided to remove bob's intermediates and give that a try. Thanks.

I tried it and it seems to work fine! Iron ore can be crushed into Iron Pebbles. Iron Pebbles can be smelted into Iron Plates. Either by themselves or with Iron Nugget / Iron Slag.


It was because I had bob's intermediates on. If I undo that, I see the pebbles you're talking about. With Bob's ...

Oh thanks. I'll try that. I didn't realize iron ore could be crushed. I didn't see that in the factoriopedia or think to try it.

Hello. I was trying to play with refining but without smelting. Is that possible?

My goal was to play with something involving crushing the raw ore to get stone and metal ore. Refining does that. Saph ore -> crushed saph ore and crushed stone. Next step is sorting and getting iron ore. However ...

Wait, are there more than 2 temps of fk? I thought the hot and cold were it, so the temps are kind of redundant. I know fluids in the game can have various temps but i thought fk was quite consistently hot or cold only.

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 ...
