Being unable to do this was unexpected when I first encountered it, but I don't mind having to manage the input/output space around hubs and landing pads.

Suggestion
Let underground belts in your cursor check ghost terrain when checking for entrance/exit pairing.

The Problem
While planning a space platform, after placing an underground belt entrance, the underground belt in your cursor will remain an entrance. You will have to reverse the ...

Perfect, thanks

I'm trouble shooting a friend's setup. Stack size is not being overridden. There are no circuit settings on the inserters. The inserters do not wait for a second item after grabbing the first. Even when the belt is saturated with one type of item, they still only grab one at a time. Why aren't these ...

2) increase power drain to match the new generation

This is fascinating, too. How do you arbitrarily set the power consumption to exactly 100% of your fusion reactors' output. Your factory always has a constant draw? Are you putting ...

"Yeah but the quality reactor will produce more power." Yes, with a larger footprint.


I see we are progressing here, now you are claiming quality need higher footprint to produce more power ?


Yes please show me your ultimate quality fusion power setup that produces x MW that is as fuel ...

No , they have the same efficiency when they have the same neighbour bonus and same 100% output (and they produce more power for the same footprint ! )



Nope, to produce that more power you need more footprint. You need more generators to capture the extra power and if you're making a design ...

In case you missed it, my comparaison is just aiming at showing that if you replace "quality reactor" by "more reactor" you arrive at the same conclusion. This means the problem is not about quality, it's about how the reactor are designed.



The problem isn't with quality, it's with how the ...

Cargo landing pads also have radar coverage.

You can change the recipe on holmium solution production to use quality holmium ore. Yes, the fluid doesn't have any quality, but it is a use for the quality ore.

Also I think you're on to something with "who cares if I trash some stuff."

ore CAN have quality. Bug report instead

This isn't a bug. It's intended.

Quality ore doesn't do anything by itself, but its used to make quality products. Quality products can be crafted directly with quality ingredients.

E.G. Quality Ore -> Quality Plate -> Quality Ammo ( does extra damage )

I feel your pain. I feel like the only Factorio player that cares that fusion reactors get worse with quality and I don't think the devs are too concerned with quality balancing, either.

Anyway, I support your petition for quality NVG.

Yes, this is very possible.

The issue you're running into is the recipe changes before the grinder begins to grind. Once it is grinding, a change in recipe wont take effect until the grind is complete. A "dirty" solution is to, when determining which recipe to set, also read the contents of the ...

A "workaround" for this is repeatedly placing and removing the floor tiles. Each time you place floor (or buildings) there's a small chance to remove the plant so eventually you will clear the area.

Here you go, two examples: Packing three different colors and using the encoded value directly

Empty schedules will switch to manual after completing interrupts. I don't know if this is intended behavior or not but I was having exactly the same problem.

Try having your desired default behavior be the entire schedule and use interrupts to modify your train's behavior from there. So for your ...

You can pin space platform hubs and other players. They will get a button under the minimap. You get a picture-in-picture for players, but not platforms, if you just hover your cursor over the pin. If you hit the "edit" button on a platform's pin, it will give you a picture-in-picture. It's almost ...
