It looks like I had to check "Send to platform".

I wish this was more clear. I would expect this functionality to be called "read connected circuit network" or something.

11-03-2024, 07-19-13.png I'm trying to check if my tanks have filled before launching to my next destination, and it seems the "circuit condition" check for a signal doesn't seem to pass, even when the "circuit connection" window indicates that the circuit is connected and the v...

I just realized, maybe the iron plate in the factory is blocking the pipe whitelisted inserter from pulling the pipe? If that's the case, I'd expect the pipe whitelisted inserter to still pull the pipe out of the factory.

build 2.08 (build 79416, win64) What did you do? I have a factory whose recipe is set via signal to make pipes or gears. I have 2 inserters with whitelist filters, one for gears and one for pipes. What happened? Pipes accumulate in the factory and are not being pulled by the inserter with pipes whit...

Looking forward to this new planet!

TL;DR When using ALT mode, there's no visual distinction in the icon between a filter that's blacklisting or whitelisting the item. What ? There's no visual difference between a filter that's blacklisting vs a filter that's whitelisting. (attachment 1) I suggest either changing the blacklisting bac...

Can't say I'm a fan of the Splitter tweak coming up in the next patch. One can already build a similarly-functioning solution to the problem which the new splitter would address using circuits. I would think that a more powerful building block would trivialize the circuit building game.

This post seems to be more about the pros and cons of the logistic bots and the Logistic Network. If there were some decision about the system to be made in the future, I'd keep the construction bot mechanics the same and would not bother to defend the logistic bot. Construction bots don't really sh...

I edited the wiki for construction robots. https://wiki.factorio.com/Construction_robot#Mechanics

Yes, I checked the 0.15 just to be sure, but this logic of selecting storages over providers always applied only to logistic robots not construction robots. I know the reason why it behaves as it behaves in logistics, but I'm not sure I remember the reason to make it work differently for constructi...

Looks like I got my answer in Discord. Case closed.

Solid copy. Thanks for the clarification, then. Sorry to nitpick, but I just want to make sure this is not a bug. I looked at the wiki again and it doesn't specifically say this is the behavior of just the logistic bot, but it just says "bots" on the network. In fact, it says it's the log...

That works the same in 0.15.40. NaB. With respect, I disagree about this being not a bug. Per the Factorio-hosted wiki: A requested item is first looked up in the active provider chests, then in the storage chests, then the passive provider chests. So, the active provider chests are emptied first, ...

1. What did you do? I placed a ghost of a yellow belt next to a Passive Provider Chest. The passive provider chest has yellow belts. There are storage chests with yellow belts as well but they are further away from the placed ghost. 2. What happened? A construction bot flew to the passive provider c...

I was wondering if anyone could give some pointers on getting a launch under 8 hours with the new science model. I know it's still being tweaked, but is anyone even getting close? I'm a pretty slow player so I'm wondering if this is even possible with the new tech tree.

Regarding the case of the full inventory, wouldn't just dropping it on the ground be a feasible solution, similar to cancelling a queued manual assembly task with a full inventory? Apologies if this was already requested. I did a quick search and didn't see a thread specifically requesting this sugg...

Suggestion: please consider allowing fresh blueprints to stack in inventory.

Thanks.
