Re: Bulk inserter refusing to insert


I suspect it may be another case of the "Copper wire" vs "Copper cable" and you accidentaly configured one of infinity chests to produce the copper wire (tool used for rewiring poles) instead of copper cable (item crafted from copper plate).


Oh my god it's definitely that. Thank you for the ...

Bulk inserter refusing to insert

Can't tell if this is a bug or is intended. But I can't imagine why this would be intentional

Foundries instead of furnaces on Nauvis?

Is it even a reasonable idea? I much prefer how compact you can get foundries, but the fact that even for smelting iron ore you need calcite, and calcite is only obtainable via space platform on Nauvis makes me think the devs want furnaces to be used on Nauvis.

Getting cargo from rockets to space platform is such a pain in the ass.

I understand not wanting to waste resources sending an under-filled rocket up. But for the love of god I don't need 50 combinators on my space platform, I don't care if it's a waste just load and ship the one. Better yet, why can't the game smartly fill rockets with odds and ends. When I paste down ...

One lane of green circuit boards equals 1 lane of iron plates and 1.5 lanes of copper plates. So that really saves space on the ...

Re: Help needed regarding bus lanes

Ah, just to clarify, when I mean lanes I mean the line of belts as a whole. 1 lane of iron would be 4 rows of belts. Unless there wasn't a misunderstanding- in which case I underestimated just how much I'd need, haha. And the reason I've been using 4 rows of belts is because my trains have been 4 ...

Help needed regarding bus lanes

Hi there, somewhat new player that has well over 40 hours but has never quite reached late game, and I have a few questions. I am trying to set up a bus for my base, but since I've never quite gotten this far, I'm unsure how much or how little of each resource I should be putting on my bus. And ...
