I like to keep a deconstruction planner for trees/rocks so I have it in my inventory at all times. Since I don't want to have to launch it in a rocket every time I switch planets, I leave it behind and have a logistics request to pick it up again every time I drop down again. Except, when I go to a ...

Don't think that's a bug. From the FFF that introduced us to the stack inserter (still called bulk back then): Inserters can only put items into empty spots on belts, no putting onto existing stacks. Side-loading and splitters do not modify the stack heights at all. If only Bulk inserters interact ...

I agree with this, for one important reason: if an inserter is taking items off a belt to feed a machine, and the item rots while the inserter is swinging, then the inserter will get clogged and there's no way to prevent it. You'd have to put a second inserter to grab any potential Spoilage off of t...

TL;DR Add a better way to get seeds from fruit. What? Add another recipe with a much better chance to produce seeds, but with no other products. Why? Currently seeds are 2% per fruit and each seed produces 50 fruit which is on average a net zero if you have no production bonus. However, Biochambers...

TL;DR The Spoilage-related Tips and Tricks need more information in them to explain the edge cases of spoilage. What? We need information such as: what happens to items that spoil while inside machines-- do they output to inserters even if the item was in the input slot? Can items rot while being c...

Part of the thruster structure needs to be placed on open space, so if you try placing them on top of existing platform foundation it may require the super-force build (shift+ctrl) to automatically remove existing foundation.

Yes, I did some searches and didn't see any ideas similar to mine.

The problem right now is when an inserter wants to insert or remove an item, it has to check each slot until it finds a valid one, right? What if the chest inventory was split into three arrays- full slots, empty slots, and partially filled slots? It works like this: When an item needs to be inserte...

Where are levac fish and dorflurp jellyfish? I can't seem to find any in my world.

I'm playing a game with angel mods and bob's mods. There's a recipe that turns 1 crystal powder and 1 purified water into 1 crystal slurry. I find this very strange since every other recipe that produces liquid produces at least 10 of it. As it is currently this recipe is near useless because you g...
