I felt on the other hand that Gleba was difficult but very forgiving. I think they hit the sweet spot on difficulty.
Gleba being more difficult then other planets is not a bad thing, in my opinion.
After the streamers complained and made memes about it, I was expecting hell.
I went in blind, a ...

I feel like this part of the game is well balanced, because in the worst case scenario, a new player could take 15-25 minutes to a new planet. Impossibly long in game time, with not much to do.
I really like the mechanic being simple in this case, because I want to think about surface logistics ...

I agree with the "=" compromise, it's already ingrained. Maybe a new setting we can enable?

I was surprised not to find this in the factoriopedia too.

Yeah, we're 90% of the way there but a bit more work on that would be good, if you can.
even better would be to allow to change planet for everything in the logistic group
That would be really appreciated too.
Usecase : I was on earlygame Gleba and needed random mall items. Nauvis Silo was busy ...

I like this, it would also play well with quality silos being more resource efficient.

I completely agree, and legendary lights should feel powerful.
Directional lights would be nice too, but I might be alone on that one.

What
Rocket throughput doesn't seem to benefit from high quality beacons, silo or speed modules. source
I think we should see an increase in throughput over quality levels, even with huge diminishing returns.
Why

It robs me of the pleasure of upgrading my silo builds with quality items, as ...

Understood, thank you.

Some legendary items being useless feels like a bug to me. A noob trap that you can't compute from the available info. Especially something as vital as a rocket silo.
There must be ways to avoid changing the minimum speed while still increasing the throughput over the entire crafting speed bonus ...

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I don't want to increase the already crazy throughput of a rocket silo (2222 SPM).
If possible, I'd like for that throughput to be only achievable with everything legendary. That would make quality progression feel much more rewarding.

What did you do?
Using /editor, I compared silos of different qualities, to plan for a big base.

What happened?
Quality silo, quality beacons and quality speed modules don't seem to increase the throughput of the silo.
A legendary silo will work faster and wait longer ...

Now I can put my reactors wherever I want, I'm not dependent on a lake anymore, it's great. I always wanted to feed them with trains :D
As far as I can tell, fluid train throughput is 50% better now thanks to the fluid wagon buff, which makes the lower pump speed values irrelevant to me.
The 250x250 ...

Hello friends,
Using the same method as in the previous post, I plot speed over time of a train's in-game values and compare them to the output of the C program's braking loop function.

Additional weird behaviors from the mod: It happened only once for now, but the speed value suddenly went down in ...

I like this one.

Resource richness & size were cranked up to max, trees and water to the the minimum. Biters & pollution disabled.

Hello friends,
First of all, shout-out to this thread : https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=110072. They are modeling maximum theoretical train throughput, it's a very interesting read for people that I assume are interested in train braking because they want to model train behavior, or ...

It's what I always imagined endgame power would be. Few entities making a lot of GW, and behaving a bit like current fission power. And it feeds into fluid 2.0 nicely (which I also love). Just how big do you want us to build? I can't wait. No water management and the new wide range of connection ...

I made new measurements that are a lot more precise, and the .ods is now a lot easier to read imo https://gitlab.com/universe822/factorio-trains/-/blob/72fae114eb5ab5dfd9664f21e2169a39abed8f2a/game%20tick%20measurement/train_tick_measurements.ods

This time, I made graphs because it's quite hard ...

But now i'm confused because i don't know if it's "perfect" or if there is still some little imprecisions and if so at which order of magnitude and what could cause it. As the interpretations of the results' precision seem to differ. is it perfect ? or is it 4% off sometimes ? and is it just me ...

Hi again friends, thank you for your answers and hard work. I did some additional in-game measurements to compare several braking formulas.
I can also say, as you did, with some confidence, that friction is a thing, even if I can't get a perfect result for some reason.
I wasn't able to find out the ...
