When a space platform's schedule moves to the next planet the "Read moving to" signal is not set to 2 if the thrusters are empty.
There doesn't appear to be any way to read the amount of fuel in the thrusters, remove excess fuel to thrusters, or in general tell the ship to start making fuel without ...

I'll vote +1 to this. I had a gleba power outage and wanted to rebuild things without traveling there. Spidertron had the parts in trash but couldn't build ghosts.

How I use interrupts is my trains normal schedule is go to loading station go to unloading station.
Then they have interrupts where if they are low (not empty) on fuel they go to a refueling station to have fuel added to the engines. I don’t transport fuel to each station as the trains now know to ...

Crashed when a second player joined

There should be a message upon joining, only to the joining player.

Experienced player here.
I'd like to play a game with a group of regulars during the specified time.

I think it would be fun to see the game progress from the start, and not make any drastic changes when you go to bed/work the next day.

Anyone else interested?

Dear devs - please don't misuse the crowd - your game is awesome - guess how long it is if the word spreads?
Dear crowd, please don't misuse the devs. Experimental is the cutting edge, and particularly an experimental in the .0-.5 range, and i for one am happy they quickly patch any bugs that ...

I think all logistic slots should have a maximum and a minimum. This way we only need one logistic chest, and would not need trash slots for our inventory. The only other thing needed would be an any item similar to the * introduced with the circuit network.

Active Provider is the same as min = 0 ...

A+++ Sticky worthy IMO.
Author does a good job explaining the pros and cons of each design, how both designs can cause problems and how to fix them.
With a gold star towards not biasing the reading either way.

Left click any power pole and it will give you an infoscreen like the following.

I usually look at the production bar. In the attached image the production bar is approximately 25%, which means it is using ...

What you're looking for is an active provider chest (purple). The bots will come as quickly as they can to remove the items. If the active provider boxes are filling up then you need more storage chests (yellow) (for long term storage), or more logistical bots / roboports (for quicker transfer ...

I'm thinking about creating a mod but from what little modding i've done so far you need to edit control.lua and reload the game to see if it works, this slows things down quite a bit.
Is there anyway to do my write a function in the console, and then once it works copy it to control.lua? I think ...

Unlimited number of slots does not make you overpowered in any way, but it lets you focus on the actual gameplay rather than manual inventory filling.
If you NEED unlimited logistic slots, doesn't that mean you screwed up by not having a base which can supply its needs?
Actually I believe it ...

Why would you ever want that, if I may ask? There will always be some niche situations, but why is this so important to you personally?

It truly splits a belt, without hacky tricks. I would imagine most times ...

The main issue with re-playability is not the land, its that assemblers, inserters, belts, etc all work the same way. Once you figure out how to maximize them the first time, there isn't much else to learn and discover.

Transport tycoon is really about the trains, and once you learn how to build ...

I'll list my annoyance with the personal roboport here too.

Lets say i'm build a new smelting area and I only have one furnace on me, with a large stack elsewhere in the network. So i Shift-Click to build a ghost furnace. However before I can build a second furnace, the robots have stolen my ...

I do not use the following hacks as they seem like cheating.

TLDR; Use multiplicative effects instead of additive effects.

For example, the current maximum power savings is 80%.
Instead if you allowed multiplicative effects, you could save 50% after 1 module, 75% after two modules, 87.5% after 3 modules, 93.75% after 4 modules.

For speed modules this could ...

I really like this idea. There are times I'm having difficulty feeding machines from a belt, not because I can't cram enough inserters around it, but because it runs empty before even a fast inserter can put something in. If you have something that only takes 0.5 seconds and its in an AM3 with a ...

So i started with a splitter, and I can place it; detect when an item-on-ground is inside it; and can teleport the item to some predefined offset ( 2 tiles down, 2 tiles right); so now if I knew what direction it was facing I could teleport it to the ...
