Manual Automated Research Setup Hell

TL;DR
Group technologies based on required science, eg: all sciences that require ONLY red fall into the same group, all sciences that require BOTH red and green fall in into the same group, etc.


What?

Usability
I'm specifically talking about a way to let all technologies that share a ...

With the release of FFF 443 I have officially ran out of things to complain about. Excellent work to the team at Wube.

Apply rotation to the entire blueprint book toggle

TL;DR
A way to synchronize rotation of all blueprints sharing the same book

What?
When building long segments of rail using blueprints you have to rotate blueprints individually, and a lot of the time un-rotate them later, it's impossible to 'aim' the blueprint book in the direction where the ...

[2.0.69][win64] Radar drawing 320kW when under powered

What did you do?
Started building radar outposts to uncover more of the map
What happened?
When supplying exactly 300kW (5 solar panels) to a radar it requests 320kW
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I expected it to draw exactly 300kW instead of ...

Read wagon types option for the train stop

TL;DR
Give train stops the ability to read train wagon types of a train that's stopped at the stop (not headed to it)

What?
Example: When a train made up of three normal locomotives and a single rare cargo wagon stops at a train stop it would produce a signal of 3x[item=locomotive] and 1x[item ...

Re: Gleba science pack research micronmanagement solution


So, any news about this?

I've recently started producing Gleba science and now realized this problem. This is an obvious oversight and should be fixed.


Don't know about any updates but people already took matters in their own hands

I know that spoilage is manageable, I'm not worreid about it, if I'm not going to be able to manage it it's a pure skill issue on my part (it takes an entire hour for gleba science to spoil iirc), all I'm worried about is having to micromanage different researches

Re: Gleba science pack research micronmanagement solution

1. that's already how science labs work? unless I'm missing something
2. it would encourage using labs as buffers/chests and that would force people to daisy chain their labs if they don't want the science packs to spoil, spreading science around all of the labs evenly would also become a big issue ...

Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements

I might just be dumb, but do interrupts interrupt whatever the train is currently doing, or is it queued after? (and can you toggle it)
Having a train go to pick up ore just for it to do a 180 half way through would be slightly annoying

Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements




If you want the trains to have different behavior based on which train they are, isn't it natural that you would need different schedules for them? Unless you had the stop read the train ID and decide whether to activate the interrupt based on that. Each version could still be a train group ...

I was wondering actually, since the wire connection logic has been rewritten, do combinators keep their connections when 'cut & pasted'


The behavior of red/green wires when pasted will not change. Obviously the connections within a blueprint are kept, now and then.
