And this will be why we can't have stone in space

I thought people would understand the internal pipe but I was WRONG. I think it's just a visibility thing. If there were some way to see the internal pipes it would alleviate most of the problem. I'll do some MS-Paint UI design tonight. The functionality provided by the internal pipes is great so I...

Y'all went offworld without a stack of construction bots? You can't bring bots with you into space. You have to gather resources and build a cargo landing pad first to receive them. You can drop stuff manually to the surface without a landing pad. You just can't do it automatically. I landed on Vul...

I think you can block the whole inventory to prevent automatic interaction, do your manual adjustments, then clear the block. Should work unless you have a block already in place.

You can set a maximum of 2^32-1 and get an effective infinity, or just mash 9 5-6 times /shrug Okay, and? Being able to work around them with an ugly kludge doesn't mean obviously wrong things shouldn't be fixed. Why is it obviously wrong? I still don't know what the use case is for "I want a ...

It trashes what I didn't request. I only set one value. No, you didn't. You created a request with max of infinity, and requests with a max of infinity shouldn't have special behavior that doesn't make sense just because you happen to find that behavior more useful than what should logically happen...

I'm not the Factorio team, but "trash unrequested" not overriding "to inf" would make it almost useless. 99% of my use for it is "set max to min on all requests". It doesn't make any sense for that use case to be satisfied by Trash Unrequested. If I create a request fo...

This is display rounding iirc. The bonus has two digit precision but the display only has one digit precision and omits the 0.05 tail on some values.

I have a space platform requesting 1000 Bioflux with a minimum of 100. On planet there are 1000 Bioflux available and the rocket silo seems to request them all. Tons of bots start delivering them. But then the rocket launches with just ~100 Bioflux, the minimum set for a rocket. Right after the sec...

This behavior seems fine. The alternative is that the rocket waits for bots in-flight, but if there's a steady production far enough away such that a new bot departs before the previous one arrives we'd have someone making the inverse of this post that the minimum value wasn't doing anything.

They definitely allow properly explained bug reports for it.

My main struggle is with the Construction Robots, because they can carry only one item at a time, I often struggle with deconstructing large districts because of it. The bots will ignore all empty Storage Chests and fly all the way to the other end of the Logistic Network to dump the 1 rail they pi...

The platform is a highly polarized electret to enable neutrally charged small items to stick to it.

If i want to totally delete and redo a large area is there a hotkey or something i can do to delete an entire area rather than right click on each item to recover it into my inventory? Thx! Construction bots and a deconstruction planner. Nuclear bombs. Removing defenses and letting biters do the wo...

Near as I can find, solid ammonia has tetrahedral symmetry. Also, there is water ice on Aquilo. The ocean when you pump it up and separate it is a solution of water ice in liquid ammonia.

You could probably automate this by putting them on a belt north of the silo

Bumping this thread. Belts can defend against asteroids better than walls, that cannot be intended behaviour.

This is how it used to be, but beacons were huge amounts of visual clutter as a result. Maybe a setting? But there's already a billion settings...

Click on the hub, add a stop at Gleba like you would with a train, then click the play button next to the Gleba stop.
