That means you're doing it wrong, not that the mechanics have flaws. All of the solutions described in this thread cannot have this happen.

Not OP, but perhaps it's minimizing number of items in flight?

This is not a good idea, since it can break set ups that rely on the logistics area being a specific size. It would turn higher quality roboports from being a simple drop in replacement to one where you have to adjust the build to make sure that areas that are supposed to be disconnected stay ...

Is there any way in-game to tell when something is marked as a catalyst? This isn't automatic. Bacteria cultivation, for example, is not a catalytic recipe.

AFAIK, the only method is to do math with the production rates with productivity present.


Per https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-256 ...

This sounds like a mod request and less of a feature request. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/EverythingOnNauvis

hi

Part of the input is marked as a catalyst. Catalysts are subtracted from bonus production.

I think this thread is kind of missing the point of enemies in Factorio. They aren't really meant to be an existential threat that can keep up with you. This is clearly evidenced by the existence of artillery and nukes, for which no amount of biter evolution can match. Even the Demolishers and big ...

Vulcanus, one green belt coming out of a green balancer and is then halved into two red ones, each feeding 15 refineries. As per screenshot, coal is depleted around the eleveth refinery.


One side of your belts are not saturated. I'd run your mine's outputs ...

It's exactly how every other production building works with quality

But, for some reason, if Recycler has Quality modules, Recycler doesn't want to output anything into the buffer, when belt is disabled. It wants to output things immediately onto the belt, and stops very often, even with Buffer empty. Anyone knows why?


If it rolls a different quality output ...

You can turn it to zero at map generation time

It's generally safe to assume that the Factorio devs have done the most aggressive optimization possible

But even if you insert just one fuel cell at a time when the reactor's temperature is below the 500 C minimum, one fuel cell produces 8 GJ of heat energy in a reactor - before multiplying for the neighbor bonus.
That's much more than enough to heat the reactor to the 1000 C maximum, and any energy ...

The way I deal with this in midgame or before Fulgora is overproduction with half being quality and the other being normal. The normal output prioritizes drawing normal items from quality production, so if quality items aren't being used it fails over to using the normal-only production line.

Yeah how dump of me who want to use my tank submachine gun !


Use its cannon? The tank's MG is very much meant for mediums and below. And maybe stray large spitters.


Also, if my tank submachine gun is obsolete like almost as soon as I unlock it, what the point of having it ?


How late are ...

Could you put cars/tanks on top of heat pipes and have the inserters feed them, though?

If you know anyone with an Android phone, they already know it.

From clues it sounds like a good decision.

Put something you don't use elsewhere like wooden chests in those spots. Deconstruct wooden chests after.
