I make a big deal about it because otherwise you need extra combinators to refresh the recipe, it's possible to do differently but it complicate things , you can use something like that :

In any case thee is no way this is responsible for setting the incorrect receipe to the crusher, it would ...

You make a big deal about the circular belt, even though 1. there's only one part of the belt that is being read, and 2. as you can see from my blueprint, I am not using a circular belt in my build. Kinda defeats the purpose of a "trash chute belt" where things on it get chucked away.

I don't understand what you want, then. You can see the set-up I have for my trash chute belt and what I need the signal network to do.

Re-did the copy and paste job, still got the crushing recipes going.

The crushers and deciders are not hooked up to any other part of the platform. I've never had any sort of past circuit network in this area. Here's a blueprint of the set-up I have, the same as yours, just with some stuff repositioned.

Same problem

So it seems there's a kink in the system somewhere. I've no idea how, but the crushers are getting stalled because at some point the recipes for getting resources from asteroids are getting fed into them, and suddenly they have iron ore or ice in their inventory.

Perfect, thanks very much

My space platform for Aquilo (and later for the edge of the solar system) has a pair of "trash chute" belts - whatever excess is generated by machines, it gets dumped onto these belts that eventually lead to inserters that chuck it all into space. While this keeps the throughput going, it's not as ...

And what are reasons to follow suggested tree path?

I've already given them; earlier unlock, simpler to set up, no need for interplanetary supply lines, self-contained on Nauvis, can easily be integrated into existing tech tree.


You still miss key point. There is no choice between importing ...

Because that is the extreme end-game, this would be able to be usable far earlier.
You can’t access it before handling Gleba.

You can't access Biochambers before handling Gleba, either.

At the same time, you also need to set up a production chain for biolabs and Production Modules 3, both of ...

there is no production chain of Nutrients on Nauvis innately, you either recycle Biter Eggs or Fish, and both require player input and undermine what I feel is a core theme of Gleba's researches - sustainability
Recycle biter egg? You definitely should learn recipes before making suggestions ...

TL;DR
Add a new recipe to convert Wood into either Spoilage or Nutrients.

What?
I would add this recipe to unlock with Tree Seeding. I say either Spoilage or Nutrients, because the same goal would be accomplished either way, but Nutrients would be more rewarding for the player to utilize this ...

As was advised before, Vulcanus became my major staging ground for building space platforms, the easy infinite resources and no worries about pollution made it easy to set up stuff there, while Nauvis focused on science pack production.

As for what to do differently, actually, not much. I played ...

Well, it wasn't easy, but I just barely slid in on the edge of my belly.

TL;DR
I think it would be helpful to have a filter in blueprints to disable or retain item Quality.

What?
Currently, if you make a Blueprint with any Quality items in it, placing that Blueprint will demand Quality items to build it. But there may be cases where you don't want Quality to be ...

I've made several attempts at it, mostly to get a feel for things. I've never gone past the 10 hour mark because I tend to stall in one way or another, so I'm looking for advice and wondering what I can do to improve. Naturally, I'm playing with cranked-up resource settings so I begin with large ore ...

Apologies if this is already know, I checked the forums and didn't see it.

Simply put, my space platform received a delivery from a rocket silo while in-motion between planets. I think it occurred because I manually sent up the rocket just as the platform's wait condition was fulfilled (ftr, was "0 ...

TL;DR
A device that can receive belt feed of any stack size and output stacks of a set size.

What?

Currently, there's no simple way to un-stack stacked items on a conveyor aside from having inserters transfer them from one conveyor to another. While some have suggested an option to limit the ...

Inserters have a setting to gather based on freshness and prioritize least fresh or freshest; how about an identical setting for Quality, and set it to prioritize moving higher or lower Quality items first? A niche use perhaps, but could be useful, like when feeding tons of stuff into recyclers ...
