Re: my balanced train unloader

I guess you have a different number of locomotives on your trains? You can probably get it working by removing the rails from the blueprint so you can align te unloader correctly

Re: A bug with achievements

That achievement keeps track of all circuits produced across all your saves, so it's probably from an earlier playtrough

Re: Coal Liquefaction

it's hard to see, and it might be an artefact caused by zooming, but could that be a blue belt in between green belts?

Is there a mode/hotkey in which I can only place an item if a matching/similar blueprint ghost is already there? like when building a smelter stack pre-bots? it would make placing 100+ inserters less of a chore

Re: Demolishers taking no damage

They have a high resistance to explosive damage. Your should use regular, non explosive, cannon shells. And invest in physical projectile damage upgrades via research if you haven't already.
Good luck!

Re: [2.0.44] Spidertrons can still move if they have no fuel

IIRC you can also move trains without fuel -very slowly- since 2.0, so you're able to remotely ( and manually) drive a train out of the way or towards a refueling station. Maybe that behavior is extended to other vehicles as well?

Re: Robots suddenly leave the main network

You could configure a request in one roboport for let's say 100 con bots (or logi bots), and pick them out of that robopurt using a filtered inserter that stores them in a chest

Re: 2.0.28 In remote view, try to remove some inventory from the spidertron, no robor come to pick up

You need construction bots to do that. All remote actions on inventory slots of vehicles, inserter, assembly machines,... are handled by construction bots.

Re: reactor heating quickly(solved by self)

Hi sprogofpunk

A reactor being destroyed e.g. by biters if above 900°C will explode and can trigger a chain reaction, but other than that it's no problem: they just max out at 1000°C.
It's highly inefficient though, your precious fuel cells are simply wasted.
You should look for a way to ...

Re: Gleba science pack research micronmanagement solution

Please, let the labs research other enqueued technologies if there are packs missing for the first one in the queue. Make it a priority queue instead of a waiting queue. For a game that's all about automation, forcing the user to micromanage the science queue seems really weird.
