Re: I would appreciate some help on... Gleba

(which just happens naturally when you still build something or there is not enough demand yet)

My super simple technique for this case is to have a circuit disable the agri towers when I'm working. I have a combinator wired up to them and the towers only activate when I have the combinator put ...

Re: [2.0.38] headless debian 12 server random crashes

This seems like a mystery. Clearly your VM has some level of working DNS and reachability to auth.factorio.com. Where did the systemd service definitions come from? Those aren't part of the official distribution. It seems like you'd almost have to go out of your way to craft a systemd startup file ...

Re: ARM Build

I'll add my vote for an Linux ARM64 build. It would let us run a server in a VM on a Mac. I would guess that all of the x86-isms have already been removed to support the Mac client so it might be a pretty small lift to get it compiled. In a perfect world it wouldn't be any more work than just ...

Can you show the full log? journalctl -u factorio.service




Looking there I see:

Re: steam deck space age?

It works fine. I've only played SA on my deck. I haven't yet made it to Aquillo but so far no issues. Other than maybe the screen is a bit small so sometimes I have to turn off the minimap to see the whole tooltip for some things. Having a minimap toggle control would be nice instead of having to go ...

Re: [SOLVED] Find lost designs / blueprints?

Another possibility would be to have blueprints/planners be something a requester chest could ask for. Then the logistic bots could gather them up in one place. I've run into similar issues when I have to get rid of planners in order to travel to another planet and if you aren't careful it's easy to ...

Or at least add the calcite requirement to the foundry page. If it has two craft requirements then they should both be listed.

Re: Decider Combinator help


not sure what I'm doing wrong here, i copy and pasted the blueprint as-is, then I swapped the fast inserter out for a bulk. Then I cut/paste the constant combinators to move them into a position that I could fit them on the platform. That kept all the wires connected it. I double checked that all ...

Re: How much fruit to harvest for a small Gleba factory?



Also, maybe 8 yumako trees isn't enough (or is too much)?


8 is definitely too much, since I don't run out of yumiko fruit and I have to mash it and burn the mash. But 7 was almost too few.

I settled at 8 yumiko trees and 6 jellynut trees. Its not ideal, as it results in more pollution than ...

Re: How much fruit to harvest for a small Gleba factory?



Kirk's factorio calculator says 1 biolab making science needs 25 yamuko and 10 jellynut per minute (although I don't think it's taking nutrient needs into account). That matches my experience. I have 1 tower for each fruit and it keeps between 1 and 2 biolabs busy. And the towers are disabled ...

Re: How much fruit to harvest for a small Gleba factory?



If you only have one biolab making science, you only need a single tree of each type. Less than a single tree. Overproducing fruit so it backs up and loses freshness feels a lot less optimal than disabling the towers. Granted my Gleba experience is limited, but I think two cardinal rules are don ...

Re: How much fruit to harvest for a small Gleba factory?



Rather than burning fruits, process them (even in assemblers), to get back seeds, then burn mush /jelly. Otherwise you might run out or seeds (not too likely, but possible). But also have a way of burning seeds if there is too much of them.
I made constant flow fruit bus, then some single ...

Re: Friday Facts #427 - Combat Balancing & Space Age LAN

The FFF isn't clear to me. Are the combat balancing changes only in the expansion? Or will they be in the base game as well? In the expansion I trust that having played it the devs know that the PLD changes are needed in the expansion since you can have legendary power armor filled with legendary ...

Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements


Very cool! Something not mentioned that I think would really be an additional improvement on top of interrupts would be the ability to temporarily disable interrupts, or fully disable interrupts and only check them at specific points in a schedule.

For example, if you know that the refueling ...
