Somehow that worked too, weird. Thanks anyway, playing on Steam is easier.

OK, thank you, apparently I had forgotten to link my Steam account to the official Factorio page in the past, I can download the older version now at least.

Hello,

I really want to continue my older games and I can't switch to 2.0 because then the mods don't work. However, selecting version 1.1.110 under Betas in the properties tab in Steam does not work, the game stubbornly insists on loading 2.0.
I have not installed the Space Age DLC, which seems to ...

What is a stacker bay?


Parallel rail lines prior to a stop (or set of stops) where trains wait. Similar concept as a depot, only meant to service a specific set of stations.

Kind of like this (and you can do diagonal, too):

Just for clarity sake, there is an actual disable feature of train stops (currently) that is different from setting train limits to 0. Setting the limit to 0 keeps the stop open for any trains already pathed to it, but prevents new ones from pathing to it, whereas disabling makes even current ...

The bold ones are the most critical I think. As soon as he gets blocked a little bit he starts to search for alternate routes.
The last one in the list is why everybody says disabling stations is bad ;)

I also think it happens mostly when those two happen, because trains need to wait every once ...

Basically. Whenever a train hits traffic it tries to repath.

Suggestions:
Try to eliminate turnarounds and roundabouts in your train system.
They give your trains many opertunites for ...

If a loading station has a full train load or more it's limit should be 1, otherwise 0.
If an unloading station can take a full train load or more it's limit should be 1 otherwise 0.
If the the loading stations run full and unloading empty you need more trains, if both run low you need more ...

Use train limits on stations to get your trains to naturally spread out across the stations more. Either set them statically, or dynamically with circuits. And if you're doing any station disabling... don't.

Note that for 2.0, the devs are adding station priority and will be changing station ...

I'm building a big base where I use small twoheaded trains to transport goods, thinking incorrectly it would make the base more flexible to just make multiple small factories for individual goods and give stations names like "GreenCircuitsLoad" and "GreenCircuitsUnload". I assumed the trains would ...

Make a deconstruction planner filtered to only remove ghosts and zoom out on map and just remove them all then.


I tried it, unfortunately the filter for ghosts in the deconstruction planner does not work to remove upgrade requests for buildings, it only removes blueprints for buildings ...

Wrong. But having a large amount of build order within construction reach without materials will make the queue longer so it takes more time to go through the list. But that just means construction bots will react a bit slower to build requests that can be fulfilled. Since you don't have the ...

Turns out there is some hard cap at 600 build orders, and if those build orders happen to be elsewhere on the map where they cant be fulfilled, robots everywhere stop working until those orders are done, or at least, that's what I can gather online about how this works.

There is no hard cap on ...

Hello,

I placed a lot of upgrade orders in different logistic networks, intending to walk past those points with my spidertrons to do those upgrades, but the construction robots refuse to work. Turns out there is some hard cap at 600 build orders, and if those build orders happen to be elsewhere on ...
