Re: A few questions I haven't manage to find an answer for yet...

Thanks guys. A few notes: Bots: Well, apparently, one day, I had this brilliant idea of covering my entire base with roboports so that they are always reachable from anywhere. To be honest, it was an experiment, because I saw a streamer doing that and I thought, why not. I typically only cover the a...

A few questions I haven't manage to find an answer for yet...

Good day all, I got a few questions I can't seem to find an answer for, so I'm hoping someone might have some knowledge to share. 1) What is the logic for calling construction bots to work? My map is getting to be about medium size now, and I use bots extensively to build outposts. All the material ...

Re: Friday Facts #263 - Trains in blueprints

Just a few weeks left now until it has been 1 year since 0.16 was released. I think the devs tend to forget this as time passes a lot more quickly when playing around and having fun with experimental future features instead. For customers that wait on the other hand these years of postponing releas...

Re: trains, bridges and improvements to the rail system

I am no wiring expert, far from that.. is there a way to turn a signal red when a player is within proximity of said signal? That would cause havoc on some train traffic, but it should prevent you from being run over...

Re: [0.16.10] Requester chests still do not work

The following console command seemed to fix things for me: /c for k,v in pairs(game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered{name="logistic-chest-requester"}) do local s1 = v.get_request_slot(1); if (s1) then local n = s1.name; local c=s1.count; v.clear_request_slot(1); v.set_request_slot({n...

Re: Retrieving blueprints

I figured it out.. but for anyone else looking for it, in Windows, the blueprints file is in %appdata%\Factorio\blueprint-storage.dat. You just need to copy it to ~/.factorio/blueprint-storage.dat

Then restart the game, and blueprints will show up.

Retrieving blueprints

Hello all,

Steam player here, migrating from Windows to Ubuntu (Currently on dual boot). I had no problems with the save games, as I use Steam Cloud but the one thing I seem to have lost is all the blueprints. Is this something I need to copy from/to somewhere manually?

thanks!

Re: Reset option

What do you mean by pending requests? Do you want a way to reset the time stamp since when request threshold was reached? I have no idea what you hope to gain from that. The only reset option that would make sense is to order trains already en route back to their depot. In most cases where this mig...

[Feature Request] Return to Depot

I can probably do this manually, but with 80 or so trains, that'll be a pain... Is there a way to clear all "pending" requests, and have all trains return to the depot?

Re: Rocket launching without satellite, despite checkbox

Well, I believe I figured it out. I was using the loaders from loader redux to feed the silo. I think it probably was faster at putting some random part in the cargo area than an inserter. Once I replaced all the loaders with inserters, the problem disappeared.

Re: Rocket launching without satellite, despite checkbox

I would uncheck the auto launch check box and see if something is being placed in the slot, it launches with cargo, not necessarily a satellite. I tried that as well, and when I uncheck the box, the rocket doesn't launch. Nothing gets thrown in as cargo (I thought maybe one of the rocket component ...

Re: insert fuel only in locomotive but not wagon

Doing that loop tho, will basically void the "inactivity" condition for your train, won't it?

Rocket launching without satellite, despite checkbox

As the title says, rockets are launching without a satellite. This is a new game started about a week ago, 0.15.34. Did something change or is my memory failing me in thinking there's no other requirement than the checkbox to prevent the rocket from launching?

Re: [MOD 0.15] Loader Redux 0.2.8

Any chance we'll see the possibility of using them like a filter inserter? (i.e. be able to use them along with LTN, and select the item being extracted by wiring it?) I already asked that very question on the previous page in this thread. Yikes, I totally missed that. Thanks for pointing it out!!

Trains coming to pick up items at requester locations

I'm having an issue with one station. I've remove/rebuilt it thinking somehow the wiring got messed up, yet, I can't figure out what the problem is. That one particular station requests 2 items: red and green circuits. I see green circuits coming on a regular basis, as expected, but I see empty trai...
