Re: [2.0.47] Fuel Wildcard condition should be true if no valid fuel is found

I am working on a "universal" quality refuel station. And the fuel type check is a problem as you have pointed out. A fuel type wildcard like "any nuclear" "Any rocket",... would be helpful - or "remaining burn energy" to make this process easier (as seeds, spoilage, rocket fuel and nuclear have ...

Fuel Wildcard condition should be true if no valid fuel is found

What did you do?
I was testing a new refuelling station. In order to test it I removed all fuel from the locomotive - I had a refuel condition "Fuel(any) Fuel(wildcard) <=1)".

Re: Auto-launching of mixed rockets

I believe the problem is not if a mixed rocket thing is solvable - I surely is. The problem is the cost.

With single item rockets the computation is simple. Find a full rocket or fill a rocket with robots - done.

With mixed rockets you will have to iterate over all items, calculate weight ...

Re: Biochambers need a better lategame integration

Having different biological processes for each planet will be a hazzle. I had the impression that this would keep in line with the limits the factorio team has setup. Gleba fruits, nuts and bacteria won´t grow anywhere else but Gleba. And it is in line with real world examples. Most organism ...

Offer a toString replacement for blueprint parameters in Train Station names

TL;DR
Offer a Parameter to String option for train stations in parametrised blueprints

What?
At the moment if a Tran station contains an icon that is part of a blueprint parameter - the icon
will be replaced with a chosen icon. It would be great if one could also include the in game name and ...

Biochambers need a better lategame integration

TL;DR
Biochambers need a late game buff to come in line with other planet buildings like recycler, electromagnetic plant and Foundry


What?
Biochambers utility is not en par with other planet specific buildings. Below I will give my view of the current state
and examples why biochambers could ...

Re: Version 2.0.45


Just an update:
1. In the next release, all saves started with version prior 2.0.45 will not have the achievements limited the new way.
2. There is a new popup which tells you which achievements (and why) are going to be disabled if you start with these settings. (In the map generator gui).
3. I ...

Re: Perfect Nuclear Cloverleaf v3, Modular 1-4 cores book : 40-480MW, All the bells and whistles

Hi gGeorg,

thank you for the blueprint. I am currently playing with Space Exploration mod. This mod changes the efficiency of solar panels e.g. they are only 30% effective. This can lead to the reactor logic / pumps running out of power. The reactor only needs solar/Accumulator for the first start ...
