I don't think this is really necessary. Because unlike ammo or many intermediate material, they are not transported a lot, nor do they need a large buffer.

What if you flip the script? Have the train constantly go to mines, then interrupt triggers when cargo is full and send it to unloading. Thanks for the explanation, I will not hijack your thread anymore.

This will probably not work, because you don't always need to unload goods, i.e. sometimes ...

I have such a timeout, and the train will leave with partial cargo, and it will be unloaded along with all the other trains. There's no issue with a partially filled train showing up at unload once every few days. Or is there?


Yes, there is. (And actually, this is a serious issue.) Because the ...

Basically, I also want such feature. My intended application is that when a mine is almost depleted, the last load would probably not be full. Thus, after a timeout, I can detect and fill the partially full cargo.


Can't you use inactivity to make the train depart with the last partial load ...

Just curious, what were you building? You want an interrupt to trigger when the train is partially full? Would that not trigger most of the time, i.e. as soon as one item was removed from a full train or one item was added to an empty train?


Basically, I also want such feature. My intended ...

as long as you keep the egg rafts outside of the spore cloud.

First, ignoring hatched eggs, if you can keep egg rafts outside of spore cloud (or spawners outside of pollution cloud on nauvis), no defense is required, which is not only limited to flame throwers but ALL types of turrets, and then ...

Flamethrowers are actually incredible on Gleba, much better than rocket turrets, you have to use a lot of them, but they're very cheap to build and fuel, difficulty of provisioning oil is exaggerated, before you can make it in-situ rocket in some coal or ...

I do beleve flame throwers are completely fine, as they are the specialized solution for nauvis. It is completely useless on vulcanus and extremely ineffective on gleba due to the difficulty to gain oil there. If a nerf must be applied, they should be add the ability to burn other liquid fuels that ...

Yes, this is rather confusing, especially when using the processing uranium recipe. Usually it simply shows 0.00 u235 per second, making NO sense at all.

Perhaps allow us to set it to a per minute basis, so the result is big enough to be presented correctly.

I admit I don't get the point. I don't see a compelling reason for a balancing change. This would be for the whole player base, not just you alone. I am obsessed with circuits, all of my factories including the Aquilo base are heavily depending on circuits. There are numerous combinators ...

- Put all combinators in the same "group" next to the same heating tower or (unfueled) nuclear reactor so that they always thaw together.


This is a good suggestion. I'll take it. Thank you.




Your suggestions help identify (possible) freezing events and thus prevent them, but when one ...

The combinators freeze and thus fail in a unpredictable order, thus makes the signal system's behavior totally unpredictable. What's more, when such failure is spotted by the player and they try to add more heat supply, they also unfreeze in a random order, still causing great trouble.

You ...

Currently, combinators consume power, and are affected by freeze. However, a recent change have been made illustrated in https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=131390 , increasing their power consumption and thus improve signal system stability. Regarding this, I think they should be immune to ...

Oh, I have already posted one after a topic there proposing this. However, after some consideration, I decide this is issue is more an oversight than an intended game design, so I posted here. (The ...

Not the same thing. I specially pointed out I've seen the posts, and that is about beacons without modules. However, I emphasized my post is about UNPOWERED beacons, i.e. beacons unconnected to a power grid regardless of installed modules.

Unpowered beacons still count towards the total amount of beacons and reduce transmission efficiency, as seen in this screenshot.

I've seen posts about "empty beacons count", and related bug reports are classified as "not a bug". However, this time is about UNPOWERED ...

well at least there was at least one cycle before it's happen, but this was pretty much useless before except for speedrun, but now being able to craft unlimited legendary module is quite strong.
