Artillery cleaning all chunks -> no more enemy?

Hi all,

Recently, in my game, I was fed up with the constant attacks of pentapods on Gleba. To take serious action on the matter I sent my black belt diplomatic delegation: the legendary artillery wagons. My base is not that big and did not venture far away neither.
So, I put few artillery wagons ...

Thank you!
Thank you for your help and patience. It seems a grain of sand got into the machine. I retested it based on what you shared and it works.

Re: arithmetic combinator - constant number ... dinamically?

Have you tried your approach in practice? This approach seems to not work. That's my problem. Using a signal with value on the right side does not do the multiplication with that value.

arithmetic combinator - constant number ... dinamically?

Hi everyone!

Is there any way to set the constant value on the right side dynamically? I would like to set the multiplier based on conditions, but can't. Having a signal with a given value does not help this situation.

Re: Let's talk train design



Hmm. You are right. It is not straightforward that it does not work for loading. -> I think it can be made that way, that it does not have to empty, so it "remember" what to load and unload all the time, because the cargo is not empty. "I got oil, okay I start to unload it. I am almost empty ...

Re: Let's talk train design



My main problem is the following:

Your build contains a mistake, based on wrong assumption about the wildcard expansion. Use it for unloading, but not for loading.

The idea is to start with an empty train. Completely empty. For an empty train, no green cargo or fluid wildcard can match. So ...

Re: Let's talk train design



By some time all fluid trains will carry water which become basically useless.


That means you're doing it wrong, not that the mechanics have flaws. All of the solutions described in this thread cannot have this happen.


Yes, it is easily can happen. In addition, it is explicity stated in ...

Here is something that's currently on my mind. We all want to build a logistic train system in vanilla. It sounded so easy in the FFF. Here's the problem: The natural way to do it with interrupts doesn't work with multiple provider stations. I think by now, all the train afficianados know the ...

Re: Deconstruction in blueprints

+1
When I alter some of my blueprints they definitely affects the real ones which are built. And in some cases I move around pipes and stuff and the old one screws it up. I use lamps as a "destroy whatever was here" placeholders, then remove the lamps too after that. And update the blueprint ...

[2.0.64] Crossing a pipeline does not autobuild underground connection

Hi!

This is halfway on the bug-feature scale.
When there is a belt line and if you cross-build it with something - for examples pipes - the game autobuilds an underground connection to keep the line.
This is not the case with pipes which is quite annoying, as it has to be handled manually every ...

List of complete overhaul mods that are supported in 2.0 / Space age?

Hi all,

Recently I am doing my megabase stuff, looking for knowledge and blueprints on the internet, and what I realized that the base game is not too challening. I mean it does not force me to think more deeply, not punishing me enough or it is just not too exciting for me. There is so much stuff ...

Hi guys!

First of all; thanks for all your answers!

I never played city building games before, nor really open world ones, so this is new journey for me as well. As I have completed the game, I had to ...

Hi guys, my fellow factory builders!

How do pros approach the game? How do they design new things? Do they plan, calculate then execute? Or do they just play by feeling? When I see other guys, for example Nilaus, he just casually do stuff which works. No efforts, no struggle, just do this and that ...

See the images attached. The pollution increases disproportionately, it is much larger than it should be. Or do I misunderstand something?

Re: Do you care about infrastructure costs? Does it matter?


The ultimate cost is your own time. You have only a very finite amount of it, so you should favour using it to your best advantage. Will optimising your infrastructure costs free more time for you to do other stuff you wish you had more time for ? Then do optimise. Will optimising your ...
