You might be able to use n+1 machines to pull this off with a circuit. Read the recipe from the "1" and compare to the contents the others. Subtract one from the other. Check for +/- then output anything low. You may be able to add a counter system to track efficiency too! The main annoyan...

I like neighbor bonuses because it gives a reason to specialize multiple armors. One might have a bunch of lasers. Another might have roboports. A running set with 10 exoskeletons. Right now, I find it not worthwhile to specialize.

Is there a practical reason cargo landing pads are limited to one per planet? Balance-wise, it would allow sending material cross-planet but that is pretty expensive in most cases. You could target items to different locations. It would also cause possible conflicts from multiple requestors. Since y...

Quite a few mods have odd sizes. So it is still helpful there.

Rotating would be an awesome feature. Also, having neighbor bonuses for some types of items too!

My guess is because if spoilage and mod support.

I assume you could burn things from Gleba that have fuel value but if the train is idle the may spoil.

Some mods use nuclear trains and steam so end with depleted or spent fuel.

Silly question first: Do you have thrusters and fuel loaded into them?

Also, the rocket animation plays between each so there is an upper limit in rockets/minute you can achieve.

The popup could be suppressed unless there are >n roboports. It is unlikely you are merging networks with 50+ together usually. Maybe single digits when building out. ----- Not perfect but could this be solved with a circuit signal? A silly way, that would work today, is to have one singular item in...

I agree that an expensive solution before foundations would be nice. Maybe like 5 larger power lines and a bit of tungsten. Ironically, it is because lightning actually makes things too easy I think. So not having it is more of nuisance. I plop down 50-100 accumulators and then never think about it ...

Can you give an example of multi-items and expectations? I can think of a few different scenarios.

For example, are there multiple suppliers, destinations, trains per stop? Are all items used at all stops or will some empty without others? Should the train re-supply when any item is zero?

Nuclear is easier in my opinion.

Get a quality reactor and turbines. It doesn't take up much space. Also, you can put steam in a tank to store the "water" for travelling.

You also use less water with the calcite based fuels too.

Is there a benefit to burning things when already at maximum temperature? If steam had a temperature value that reflected power it would matter. Without that the only benefit I can see is around really far off heat pipes but the benefit is probably negligible versus ~950°. With nuclear partner bonus...

This reminds be of a mod, maybe SE, that has a way to evaporate steam with a turbines. This costs power and a bit of space as a tradeoff to overproduction.

I am torn in this. Thematically, the ground if Vulcanis is a shell over lava so the things "go" somewhere. On other planets small holes are more like lakes and the things would just stay there. Practically, I could see all oceans act like the lava. Water is infinite so why not depth too :)

Some mods use the double click with delay as well. So if you click once you would need to wait a few seconds go confirm or it stays.

This is kind of fixed in Space Age as you can read a machines contents then stop inserting. You need two filter inserters since one inserter would block u238 as well.

Also useful on Gleba as nutrients have stacks of 100 but spoil quickly.

Agreed on making this easier. Especially, the ability to copy and paste when mixing modules is annoying. It may be a mod, but I thought the green Alt+M button was added as part of the base game. You can right click to add a single module. However, it is finicky when mixing types or qualities. It als...

Look up memory mapping and page cache if you are interested. There is volatile application memory programs use while executing. This is wiped each time the program stops. Separately the operating system or program can pull parts of files from disk into memory for readonly purposes. Think things like...

Also, as my train network gets running I move lower tier things, like green circuits and engines, to their own train stops outside the main factory. You just end up needing too many to centralize. Others, like copper wires and gears are easier to make right where you need them and results in a fewer...

I think the general answer is yes. It may even have slightly higher capacity to boot.

Only downside I can think of is that the limited trash slots with mixed inputs might lead to never getting certain items out.
