Re: [2.0.15] Rocket Silo Orbital Requests flicker unrequested items rapidly.



I experienced same issue, you have to filter only signals >0 for now. I posted report with video samples 2 weeks ago: https://forums.factorio.com/121003


Unfortunately while that helps a bit that won't fix things, as if you have some of the items you need on another platform then the signal ...

Re: [2.0.23] Splitters filtered for spoilage sometimes ignore items that spoil after reaching them

If you look at the top screenshot, just on the entrance to the splitter you can see a tiny bit of yellow, indicating there is still a science pack there. Maybe even a utility science pack that got accidentally put on the belt.

Re: [2.0.23] Splitters filtered for spoilage sometimes ignore items that spoil after reaching them

There is a good chance there is still an agriculture science pack inside the splitter that hasn't spoiled yet.

Re: [2.0.24] Mines can now be used to create space donuts!



I'm guessing this is intended or a minor issue. It still requires you to expend resources to build a solid platform, so you can't save platform tiles by blueprinting swiss cheese.


Sure, but you can make your platform lighter, and hence faster (though probably not much faster)


It’s a good ...

Re: [2.0.20] Platform Drops a full load at every planet when 'any' quality



The 'any quality' drop order is assigned to Nauvis


I think you cannot assign drop order to a planet, when you assign a planet in the logistic request it's only for where the item should come from, which planet should send it to orbit.

Correct. That planet assignment is only for picking up ...

Re: [2.0.22] Starter pack dissapears when inserted into silo

Do you have a new space platform created already? If not you can go to the map view and in the top left select the option to create a platform. It should have an exclamation mark next to it saying it is waiting for a starter pack. Then when you insert the starter pack you should be able to launch ...

Using OP's BP I managed to pinpoint the exact moment when it happens.

Inserter is trying to refuel the furnace with mash and in exactly 7 ticks the mash in its hand spoils. The furnace has still mash in the fuel slot, so spoilage goes into the trash slot ...

Re: Furnaces give out spoilage sometimes which causes stuck belts

But if the spoilage exceeds the maximum stack size, and no other fuel slots are available to put it in, then I believe it will store the spoilage in a separate slot in the furnace, and that can be removed by inserters.

I haven’t tested it personally yet with furnaces, but every other machine ...

I'm guessing that some players might just not want to deal with pentapod's regular egg rafts expanding into the range of your spore cloud ? (Until they are ready to.)

There's a solution to keeping alive pentapod eggs : craft biochambers using them, later recycle them back into fresh eggs

I couldn't care less if this works with blue prints, but I wish it did work when you want to copy and paste something.
This more often comes up when I am cutting/pasting some belts and need to remove a piece or two to make it fit.

I feel like Gleba is almost a litmus test for “fluid intelligence”. You need to be able to think ahead, and then think on the fly.
If you are the type of player who wants perfect ratios, no spoilage, and wants to test everything one step at a time, you will be in absolute pain because that is ...

I would think it would just be better to not allow any fluids through unless a recipe is set, and then of course the only fluid it will take is the one set in the recipe.

Is there actually any practical situation where you would want any other fluids passing through it anyway? Even with circuit ...
