Reverted belt building changes from 2.0.61.



Why?..

A good revert for sure. You want to make the process less fiddly in the majority of common use cases, not more. In the end it is never going to be perfect so as long as ...

Looks like it might be "not a bug". 67861 Although this was considered a long time before there was remote driven vehicles, so maybe needs to be reconsidered.

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 ...

If you look at the release history, it's usually not very long between releases.

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.

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

How long did you wait?

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 ...

Why would you want to connect a pump directly to the output when pipes have way higher throughput in the new fluid model?

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 ...

Umm, I don't see any yumako...

That last icon changes depending on what it decides to use for the nutrient base component.

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 ...

Why do i always regret doing changes which i would say are for the better, not the worst? This change was primarily done for consistency with incoming feature to read fuel from biochambers.


Definitely keep it. Consistency is worth it and people can update their designs accordingly.

This always happens. It is clearly intentional.

Using OP's BP I managed to pinpoint the exact moment when it happens.
SpoilageFromFurnaces1-mash.jpg
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 ...

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 ...

Anything spoilable can spoil inside of machines before it’s used.

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 ...

I have an output for spoilage in every lane that has spoilable items.


Ya my Gleba base is an outright mess of belt and underground spaghetti. But at least it worked the first time I turned it on, with only a few tweaks needed here and there for spots I forgot to account for spoilage (like ...

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 ...
