I love that demolisher's are always active but what about some of these ideas?


1. Possible to significantly reduce the TTL on the SmokeWithTrigger when the demolisher is patrolling so there end up being far less SmokeWithTrigger to deal with in total? Theory being the demolisher is casually moving ...

Quick test: 4 MB/s just now. Wube servers probably are in Europe, so am I. Maybe lines to your part of the world are congested.


Definitely them. My download got canceled few minutes ago and trying to visit factorio.com/download to try again gave me a "Heroku" error page on 3 different ISPs ...

So I was ctrl-clicking iron plates into some gear/green curcuit assemblers then I used WASD to move the character/camera. Immediate desync.

I don't think I did anything else. I've tried to replicate it after it happened yesterday and this evening. Haven't been able too. Probably a mod issue but you ...

Anyone else been having slow download issues from Wube's servers lately? I don't even know what sub-forum to ask in. So doing it here. Downloading mods go at a snails crawl taking several minutes to download a 12.8KB mod. Talking almost bits per second not even bytes per second it goes so slow ...

Was messing around in editor mode working on updating some of my old blueprints to be parameterized. While doing so I got distracted and wanted to test a belt layout with some quality item sorting. Plop down some infinity chests, loaders, splitter sushi "mixer". Went to setup the quality chests and ...

I didn't have this issue in 2.0.15 and earlier since I was staying on the stable releases. Now there are 4 experimentals and I was wanting some of the new features (quickbar icons and quality buttons instead of dropdown that weren't in stable yet). Finally decided to join the experimental releases ...

The tooltip is slightly off from laser turret's real max energy consumption and always has been. The tooltip updates to the expected max consumption of 800kj per shot * total laser shooting speed but the *real* max consumption seems about 200kj more than that according to the power graph every time ...

I had the same issue but mine was because of a the group logistics. I forgot I had 3 other space platforms with the same group and 1 of them was currently over nauvis where I was also trying to load up a brand new platform.

If you hover over the request somewhere it will say what platform the ...

that is what i'm already doing, that makes the thrusters fill entirely while waiting at the planet and then dash right into large asteroids.


You might need more defense then. You can still try this thread out. Basically solved the efficiency problem on thrusters. Which also makes your platform ...

I tried the forum search but it wasn't yielding anything relevant and I find it hard to believe no one else has suggested it yet. Probably using the wrong words and/or the wrong order.


We have this cool construction animation for construction on platforms. Why not play it in reverse for ...

I dunno how applicable it is to your setups but I have all common circuit/cargo conditions on a single combinator just so I don't have all the fuel and ammo/rockets checks cluttering up the schedule. Just have a single circuit "Green check > 0" on each station. Speeds things way up while keeping ...

You can already mosly do this. Circuit wire up some pumps to the platform hub. Set the hub to "read current speed as V" then set pumps to enable when "V < 100". It will launch with max thrust (because thrusters are full) then slow down and maintain roughly 100 km/s speed. That is the most basic ...

I'd love for it to exist. Lock it behind a research that requires space, fulgora, vulcanus, gleba sciences just so you don't have it too early.

I've just worked around it by making two spidertrons. Set one up the way I want. Do the right-click copy-paste. Send the "duplicate" to another planet. Then after placing the spidertron ghost do the right-click copy-pasta again to get the settings back. After that the nauvis one is ready for another ...

Well now. That is weird. I totally missed it. Everything got reset back to stock but the items appeared in a random storage chest...I never saw any bots take them away on the first time it happen because I was else where. 2nd time I place the spidertron right over the storage chests by the ...

I've repeated this twice now.

I loaded up an uncommon (probably irrelevant but just in case) spidertron with a full equipment grid. Gave it a name, custom color and logistic settings. Loaded it on a nauvis rocket, sent it to a platform, sent platform to gleba, and queued an orbital drop. While in ...

Sorry I wasn't intending to click bait. lol.

Taking a closer look at my other "Everything < #" stuff that work...they are all single item things. Well damn...Village Idiot strikes again! I read the description but my expectation bias was too strong and overrode the descriptions explicit information.

Little bit of a mouthful of a title, I know. This picture should say it all.

This is a minimum demo of the issue. There is 1 available construction bot and 1 available storage chest. The bot will never upgrade this chest.
If I stick another storage chest in that empty ...

Reproduction Steps:

Setup a belt loop.
Setup two belts off to the side.
Connect up the circuit network on the loop to one of side belts.
Set the loop belt to "read belt hold all"
Set the side belt to "Enable when Everything < 10".
Setup an arithmetic combinator and have it set to "Each + 0 ...

Pretty minor but bothers me none-the-less that "Always Show" doesn't mean what it says on the tin. If Alt-mode is off then the Display panel only shows the text on-hover which is how it behaves with "Always Show" unchecked with or without alt-mode.
