Re: Aquilo: platform design troubles
So with nuclear are you just wasting a load of potential energy or doesn't it take a huge amount of space to place all of those heat exchangers and turbines?

Minimum Rocket Payloads Issue
I'm on Gleba, producing agricultural science packs. I have a platform bouncing between nauvis and gleba and set to import 2k agricultural packs from gleba. If it doesn't have 2k available, I don't want it to wait indefinitely for those 2k science packs. So I can use the time passed or activity condi...

Re: How do heating towers compare to boilers?
What you can do to save fuel is set up a very simple circuit condition - connect a wire (green or red) from the heating tower to the inserter that's inserting the fuel, ensure the heating tower reads it's "heat" value into that circuit network, and set up a condition on the inserter to on...

Re: Getting trains to park
I would just put the parking lot right before the drop off location, then just use chain signals to keep them in the parking lot until the stop opens. You can either do small parking lots for each drop off location or one large one that splits off into multiple drop off locations. Use the train limi...

How do heating towers compare to boilers?
I'm on Gleba and trying to figure out how to deal with power generation. Heating towers were the tech unlocked here, so I figured they were the way to go. I set up a small factory that's producing rocket fuel and started burning that in the heating towers. The problem is that they go through fuel re...

Re: Allow logistics transfers between space platforms
I would really like to have been able to make stationary platforms that act as refueling/rearming stations instead of needing every one to be completely self sufficient. Shame this isn't possible.

Is there a quick way to set up logistics chests?
I want my assemblers to output an item into a logistics chest so I can have robots deliver it to me, but I also want robots to be able to put that item back when I'm done with it. Storage chests with a filter for the item seem to be the way to do this. So I need to place the storage chest, set the f...
