I'd support a weapon coverage map view, but I won't need a lightning protection map. The range of asteroid collectors should only also be shown when hovering over a collector "ghost" including the range displaying of all collector "ghosts".


I disagree, and here's why:

re, asteroid collectors ...

Land mines seem one of the more obvious solutions to Gleba, however due to how stompers work they are completely unusable unless you go all in on nothing but land mInes. As soon as the stompers see a turret or similar they start "stomping", instantly killing anything they step on, confusingly ...

They could also go halfway to the Space Exploration (mod) route and make us *build* the landing rockets for any but the first landing pad. They could be relatively inexpensive, but note "free" like the ones dropped to the first landing pad are.

Additionally, they could add functionality to the ...

Under the AM3 there are two ways how to isolate a signal - indexed by the value, and indexed by the signalID.
To the right is similar indexing, this time the index is not static, but dynamic based on signal I (+timer to cycle its value).
To the left is isolating a subset of signals, based on ...

Here is a blueprint with assortment of circuits. Maybe some of them will be of use for you

I actually have a post about something like this elsewhere (more of a cosmetic change though...)

TL;DR
Show the influence of the selected (or in hand ghost) of anything with a "Lightning reach" range.

What?
When on Fulgora, and either hovering over or with item in the cursor, show the influence of the "range" of the "Lightning reach" for Fulgoran lightning attractors, Lightning rods, or ...

For clarity, what you want is for the various automated turrets range to "permanently" show up outside of map view? I ask because they show up when the mouse is over them. It is less useful than what you are requesting, but it is still there as a thing.

I second this, but as a toggle, not as ...

Currently productivity isn't an issue for me as I don't have it researched, and I'm mainly getting the resources that are there when they are there.
Once productivity is an issue - i.e. I have it researched or have modules inserted - I'll probably have enough resources on worlds to make the full ...

Thank you. I'll try this as it is vastly simpler than what I was doing.

I'm trying to create a simple setup for crushing any asteroid based on what is currently available. The setup - that works - is incredibly messy, IMO.

So, I must pose a question here: when *should* a bot ever "idle"?

Meaning, is there an ideal situation, for a normal Factorio player, where that player would want a bot to idle?


Should or want? Probably never, but those situations can occur naturally: For example a construction bot hovering ...

EDIT: I only just now realized that what the (original) title says is already in the game, and THAT (specifically) is what my suggestion is to disable. Reading the rest makes this obvious, but I've edited the title to reflect that.

TL;DR

This thread seems to have derailed somewhat… I'll limit myself to OP's question.


This seems a bit strange name of a metric to me. I think that this actually means "Maximum Operation Time" if it is the time it takes for the bot to operate at something at the maximum distance.

Am I ...

Not what you asked for / maybe actually what you asked for :

You could use the reprocessing receipe to scale up quality of asteroids and only turn the legendary chunks into iron or copper.

About the combinators if that was more you question, it would be nice to have a blueprint of your setup to ...

I received two notifications. One for the above post, one for yours. I think we're good on this front.
The reason for 20 tabs, is that I have posts on threads where they don't reply to me directly (or at all), but I'm still interested in what is said.


good to hear :)
sorry if this off topic ...

If minimum time is before it *can* recharge, maximum time is before it *must* recharge. I already said previously that the minimum time is 18 seconds, maximum is 20 seconds. The bot *can* recharge at 18 seconds, but it *must* recharge at 20. The two values are completely different.


Ok, now ...

I'm trying to make a minimal space platform setup. My previous game I had it setup such that each quality had its own crusher. I've realized that this is inefficient (which seems kind of obvious now).

Does anyone know of a minimal setup to tell a machine to process a recipe up to a quality of ...

As I see it, this topic and https://forums.factorio.com/113399 are connected.

This topic being the more foundational (order of filters affects the order the inserter picks items), whereas that one builds on top of this one (signal value determines the order of filters, thus the order the inserter ...

>snip for brevaty<


If I understand your post correctly then you are saying that the "minimum" is the time before it *can* recharge.
Um, isn't that effectively the maximum before it *will* recharge?

Generally speaking, bots will drop what they are doing and recharge once they hit this number ...
