Not that it helps to see it But i suppose what you need is to make the iron gears switch to the left lane?

From what you describe i have significantly less cargo bays and rocket silos than you do, but i get a lot more cargo pod traffic. Sounds like a bug which you should propably post in the respective forum if you're sure that nothing in your setup is causing this to happen.

The expansion requires a more iterative approach of me to play the game. I am still on my first playthrough and discovered very early that i had to change my early game tactics. On 1.0 i would from the start design my factories with late-game in mind as far as it was feasible. That is as in: i would...

I have made a little blueprint to partially alleviate this problem from the planetary side of things. This is a small array of combinators that accepts your item requests and outputs the requests in terms of full cargo pods, which is supposed to be hooked up to your cargo landing pad. The combinato...

Is Space Age planned to release on Switch? Maybe with computational limits it’s not possible, but I just feel like asking. :D Factorio Space Age is not coming to Nintendo Switch. Space Age factories are much bigger compared to vanilla, as they span 5 planets. There's simply not enough RAM to fit th...

Yeah, you gotta visit in person at least once. Technically it suffices to drop down and set up both power supply and robot network - after that you can leave again, depending on your level of having automated things.

I've also encountered some weird stuff regarding pipes when first messing with electromagnetic plants that is similar to what is posted here. At the time i also considered it a bug but didn't report it because it never happened to me again. But i certainly do remember that oil appeared in one of the...

For example: i have a biolab array which consists of normal quality biolabs inserted with 4x normal quality productivity modules level 3. The tooltip provides a research speed of 2.8 (+40%), productivity of +40%, and science pack drain of 50%. A normal lab at speed 1 will consume one science pack p...

After lots of struggling with Gleba for the longest time, i came to realise that tesla turrets are extremely effective in slowing down the pentapods and turn them into target practice for other turrets. I have a small Gleba base and a respective fruit harvest site each a couple hundred tiles away fr...

Hello fellow engineers, I am wondering about the biolab consumption rate of science packs with the goal of being able to calculate that i need to produce X science per minute to statisfy Y biolabs in whatever configuration they are in. For example: i have a biolab array which consists of normal qual...

You can easily check if you have Space Age :space-age: enabled by looking at the load or save game GUI. Just look at your savegame and check out the mods list. If it contains "space-age [version]" it means the Space Age DLC is enabled on your save. In order to visit planets other than Nauv...

Would you please elaborate: what is your question exactly?

Wouldn't foundries also be more UPS friendly than the machines they replace? (assuming that you would multiple machines to replace just one foundry for the same output)

They do go in rockets though Or were you referring to them being allowed in the player inventory when traveling to a space station?

Hi All I want to produce 45 science per second (a blue belt). How many space platforms will I need for this? It seems that however big I make a platform I will be limited by the number of asteroids that happen to float by. Also is there a limit for the max rate that supplies can be sent from a plat...

As long as your fluid network is not bottlenecked by pumps, the throughput is unlimited with the new system.

You can literally transport around liquid iron & copper using trains to where it's needed - it's absolutely fantastic!

I don't see any in-game options to toggle those icons so it propably comes down to "there's a mod for that".

Expected resources is the output (in fluid per second) of a normal pumpjack with no bonuses at all. You will have to multiply all your bonuses to that in an arithmetic combinator if you want it to match what you have. In your case the calculation is: 459 (pumpjack signal) * (1 + 100/100 speed) * (1...
