Thanks Rseding91, but how are we supposed to deduce this? Is this in the tutorial? I just spent hours troubleshooting my space platforms until I stumbled upon this.

oh wow where was THAT in the tutorial

Can we add to the signals:
1) set union: something like the signal-U
2) set intersection: something like an upside-down signal-U

That way I can edit descriptions describing combinators more precisely .. just doing \/ or /\ for now

well would you look at that: 2026 and we're still requesting it

Doesn't the selector combinator feature a global timer, one that's the same across all selector combinators? You can just take the modulus of that by the number of ticks you want to count, and anytime it hits 0, that number of ticks has elapsed.


Ah, I guess that works. Definitely more reliable ...

TL;DR. Just like trains can be part of a group schedule, do the same for space platforms.

What? If you have multiple trains loading/unloading a similar resource, they can be part of the same group to have the same schedule. When you change the schedule, all of the trains adopt the new one if they ...

TL;DR: Add custom time variable to Selector Combinator's "Time" mode of operation and let us define a constant for the number of ticks it represents.

Thanks for the report. Interrupts are only checked when a platform wants to change stations. However, shattered planet connection is special - it uses "fly conditions" which are checked every tick, so you don't need interrupts for this goal.


maybe moving interrupts can be a feature that is ...

+1

Cargo wagons have 6 inputs per side, would be nice if inserter had 6 filter slots to automate 6 unique inputs, one for each cargo wagon input

+1 to this. Any circuit or array would need to sort out a constantly changing value (Freshness) in a way that selects for a desirable value or range, which is (I think) impossible if the value itself isn't known. Was this ever fixed in 2025 update? I guess the game would rather us set up some sort ...

Idling seems to consume 3kW, thus for a normal quality bot: maximum operational time = 1.5MJ / 3 kW = 8min 20s.


Oh yeah thanks for that. C_min = I_min = idling consumption. C = C_min + stuff (including C_move = "Moving consumption" = 15.0 kW + 65.25 kW = 75.25 kW). I guess on Aquilo, I_min ...

Think of it this way. Roboport with one construction bot in it -> create a ghost -> immediately delete the ghost -> construction bot immediately leaves and reenters roboport. THAT is the minimum operational time.


That is an interesting way of thinking about it, where minimum time would be ...

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?

If minimum time is before it *can* recharge, maximum time is before it *must* recharge. I already said previously ...

I know the brain is a muscle. I do exercise it, but I also have a (few) nonverbal learning disabilities. Below average focus and memory are two of them (ironically). It's like trying to exercise a broken arm/leg (or, more accurately, something that's growth was stunted at a young age and will ...

Not a bug.

General rule about logistic sections is that if they are named then they are not part of parametrization because they will get their content overriden immediately after placement to match other sections with the same name.


Thanks for explaining this. You say parameters would get ...

Not a bug, see 125477 Signals in constant combinator with description not parametrizable .
Named logistic groups are excluded from parametrization, because they could apply their values only the first time you use such blueprint in a map (when no such named group exists yet). In subsequent uses ...

Good Morning!

Love this game. Requesting a bit of assistance from anyone around :).

On a requester chest, I was making sections as "I_n Q_m" where n = input number and m = quality. I3Q2, for example, is a section of 3 parameters, parameters 1, 2, and 3, that are set to uncommon quality and ...

Greetings!

Got two blueprints to share: train station loading and unloading that are hopefully smart, but please let me know if any issues!

For a construction bot on Nauvis (I've yet to go to another planet... I'm being too cautious) I see Speed: 13 + 9.7 km/h and Maximum flying reach: 1095 m. Fortunately, it's easy to convert m to km and back (multiply/divide by 1000). The speed is 22.7 km/h or 22699.98 m/h. That's (gets out ...
