Yeah car is good for early exploration and some cleaning of small biter bases. I find that, in those small underdevelop biter bases, acid spit are usually easier to dodge than isolated trunks or rocks... :mrgreen:
However, as time goes, there is a severe increase in (big)worms defending base and ...

Concerning the Rocket Silo redesign, i am a little bit disappointed that the outer tiles doesn't look like anything that could look like a delivery warehouse considering the huge amount of materials that needs to be delivered to this building...
Other building are to small to show that kind of ...

If i would change the way bots works, I would
- Delete all logi chest
- Make bots move items only from roboports inventory to roboports inventory (also apply to personnal roboport: must be equipped to receive item from provider roboport).
- Roboports act either as requester chest or provider chest ...

I use wood as primary fuel for the backup steam engines. You can also use it as primary fuel to generate steam for coal liquefaction!

wood arrived from car via inserters or via train and go into logistic chest then in requester chest and is put on belt. Solid fuel then fills ...

Yeah i think warehouse should be part of the core game too...

Use it in a small setup to produce steam for coal liquefaction eventually...
I personnaly store it near steam engines that start runing with an alarm when my nuclear setup become undersized. The time i react and resize my nuclear setup, most of the wood will have been burnt!

Are you sure the area you want to zoom in is in the view zone of a radar?

When you use the crafting UI, it highlight the item in your inventory if you have it. I would love to see this feature extended to character inventory <-> chest inventory transfert so when i resupply i know if i already have the item i want to take(or if the chest have the item i want to put in ...

As title said.
I use Put water pump to feed my nuclear setup with water. Willing to extend the place, i use Landfill to make a clean and regular coast line without removing actual Water Pump and there is still water flowing through the pipe!

Hi,
do you know that it is the signals that indicate which path the train can take. On a two way line, the signals needs to be at each side of the line, for each way it can take it! they also divide the line into blocks that are used bye the AI in the way that no more than one train is allowed per ...

" If you could walk on pipes in Factorio"
I hope this will not happen!

Hi,
Keep yourself to one train per outpost: wait until full, go to unload, wait until empty ?

https://www.youtube.com/user/MangledPork has a "factorio railworld" and "factorio town" 0.14 Playlist. Its not gigabase though so the railworld is quite limited compared to some other youtubers! Also the video is x3 speed which gave me headaches sometimes.
I think you should search for mega/gigabase ...

Hello,
i think its the right place for forum sugestion...
An idea came a while ago and when i see this post ( viewtopic.php?f=5&t=47217 ) i think it may worth it: Add the ingame icon in the smilies icon list of the forum ? (with item name as tooltip).

Hello,
When i started factorio, i didnt like double headed trains but i changed my mind and use them 99% of the time now. They allow to put stations inside the base but also outpost with minimal effort (usually). But Its not because you have double headed trains that you cant use loops!
For example ...

I've started a tweaked railworld in 0.15, and honestly the first setting i tweaked was to lower the oil patch size to medium ( down from big). Most of the oil patch are around 5/6 wells, however i have some that are 10+ but quite far away...

But i think that its more the original setting of the map ...

At ores looks that deposit sizes and richness rise when you go more far away from base.
From what i know, only the richness increases when going further, size doesn't grow bigger.
If i remember correctly, the first raild world preset has defaut uranium patch size set to medium?, so you will not ...

I think you need something more complex than that. As described, it never starts, since D is empty at start. If D is ever full, it loads the reactor continuously while steam is less than 500, rather than loading just one.

Make me think about using D as some sort of flag, though. Where D gets ...

o/
Maybe use the fact that when the cell is depleted, the reactor output empty cell
use 3 chests: fuel assembly -> A->B->Reactor->D
- inserter assembly->A always works
- inserter A->B work when D has more than one item (ie empty fuel cell)
- inserter B->Reactor works when low steam?
?

Having trouble with the same "Solaris" achievement. How many solar panels do I need to get it? Lets calculate.
10GJ / hour = 10 000 000 000 J / 3 600 sec = 2 777 777 J/sec = 2 777 777 W
Each solar panel produces 60kW. So
2 777 777 W / 60kW = 2 777 777 W / 60 000 W = 46
Lets double this number to ...
