Yah I used something similar for a long time. It's perfectly viable and kind of the standard way to smelt early steel. But I was aiming for something where I don't have to have 2 coal lines. As well as my personal preference to have a single line of smelters. It looks cleaner to me that way imo. And...

Here is a clean Steel smelting setup. Not original, I'm sure. But, I haven't seen something like this. I like to start new games all the time. So, I'm consistently looking for early/mid game setups. I know using filter inserters is expensive. I used to use a similar setup with underground belt windi...

uhm wow i am so sorry. I apparently was on the wrong tab when i hit reply ....

You might be able to get rid of them in the bot frame construction by liberal use of underground pipes. See below. I've used this in the past. I may delve into it and see if i can adapt one of my old setups to my new desires. 4-4.jpg Alternatively, you could do inserter->blank space->inserter, but,...

So, I've adapted a new strategy for setting up assembly lines. I am not a fan of long inserters and have been trying to completely eliminate them from all of my gameplay, in an effective way that doesn't screw me over, for a long time. I have come almost to the precipice of doing that using this lay...

just a thought - if you were trying to do 3 or 7 even split, you could probably spin the "oddball" line back around to resupply. OP - this is the problem people tend to run into. An Even number of belts is typically easy for most new players to get under their belt. The "odd number&q...

OK after some tinkering I'm a bit confused ... I see how you displayed the percentage and it makes sense and I can replicate it. What I can't figure out is how you calculated the percent without additional combinators. The only way I can come up with is to use another combinator - First you take the...

This is so much more accurate than mine
I may have to steal some of these ideas and implement them into my setup.
Good Job and thanks!

Blue tends to be a hard one the first time around. This is really excellent for a new player! Few notes - If your OCD (like the majority of Factorio players) you can get rid of the tangle of belts in the middle by simply moving the bottom 2 red circuit machines to the top. That will save you a few u...

So I finally got sick of trying to figure out which fluid is causing problems with production. So I setup a light indicator that can be seen from far away to let me know what I need to do to fix the problem. Each fluid is read from all tanks and turned into a percentage based on how much is missing....

I have been seeing all kinds of incarnations of the "priority Splitter" based on Arumba/Steejo's setup. All of them have kinks and flaws. Some of them have problems unless you have maximum throughput on the belt at all times. Other ones have leaks that allow cargo to get through even if th...

Full safety RR crossing using circuit networking. Closes gates on train approach. If you beat the gate it will stop the train. the gate closing signals are well before the gates themselves. You are not likely to get past the gate with a train in the danger zone. . But just in case you do there are ...

My late game green cell with no long handed inserters :) //nice design here Not sure if you could have used big poles instead of staions and add few more beacons instead. I'm sure with a little finagling I could squeeze in a few more beacons. It's not fully optimized. But if I add more beacons I wi...

I know the topic subject is vague. But I have no clue why it's crashing I am not doing anything I haven't done a million times. Just using blueprints to run train rail/solar setup. This has happened now 3 times in a row within 5 mins of loading my save. Just for clarity, I am not using FARL to run t...

Why mixing ore? I feed all of my smelting lines via logistics using the warehousing mod. So, i can just mix ores on a belt and feed them into storage that way. I've tried mining directly into storage but I don't like it. You end up with way to many chests meaning your robots are spread thinner then...

My late game green cell with no long handed inserters

There must be a way (mod) to determine the position of the player standing idle on the track via a pressure sensitive tile that stops the train just in case... If you are standing on the track close enough to a gate wired into the network then your signal should turn red and the train should not ru...

Full safety RR crossing using circuit networking. Gates and signals are networked to their respective sides of the tracks. Closes gates on train approach.

Thanks for the great mod.

Yes please!! I absolutely love this mod. It only makes sense to be in the game. I can't survive without it

It's a known problem that is being worked on. As a workaround you can download them directly from https://mods.factorio.com and put them in the mods folder manually. Known issue? Occasionally, mods.factorio.com goes down too. I get the same error as well, which makes me assume that the portal is ge...
