Re: Bio Chambers -> Fulgoran recipes



Water consumption also isn't really a problem since you get ice as a byproduct of recycling anyway. So you will always have 5 times as much ice as you have holmium ore. The Holmium solution recipe needs 2 holmium ore and half an ice cube, leaving you with 9.5 ice = 190 water (without ...

That is a really confusing way of expressing that information.

[2.0.76] Factoriopedia entry for thruster is incorrect

The Factoriopedia entry for the thruster has a nice little interactive graph showing the thruster's thrust output, fuel consumption, and resulting efficiency at various fill levels. According to this graph, the fuel consumption goes from 10% at <= 10% fill to 200% at >= 90% fill. The listed fuel ...

Highlight specific unplantable tiles in agricultural tower overlay

TL;DR
When you're placing an agricultural tower, you get a helpful overlay that show you which 3x3 cells it will be able to plant in, and, for those it can't, whether its the wrong soil type, the wrong biome, or blocked by an object, but it doesn't tell you which tile in an unplantable cell is the ...

Make the logical operators in train & space platform schedule conditions more flexible

TL;DR
Currently, in train and space platform schedules, 'AND' groups can only be nested within 'OR' groups, not the other way around. There are many common conditions for trains and platforms which are really awkward to express in this way. Give us the ability to put 'OR' within 'AND'; maybe even ...

Buildings Should Eject Fluids When Deconstructed

TL;DR
Fluids are not lost when deconstructing pipes or tanks, and buildings with fluid inputs will eject any stored fluids if their recipe is changed or cleared, but if you deconstruct a building without clearing the recipe first (or if it has no recipe to clear, e.g. flamethrowers), any fluids ...

Re: Bio Chambers -> Fulgoran recipes

Biochambers do have some utility on Fulgora; they have twice the base speed of chemical plants, which is a valuable space-saver on the constrained islands of Fulgora, and while heavy oil is literally infinite and effectively free, the inherent productivity bonus reduces the required amount of water ...

Re: Rocket capacity is too inaccurate for some items

@klonan just said that in the next version the logistics groups multiplier will show 2 decimal places instead of 1. Don't know if that extends to rocket capacity stacks too, but here's hoping.

Re: Rocket capacity is too inaccurate for some items

+1 on showing 2 decimal places for rocket capacity. There are a lot of very common ratios which are immediately obvious at 2 decimal places but are misleading or confusing at one. For instance, which 2 decimals, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5 would be '0.33', '0.25', and '0.2'; currently both 1/3 and 1/4 show as ...

[Klonan] [2.0.76] Text box for logistics group multiplier populated using rounded value

Create a named logistics group
Create a constant combinator and add that named group, but give it a multiplier with at least 2 decimal places, e.g. '0.25'
When you confirm the group, you will see that the displayed multiplier has been rounded to one decimal place, so '0.3' for our example of 0.25 ...
