In terms of leaking RNG state, what about recycling repair packs instead? This can leak 2 bits per recycle, right?

...these things don’t matter at scale...


I don't agree.
There is a thing called "productivity", and another thing called "circuit-controlled recipe". When these two things come together, inaccuracies matter.
Because productivity bar can also stuck at 99% when it should give a bonus craft.

I want to add: fluid ports on machines shouldn't apply their filters to the entire pipeline.
A fluid port applying it's filter to the entire pipeline is analogous to a filtered inserter taking items from a belt applying it's filter to the entire belt lane, completely invalidating any dynamic fluid ...

However, it doesn't explain why the power spikes are not matching the turret's attack,


I just discovered this power spike issue. Here is how it spikes:

Every machine that consumes power has an internal buffer for it, and can only consume power from it's internal buffer, not from the power ...

The "dynamic setup with filtered input-output ports" was the exact bug that needed fixing. Passing lubricant through a water-filtered boiler but not having it show up in the GUI made absolutely zero sense.

You can use a pump to restore the EM plant's ability to "suck" fluids.


Are you sure the ...

Any mod to revert this change?


As an alternative to a mod you can use /c game.player.insert("infinity-chest") and configure it to void items.

Are you sure you wanted to quote my post, not those complaining about hazard concrete recycling recipe?
As far as I know, an infinity chest voiding ...

Attaching an entity with an filtered input-output port to a pipeline will lock the whole pipeline to that filter.

I hate this change. In my opinion, it caused too much collateral damage just to fix a minor issue.
One collateral damage it caused is that it's no longer possible to use dynamic ...

This is a historical problem. To understand it, you first need to know how things used to be in Factorio 1.1
In Factorio 1.1 :

Regular cannon shell only deals 200 physical and 100 explosion damage, and only has 300 piercing power.
Uranium cannon shell only deals 400 physical and 200 explosion ...

Notably, fluid mixing only occurs on bidirectional connections; you can still create smoothie pipes by connecting pumps or unidirectional machine outputs with different fluids in them, and the game will not get in your way.

What about setups that use bidirectional connections as unidirectional ...

You can equip many shields for even greater protection. You can easily fit four shields for 4 * 150 = 600hp of shield, alongside a fission reactor, batteries, and roboports. A spidertron has an even bigger equipment grid.

And it's not about how long your tank can last before it runs out of HP ...

Why? Because they don't benefit from damage resistances when put on tank or spidertron. (But they do when put on armor.)
This is probably not obvious, but there is a way to make it obvious, using map editor.
Put a flamethrower turret that belongs to enemy, then put a tank in it's range that belongs ...

Of course I checked the wiki, and found these information on this page :

Exoskeletons can also be installed into the tank's equipment grid to increase its top speed as though the tank was the player.


Increasing the tank's speed with exoskeletons does not affect the tank's acceleration or ...
