I don't think I've ever seen a game with anything like that, and now that I've played Factorio I see why.

I can't give any specific numbers but one thing to keep in mind is that more bots comes with the cost of more roboports to keep them charged. Otherwise they have diminishing returns since they have to wait in line for a recharge near the area they're needed. Personally I would be willing to use a be...

Like 2 or 3 yellow chests near each roboport. Seems like plenty of storage.. There's requester chests for nearly all the ore feeds to get things where they need to be eventually. Also a boiler that ran out of coal, I have a requester chest to direct all the wood into it. Outside of that there's wha...

Hah good catch I missed that, it wasn't for beauty just an oversight. I used to have it wrap around to the green side and had a side-switcher there but it got messed up in the blueprint when I moved the setup and I didn't re-create it right. Besides which I think it looks better with just a straight...

It's one of the very first things you build in a factory, the first major goal of automation. So how do you build it? Do you build it sprawling or compact, small or massive? There's so many different ways to make a factory that there's practically infinite possibilities. Let's see the way you start ...

@FMTK The image is just an example of the setup, the circuits on the right are for the entire furnace and the furnace setup on the left can be repeated as many times as necessary so long as the three smart inserters are connected to the large red circuit network. It is also possible to place a line ...

Thanks for the input everyone. I hadn't considered the stack bonus size of 5, that's a good idea. I used the idea of the >4 condition for the stack size bonus vanatteveldt, but I used a buffer chest instead to make two different networks for the different checks and it still gives enough space for s...

I wanted to try out a build to make all four sciences in one layout with just the raw materials as inputs (except for petroleum gas) and this is what I came up with:

I've seen the concept of a Smart Furnace implemented in a couple places and the idea struck me as a good one, a furnace infrastructure that smelts the type of ore you need when your supplies are low. I've managed to implement a basic one for iron and copper with relatively little effort and a circui...

I'd like to propose making Ctrl+ left mouse click move any item in your current crafting queue (and it's dependencies) to the front. As it stands you have to cancel your entire queue in order to start something right away and that's one of the very few cumbersome things I've seen in Factorio. I thin...

A good mix of resources, 'very good' density, and standard medium biter settings. If you prefer a brown and green map use the map seed, delete the string, and change the terrain segmentation to very low. >>>AAAMACEAAAACAQYAAAAEAAAAY29hbAMFBAoAAABjb3BwZXItb3Jl AQUECQAAAGNydWRlLW9pbAMFBAoAAABlbmVteS1i...

Ah I didn't know about the 5 per click mode, that works out nicely. Thanks.

Is there any way to craft a certain number of items from your inventory? For example, if I wanted to craft 100 transport belts instead of all 426 can I do that in any other way besides doing the whole stack and canceling at 100?
