One way you could do this is to tie the stored credentials to the server, the password and the authorized user, so the server can see a hash code and verify that it's the hash code it would have given that specific user without giving away any secrets. The server can have its own secret id along wit...

If you disable the inserter before it actually picks something up, it doesn't pick anything up. From belts, it has to chase a moving item, that takes some time. This is a pretty brute force 7-tick pulse generator, toggle the constant combinator, sometimes the inserter manages to chase its target dow...

Please restore the function serializing on save. I use a global table to tie e.g. selection and timer events to the right response. I can't find any sane way to handle this, closest I can get is a separate ~on-reload~ table holding dumped functions, but I can't restore the gutted global table on lo...

Running average here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=57857&p=344103&hilit=+running+average+#p344103 Just a note, ((n-1)/n)^n converges on 1/e, so the interval you set in that is responsible for about 63% of the result, prior history accounts for ~37%. So it's a "mostly the last n ...

Do you mean you want to see how fast you're catching up when you first connect? If your rig can run a map at 62UPS running flat-out and the server's doing the usual 60 it might take a long time to catch up to a really big map, iirc the client shows the catch-up speed (the made-up 62 here) until it's...

Here's the basic idea: snap@T1247247=896x976-44.25-5,z2.jpg 0eNrNWF2zojgQ/S953IJbJKCoNbO/Yt+2pqgoraYGEioJ7rq3/O+bgB+Iyb3AOM68aAWS0+k+h5OGd7Quaqgk4xqt3hHbCK7Q6u93pNiO08Je08cK0AoxDSUKEKelHUnKCnQKEOM5/ItW+BR8vkSsRSWk7iwjp28BAq6ZZtCGbQbHjNflGqTBva5W2oTc7XXYRA5QJZRZJbgNZ5DCJEBH87c42Z30UMhYlLkLJb6iWBAeKi0...

Is there perhaps a way to force the train to look past the station to see if the next bay is free before it can depart to the station? You can put signals in to get that effect: snap@T695028=3664x992+116-82,z2.jpg The two new signals are wired to their downstream chain signals, and they're set to c...

Going with your 10x, if you only need 10% of theoretical max throughput two-way track is good engineering. Three wagons is 6K ore, three of those trains a minute is enough to keep up with that outpost, the one-track spur's fine, that leaves ten seconds for a train to get in and another ten to get ou...

`game.player` is only defined in console-invoked commands, see its docs. You want `game.players[event.player_index]` in event handlers.

edit: aaaannnd I didn't notice the "on_tick" there, as others point out later ticks aren't player-specific. Sorry for adding yet more blindspotting to the thread.

Getting what you're showing there is not easy. Trains will repath when they see (i.e. when their braking point reaches) a red signal, so when the incoming train saw the signal it's stopped at, it repathed. And took that path anyway. Only way I can see that happening is if it was moving slow enough t...

I just did a quick check on a 200+MB save, a .tar.xz wound up only 25% smaller than the .zip. A desync report is basically just two saves and some notes, right? Doesn't look like the astoundingly-slow compression will save enough to get many reports across any particular feasibility barrier. xz prod...

Your undo stack is things you could telll construction bots to do. If they can construct it, they can deconstruct it and (usually, but I think they won't plant trees) vice versa, but they can't un-shoot or un-shred or un-smelt things for you.

It does not seem possible to create a new, empty, blueprint any longer, so only those legacy empty ones might remain. Blueprints used to automatically take an inventory slot for themselves. now only completed ones do it automatically. But you can drop an empty one in your inventory if you want (I d...

I filled out the internal reason instead of the external one. In your case i did not approve it because you continued a discussion that ended 4 years ago.

So it really was a cryptic reason, then?

From reddit: The trick is just read-hold downstream of everything < 5 on a sideloading corner.

Yeah. The worm revamp turned them into the customers and you the bear in a shooting gallery where the guns drown you in acid-feces contact cement. Getting to shoot back doesn't make that fun for me. There is nothing on this or any earth less entertaining to use than standoff weaponry.

Run your splitters the other way, splitters used for merging can only fill holes, the way I think of them is they're moving the holes away from the drain.

I run one wire through the three tanks and the two pumps feeding the crackers, crack heavy when heavy > light, crack light when light > gas.

It's basically never bad to stockpile rocket fuel and P3/S3 modules.

This forum is the place to make such arguments. Anybody can check whether what I said is true. If I'm wrong, show the counterexample. Making wild, unfounded claims and then putting the effort to prove you wrong on the other person is not how you make an argument. It's absurd. By that logic, "there ...
