Don't mind the title edit at all.

Not real happy with it being a stealth edit like that, though.

Start the game, make a new map, pick marathon settings. Get in, quit the map whenever, start a new map, switch to default settings. The recipe settings don't revert.

Ergo factorio does parse the address to obtain it. The RFC that actually specifies other-than-uri text forms for IPv6 addresses with ports is 5952, which notably includes the paragraph Other styles are acceptable when there is exactly one style for the given context and cross-platform portability d...

Yes. Underground belts are not inheritely cheaper anymore since like what... 0.15?

The only note I'd add is, you can still carry a lot more length with uggies, even the yellow ones.

Can someone explain again why "not painting yourself into a corner" as a strategy is bad? If you have a thundering herd of trains, you've got a lot of trains waiting to pick up demanded resources, which means the resources weren't available earlier, which means you don't have enough supplies to meet...

Here's a self-clocking version, it's a little faster. 0eNrtWV2PojAU/SuTPsMGCsqM2eyf2MfNhCBctRloSVvMmAn/fW9hVFQ6W2bc7Jr4ItKP+3HObXusb2RZNlBLxjVZvBGWC67I4tcbUWzNs9K06V0NZEGYhop4hGdV98ZXjDO98/MNKE1aD1sKeCWLsPX+OBleawlK+aoumdYgB9Np++wR4JppBn0g3csu5U21xJGL0BaCR2qhcJrgxi+a8iOP7PARd9b7sakCrRlfKzNGQiW2kDbYV...

Did I fail to communicate there, or what? I like it that the game poses puzzles. I like it a lot. The puzzles are the point, everything else is there either to motivate the puzzles or just be rewards and distractions because those are worth loving too. Subtleties in behavior that you don't even noti...

Yeah, arm extension is surprisingly slow, it's one of Factorio's remaining puzzles. Most people never even notice it at all.

haha awesome. my compactness fetish is a blinkin disease, I left one whole side of the assembler unused … for what? Did I get the math that wrong too? What's that 2240? 8/.5*1.4*60, cs8, .5s recipe, 1.4 productivity, 60 seconds, 1344 items/min? ,,, ah, the math works for a 100-sec interval, is that ...

I thought I'd see how far I could push it, I got one assembler up to over 800/minute, with a cs8 assembler theoretical peak is 8/0.5*60*1.4=1344 so max-boost expensive recipes is going to require bot-fed chests, but belts can feed your cs4.25 assemblers and then some, 4.25/.5*50*1.4 is 714.

Make a blueprint book. Put your trash blueprints in the book. Delete the book.

To pick a single highest or lowest: burst the wire out through N pairs, once for each signal you're interested in, the pairs forward that signal to itself and to signal-I. The outputs from each pair are the inputs to the above selection network, which will pick exactly one (I, resource) pair having ...

It's old, but the savings from switching is maybe 10 u-238 a minute and the speed difference is half a percent (8 vs 8.04). Retune the unload to handle variable output, for that? I just don't feel the need.

Here's my Kovarex-inception rig, designed to get you from your 40th U-235 to your 120th as fast as possible. Everything outside the beacon box that's not blue is test harness, the southbound supply belt from the uranium processing needs to continue on to green-ammo / fuel cell / storage. 0eNrlXEtv3D...

That 3930K is almost certainly running four channels, and if so its memory is nearly as fast as that Ryzen rig's two channels. Which goes a long way towards explaining why its performance is nearly as good.

You can't do anything against that except building logistic hubs

Except not getting into that jam in the first place, which is literally just building outposts you're going to need anyway.

This is just another entry in the eternal "take this challenging design puzzle I don't like solving out of the game" parade. The only argument made in favor of this change is "it makes the game easier". That's more fun for some, less fun for others. There's _lots_ of simple, fun builders out there. ...

lab-dark-2 tiles used to have about the same chart color as the main view.

Is automatic routing designed to work with no rail signals at all? No sensible signalling I can find for that setup produces a bad result. If the train starts out in the same rail segment as its destination stop, it'll go to that stop. Why spend cpu and dev time avoiding such a shruggable consequenc...
