Maybe im not seeing something because i dont have the game in front of me but... Couldnt you just put a regular signal instead of the train stop with the unloaders? That would eliminate the need for any circuitry whatsoever. In theory if there was a train in front of it it would stop and the unloade...

The important part of this is that the spider was moved from backlog to 0.16 an actual release again. wahoo

I would be happy if it just had a little street sign like when there is no power or something. Maybe a different color or shape so you know what it means.

Autodeconstruction would be nice but i dont necessarily want stuff added to my inventory just from walking by.

Do reactors have to have dedicated heat pipe output lines I assume?? I'm thinking this sort of setup: Same output potential as bulding 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 Its not 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 its 2 3 3 2 2 3 3 2 Just saying ;) I haven't had the chance to get to this point yet but couldnt you offset them by half and...

Pardon my paint skills. Black is pipes Grey is underground pipes This is a rough cracking setup. This shows how the pipes on the bottom are mirrored but the chem plants wouldnt be. Since you cant reverse the left-right on the chem plants you are unable to mirror them as all your inputs and outputs g...

While this would be convenient there are some mechanics that make this not feasible currently. Things like not being able to control what side of the belt a inserter drops things on out of a station would lead to balancing issues and having to make a separate version for each direction anyway. Also ...

If this gets made it should be called "Autobot Formup" and have an icon that looks like bumblebee.

While i agree that turret creep is to easy for what it is (although i play aggressive and go through many many repair packs) i don't think nerfing that strategy is the answer. I like that they are looking at improving other weapon options. In a world where i can use belts, or trains, or bots to buil...

Robots pull from chests in a certain order. 1. Active Provider Chests 2. Storage Chests 3. Passive Provider chests So even if it is for something in a large quantity like Iron plates it would still pull from the storage first. (yellow chests where trash is emptied to) The issue here would arise if y...

If you have buffer chests to start you can get around this by regulating the production based on the logistic network levels. for example.... you are making red belts. you set a requester chest before the red belt factor that requests 100 yellow belts. This pulls them from the logistic network. it f...

There's no kill like overkill. /thumbs up

Wouldn't an easy solution just be to pull things off the train into a storage chest with a one stack limit? As far as i see there is no reason to put them in the roboports as the construction bots should take them out of the storage chest if they need them. If you are supplying by train or the inser...

Put the labs in a ring and call it Fermilab

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermilab

That is delightfully efficient. I love that refueling is built in.

I am not sure if there is a console command to do that but a quick and efficient way to do it would be to fill some crates with them then get your shotgun out and use C to destroy it.(also how i get rid of piles of wood)

You can get rid of a couple thousand per crate.

Hope that helps.

This is already in the game. 1. Put up a roboport 2. Insert construction bots 3. Put repair packs either in the roboport or in a provider chest Its that easy and they will start repairing away. Also if you put supplies like walls and turrets they will replace them if they are destroyed. good luck!
