Hm good point, some of these are beyond the range. I am not sure what the red squares show then.

TL;DR

When hovering a turret, highlight enemy units in its range (as is already the case for the railgun).

What?

The railgun turret seems to have a unique feature: when you hover it, enemies in its range are highlighted with a red square:

I am seeing this as well, but not with automatic construction requests -- the flicker is for yellow ammo, spaceship platform, repair packs; these are the things the ships in Nauvis orbit are requesting from Nauvis (but all their requests are satisfied). Maybe it has something to do with the fact ...

In the galaxy of fame, usually we can drag-n-drop the map around. However, if we start the drag in the area of the map that is below the planet selection buttons, it doesn't work. This is particularly bad on mobile since there, the buttons cover around half the width of the map, so only the left ...

Ah yes, that would make a difference. :) My biggest ship flies 380-400 until the solar system edge (380 on the way out, 400 on the way in, with the usual "pull" from the closest planet) and can almost keep up with ammo production for that trip, but I have to throttle it outside the solar system.

I ...

Thanks for the reply!

Rounding 1.99999998 to a precision of 2 decimals for display would still end up with 2.0. So it seems to me that either no such rounding happens (just a simple truncation of the string), or the result here would be more like 2.3949999999 which seems surprisingly inaccurate?

I spent a lot of time tweaking the mix of target priorities in my ship because it kept getting destroyed.^^

Out of curiosity, how fast do you fly through "outer space" (outside the solar system edge)? At speed 380 my ship sill gets destroyed, but with a bunch of careful tweaking I can manage speed ...

I have filled a cryogenic plant to the brim with legendary productivity module 3, and selected the promethium science pack as the recipe. I would expect that this results in an output of 2.4/s, as confirmed by FactorioLab , but instead I get:

The filter isn't an ordered list of descending or ascending priority. It's just a filter.

Are you sure? The documentation surely makes it sound like targets will be considered in the order they are listed: "gives an explicit order". Otherwise, what difference would "target priority" even make ...

I strongly second this. I find it quite frustrating that I have to install ~3 times as many turrets on the ship as I should have to because they get constantly distracted by asteroids far away, rather than focusing on the nearby ones. Give that space it as a premium on a spaceship, this severely ...

This is a mixed-resource ship following the usual "milk car" style of factorio space ships. If one item runs out, it goes back to the source planet to fill up. So it is completely normal that there's a ton of other items being carried back to the source and then to Nauvis again. Unlike in real-world ...

I think I've also run into this with non-manual drops: I have my ship set up to request exactly 1k agricultural science (i.e. that's both the lower and upper limit). If the ship arrives at Gleba with 400 science packs in the inventory, it requests 1000 and moves 400 to the trash slots, but they don ...

FWIW this also affects other places in the UI that use this little light in the corner, e.g. the character inventory window: if I hover that light while being on a train that moves into a logistic network, it still says "not in range of a logistic network".

Ah, yes that seems similar -- I assume copy-paste and fast-replace work in similar ways (though they're not the same, I can copy-paste between long-handed and other inserters but unfortunately I cannot fast-replace).

To reproduce:
- place a stack or bulk inserter
- check "override stack size" and set it to the maximal value
- replace the stack/bulk inserter by a fast inserter

Result: The inserter does not actually pick up 4 items, so this seems to be just a UI glitch.

If I could both "read contents" and "set request" on a landing pad, I could compute what part of the contents are trash and unload them. But unfortunately I have to pick between the two modes. Other entities support both reading from and feeding into the circuit network, e.g. for assemblers I can do ...

You could use a little circuit contraption to read the number of items in the logistics network, and only request more from space when you are running out of local supplies.
Hm, I guess that could work... though I feel like it really should not be needed.

EDIT: One problem though, since the ...

TL;DR

Construction bots should only pick up an item from a landing pad when it is not available anywhere else in the network. Today, without this, deconstructed buildings that are shipped in via spaceships slowly accumulate on the planet.

Why?


Logistic bots follow a clear priority when it ...

Strangely I cannot reproduce this any more, even though I am fairly sure I have seen this multiple times... but when I try it now, with the latest version, the times do line up.

So, I guess this is fixed, or maybe I just screwed up my measurements. Sorry for the noise.

I have a ship that does the trip from Nauvis to Gleba in around 40s. Given the documented distance of 15000 km, that is around 375 km/s. However, my ship never reaches speeds above 300, the average speed is around 250. Somehow it seems like the distance shown in the wiki and space map does not match ...
