Re: Loading certain amount of items to vehicles?
Whoa, that's a brilliant idea! No need for any circuits, just two inserters, one putting in the fuel and a smart one taking it out. Fast, compact, allows carrying items in the trunk, that's exactly what I was looking for!

Re: wow that train nerf. (stack size changes)
It's not really an issue with the new stack sizes, though, cargo wagons have always had laughably low capacity. I suppose it's the developer's attempt to make players always use multiple wagons, even if they don't want to move tons of items... which is a shame, since that's trains should be about.

Re: 2^x vs y*10^x
Personally, I think it's a change for the better. A lot of the outcry may be simply because people have to get used to a new system, but that will die out soon. The rest is caused by less space in storage chests and cargo wagons, which can be fixed simply by increasing the number of inventory slots ...

Re: Loading certain amount of items to vehicles?
I just tested and ssilk is right - you can only unload the cargo from cars, but not the fuel. It's great for carrying stuff in the car, but not so much for automatic gas stations... I also checked the wiki and it seems Lua can't access the cargo in cars, so it can't be modded in either. We'll have t...

Re: Add liquids to pipe connectable
What PipeConnectable should have is a read/write liquid property, where the type, amount and temperature fields would be editable. This alone would be enough to make pretty much anything possible, from train liquid carriages to water-cooled nuclear powerplants and such. It's probably too late to see...

Re: Burner Assembler?
You can try making a furnace with source_inventory_size = 2 (or however many ingredients you want to take at once) and smelting_categories set to whatever recipe category your alloy recipes are.

Re: [beta] Wagons: Electric Trains and Logicistics Carriages
Tank wagons would work with any liquid, including those added by mods, and would keep their temperature. Barrels lack this versatility - even if you add recipes just for filling and emptying barrels with the fluids added in vanilla Factorio, the crafting menu becomes rather cluttered, and mods like ...

Re: Piercing bullets are overpriced
Combat shotgun shouldn't be compared to the SMG, since it is a superior weapon to the submachine gun in pretty much every way. Instead, we should compare the SMG with the standard Shotgun. A shotgun shell fires 12 pellets doing 4 damage each, while piercing shells fire 16 pellets doing 6 damage each...

Re: Loading certain amount of items to vehicles?
Here's a system that fills a smart chest with 60 items very slowly (1 item per 2.4 seconds). When you pull your car up to the long-handed inserter, it will fill with ~64 items in a quick burst. Then when the long-handed inserter slows down you know it's time to pull away. Whoa, that's quite a cleve...

Re: So how do i get lubricant into a assembler
When you select a recipe requiring lubricant (or any other liquid, such as crude oil) in an assembler, a pair of pipe connections will appear on the side of the building. One of these connections will be an entry point, you have to connect a pipe with lubricant to it to make the recipe work. It's mu...

Loading certain amount of items to vehicles?
I'm currently trying to make "gas stations" where a pair of long-handed inserters would refill the fuel in cars. The problems is that inserters fill all the inventory spots of the car, not just the ones used for fuel. This is wasteful and impractical, since I have to check manually whether...

Custom terrain tiles bug [fixed]
I've been trying to make custom terrain tiles recently, but unfortunately I hit a problem when trying to assign them custom graphics. Things are fine as long as I use graphics from the base directory, but as soon as I change it to the the directory of my mod, some of the tile edges go invisible. Lik...
