That´s exactly what I was feeling when I played the first few playthroughs. I usually now set the technology multiplier to 20x (with rather rich ores because u will need a lot for research) and reduce the biter evolution a bit. Now it´s much better, especially in middle game. Early game is a bit of ...

My guess is that the inserters have a different chance to grab an item depending if they are facing south or north. Therefore you get an imbalance of the two sides of the belt causing one side to be packed full while the other is missing plates sometimes.

If only once a brick is sent to the north (other areas are full or some other reason) then bots will continue transporting bricks there. If now the demand is mainly in the south (which makes sense as the demand is then close to the supply) mainly the bricks from the south are used. Over time this ca...

The two cooldown factor are cooldown between sending out expansion groups I think.

I am not a combinator expert but I think as there is no Q input there is also no Q output. You need either Q input or set output to 1 instead of input count.

Thanks for the replys. Maybe it is the recalculation of the path while they are in the loop. The exit itself should not become blocked while the train is in the roundabout as no other train can enter the exit. Unfortunately eliminating the chain signals is not an option as the main advantage of the ...

Hello All! I've been using trains in Factorio for some time now and have had not problems yet. In a new game I designed the network with double-headed trains with 4 wagons. In the past I have either used a 1-2 or 1-4 design. For a higher throughput for my bot-base I now use six wagons. In previous g...

Basically I like the idea. But there are two problems: Firstly, I'm not sure how this can implemented in the current GUI without adding an item for every possible combination. And secondly, this may greatly increase the complexity of the game making it even less beginner friendly. So overall I would...
