Back in 0.13 I had this island base that I'd expanded onto the mainland and I had been working to severely increase bot production, and I think I had about 13k bots or something like that in my main base, along with several mini bases with about 1k-4k each for ore depot things (bots are a godsend ...

i wish you used my 238U belt management. unless you like the bots going in circles triangles. :P

I was only using the bots because it was a one time loop.
If I had this in a full factory, that belt would just carry on down the line and probably get put into some train that redelivers it to some ...

Here's a new video where I'm essentially just rambling. https://youtu.be/Tl_U7aBM89Q

I couldn't really get anywhere with it. Maybe someone else will come along.

i tried to make a modular system with your setup, where the excess would go into the next machine.

I think the problem there is that what you need is essentially a closed loop of 40 U-235 for each machine. Once your machine fills the second with its 40, it'll just continue putting more into that ...

Thanks! I didn't realize it was so fast, but I did rush a little at the end. I'll post another video tonight checking out your version, see if I can scale it.

(I completely forgot I could just post a blueprint string, lmao.)

Here's a link to a video I just posted about Uranium and the Kovarex processing recipe and how to create infinite U-235!

I'd really appreciate this functionality. It'd make naming stations much simpler

I'd like to jump in on this one. I really like the idea and I had an idea about another topic I was in awhile ago.

The Filtered Deconstruction mod comes to mind with this one, except instead of DEconstruction, a train will do repairs and replacements, but only on specific items.
For example, there ...

I've had the same issue with a mixed copper/coal depot. the best you can do is to filter the chests: first, load into passive chests, then use green inserters to load into blue chests requesting the correct type of ore. You'll need about 100 robots to do it efficiently.

Not at all. My current solar/accumulator setup can do about 600MW, and I can easily double that with the resources I have.

I would say, make deconstructions always use your personal roboport, then, when holding shift, it would use only the network's robots, not your own. This could be the same for blueprints. Maybe another modifier would need to be used (ctrl) so that ghosts could still be built and build from the ...

Again, it was just a suggestion. The evolution factor thing was kind of a limit thing in my mind? (I think My equation was the wrong kind anyway, it should be *(1 + Evo_Fac) ) Like, you can't research FASTER than a certain point in the early game. It would be highly OP for constant red research to ...

I really like this idea, and I have a suggestion for how the power aspect would work:

First, the bounds:
Base_power = 300kW //or whatever the number is, I've been working with too many machines....
Max_power_needed = Base_power*(1 - Evolution_factor)^( (some varying number) )
//The power ...

My reasoning is twofold:
• RL - Technology tends to become smaller, and therefore easier to use
• Who gets Power Armor BEFORE robots? It's later in terms of technology AND resources! (I guess it's a playstyle thing :T)


To the Robot Control Unit:

That actually makes a lot more sense, and it ...

I JUST HAD A REALLY GREAT IDEA

Maybe an idea for Factorio 2.0 (it will take A LOT of work to get the system prepared)

Instead of some online market, there could be a way for the worlds of Factorio to interact through satellites!
There can be a new set of tech that allow a space station and ...

What are floating windows?
Panes of glass that float in the air?
Window frames disconnected from a building?
Or UI windows?

Explain yourself.

I think this could also be a balancing issue with a heading of Train Prioritization.

There could be a way to prioritize which trains leave first (maybe using the coloring thing? or some other method).
Reasons it would be useful:
• Base is under attack, but you're on the opposite end
• Set your ...

+1 / Like!!!!!

I think all there needs to be is a hover button:
You press h, for example, and instead of moving with the belts, your character walks with them . Similar to how a jetpack works in modded Minecraft, rather than having to keep tapping the movement keys, you can just hit one button (which toggles on ...

The clutter IS the aesthetic
