In the blueprint the input is scaled by 60, and the smoothing factor is 100. This gives a readout of "items per second" if you connect to a belt in pulse mode. If you want items per minute, scale the input by 3600 instead of 60.

TLDR: Since the belt throughput got buffed, the inserters should get buffed to, so that one stack inserter can fill a normal belt again.

The belt throughput was 800 / min.
Which one stack inserter can manage!
The belt throughput was increased to 900 / min.
But the inserters weren't buffed as well ...

You can configure keys for pausing the game. They work in single player mode. But in multiplayer mode they don't work, despite being admin and "only admins can pause off". Is that intended?

Which version are you playing? I'm playing 0.17.21 and https://wiki.factorio.com/Physical_proj ... (research) gives you bullet, shotgun and turret damage all in one! Or is it from the py mod?

Haven't played much since 0.15, so I'll be playing vanilla for now.

Big biters with normal ammo at upgrade 1 hmmmm
Turrets will deal 6,05 dmg, but big ones have 8 flat and 10% damage reduction. That should mean 0,2278 real HP damage per shot and they have 375 HP! So you need 1645,83 shots per biter. Equalling: 164,58 Magazines or 658,3 iron plates *G

Doh, right ...

I'm at 0.42 pollution and 0.5 is big biter time...

Can't see much in the charts.
Normal is king vs small and spitters, obviously.
Piercing is better for medium worms, well shotgun should be even better. Can't see for big worms.
Against medium biter upgraded normal is better than upgraded piercing ...

For early defense the +damage upgrades work really well. The first upgrade alone doubles the damage output against medium biters with basic ammunition. (Yes, doubles. Not an exaggeration.)
Yes, because to the flat damage reduce.
I have the second damage upgrade already, which cost a whooping 800 ...

What is a good early defense setup? I'm pre military science, so it's a long way till flamethrower turrets. My setup has problems with the medium biter, spitter combo. The medium biters soak up the damage, while the spitters wreak havoc: https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-44c653-1553544249.png.html ...

So I made the last two post, then I restarted Factorio again and the stutters are gone again... (Didn't change anything in Factorio or Nvidia Share)

This time I have the data though:
The screenshots where taken after loading the same saves as before, but now no stutters. Then I saved them again ...

I'm experiencing short FPS drops every couple of seconds, when Nvidia Share is activated. This happens also in new game and tutorial maps. So it shouldn't be some performance issue. I'm not experiencing the FPS drops in other games with Nvidia Share.

Factorio and Geforce should be up to date: 0.15 ...

The accent makes it impossible to watch? Well, you understand German?

It‘s not that high maintenance, just let more run dry and ignore the power consumption, which gets turned off when the chests are full. I tried steam on that map so it matters to me there. Or use ore patches further away combined ...

REALISM!!!!!111
If you want realism take some iron plates, go to some third world country and have fun building your factory.

Is always running at 600kw/s realistic? No! But it‘s easier to calculate! So -1 realism.
Do you want trains to slow down in curves?! No! So -1 realism.
Do you want to build ...

I would like to limit the train fuel slots like the slots of the chest. I don't know how big your maps are, but I never needed a second slot. Especially with rocket fuel.

Coal at 600kw/s and 259km/h (assuming 1 tile = 1 m²) gets you more than 143km far and takes more than 30min. With rocket fuel ...

When starting on a schedule to xy trains will calculate the path to the nearest free station named xy
That should be workable.

Note: Near seems to mean least amount of signals passed.
Good to know.

Yeah something like this, sadly the stack inserter (with (full) bonus) is missing.

Good to know though, that inserters work like steam engines, depending on the cardinal direction they're facing.
