Re: Trying to reacrate LTN's 'pull' system

You can use the circuit and the item wildcard system. Is it a good solution? Heck no, but it is technically possible. But if you insist on it it can be done.

Re: Trying to reacrate LTN's 'pull' system

You don't need a pull system. A push system with dynamic trains is dead simple in vanilla 2.0.
Interrupts:
If cargo empty, go to station Load, wait until full
If has cargo, go to station Unload [cargo], wait until empty
Done.
Add an interrupt for refueling and going to depot if destination full or ...

Re: How to handle train loading with generic wildcard interrupts?



If you add a depot trains go to if no station is available (and they are not at a loading station) you can have a bunch of extra trains prepared and don't need to do exact adjustment every time you build a new station. If you don't see a train in the depot just put down 20 more and forget about ...

Re: They need to rename Gleba to Bartleby

Look, speedrunning is an exercise in complete mastery of a game. If you are worried that your gleba factory breaks you need to get better at gleba, not have the game made easier for you. Spoilage is entirely deterministic, theres no randomness fucking you over. If your approach to not do bacteria ...

Re: Remote restart of Gleba?

Separate solar powered electricity circuit that insertes stored fuel. Either onto the usual belt with burner inserters, or in seperate heaters that deliver steam through pipes to the usual turbines.

Re: Train - control by interuption

Filling all trains with only 1 type of resource only happens if you take the trains out of the loading stations while there is no open unloading station. If you just let them sit there its a nonissue.

Re: [2.0.23] Train menu glitching, caused by interrupts?

You could add an additional condition for the waiting interrupt "and not at station waiting area", that should fix the flickering at least.

Re: I don't like the trigger tech

But... everything behind oil, needs oil. ou can have a chest or two buffer your science flask production and if you are really going from no oil t building your infrastructure faster than your labs research then put down another 15 or so of them. It's really not a problem

Re: I don't like the trigger tech

If you are not using the stuff the trigger gives you, why do you go out of your way to get it already? Just let it rest until you are ready to engage with it?

Re: Quality Gating is flawed

I do also think locking quality levels (not just legendary) behind tech unlocks is not good. My argument centers around the fact that researching those higher levels instantly breaks all earlier builds one made that use quality intermediaries because those will now clog up with quality ingredients ...

Scrap being an everything mix is like three quarters the point of Fulgora. If your gonna seperate it out straight up making it worse and more boring.

Re: "Import from planet..." setting defaulting to the planet that the platform is currently orbiting

I think an even better way to do this would to have items that can be crafted anywhere defaulting to the current planet, while items that have crafting, or spawn (for ores and their immediate intermidiaries) places restrctions default to the planet where they can come from.

Re: My attempt at generic stations


If you're wanting trains to replace belts, you need to direct-load from them. It only really works if the same station reveives multiple products.

Pre-2.0, I would have a train with cargo wagons that I restricted the individual slots on, which would go around and pick items up to drop off. Say, a ...

Re: Foundries instead of furnaces on Nauvis?

I think fluid wagons actually have a slightly lower carry capacity for iron plates (in the form of molten iron) than normal cargo wagons. With the 50% productivity bonus on foundrires they can carry 3750 plates, while a normal cargo wagon does 4000. However this in my opinion is easily outdone by ...

It's 1 calcite to 50! ore, and once its smelted you are in pipes and can do with it as you please. And founrification increases speed and productivity massively. Flying in a bit of calcite from vulcanus (500 per rocket) in an automated transport is super cheap and gives huge result. It's also very ...
