place down the blueprint
connect the red wire to some type of creation that tells it what to make

from 1 factory in the chain i read the recepy and if it contains a fluid then unload that specific barrel.
however if there is a diferent fluid in the pipes then barrel that fluid first


I'm kind of curious—how does this work when the amount doesn't evenly fit in barrels? Does starting to ...

so turns out barrels are the way for a make everything factory.

Basically I use these slots, 16 by 32

this is the basic factory.

how does it work?
so i only use 1 wire. wich goes to a main calculator
what i want - what i have = what i need to make (this is over ...

i couldnt find any previous post suggesting this.

but i am not great at searching for these things .

among the wait conditions an option "send signal to station"
this way we can make certain logic ourself for example:

system where you can see where the locomotives are
system where you can see ...

hey all

based on the work of https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1gbn7t1/made_my_automall_with_the_new_circuit_features_in/
i made a bot based variant of an make everything factory

Valves!!!!

when i compare fluids and belts there is 1 major diference.

in one of the Friday fact there was a mention of certain rules.
one of the rules was that there had to be an inserter between every belt and assembler.

my suggestion is to do the same for fluids with a valves (new item in game ...

i have factorio for both pc and switch.

i tought it would be fun to play with some people together.
i linked both my pc and my switch to the same factorio acount.

every time i try to join the same game it says "user with name already in game" (sorry for bad translation)
alr easy fix, i just sign ...

this solved it.
not sure how to mark it as solved,
this drove me crazy, tysm ^^

as my first mod, I thought about doing something easy.
copy a roboport, disable the inventory and double the number of recharge stations.

I got everything working except the charging_offsets.
for some reason, they all just charge at the center.

this is the code I use:

I always feels like the beacon needs consist of 2 parts.
1 you got the cabin base were you put the modules, 2 you got the transmitting area.
the cabin can be quite square as it is the service area with all the hardware. something like a server cabin maybe with a glas panel infront.
the antenna i ...

short: looking for a mod that adds a roboport but removes the inventory.

long:
i am looking for a mod that adds roboports without invntory.
i hate it when:
you request an item and a bot spawns all across the base
that you cant find where your bots are
you pick up a roboport with 700 repairpacks ...

i see.

thank you for the quick replay.

not sure if these are bugs or requests but i felt like they were missing from the game.

its about the upgrade planner mostly combined with the blueprintbook.

1: upgrade to non (aka remove)
when upgrading a blueprint book remove set item

2:floors (example : stone brick-> concrete)

3:gun turrets ...

in the last couple of updates we have seen a lot of love going towards rails and belts. and i feel like pipes have been hold back.

what moast people do is they lay down a pipe with no fluid in it. making a pipe for diferent kinds of fluid hard to distinguish(<- dificult word to sound smart but ...

i think i need help expressing my self.
i am not talking about editing the current way of powerpoles behavour.
You are. Because this:

that you can connect as a regulair power cable
but stores in blueprints like a red or green wire

current cables in game stays the same

welcome to one of my blueprints.
the idea of this blueprint is to make a modulair design with oil that does not block.

this is a freshly layed down blueprint. the idea is to ...

Try placing your blueprints with poles in it. You'll see them connect to every poles near them ( within range ) as soon they are placed by bots.

i know, i take that into acount when i am building my blueprints. space the poles the right distance so only those who should connect does connect. it ...

short version
advanced (or manual or......) power cable (like we have now but player made) that will store in a blueprint

long version:
in the current game you can not store electric cables in blueprint. this is unfortunate for those who use electric switches. as every time you place a blueprint ...

the senario seemt to work for the most part.

but is there a place where you can disable beacons

i think i have this checked as on. without my intention
