Are you using the selector combinator? One of its modes is to take a random signal from its incoming signals. You can set how often you want it to switch signals.

Another good option is to ship fish. Even though one fish only yields 20 nutrients, a fish also has a spoil time of just over two hours, vs. 30 minutes for a biter egg. Then you can save the biter eggs for overgrowth soil instead.

Fish are nutrient negative. On average, 100 nutrients gives you ...

ChatGPT translation from the original Czech:

Good day,

I would like you to add transport airplanes to Factorio, and also bombers that can drop grenades. On Fulgora, transporting things by car and roboports can’t reach from island to island. And those bombers too, because the monsters already ...

In terraria there are secret seeds that really change how the game is played. It would be cool if that came to Factorio. Maybe some start you off on different planets or even in space. One could make every type of enemy spawn on all planets. Maybe it changes the tech tree around or completely ...

How do you know this is a bug?

Maybe it's just a fun way to steal an enemy's train.

Maybe you could show us pictures of what you're using right now? Then we might be able to suggest concrete improvements.

I don't support Spotify anymore.

Ah, well, it only makes sense that if you don't support Spotify, then no one should have access to the Factorio soundtrack on Spotify.

Both of these mods have cruise control.

This is not exactly the same thing as a speed limit; they'll try to keep a constant speed rather than a maximum top speed.

But they ...

OK, I think I get it now:


Each shuttle possesses 1 iron stick.
Nauvis has a permanent cargo hub request for 3 iron sticks. The entire logistics network contains only 3 iron sticks (at most).
When 14K of science has been consumed, 1 iron stick is destroyed on Nauvis.
One shuttle drops its iron ...

If all three shuttles are idling over Nauvis, and one stick is destroyed, how do they know whose stick it was and therefore which shuttle should depart?

I assume the shuttles are identical, but how do you keep all three shuttles from leaving at once when only one stick is destroyed?

I don't like that the correct solution is to overproduce and void extras


If you don't like this , it's very much possible to avoid doing this, there are couple threads here and there that explain how to make an on-demand factory on Gleba.


Here's one of them:

Maybe i'm not getting, but can't you wire a pumpjack to read the whole patch "expected ressources" ? , write that number in a constant combinator when you create the oil outpost, and then compare it with the one that deplete over time, and use a speaker or a display pannel to tell you when the ...

There is no built-in way to tell how depleted an oil (or other fluid) well is. I try to remember to tag oil-fields with their initial output rate before building on them, but I shouldn't have to do that. The UI should show somewhere, somehow not only the current rate but also either the initial ...

...some even consider mentally challenging video games as stimulating for brain development and capacities, in which case it would not be wasted time at all. sure I have not really learned how to run a nuclear reactor, or anything realistic about fluids usable in my house, but at least it was a ...

Why? That's easy:

So you can use a rare blueprint book to hold your rare blueprints.

And a legendary blueprint book to hold your legendary blueprints, and so forth.

Vanilla 2.0 is a downgrade compared to 1.1


That seem to be missing the point of the original thread to me, which is all about space age, beside being unsubstanciated imo.

Performance is even better, there are a whole lot more QoL regarding blueprints trains and mapview.


Yeah, honestly ...

Can you point to ANY real world example, where low power/voltage for digital controls caused issues?

Why don't you google it? There are so many examples, that it is actually considered common knowledge. If you give 380V instead of 220V, you would see almost instant smoke and fire effects. If ...
