There's no way to do this - well, there might be but it's far too complicated if there is - using the accumulator readouts.


It can be accomplished with a single decider. (A < T1) or (S > 0 and A < T2) -> 1 S, with the output fed back into the input. T1 is your low power threshold and T2 is ...

TL;DR
I'd like to be able to read the current power output of a generator as a percentage using the circuit network.


What?
I want to be able to do logical control based on the factory's present power usage. There's no way to do this - well, there might be but it's far too complicated if there ...

A system restart did fix the problem at least temporarily, will report back if it recurs again (this report is the first recurrence).

I am getting a "Failed to load texture" error and CTD when trying to load the game.

Attempted a full reinstall, and now I get a full-on crash when trying to load the game.

Logs are attached!

On more recent versions, I have found that spitters keep getting stuck in forests, barfing at a random tree until the end of time. This is a problem as expanding past them is risky.

Not seen this before, seems to be new behaviour, and probably not intentional?

That worked. Thanks for taking the time to help me out

Hi,

I am trying to set up a dedicated server using the Windows command line. I am following this set of instructions;

https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Multiplayer

However, it isn't working. I am not an expert with the Windows command line and I am clearly missing something. Attached here ...

Question;

I have just experienced a confusing issue where an assembler making satellites using resources imported to a requester chest then loaded using an inserter would get "jammed".

The assembler's output was not blocked, and it was missing inputs, yet the inserter was static.

Careful ...

I find the new information boxes to be visually nice, but since their introduction, I have been struggling to find the data I need.

It would be helpful (and I presume a simple change) if the information titles (status, crafting speed, products finished, pollution, health etc) were a different ...

Hi,

One of the recent changes to the rail build logic seems to have given me the ability to build rails out of my inventory at infinite range. When I am building rail ghosts in map mode, building off existing rails with shift click, taking my finger off shift seems to revert to direct placement ...

Orzelek, the answer to your question is yes, materials are constantly moving through the storage. vanatteveldt has nailed the issue with his statement. I have separated the matrix up so that belts can load at three intermediate points in the storage, hence reducing the number of inserters that ...

Much as I appreciate the gameplay advice, that is all stuff that I already know and it isn't related to the question I asked.

I don't mean to be rude but I am interested in the topic and I don't want the thread to be buried under off-topic replies. Please keep this as a thread on optimisation and ...

Great idea, and normally that's how I'd be doing it. But I want to avoid having to build over resource patches, so I need to mine areas out and store the resources. Plus, I want my production spikes to potentially be quite long.

Hi,

I'm building a megafactory to use as a sandbox, and it has a massive ore storage facility. At present, the ore storage facility is several lines of alternating steel chests and stack inserters. Belts feed the ore to be stored into the setup and the ore is then carried down the line by the ...

Hi,

I just let Factorio update from when I played yesterday - I think it went from 0.17.4 to the current release. Loaded my megabase... and found that the tech that had been in progress, Artillery Shell range 8 at around 92% complete, was reset to zero.

If that's a bug (and I can't find it as a ...

Repeatable techs that enhance radar sector scan range and scan speed would be helpful for very late game megabases where we're trying to discover new resources - especially on rail worlds. Double especially on rail worlds with lots of water.

I've noticed something a bit strange...

... It seems that when in map mode, one needs to hold <shift> in order to place a blueprint. One does not have to do this in player view; click places it.

Why the distinction?

Just tried 0.16.3. My uber factory that I am building to churn out 1 rocket per minute used to run at 22FPS. It now consistently runs at 38FPS.

Seriously, speed is nearly doubled.

Thank you devs!

Dear devs,

I was going to post about the inserters-not-fuelling-trains-with-solid-fuel bug, but found that it had already been posted and fixed for the next update. So I thought that instead, I would post a public message of thanks to all the devs for creating this wonderful software that I enjoy ...

Ah! Thanks, after waiting, it did indeed go crazy with some sort of charting before returning to normal. Took about 6 minutes.

Regards,

Spike
