That is fantastic. Would you mind sharing the blueprint?

Hi!

I wanted to ask everyone, how their endgame interplanetary logistics network looks like.
I mean, automated Promethium mining stage (I am around 80 promethium science packs produced per minute on average atm, with 2k other science per minute).

Do you have a central hub for everything? Do you ...

Can you open folder where Factorio is installed (for example right-click Factorio in Steam Libary, select Manage -> Browse Local files) and do file search for a file named circuit-connector-sprites.lua? How many files does it find?


Actually, Search found 2 files. New one in Core folder and ...

Cannot launch the game.

An error "Loading mods" on startup:
Failed to load mod "base": __base__/data.lua:5: __base__/prototypes/entity/demo-entities.lua:1224: attempt to index global 'circuit_connector_definitions' (a nil value)
As you cannot disable Base mod, the only option is to Exit.

have you thought about paying licences and rent and such?

like for each assembler you have to pay a licence fee, and for each sq area you use you have also a fee, after al you are using company property. So you get bonus for having a small base and not having many idle assemblers.

Hi!

Question 1:
Can anyone advise me, how I can limit my newly-created module to be usable only in mining drills? "Limitation" parameter of the module does not work with mining, because mining is not a recipe. I tried to to create a separate module category but I do not see a way, how to limit it ...

This actually seems like a quite cool idea until space platforms and other planets gets to be reality for vanilla or dlc Factorio in the far flung future. I had a chance to check out Surviving Mars for a few hours the other day. There it seems the limiting factor become concrete, something that can ...

I created a mod that adds a recipe that uses armor as an ingredient (for example, Power armor).
Then I use Assembly machine to craft my new item. The problem is that inserter always tries to shove at least 2 x "ingredient required in the recipe" into Assembly machine. But armor has a stack of 1 ...

HandyHands has a lowest setting of 0.2 stacks which with big stack eats up my iron too fast while crafting too many inserters. I get either 200 on lowest setting or nothing at all.
Hi Tierre,

Theoretically, you may update the list of available stack settings in HandyHands by changing control.lua ...

This looks like a great concept! Have you considered having a building that allows you to repay or at least reduce the loan before reaching space capabilities?

This might be a trading-pad where you can sell resources at a vastly discounted rate (since your bank is providing the transport to space ...

Type: Mod
Name: Trade Empire
Description: An attempt to add economic system to the game - you start with a loan that you need to repay by sending valuable items to automatic Trading stations in space. After repaying the loan you will be able to purchase useful items.

Hi Angel,

I could not load my existing game after update, because migration script cannot find technology called "water-treatment-2". I am playing withOUT Bob's and do not see such techology at all, it exists only for Bobs.
Had to comment migration scripts 0.5.0 and 0.5.1 to proceed.

Personally, I get sulfur primarily from slag-processing. You need a little bit of sulfur to get it started (e.g. from floatation), but it returns a ridiculous amount, enough to easily fill entire silos/warehouses up.
I refine my ores to the very end - no slags are produced. Also, the fact that ...

Hi!
I tried to search for the answer but could nor find it.
So, I am using vanilla+Angel's+UP+Yuoki's.
Everything is refined to final (purified) state before being sorted or smelted.

1. How much final ore (i.e. iron+copper+modded ones) is created from 1 initial Angel's ore? Considering full ...

Actually, with RSO+Angel's I also have very few oil wells, but each of them is 3-4 times larger than in vanilla. And I dont mind such setup, I hate piping oil wells.

Hi! It seems that the issue with "cleaning ceramic filter" recipe being extreemly inefficient in non-bob version stays unsolved. I've seen this being discussed in this topic back in June.

Details:
Ceramic filter can be used only 5 times (it costs 6 iron to produce) and it provides only 2 iron and ...

The main disadvantage of PHS is the specialist nature of the site required, needing both geographical height and water availability.
It takes a lot of stone to build a mountain.

In real life you just need a small hill that is used to build the upper pool with lots of concrete, and a lake with a ...

When I look at thousands and thousands of accumulators at my base, I always remember this solution:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity

Details: you should be able to build elevated pools of water using huge amount of stone (there is no good "resource" sink for stone ...
