Hey all, small thing that's been bothering me a bit. Questionable if it's a bug, but it's certainly a QOL-bug Even when there are pending requests, while a rocket is constructing the space platform requests status light shows green with the tooltip "All requests fulfilled" (screenshot) Onc...

Ah, thanks for the info. Makes sense - thinking about it, trains are just the same (you don't see the current fuel only the stack)

Hi,

If you manually feed an out-of-fuel burner inserter rocket fuel, the graphic that shows up is still the coal one but the energy burn rate appears to be correct (veeeeeeeery slow)
Not much to say than that, odd little bug!

TL;DR A way of seeing the construction logistic status for ghosts What ? Since 0.17 the new status tooltip was introduced for inserters and assembly machines that shows what it is doing. For example, "Waiting for source items", "Working", and "Item ingredient shortage"...

Thanks for the suggestions! I extensively use discrete networks just now and have now dabbled in feeder chests to emulate the behaviour I described. Both work well enough for what they are. I thought I'd post this as the latter I believe the devs see discrete networks as broadly undesirable behaviou...

Yo So at the moment, logistic chests don't have a cap on the number of requests or deliveries that can be made at once. This leads to some undesirable surging behaviour if you start loading high volumes - say for example, an ore train. If you try to load an ore train from a robo-mine an entire facto...

Ohhh, you're visiting tech trees. Back in January there was a FF about bots vs belts . This significantly impacted my gameplay this year - now my 3000 science 2 rocket per minute base is back to 90% belt+train factories rather than 90% robot factories. It is visually appealing - you can see the good...

What?

Reskin the world model for Low Density Structures to one that has higher contrast with belts

Why?

They're nearly invisible on belts

Are you sure?

I wasn't doing anything actively at the time, I had just sat back in my chair to check my phone!

Here's the logs:

My save / mod combination also exhibits this problem. I didn't save and rolled back to 16.39, all good again.sd

Hope the log files are useful. I was just derping around laying belts, there was also some blueprinting/deconstructing/constructing activity going on at the same time.

Game: 0.16.36
Mods: LoaderRedux 1.2.5, op_train_speed 1.0.7

This is something that's bothered me for a while - there's no disadvantage to rail creeps. Except in the very very very early game when trains have just been researched, I've felt completely unlimited by rails. Once you have a blueprint to lay down two (or later four) lines together, even in vanilla...

Is it intended that productivity modules become relatively irrelevant in late game mining? My baseline mining bonus from research is 272% and each productivity 3 is only a further 10% additive (for a total of 302%), rather than multiplicative which would be 354% However, the pollution and speed debu...

I did some science In my save file, deconstructing the roboports applicable to the requester chests, and then rebuilding them, sometimes allows requests to resume. BUT deconstructing the chests (like in the OP) and rebuilding them in the same place does nothing After a while, they just stopped worki...

In this save, Low density parts are not being flown from buffer chests to requester chests

I've re-made both sets of requesters and buffers

Hi,

This is still (not) happening in 16.11

edit: Recreating the buffer chests fixed it, rather than the requesters

Quite simple- I'm in the process of meshing together all my previous individual logistics networks into one using the new buffer chests to avoid infinite loops. Steel however isn't being flown from a buffer (or at all?) to a requester, despite the tick. Other materials (like blue chips) are being fl...

Very simple to reproduce! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQYsSOfXxuc Take a factory 2 or factory 3 that is set to produce rocket control units . It doesn't matter if it already has modules in it. Control click speedmodules into it *poof* now your entire in-hand stack is vanished and none go into th...

Ok, fair enough. One question though,

Why aren't the 60 logistics bots in the roboport adjacent to me taking from my auto trash?

I was torn whether to post this to bug reports or balancing. It doesn't seem like a bug in the sense of it being a regression, it's just really easy to lock yourself into a really lame gameplay situation. Please move if you feel appropriate Here's the scenario: I've Red-x'd a bunch of ore chests. Th...
