Right then, time for another question.
I am building my second factory in an area with 7 oil spots, but it is nowhere near any water. The question is:
Do I need to put small pumps on my water pipes, or will it make the distance on its own.
Thanks guys!

Okay, I've now stopped blue science production (don't need to research anything for a while, anyway) and have got efficiency modules on the go.
I've put as many as I can on all my drills and oil pumps (didn't realise they gave of 9 pollution EACH), and it's massively dropped.
Thanks for your help ...

I had 15 boilers, each producing 6 pollution. Now I have removed all my boilers. Since then I have added about 5 electronic drills. Surely my pollution should noticeably decrease at some point. Could it be that the continuous operation of my train is kicking up too much pollution?

It's been 3 or 4 in-game days since I switched to pure solar, and my pollution area has not decreased AT ALL. Is something wrong or is it just extremely slow. In my central area I have furnaces, a few drills and some assembly machines. In my other areas I have oil being pumped, refined and used in ...

Right, so because I am producing less pollution due to not using ANY boilers, my "pollution cloud" should VERY SLOWLY shrink?

Hello again, Factorio community!
I have another basic question, if you wouldn't mind answering it. First, a story ;)
I was having some problems with biters, mainly the big blue b-tards, so I decided to completely switch from solid fuel-powered steam engines to solar panels and accumulators.
My ...

I tried filtering, but it seems like it only works on one's personal inventory.
I have relented and now have rearranged some things so that only iron is getting put into the 1st carriage, while solid fuel is getting put into its own carriage.
Thanks, though!

Hi guys, I am new to the forums, but have put about 20 hours into the game.
I am currently using a train to move stuff around my factory. In the first cargo carriage I have iron plates and solid fuel. The problem is that I am getting too much fuel in this carriage and not enough iron plates. So, my ...
