I wanted a gear design for a belt factory and I came up with this

you say dont set the condition to iron ore = 0 cause thats never going to happen, but it works reliably when I have it set up. probably only cause im not inputting a full belt (I was actually surprised when it did work)

that miner setup looks pretty sweet and I will totally be using that from now ...

I have wires going across the chests an into the station.

based on what ive been told the issue should simply be that I dont have enough miners going to supply 3 cars.

im currently having problems with my trains. when they leave a station they are usually not even half full (3 cars).
the problem is that im not getting enough material into the buffer chests in the time the train leaves the mining station and comes back. is this simply an insufficient quantity error ...

with the recent friday facts the devs mentioned a game mode where you start with power armor and personal robo ports.
I suggest a slightly different version with the free camera mode. you start with a robo port, some construction robots, and enough solar panels to power them. along with some basic ...

I dont feel like being able to slow down faster (achieve a greater negative acceleration) is useful
im a math-y person so I would be ok with some math on how big of an effect it is

im currently stuck with my research and my only option is train braking force. I was wondering how useful it is?
it really doesnt seem useful at all but im kinda hoping im wrong

what exactly does the expensive setting change for research and recipes?

there needs to be a resource that you can obtain in small amounts without fighting biters but large amounts if you do choose to deal with them

obtaining them without fighting should be really inefficient requiring:
far more resources than just shooting nests or whatever they drop from
much much ...

alright, ill try that soon
but a constant problem I face (this has held true for over 50 maps) is I never spawn near any trees, so I have to save all the wood for power poles, and still normally dont have enough

so ive restarted maps a few times now (playing several worlds different ways) and I noticed the start is always really slow, even slower then other resource gathering games
I normally place the miner on coal and get 5 by and for it to mine, then manually grab stone and iron and smelt the iron
I then ...

You can do that with splitters.

well im doing a factory using only drones

when you have 2 things you want produced equally but only have a limited flow into they system that produces it, you would be able to have it alternating between the 2

suggestion: smart insterers are currently "when item is less then x, work" I would love to see "when item A is less then item B, work"
reasoning: so having played for a long time and having a fully drone based factory, I automated the production of passive provider and requester chests (using the ...

well then this can be disregarded, thx was exactly what I needed

so ive been playing for a few hours, and im at the point where ive built a base with almost no conveyers, just flying robots and im short on iron
ive doubled my iron mining and smelting twice (total of x4) and im still short
my suggestion is something for the logistic system that shows the ...
