The logistics system takes care of this. Have a couple of storage chests. Then you can drop excess into the trash slots. And when you need it, the bots will prioritize storage over passive providers. So if you need a locomotive at some point, you will get the one in storage first.
Vanilla also has ...

Hey guys,

i just stumbled over a dropped locomotive from earlier in the game. Looking at my inventory i have a single underground belt entrance (or exit). This feels like running around with one sock ....

How do you hunt down such dropped or missing items ? Do you leave them ? Shoot them ? Anybody ...

And i hoped for more and complex recipes, instead the plan seems to be streamlining and simplification.

I better read the features before updating from now on. It might come out that 0.16 is the peak in terms of game experience ... or ?

I like the construction and planning part of the game, especially railworlds. There are more than enough shooting games out there for those who like it hard
Also, the settings allow for pretty thrilling setups where you're overrun before you can launch your first rocket. So, as far as i am concerned ...

Same problem after updating from 0.15.40, and with a new 0.16 install.

Thanks for the christmas present 0.16 !

If you go on vacancies between the years, have nice ones

Thoroughly designing the consumption is probably the solution.

The standard balancers don't solve the situation if one lanes jams because nobody has interest in the stuff on it and the other just rushes through ...

Thanks, guys !

Yes, problem is too hard a word :-)

It becomes visible when the belt is fed by a 2-car train that is unevenly unloaded then. More of a cosmetic "problem".

A T-balancer only switches sides, if you mean 1 or two splitters and joining again ? It keeps one lane from running empty afaik but doesn't ...

Hello,

has anyone a quick link to a solution to balance different belt lane speeds ?

Cheers

Edit: i mean the two lanes of a single belt. Thinking harder about this i realise that this probably a stupid question as the answer is "redesign the consumption" ...

I am sure you were understood.

So 1 boiler for 2 steam engines is the new ratio ?

Amazing news !

You started the hypetrain. If something goes wrong now they'll walk up on you with pitchforks in their hands :-)

You said you made blue science less complex. I personally never found it too complex, mainly a logistical problem to get the 4 ingredients to the same place at the same ...

You're not strictly catholic apparently

Thanks for keeping us informed !

Looking forward to the changes on .15. I'd rather wait a bit longer and enjoy uninterrupted play.

Factorio is one nice waste of time. Even the cat is fascinated by all the movement on the screen

Hello,

first: very nice game !
Two questions: In a video I heard the alarm sound when an attack occurred or a turret is engaged. I tried the settings but the sound does not play. Other sounds do. Is that a mod ?
And is there a mod or setting that assemblers and refineries fill their storage ...

Nice game, really. Has the complexity i always missed in games where you have to build something. But i am just a few hours into it, at the beginning of the learning curve.

I was lured here by a recommendation from players over in another game forum (Kerbal Space Program) ...

cheers
