I would like this to be a bug but it has always been like this.
There is a thread dedicated to it over in "Balancing"

Constant Combinator: Signal Construction robots -99999

I think that's the same reason as this: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=116415
Or this: viewtopic.php?p=634996#p634996

@op As others said watch your enemy. But even more: watch your pollution cloud (option on the map) If pollution reaches a nest evolution will raise fast. Once you have efficiency modules mass produce them and use them everywhere. Once you have electric smelting replace the old smelters. Once you get...

Possible solutions for the productivity exploit: - Productivity meter remembers the lowest quality it produced. The extra is at that low productivity. - The quality setting on recipes is used as minimum accepted ingredient. Productivity bonus produces minimum. - Dedicated "any quality" rec...

Your pump info window says "can also be placed on water for loading and unloading oil tankers"
Could the cargo ship mod be responsible?

This is were Koub's information about reverting to 1.1 came from: Should have worked.

Migration is fixed for 2.09 which has not been released yet.
Try again later

Press control alt shift and click on settings.
A new menu should appear "the rest"
Use the search in there. There should be 2 options labeled "cache"

Don't disable stations. Disabling causes all trains enroute to instantly stop and repath.
Set them to max trains zero instead.

No. If you buy from the website you don't need steam.

After that you can get yourself a free steam key later - but only if you want.

They surely have more then the initial 5000. A lot more and maybe also a special deal for automatic activation of new ones. All I am saying: If this loop hole would be actively promoted and the numbers for "Real steam sale" Vs "Activated Keys" would Tipp over valve would step in ...

Afaik Steam only takes the 30% if you actually buy it through the Steam store. If you buy directly on their homepage all the money goes to the devs. The provided Steam key will not cause them any additional costs. This trick has limits. As far as I understood: if to many use it Wube will run out of...

2.0 has the possibility to send trains which are "destination full" into an depot. Would that not be a better solution to your problem?

"The depot problem"

I guess this could be fixed for 2.0 https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-405 Faster subsequent rocket launches In the late-game, you can craft and prepare rockets pretty fast, but there was always a throughput bottleneck: The beautifully crafted animations taking a long time. We didn't really want to ...

The True full Screen suggestion came up before but I haven't found conformation for it.

Also: They have committed to a release date.
Now is not the time to look for ideas in the suggestions board.
They are probably working through their ToDo list and won't change anything else unless they notice something big.

Ideas will be revisited - later

That's overkill. That mine doesn't need input balancing and it doesn't need unlimited throughput on 8 redbelts First use splitters to reduce to 4 belts. After that place a 4 to 4 belt balancer. Splitt the output to 8 again. After that you can use yellow belts. I also suggest to set the input on the ...

Yes. My base is 60% solar and 40% nuclear. I don't have brownouts often. But when I have them it's at the end of the night and solar will pull me out of any brownout spiral. Belts still work full speed during brownouts. Inserters are slower but their pulses will still work during deep brownouts. Onl...

Once you reach "deep brown out" combinators will no longer update correctly.
So timers will slow done. Other circuits might miss inputs.

Committing just enough batteries to prevent deep brown outs can prolong battery life. Hopefully long enough until the night is over.
