TL;DR

Let us connect a circuit to either a Fusion Reactor or a Plasma Generator so we can turn it on and off via the circuit network.

What

Currently there isn't an option to connect a circuit to either a Fusion Reactor or a Plasma Generator. This suggestion would allow us to connect to at ...

TL;DR

When a space platform has a logistic request that's being fulfilled from a planet, provide a way to read the quantity in flight in a script.

WHAT

Somewhere in the inner workings of the game, it already knows the number in flight, since this is seen in the tooltip when you hover over a ...

Please let the team know that this is a very welcome addition. Thank you all for doing this.

It turns out waterfill has nothing to do with the problem. It's actually the same issue as this one:

because the items making it impossible to place soil are decoratives. I wrote a small mod that used the

Does the second of the two issues you outlined include what I'm finding with an Agricultural Tower in a Jellynut biome.

What I'm experiencing is that I place the Ag Tower so that all the surrounding squares are either yellow or green.

The expectation is that any square that's yellow should be ...

TL;DR:

Improve on the current algorithm that currently only automatically launches a full load of a single entity type.

Why:

Building rockets is a painful process. More often than not, a rocket design doesn't require exactly a multiple of (e.g.) 100 belts. This means that components need to be ...

If I import a blueprint saved when 1.1 was still current that contains train rails, several annoyances can happen

1. This may not be possible to fix, but it appears that 1.1 and 2.0 track grids are not aligned when using a 1.1 blueprint in 2.0. A symptom of this is that I'll put down a blueprint ...

The following blueprint demonstrates the problem:

Interesting idea. Earlier in the thread, the idea of trade / communication was suggested, but the counter-argument was given that the Biters didn't seem intelligent enough for this. That's a good point, but here's a suggestion to work around it.

Let's say there is some sort of "Hive Overmind" that ...

How do multiple conditions bind when there are several conditions with a mix of "And" and "Or" combining? Say I have the following list:

Cargo item Iron Plate > 1000
And Cargo item Copper Plate > 1000
Or Circuit Condition A = 1
And Circuit Condition B = 2

There are four possible ways that could ...

Suppose I have a LuaTrain, and its train.state == defines.train_state.wait_signal. This means that there are one or more other LuaTrains that are blocking it. Is there a way in a mod to find those LuaTrains. For my use case, finding any one of them would be sufficient, but the more general solution ...

yeah i just ended up priming the system with 1 fuel cell for each reactor.

using 6 offshore pumps (3 top right, 3 bottom right) i couldn't get it to run out of water even at full load for hours.
however some of the steam turbines ran out of steam.

As noted in my previous reply, I was able to get ...

Fluid dynamics. Every single pipe results in slightly less fluid going through the entire pipe. So even though you're producing enough to maintain the system, you're not getting it to the points in the system that need the water. Too little pipe throughput at the points that you want it is all ...

From what I've read, it takes 5 offshore pumps to keep a 480 MW Nuclear setup running at maximum capacity. This is the standard 4:24:84 setup. So I've built one of these, pastebin is here: https://pastebin.com/a6ZzigAU except something is wrong with my water supply. I actually have 6 offshore pumps ...

My apologies, I didn't make it 100% clear what I want.

Firstly, it's great to hear that wrapping text is coming in 0.15. However, in my use case, I have a label that I'm using as part of a row in a scroll-pane. In this instance, I only want it to show a single line of text so that I can strictly ...

It's been discussed elsewhere that making gui text labels wrap is not really possible with the current library in use.

Even so, is it possible to mark a label as single line, and then clip the text if it overflows. Even cutting it in the middle of a letter is OK, I just don't want it extending past ...

Part of the problem is that it's completely ambiguous which is the front and which is the back if it's a double headed train stopped on a track that permits two way traffic.

That said, a couple of heuristics that can help:

1. If the train is on a one way track, then the front is possible to ...

Thank you both for your responses, I think I have a better understanding now.

@Mr Tact, I tied putting a signal on the south side of my red one just west of the Y, and noticed several things. Firstly, I am not permitted to put the signal any further west than directly opposite the one on the north ...

I'm totally confused now.

The save attached to this post was taken a little later, the train setup is basically identical: Cyan is still northbound up its "two way", pretty much keeping out of the way, and Yellow is trying to get back to "Empty Pickup". All I've done is to add the necessary ...

In the attached save file, I'm standing right next to a train. If I instruct that train to go to the station "Empty Pickup" it reports "No Path". I'm not clear why. It should be able to select the right track at the first switch where it can make a choice, the left track at the second switch, and ...
