I say yes for the loader, perhaps though it could be a 2x2 and actually be a chest with an inserter? I have often thought of a 2x2 chest and an inserter that can spin around to any of the 8 possible belts that surround it, which would be selected by the logistics system like smart inserters. I don't...

Anyone in Australia or New Zealand that wants to start a new game in MP, add me in Steam same name as in here.

I have not been playing this or checking in on the website for around 6 months now, Will Steam keys be handed out for people who have already purchased the game? I can't seem to find anything about it and there would be a lot of forum and news updates to go through. If someone has the info and can l...

NOW it does.

Hehe Nice! I mean not nice! Loops are evil!

I loved micro machines on my Sega as a kid, the track you made kinda resembles it. Neat!

@gandalf I'm not annoyed i just feel strongly about what I believe. This is text only so you cant really tell if I'm sad angry happy or annoyed. The claim of "no reason whatsoever" and "unrealistic" came from you and i wanted point out it was incorrect.

This thread 4/10 contains loops!

I did some math earlier, and it turns out that if you are taking from a box burner inserters use less total energy than other inserters with the added bonus of avoiding the power death spiral. The roboports still have a power death spiral problem. Also: burner inserters produce no pollution, while ...

[quote="Gandalf"]Laying tracks side by side looks way better than the (very unrealistically) spaced tracks that most people tend to do – for no prevailing reason whatsoever.[quote] I don't know why your going on about what's realistic, this is not a game based on reality, its nowhere near ...

Lot to quote here but here goes The thing of it is, I am copying real world track layout, and you are saying that my method based on real world usage doesn't work. How is that even possible? Im not talking about real world concepts here, just this game and how it functions. Real world you have train...

Thanks for all those fixes guys, especially grateful for the blueprint fix because it was slow going doing some things by hand. Great that the burner inserters now fuel themselves for the first bit, got to turn of Rsedings mod now.

Im going to back all this up with a pic, you simply can not do something like in this picture below with a side by said rail system. A side by side without proper intersections will have at best a lop sided weird looking loop for intersections to allow traffic to go in any direction, it looks ugly a...

The base game allows that already mate.

Sorry not sure if this is yet posted, I looked through 3 pages and have not yet found it.

I have found a bug James, I'm not sure if its been mentioned yet or if you are still working on this due to it going into the game soon. If you have a name length of your station/stop that exceeds 25 characters the train will give a no path signal. My network worked fine until I added your mod to be...

Thanks for the uh, constructive comment? We can share the seed, the judges find a map suitable and then find the seed code for it, simple.
