Re: Construction Robots not doing repairs

Also it's worthy of note that the inner square on roboports is the logistics network where items are shared and the outer ring is the construction/repair network. If any of your roboports are outside of the main logistics network, they will not be able to see or access any repair packs that are in t...

Re: How can I control production amounts better?

Science Packs remain in the chest until I come get them and move them manually to the Research Building-feeding Belt. That's what inserters are for. :mrgreen: But if I limited a Chest to, e.g., 50 units of content, and then have an Inserter taking stuff out of the chest, then I don't accomplish any...

Re: Map Seed when using Map Editor

The above is correct. Also - You can get the Map Exchange String for any individual save file when you attempt to load it. On the load screen there's a button that allows you to get the Map Exchange String. Put that into the map exchange string text box when you create a new map and it'll automatica...

Re: Some items becoming "useless" in lategame & changing rec

To bring this back from the dead, I think a reasonable solution is a Disassembly Machine that breaks an item down into the core parts it is made from. This could be similar to the assembly machine line and it should break an item down one stage. Okay, so the concept is simple. Just like you have Ass...

Re: [YouTube] Factorio Fixit

Solar fields are not my forte... As you can well see. Normally I don't make solar until after I have bots and then they handle that stuff for me. Because of the bind that Jetlaw was in, it was more important to start working on solar before the bots. It's fine, I really appreciate the time you spen...

Re: [YouTube] Factorio Fixit

Hahaha. I'll fix it when I get the save back. The entire time I was screaming at my screen "Just place the solar panels and then put the pole in the middle" when he was trying to figure out the build from the forums. If I can mash up blue science quickly I can push towards... Is it substat...

Re: [YouTube] Factorio Fixit

@Jetlaw: proud to say I reckon I've salvaged your base :D Took a little bit of work but i reckon I'm pretty much there. I'll do a third episode to hopefully tie things up and then it will be up to you! I've deliberately not done the blue science setup for you, I think it'll be better if you work th...

Re: [YouTube] Factorio Fixit

I don't know about that -root, I just looked at the file and have to say jetlaw's built himself quite the fortress. *snip image* If I were a biter I'd be sweating bullets at the sight of that :D I may have spent the first 2-3 hours of the map setting up a base defence that dealt with the fact that ...

Re: [YouTube] Factorio Fixit

Negroot - Can you have a look at my save if you get a chance, please? https://www.dropbox.com/s/72ds4dq6l09cb8n/Jetlaw_HalpWithBlue.zip?dl=0 I'm trying to transition into Blue Science but I think I dilly-dallied too long and I'm suffering quite heavy medium biter attacks before I've gotten Solar or ...

Re: Will multi focus make harder for features to be implemen

As a programmer I can at least try to give some indication of how their current multiplayer system works. The whole "desync" issue that currently occurs in multiplayer is because each game client has its own copy of the game state and is running its own version of the game update loop. The...

How do I deal with early game biters?

What are good methods of dealing with early game biter attacks? Unless I start in a corner somewhere with good cover from bodies of water I spend so, so much time just walling around and building a gun turret network, then inserters to feed them all with ammo, the factories to build the turrets to b...
