Ah... Now I see. Yes it's a duplicate.

"Waiting for source items" is shown because the inserter could insert another type of fuel into the heating tower.

So it's not a bug, it's just confusing

An inserter will display "Waiting for source items" on a heating tower if the tower has enough fuel instead of "target full"
Can be reproduced with different type of inserters and sources (belts and chests).

That looks incredible!

Creating a snow covered version for that many entities is quite a lot of work for a Christmas card.

So I guess this screenshot wasn't taken on Nauvis

Nevermind, i found another way to break the counter: when train stop is destroyed while the train is stopped at that train stop. This case is also covered by above mentioned fix.


Yes! Now I remember! The Train was stopped at the station when it was destroyed! And I send it back to the depot ...

One of my Train stations is stuck with a reservation. I suspect it was reserved when it has been destroyed. After it has been rebuild, the reservation counter is stuck to one, despite non of the trains targeting the station. If I set the train limit to two, a train is routed to the station, but the ...

Sorry! I found it. It's in the main window of the train stop. I just looked at the circuit network settings.

I just got a little overexited for the new feature. Great work!

The new Train limit can only be set as circuit network signal. Somtimes, it would be usefull to set a fixed limit (e.g. one).

In combinators, one can select a cicuit network singnal OR set a constant. The train limit feature should also have this feature.

One thing that bugs me in the statistics GUI is that it always defaults to the 5 second view if you open it. I usally use the 1 and 10 minute view, since theese are more representative for the produciton of the factory than the 5 second view.
Maybe if you reopen the gui, it could show the last used ...

Ah... technically correct, the best kind of correct! :lol:

I thougt, if you place gates by hand, they would automatically allign. But they don't. :? :lol:

So disabling the upgrade from wall to gate in the upgrade planner seems reasonable, since it isn't very usefull without an auto-alignment ...

Upgrading horizontal walls to gates with the Upgrade planner results in vertical gate segments:

Maybe related: I was just very confused by the new deconstruction planner mechanic in combination with the shortcut bar. I opened the decon-planner from the tool-menu and placed it in the shortcut menu. The red icon appeared and everything seems to be good. Until I dropped the decon-planner from my ...

Together with scripts, templates allow us to partially automate updating the wiki to the newest version, and alongside access to the game's source code, it is possible for me to update the wiki to a new version within a few minutes.

So... you automated the Wiki. Factorio at its finest

Sounds very much like the Unexpected hanging paradox

yes yes i know, use mod.

So... you started this topic to tell us what, exactly?

1-2-1 double header for distributing materials around the different parts of my base and 1-5 for hauling ore from the mining outpost. The first cargo wagon is reserved for supply materials for the mining outposts (repair packs, walls, laser turrets, constructions bot, etc.). Every mining outpost has ...

I think it's only 50*10 = 500. On double headed trains, only one locomotive is running at a time.

My military sience pack production shut down, because a used (aka damaged) gun turret was put into the assembler. The inserter tried to insert another (healthy) turret, but coudln't, because damaged entitys doesn't stack:

Nope. The whole water->steam process is not accounted for in the production overview.

In the production overview Steam is only shown on the Consumed side, but not in the production side.

It seems to me, that the production in Boilders/Heat exchangers is not logged for the production overview.
