Honestly I am kind of disappointed that the devs did not mention the mod version of "train stop limits" that has been updated every version for 3 years.

Intresting idea.

There is a thread with more compact implimentations for hysteresis

You have an interesting design siggboy, looks like Vox_Imperatoris built the same one as you. XKnight has a really cool design, took me a while to figure it out.

A reddit thread by Vox_Imperatoris was posted earlier today. They put together a similar solution using a diffrent method. https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/54igl7/combinators_for_beginners_like_me_a_very_simple/ Its awesome to see how many ways things can be created in factorio. The only i...

I think of it more as upper and lower trigger points. If a value rises above the upper trigger turn on, if it fall below the lower trigger turn off. If the value is between the upper and lower triggers keep the current state.

You can use a two combinator solution to implement hysteresis in any system. http://i.imgur.com/mgKZNMt.png So quick explanation. C = negative of the center value H = hysteresis, plus minus this are your trigger points Constant: C Arithmetic: each / H Decider: each > 0 = 1 each So if you wanted 40, ...

I will only be talking about AND, OR, and XOR. Shifts, compliment, and bit selection are nice but can be done using existing methods. I say that these mathematical atoms are necessary. Giving users access to these you enable them to develop new ways of thinking and If you want to build a system why ...

The problem is not that they can not be built, I am doing so for my CPU. The problem exists that it is not an efficient use of game resources. I could easily implement it by splitting out all the bits but in doing so would require at minimum of 31 divides and multiplies (and a < 0 for the sign bit) ...

Can we get some Boolean combinators so we can compute things with without having to split each bit out. Alternately exposing it as a modding api in some way.

• AND &
• OR |
• XOR ^
• Compliment ~
• RShift >>
• LShift <<
• Bit Select

Would love to see a Burner Lamp for lighting my base.
I don't know if its possible to make a flamethrower turret based on fuel pipes. ( since I wont be using electric turrets )

So I just tried to join (Z903) a game ( I was the third player ), we got a desync loop. One player was in combat (inzainia) when I joined the game. So it may be related. We restarted and that player moved out of combat and I was able to join ( the game was manually paused on join). Attached is the d...

Using the saving and replay features built into the game it may be possible to run the simulation and have a connecting client download the map. This feature would allow clients to download the map without the server stopping for the entire download time. This method assumes that a replay may be sav...

Ya its fine to add them to the wiki

Thanks!

I actually like that corners slow down the flow of items. it adds an interesting "law" to the game that the player has to get around :) I have to agree with -root. The problems corners create are one of the more interesting things to work to avoid. Its easy to deal with early game, just a...

Yes it is a perfect split. If you put 30 iron in the input you will get 10 out each path of the 3 split.

Even if the input is fully loaded but not if the output is blocked.

Hey everyone, So a while ago I came up with a way to use splitters to split a stream of resources by odd numbers ( or any number for that matter ). The basic principle is to find the next biggest power of two and route the undesired fraction back into the input. This creates a recursive splitting. I...
