This is very lovely and great! Glad to hear that you all are still finding ways to improve the efficiency of the game. ---------------------------------------------------------- I know Factorio isn't about exploration, but those "crop circle pattern" could be an interesting random find. Ag...

I don't like the idea of simply dropping things.

These types of things do exist irl for loading/unloading ores, dirt & gravel, etc.

OK, that's good. Sorry I didn't reply back on this before; I had looked into AB and couldn't find any evidence that it was tampering with creep, so there was nothing I could do on that.

Yeah, I don't know what you had going on.

And by the way, I made a mistake in what I said about logistic bots... buffer chests are higher priority than red passive, but not highest. But again, that only applies to logi bots. Con bots still don't care (distance to build target only).

For logistic bots, buffer chests have highest priority as a source (aside from player trash) . (EDIT: high er priority over passive (red) providers.) For construction bots, it's closest to the build ghost, regardless of type. It's hard to tell from your post, but are you seeing a behavior different ...

Or roll a new seed. Or adjust the Enemy frequency and size sliders. That's what they're all there for.

Fun thing to look at: Change the map setting to Deathworld and take a look at the number, size, and closeness of the nests on the same seed. That's what other's like to start with.

Once you all are done over-engineering the solution, something on page 1 will be updated with the answer so others don't need to read through the whole thing, right? :mrgreen: :lol: I try to answer shortly, If you plan on using more than 1 train and signals , i don't think it's possible to do more ...

Thank you for your reply but I wrote you. I´m not able to do(make) the »Satellite telemetry«. I don´t have this item in my choice anywhere. I tried to find it everywhere. All posible technology are rechearched. The text box you caught in your screenshot is trying to tell you. Satellite telemetry.png

The way I see it, the real problem is the fact that chests are essentially like bag-of-holdings....

Ah, ok, that wasn't clear to me from the initial mention, apologies. I thought you were referring simply to the situation where the train is ready to depart, releasing the reservation and thus allowing another train to path to the station before space had actually been cleared for it. Either way, st...

And a postfix "S" for stack is hard to guess.

Technically speaking, knowing that you can type k, m, etc into the formulas isn't "easy" to guess, either. But all of it can be solved with a (tooltip) legend of what is accepted.

the main reason why this would be good is that it allows for easy request setting in multi-purpose requester chests, as it is far easier to remove requests than add them While this is true and "multi-purpose requester chests" is a valid use case, this suggestion makes one outcome (add to ...

Huh, ok, I guess I don't see it as a problem, especially seems L is being calculated either way and you can move the 4 combinators around to where ever is needed, but if the devs want to implement it.... I'm neither for or against. I just don't really see the need. *shrug* This said, too, it should ...

Option A: use multiple decider combinators to compare L & M and return the lowest of them, then cast the result to L. Pros: Works in any setup. Cons: Quite complex & uses a lot of combs I may be missing or misunderstanding something, but outside of the combinators needed to calculate L (whi...

I wonder if the better option is to have whatever you pick up from your corpse automatically replace whatever you currently have equipped? IE, whatever weapon (and ammo) you had in the slot prior to dying the starter pistol/ammo is occupying when you pick up your corpse is automatically swapped back...

Agreed with the other comments here that this is probably not necessary. I mean, just to get the tick count to run out in your lifetime , you'd need to run the game at speed 40 to 50 thousand , maybe faster, depending on your current age and how long you'll live to. Even at 10k speed, it's apt to no...

Something similar was just suggested an hour and a half before this post (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=110233), though this one is slightly better. But my thoughts are similar: This would need to be restricted to only a few item types at most as otherwise it'd make it complete...

I'm not sure I'd want to trivialize unloading so much to where it's direct to furnaces, and any bulk unloading/loading would need to be restricted (ores are the only ones that make sense to me) as otherwise it'd completely supplant normal unloading and make it pointless to use. (And I know this was ...
