Just curious why you decided to not integrate roboports?


I dont use bots other than from personal roboports for the sake of PC performance.

To build/deconstruct large structures I usually build a roboport grid and later remove it when job is done.

I also don't use logistic bots for the most ...

I'll reserve one more post in case I'll have time for a run from scratch to be able to share a fully built megabase save and pictures later.

Blueprint Book

The blueprint book provided has the following sections:

1. 1K Science Factories - this contains all factories for 1K SPM production, as well as lab array. Blueprints are numbered plus each blueprint has part of previous one's rails on the left, so you will ...

I decided to show and share the blueprints for my factories, hoping that they either will help someone to learn the game or will spark some new ideas for conquering production times and rates.

The title is somehow misleading :lol:


Clickbait! :mrgreen: I corrected it to be less misleading though.

Hello all.

Previously I used Ore Eraser alot in my playthroughs, so I was very happy to see it updated for 0.17.0, when it was released. However, when devs renamed the entity player to character the mod got broken, as many others.

I waited for some time for it to be updated with little luck. I ...

Eh, it's not too hard. Make a liquid bus and carry heavy and light to some location near steel. Then you can have a chem plant basically next to the main bus.


Yep, its not too hard to setup. The reason why I posted this suggestion was the logic, that devs demonstrated to use in their changes to ...

The bit about making the barrel return less on un-barrelling if you used some of it up as ammo would require new game engine functionality - there's currently no way for a recipe to respond dynamically to "durability" state - and it seems like a lot of work for something this ... subtle.

One of the most enjoyable findings in Factorio game design to me is that the game forces you to come back to your ...

TL;DR

Remove flamethrower ammo from the game.
Allow flamethrower and tank to use barreled oils (same oils as for flamethrower turret) as ammo.
Allow different types of oil to provide same bonuses for ...

Oh, I see. Sorry for the inconvinience

1. Open any item on wiki, for example https://wiki.factorio.com/Nuclear_reactor#Normal%20mode
2. Click "Expensive mode" tab.
3. Click "Normal mode" tab.

Recipe ingridients stay same, while Total raw ingridients change correctly.

I browsed through several different items randomly and it seems that ...

Hey, guys.

Some time ago I started to build the accumulator display (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=66880) and after couple rounds of finetuning I think its finally done. Yeah, I know, another display, whats so special about it?

Each operation in the circuit network takes 1 tick.


Ok, after some brainstorming and further googling, I think I was able to make almost everything to work. Here's the description of what I've finally done:

Hey, guys. I was using curcuit network for long time, but only for simple things, like switching power on\off if conditions are met, etc.
