Re: Toolbar offset from center

The aspect ratio of my screen is (1728x1117): 1.547. But I don't see how that would affect the placement of the quickbar. Please let us not introduce a red herring.

What I'm complaining about is that when the minimap is displayed the quickbar overlaps the tooltips when the quickbar has been ...

Show more entities

In the map editor when adding entities, the settings for Cursor/Brush/Spray takes up too much space. Add a way to hide those setting so more entities are visible for selection.

Without mods you have to count signals that are connected with wires, you can't do from the train stop
What do train signals have to do with train length?

Toolbar offset from center

If you're not going to center the toolbar, don't center it to the left not the right!

Note traditional side loading messes up even upstream of a lane balancer.

Re: A different way to side load

This is not so much about the sushi, but how the upstream lanes are both used.

Re: Size issues on Mac Pro processor

After posting I wanted to see what would happen if I changed the screen resolution and noticed the default resolution was not the max. Changing it to max allowed me to fix my issue. It looks like Factorio is querying the max resolution not the resolution being used.

Re: Belt Input Equalizer

I misspoke, I should have said the bottom lane not mixing is not a problem because the upper lane fills the output belt.

This design works as long as the input belts are compressed and the input and output are the same speed.

The bottom lane is not mixed because the upper lane fills the output belt before it has a chance to be consumed.

Re: Is it possible to input balance a single belt's lanes?

dabalciunas, I think you are making an invalid assumption about these lane balancers. Although they have a splinter on the input they should only have one belt as input not two.

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers

I'm confused. I thought trains would reroute if their path was blocked. In the screen shot below my work train is blocking the normal path out of the refueling stations but there are four bypasses that have stations that they could use.
