Re: A different way to side load

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.

Can't use Shavian alphabet to name train stations.

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.

I noticed some UI windows have a vertical scroll bar. If all UI had vertical/horizontal scroll bars this would not be a problem.

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.

But that mixes just one lane. Not both. You see that clearly on the last pic, where only the upper belt is mixed.
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. Take a look at the designs by disentius in this https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=202&t=74911 for some two b...

Alternative suggestion: Offer HSV alongside, not instead of, RGB.

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.

I routinely abuse this. I will make a Train Fuel train. This train has two stations on its schedule : Train Fuel Pickup (where it does just that) and a number of Train Fuel Drop Off stations. Those Train Fuel Drop Off stations are only turned on when the fuel Iโ€™m using falls below a certain amount ...
