yes, scalability, that may be better, it's just not as fine tuned as what I have

Yea I get that, I just don't see an advantage over what I already do.

Can you tell me more about those stop limits? What do they do? There's a good description in the original FF that introduced them: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=90207 Yes, I read that, but I can't see how it would help with my train balancing. With my setup, the next train al...

This is what per-stop train limits are for.

Can you tell me more about those stop limits? What do they do?

So imagine this scenario: You have a station to unload something like ore, which is actually several train stops with the same name, so you can unload several trains at once. Now... you ofc have stack inserters and chests that buffer the trains cargo so it can be unloaded fast. If you don't control ...

If you use batteries to power the shields, which is basically the only way to do it, then a MK1 shield will provide a lot more hp in total than a MK2 shield, the actual buffer is pretty irrelevant as dmg tends to be rather constant than burst. And a handful of blue circuits really isn't a lot, and a...

yea, that's probably it ...and yes you can use a power armour inside a tank, but the lasers take a few more research steps and you still have a (compared to a properly shielded PA-MK1) pretty squishy tank that you need to repair after every battle, the flame thrower in the tank is bad, the machine g...

So first off, maybe I'm just doing something wrong, if so, just tell me. ;) I simply find the tank and other stuff pretty useless compared to the cost and availability, with that I mean not only building it and ammo cost but also what it takes to research it. So for the tank, you can just as well ge...

I guess this has been suggested before ... but too lazy to search, so I post my suggestion, and some one else will do the research and post a link or merge the topics :roll: . [Koub] Topic merged into older one with same suggestion Totally guilty of not looking back to 2014! -.- Damn, this has been...

I'm not sure if I understand the intention of this thread correctly, adjusting your production to demand seems trivial using circuits and a logistics network, like, only make more if there is less than x total in the system. Or did I miss something? Also, I'd always recommend circular enrichment set...

That's nice, but I consider bots suiciding like that rather a design flaw, that should be fixed, instead of a "matter of taste" that gets satisfied with a mod.

TL;DR Remove or reduce the fire damage received by construction (and maybe also logistics) bots. What ? Either: - prevent patches of ground fire from effecting these drones, after all, they fly, so ground fire should not touch them - increase their fire resistance to a point where they are not inst...

TL;DR I guess this has been suggested before, so just to make sure: Enable modular armors to connect to the electric network to: - quickly charge batteries to full (even without any power source on the armor), or - supply excess power to the electric network from the armor What ? This could either ...

Thanks for mentioning me. :-) I was unhappy with how the reactor is started, even though you ever only need to do this once, you may still need to do it several times if you play with designs, so I thought of this: In my setup, I have each inserter for inserting fuel only connected to the respective...
