Is 2) intentionally set to be just 0.2-0.5 engine's worth of coal lower throughput than 120? If not, what would this issue be categorized as and where would I post a thread on it?

The impression I'm getting is that it's simply coincidence that the red belt's ability to sustain boilers being just ...

I mean, even if robots couldn't deconstruct trees instantly, throwing grenades non-stop would be about as fast as using bots, and even later on you can use nukes.

Mega is a unit prefix in metric systems of units denoting a factor of one million

So you need to have 1 million of something.

How about 1 million biters?

Btw, https://factorio.rotol.me/ has a full recipe/research wiki for multiple mods, including Bob's mods.

So maybe you could use it somehow.

I believe a future version of Xander's Mod is going to have a logging camp that cuts trees down around it on a timer. Maybe once it's complete it could also be made into a standalone mod.

If you get fed up by having to wait, maybe grab the Creative Mode mod and plan out some bases that you'd make if you had no time or resource limitations, and then think about how you'd bootstrap up to them in a normal game?

There are also a few non-vanilla reasons why you might want to use a speed module:

1) A mod, like Building Platforms, restricts how easily you can scale up industry.
2) The production building is more expensive than filling it with speed modules (not sure what mods this happens in, but it COULD ...

I doubt vanilla beacons will change at this point, but being able to modify how beacons work in mods (different area of effect besides just a square, like maybe a diamond or a circle or straight lines, using a different formula for beacon stacking besides linear addition, etc) could be enough to ...

You're right in that O(log n) per insert/removal is O(n log n) per tick where n is the number of items being created/destroyed.

Though if every item in the heap has the same lifetime, and there's no other way to extend or shorten lifetime, you have an easier time - just have a list and add all new ...

And if all that doesn't convinces you...the performance cost for such a system would be immense. But i'm sure you don't mind playing at 30UPS.

I don't think it would actually be that big. You could use a priority heap structure, containing all expirable items, with the soonest to expire at the ...

The one thing cobalt plate is used for is making cobalt steel plate.

If that recipe no longer exists it seems to be useless.

Angel's Smelting Patch disables the simple silicon ore -> glass recepie for furnaces. That is the point.

I have full bobs and angels and i could smelt it just fine yesterday when i tried.

Just so it's clear, the mod in question is https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Florian1024/only-smelting which ...

I've been following Factorio for about two and a half years now. While I love to see the art improvements and I like to learn of how you've improved the engineering of the game I am still rather saddened that the game itself has barely changed. In terms of gameplay very few things have changed ...

You might be interested in the Anno series:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_(series)

They're about logistics, city building/management and have competitive elements.

I think you'll find lots of people (including me) got to blue science with spaghetti and didn't need any particular advanced techniques beyond understanding how oil works.

You could probably make a mod that automatically made such recipes and locked them behind higher tier technologies.

It is an extremely cool idea:

I think this is okay. The tone of the achievement suggests a cheeky/joshing use, not an insulting use. After all, Factorio is all about being lazy and having machines do the work. Being the laziest bastard is a compliment.

There's a Bobs/SpaceX compatibility mod, better use it.
