Verion 2.0 took robots out of the debug view as entities.
Any way to know how much robots are active and how much cpu-time they're consuming?

There's a new item called logistiv manager, but I don't think that represents the bots.

As the rockets now return the science packs only to the cargo landing pad,
I guess modular bases (many small bases where everything is produced from scratch on-site) are impossible?

It seems the problem only comes up when I'm running on vpn (Hotspot), but I have no explanation for this behaviour.

Since today I get an error message when starting the game, I'm the only one?

The wait-for-full-hand feature for the bulk inserter sounds nice, but why not make that an option for all inserters? Would be very UPS friendly.

I updated from 1.1.31 up to 1.1.68 and now I get this error message:
Any Idea?


EDIT: Downloaded the full Game Package and now its running. Must be a Problem with the Updater.

1) How bad is this belt spaghetti gonna be along with everything else ups wise? 2) Would it be better to just build 2 smelters for each chip instead of optimizing with 6 to 4? 4) Would it be better to use bots? Bots for everything? Or may be only for the "leftover" chips column? How do I ...

I'm not a programmer, but given the fact that on most mega-bases the bots are the most time consuming items, why wasn't they multithreaded before engine development was called finished? Multithreaded Belts are nice, but don't help any real mega-base. In short, at any point of the development, there...

When changing personal logistic requests, and you hit ENTER to confirm, it doesn't confirm the logistic request but instead it makes you enter or leave a vehicle when you're near to one. Untitled.png I am used to change the numbers and hit ENTER twice to confirm and exit the window. But it doesn't w...

Factorio is the best Game I ever bought, gave me much more bang for my bucks than any other game before.
I have faith in Kovarex that he's going into the right direction, so whatever you will sell next, I buy it.

Is using a clocked stack filter inserter still ups-friendlier than a normal stack inserter? I thought that had changed?

I constantly run out of energy when building larger blueprints, even with 3 PFR and ~8 Batteries.
If the PFR gets nerfed it wouldn't be any fun to play anymore.

When the train stop is not connected to any circuit network, the wait-condition "circuit condition" should use the contents of the train. I use the same setup and Ore=0 on unloading and Ore > x on loading side works fine. Use Item-count instead of Circuit-condition. Sorry for bad advise.

You might consider adding holding stations into the schedule between the loading and unloading, then reduce the trains limit on the loading stations. Trains departing the unloading will find the closest unloaded holding station and wait there for the next available loading station. This means you c...

When I enlarge my solar fields I can get something around 2000 construction-bots working, but if the construction-area gets too big this number decreases.

I suppose you could make a mod that automatically moves assembler products to an adjacent chest, then make a circuit between that chest and the inserter to only activate the inserter when the chest has at least X items. That would just double the amount of inserters, don't think that's any better f...

How would inserters only moving with full hands actually reduce CPU usage though? I expect inserters to belt to be most UPS efficient at a stack size of 1, since the inserter only needs to look at the belt for a minimum of 1 tick on a swing to drop the item. With more items in hand, it needs to che...

Why do you have the bypass? Having a bypass means that trains waiting in the stacker might choose to go to other stations. Alternatively put another station of the bypass, to add a penalty that will discourage trains from choosing to go another station. The bypass is a relic from building various f...

While what happens i think is triggering this rule : "A train stop that is part of the train's schedule gets enabled, renamed or created." or this one "The train limit of a train stop that is part of the train's schedule becomes not full." This causes repath, and not just revali...
