Crashed on exit from the game. I had already saved it. No harm, just a crash to desktop and a message requesting to post the log file (see below). 0.000 2023-05-13 14:49:57; Factorio 1.1.80 (build 60618, win64, steam) 0.000 Operating system: Windows 11 (build 22621) 0.000 Program arguments: "D:...

I for one am deeply disappointed by the removal of red-desert-rock-medium 11. I shall miss it tremendously. That was my favorite entity and the game will just not be the same again... ever.

Thanks for the reply. I kind of like the idea of it being an endless game. Do we still have to kill aliens to harvest their eggs for purple sci packs? Or was that done away with in a new release?

I'm confused about the objective of the game and space science packs. I created a game with the scenario "freeplay." I built a rocket silo and launched a rocket with a satellite. That ended the game. However, according to the factorio wiki and hovering the mouse over the space science pack...

As you discovered, the train contents is not sent to the circuit network unless the train is in AUTOMATIC mode. If it is in MANUAL mode, no contents or any other signal is sent to the network. If you're troubleshooting setting up a network design and you need to read the signals from the train while...

If that logic is right, then the decider combinator can't prevent a zero value for the contents from being transmitted to the inserters, even if you put a condition on it. So then the solution with the constant combinator and the arithmetic combinator works because the inserters are checkng for a v...

I understand HOW it all works. I just don't understand why it works as opposed to the first way I tried, which was with a simple decider combinator that checks for the train signal and then passed the train contents through to the inserters. It's like saying that to move forward one step, you have t...

Obviously I didn't see the post by LAV. My eyes skipped over it I guess because it looked like it was part of the previous post. Yep, LAV's solution works and doesn't take up much real estate on the map. I think I saw this solution before but I didn't understand it probably because I hadn't run up a...

Thanks for this post with the combinators, etc. I will build this from the blueprint just as a study of combinators so I can understand them better. But as I get more into this, it becomes clear that the solution is not simple. There's something blatantly wrong with the basic game mechanics when it ...

I thought I had this solved by using combinators to only output the train contents when the train ID > 0. It doesn't solve the problem because of the fact that I have a condition on each inserter that checks the train contents. If it cannot read the train contents, then it will assume that it is zer...

I set up my factory so that my trains transport materials around the area. Don't know if I'm doing this right or if there is a better way to do it. I'm reading the contents of the train with either the red or green wire. Doesn't matter what color I don't think. I've got an inserter that is supposed ...
