it would qualify as overhaul to me if you could drag not just 1 but 2 or 3 belts in parallel after pressing ctrl + mouse wheel, a little similar to how you can place larger square of concrete, i know i can use blueprints and force build, i just feel that's where current smart belt is the most ...

Not sure re: glibc, but the point is generally better performance (LTO) and compatibility.

You could glean most of these by searching the forum—try terms like "glibc", "static link linux", etc.

I would expect basically the same as seen for e.g. uranium and scrap. No clue how to denote independent chances vs. exactly one though, considering that as it is now is a bit ambiguous.

Edit: checking now, I'm mixing up a couple things (or they've changed); what I was imagining was a percent on top ...

To my knowledge: yes and no, respectively.

The 2nd proposal, that I was supporting, was to simply graph the difference between actual production and actual consumption. There are quite a few corner cases and possible pitfalls with accurately calculating demand, whereas the difference proposal is much simpler.


(These ideas are related ...

A couple thoughts from glancing over it:

- You keep talking about "mathematically cover[ing] all possible scenarios"—have you done any sort of fuzzing or enumeration or are you at the "this covers everything we can think of so far" stage right now?
- I'm a bit confused by your definition of ...

I think some people here are saying "difference between production and consumption" when what they really mean is "difference between what I can produce and consumption".

No change in belt speeds in this one, interestingly. I'm curious what the transport lines look like.

That was never relevant, this is purely dictated by the update order.


My understanding (which could very well be wrong, and often is) was that an entire segment is updated at once, so what ...

One more small con I have against inserter filtering as a tech is that it changes the functionality of affected entities to such an extent that updated recipes would be expected. How can the same simple Burner inserter that is crafted from a iron gear wheel and a iron plate suddenly be capable of ...

Since it has a pretty niche use case then anyway (that's what most people imply here) then the best option seems to be simply how it already was, a special inserter that can do that where you need it.


I think the current setup is more elegant, both because it requires fewer types of entities ...

If you click on either of the locomotives, you'll notice that the next stop is highlighted red, and if you hover over it it says "no stops with this name exist". It looks like either you renamed a train stop, or you moved/replaced it (resulting in a new randomly-generated name).

I'm curious, do you use filters in the early game?

from 1 factory in the chain i read the recepy and if it contains a fluid then unload that specific barrel.
however if there is a diferent fluid in the pipes then barrel that fluid first


I'm kind of curious—how does this work when the amount doesn't evenly fit in barrels? Does starting to barrel ...

1/ Do not allow placing inserter with filters while filters are not researched. This would be the same as assembling machines and unresearched recipes which was quite often complained about because it forced players to stamp same blueprint over and over again after technologies were unlocked ...

This is not entirely accurate, music audio files are read from disk "on demand".

I assume you don't block a frame for that, though? (Especially on, say, a hard drive.)

I'm not really qualified to give advice here but that doesn't sound right.

Not sure if I agree or not, but it's an interesting idea. You might as well include splitters while you're at it.

Do you have an update available for your graphics drivers?

He was able to reproduce it via that; he also said that he didn't think he was pressing end, but it was quite possible the other player was.
