This also seems to happen if I switch to a buffer chest instead of a logistic chest.

If I fill two active provider chests with an item, and then give them one logistic chest, the bots will fill the logistic chest and then have a bunch of bots left flying with more to put in. This is with cargo size 4.

Biters (and allies) are both too hard and too easy at the same time.

They're too hard in that if they get into your base, they can do tons of damage very fast, and it may not be recoverable.
Also, if you have decent shields and armor, getting hit enough to take out the shields will almost always ...

I came up with what I called a "Sparse Belt" too.
My solution was to limit what was placed on the belt:

The circular (square) belt has a reader, when something gets detected, it sends that to the filter inserter which drops one item on the belt.
That goes in a loop around the walls ...

Please add the version number to the Error loading mod reports. Similar to this implemented suggestion:

Thank you.

Thank you, that was very fast.

Please move to not a bug or delete.
This is no longer happening, even without --force-opengl.
Until it happens again and I can get more information I tend to agree with Loewchen that it's a HW issue.

I was able to duplicate the crash. I'd just added 50 coal to each plastic plant and then as much as I could to the boilers.
It crashed shortly after that.

I'm adding the second crash report because I'd tried and failed to duplicate it one or two times, but then it happened again.

I had this game crash after a while of doing a few things, mostly looking at the science pages.
I was not able to repeat it, but earlier I'd had crashes with a modded game that indicated there was a graphics card problem, so I tried Posila's recommendation from this thread: https://forums.factorio ...

There was a discussion about this.

It may make more sense to continue the discussion there.

Sorry. A non-recoverable error (exception) report:

Please have the crash reports and failed to load mod reports include the version numbers of the base factorio game and all mods.
I see a lot of 'bug reports' that are just bad versions of one mod or another.

I'm trying to use FARL with SE. SE has 'Space Rails' that can be placed in space.


It now works with Space Exploration. As far as I know there were no changes to SE nor FARL to make this work.
There have been several base updates perhaps one of them fixed it.
Or perhaps I was mistaken somewhere ...

I just posted a mod to make boilers and heat exchangers start with 10 water. It could be used in combination with this mod to jump-start power production in space.

Exploring a whole planet adds a lot to the save file, so it isn't automatic. But Nav view (unlocked after launching a navigation satellite) will let you explore any planet you've discovered fairly easily.

I just posted a mod to make boilers and heat exchangers start with 10 water. It could be used in combination with this mod to jump-start power production in a remote outpost.

This is a simple little mod that has boilers and heat exchangers start with 10 water.
It is designed to be used with other mods that require power to make water, the starting water should be enough to jumpstart power production ...

One thing to keep aware of is that for train operations you need a few buffers:
1 - the factory needs a buffer of the items
2 - the depot should have at least a train load full and probably more
3 - the train itself

For a 4 car train, that's 16k plates in at least 3 places, so at least 50k buffered ...

That's so that in Nav mode you cannot actually 'mine' a building to pick it up and place it somewhere else.
