Re: Min / Max Combinator circuit help

It's more because I have not got the processing for said ore up and running yet. I'd rather everything comes to a halt than for trains to back up because the stations meant to unload are chocka!

Re: Min / Max Combinator circuit help

Figured i'd post an update on my original purpose of this thread... I have got a train controller working! The Min/Max shown at the start of this thread is used all the time! Very helpful :) My main purpose for removing an item from a min/max "test" was to prevent trains going to a coal ou...

Re: Min / Max Combinator circuit help

Thank you so much for spending time helping me with my problem! I have not built this in my test save quite yet, but how does it handle two lowest values that are the same? copper: 1,000,000 iron: 2,000,000 coal: 500,000 stone: 500,000 I used to use the Random combinator from the mentioned mod, but ...

Min / Max Combinator circuit help

So when I played Factorio last, it was 0.14 and there was a mod called Math Co-Processor, which allowed getting the min, max and random signal from the values on the poles ajacent to it. This allowed for getting the min/max of any number of different signals. This mod has since stopped development. ...

Re: 1896 hours and 600k bots of duh

Okay, buffers outside of train stations are bad. That massive brick of chests and all those tanks are completely unnecessary if you build with constant consumption in mind. Especially that heavy and light oil storage is not needed since you only ever need petroleum. You might also want to look into...

Re: Dual track station switching system

I tried this back when multiple stations with the same name wasn't overhauled to be useful, so attempted an 8 station design with Smart Trains. The train arriving with the ore would go to a "decider" station, and compare all 8 deposits to determine the station with the least ore, which wou...

Re: [MOD 0.12.x] Diesel Fuel 0.0.4

For some reason, I have not got an email notification until the most recent post. I was away for the weekend anyway, so would not have been able to respond. Thanks for updating the mod - I don't play Factorio anymore due to being busy with starting University. If you want, I can upload your patch to...

Re: [tags] Forum Tagging System Proposal

Why not implement a built-in tag system to the forums? Like below "subject" there is another box where you can select from a list of tags. The user could then add many tags (perhaps limit to 5). The tags could then be used as part of advanced search of the forums. The tags would then be di...

Re: [MOD 0.12.x] Extra Tool Belts 0.1.0

Does it require updating (other than the info.json file) ?

To my knowledge, everything should still work?

Not much time to update all of my mods... (mainly because most have been already recreated in bulk packs)

Re: 0.13 station unloading

What is the point in the underground belts in front of some inserters? The inserters would be placing on the far side of the belt, which is what the underground belts would cause anyway. And as the corner issue with items on belts decompressing is fixed, it shouldn't be an issue either. Just curious...

I can confirm. Mods are highlighted when they need updating, however when clicking "update mods", the progress bar doesn't move and then after a few seconds a notice says "Download Failed". https://i.imgur.com/Yl2KDkM.jpg I can not install new mods either. https://i.imgur.com/z0C...
