I'm running into similar, I want to launch 200k eggs and can't seem to get them launched this fast - is there a trick to getting them to all launch instantly?

Thanks for the report. That is working as intended. You must empty the trash output slots of the machine before it will continue to extract from the normal output. This is to prevent players from just ignoring the trash output forever and letting it build up with items.


Hmm.

My recommendation ...

Oops, sorry! Here's the save file illustrating this issue.

I have an assembler making both medium/tall power poles:

1) the recipe is set to big power poles. It was previously making medium poles
2) there are 3 medium/3 big poles in the output of the assembler
3) the medium output chest is full
4) the medium filtered inserter shows "target full"
5) the ...

My understanding from the technical factorio discord is entities which are input constrained by non-fluids are inactive. This means:

1) a sulfuric acid machine with sufficient water and sulfur (but zero iron) will be inactive.
2) a sulfuric acid machine with sufficient iron and sulfur (but no water ...

Currently, pressing p shows both production and consumption statistics.

I would like to see a third panel of information that is "difference" in order to quickly identify what items a factory may be producing too many of or too few of compared to consumption.

Right now, you can use the production ...

Using different train sizes is the only way to block certain provider-requester combinations.

Collecting empty barrels back to one outpost is a useless delivery.
Outposts requesting filled barrels should provide emptied barrels with higher priority than the stop producing new barrels. That way ...

I have a small outpost where I make empty barrels as well as request them, so that it serves as an unload location for all finished barrels across the network (and makes more if needed). There are two stations there, one for requesting and one for providing barrels.

However I've realized recently ...

I have added a few more bot based smelters and now, my UPS has dropped nearly in half.

In attempts to investigate this, it would be really nice if I could see a more detailed breakdown of what is affecting my UPS - right now I can only see "entity update" and "Logistic manager."

I am assuming my ...

yup! I'm running a Fluid depot, an Oretrain depot, a plate hauler depot and a small delivery service depot all right next to eachother. Just give them different names, and they work fine. you can even have all the trains go through the same stacker to get there, no problem. Also, You can have ...

Trains are bound to depot names. This allows multiple depots with the same length without trains queuing up at one while another is empty.
Also Depots ignore all control signals except "Stop is Depot".

Ah, so could I do something like naming the depots "depot-short" and "depot-long" and assigning ...

minimum train length (optional) - Requester & Provider - minimum length of locos + wagon allowed in this station (default=0 no limit)


This value applies for the requester/provider stations, but is it possible to use it for a depot as well?

I would like to have separate depots for different ...
