OK,
Thanks for explaining.

This question is not related to the above errormessage. And : no issue, just a question to understand startup sequence. I am working on a mod which updates the stacked items from the beltbox mod (f.e. stacksize). Reading the documentation on data lifecycle , https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Data-...

OK, understand.
I indeed read the sentence as : It is possible to unstack a fully saturated belt of stacked input.

valneq is right
I am using Bob's logistic ultimate-transport-belts, and have "deadlock-integrations" as mod to integrate those with stacking beltbox.
They indeed are colored green, as is the beltbox I use.

Hi, Question on speed of the beltboxes. In the description you mention "Each tier of beltbox can handle a fully compressed belt of the same tier." But when I have an ultimate-tansport-belt, fully filled with stacked items, connected to an ultimate-transport-belt-beltbox, I cannot load three outgoing...

The issue reported in

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=62434

Is not yet fixed in 0.17 (was mentioned "Thanks for the report. It's now fixed for 0.17."

Still resulting in repeatedly stopping furnace behavior.

Attached are the savefile and mod for 0.17

Did a quick check and yes, these issues can also occur with assemblers.

The one in the left is only outputting to left and bottom belts.
The one on the right is outputting on all three belts.

The left one is on a chunk crossing.

That is a strange reasoning about this issue : Because it is due to the technical implementation it will not be solved. The focus should be on functionality, not on internals. The result of it is an inconsistent behaviour of the game -> Same components not working identical together. I myself have a...

Hi,

Do you need any additional testing or information on this issue to investigate ?

FYI,

I posted a bug report on this : viewtopic.php?f=7&t=63192

When having a chest with one input belt and multiple output belts, the inserters have different behavior whether they are placed on chunk border or not. In the picture below, both configs are identical but. Left : All goods are placed on the belt below the chest. Right : Goods are spread across belo...

Inserters make no guarantees about splitting evenly. If you want that, use a splitter. I have no problem at all when the splitting is not completely even across the belts. But now it is a 100% vs 0% split. I would consider it as a bug when a config is working different when shifted by one row. Adde...

Hi, Maybe an "edge" problem. When I use miniloader + steelchest as splitter, sometimes only one belt is being supplied. Looks like that is happening when the chest is "just above a thick line" in the grid. (chunk ?) Below is a picture from the attached savefile (only uses creative-mod 0.0.32 and min...

Thanks again, starting to understand and have first things working.

On make_4way_animation_from_spritesheet (and util.by_pixel), noticed I can use that in my data.lua.

Are there more of these helper functions ?
Do you know where these are defined ?
Any documentation available ?

Thanks Bilka.

In these and others I checked there are multiple pictures in one png file.

How are the individual pictures placed in the file/referred to in the definition ?

Hi, I am working on non-square assemblers (1x2, 1x3, ..). When defining a 1x1 assembler, I need only one picture/animation for the entity. But now I need two pictures, one for horizontal, one for vertical use. Been checking other mods but can't get the right way to get that done. Can anyone point me...

Hi, I created a 1x2 assembler. When placing the assembler as is it works as expected. Rotating this placed container also works OK. When rotating before placing, the assembler is placed on a 2x3 tile position, also making the pipe_connection unusable -> This is the issue. Checked also with splitter ...

OK, clear.

Thanks for the info.

Hi, I'd like to create recipe icons which have a different background than the default grey. When I use the tint option, the icon itself get updated color. Searching I found the color option but that seems not to have effect. icons = { { icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/crude-oil.png", icon_siz...

For completeness of this thread.
This has proved to be a bug. Solved in 0.17.
