Hi,

Back to my factorio factory after an almost two year pause.
So moving from 1.1.36 to 1.1.85.

Looking ino the options for optimalizations that have been implemented in that period.

I know, in the last days, I've read about a possible one for inserters (I have aroud 32.000 of those).
It's ...

Looks like you’re using the Shortcuts mod. If so disable the grid shortcut in the shortcut panel.

Thanks that was the issue.

Hi,

Uninteded I now have a grid visible on part of my factory.
Don't know how it was set, don't konw how I can reset.

Anyone knows hoe to remove the partial grid.

When a furnace with result_inventory_size > 1 it still stops working when the first inverory slot is full.

Can be shown by updating the vanilla elect furnace by :
Result in game is :

Yes, I know the lua way to do it.

BTW there is no need to use binary : entity.link_id = value; value being between 0 and 255 inclusive.

Made a small mod with gui to change the values and visualize the linked chests.

I have a linked chest, link-id has top checkbox selected, contents is copper plates

Copper_linked.PNG

A second linked chest has checkbox two selected, contents is rocket fuel.

Rocket_link.PNG

Then I create a third linked chest, which as link_id should get both top and second checkbox ...

It probably is possible to keep track of changing train-id's with the use of on_train_created & entity_destoyed events.
Then a train-tag can be transferred to newly assigned trains.
If that is correct, then, with the use of on_train_state_changed and a constant-combinator the tag/signal could be ...

With "Chest Pattern" I mean the part of the gui where you have to select a number of tickboxes.
Identical patterns selected means the Linked-chest shares the inventory.

In order to better see the status of linked chests/belts :

Can you add the chest pattern (based on which is decided which chests share the content) in the information window on the right.
Preferable as a number.
The helps a lot to see quickly whether the config is OK or has issues.
Can you add the ...

Hi,

I am planning to use linked_belts in my mod.
Placing them is no issue, the challenge is how to connect them.

Preferable I would like to connect them the same way as how the circuit network wires are made.

Pick an item (link_connector like a red/green wire) click one linked_belt, see the ...

Thanks.

Glad I did not overlook the obvious

Hi,

As I see it now, when a train cannot go to a station due to train limit, the status of a train switches to "defines.train_state.no_path"
Is there a way to detect the difference between "no path" and "destination full" in a mod ?

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 ...

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 ...
