Ahh, just like you said, it fixed itself.
Thank you, guess I should learn to have some patience

Hi there, So I have I haven't played Factorio in maybe a year or more, and I have this factory where I spent alot of hours building it. When I last played everything was fine, no issues at all. Now after I came back, I'm facing this huge amount of lag and very low fps, so I'm guessing it's not compa...

I had no such luck. All the save files did sync properly, except the Blueprint's because of this setting. And since I erased the entire computer before installing Windows, it was all gone with no backups available. They should atleast warn the player about this setting since most probably the player...

Today I just realized I just lost dozens of hours of work making blueprints into my game library, just to disappear out of thin air after reinstalling Windows.
It makes no sense that the Steam Cloud Sync is on by default but not this option.

Is it just me or is somebody else struggling with this? I get no alert sound when a train is attacked and destroyed. Either partially or fully. I have found multiple times train jams somewhere in remote outposts and the culprit is a damaged train that was attacked and i had no idea because they were...

That seems like the logical way. I did make all the construction materials that the factory was not actively using them to be put into active providers and set a logistic limit on the inserter. However, for the developers that felt the need to "dumbfy" oil to cater the less creative player...

Hi there! Sorry for late reply. What you shared is for logistic bots. I was referring to construction bots that don't seem to have the same priority scheme has their logistic counterparts. It is clear that when they have their passive provider chest closer to the construction zone than the storage c...

Hey guys I'm wondering if there is mod to make the construction robots go fetch the itens from storage chests instead of passive providers that happens to be closer to the construction site. For me, this mechanic of weird prioritization is garbage. The point of storage chests is to keep your recycla...

Before, the icon was static when connected to a certain fluid type, but now they changed to only show the icon if there is fluid in them. It's back to the 0.17 way i think. Honestly i preferred the other way. Like that you don't have to follow the pipe back to see where it is connected if it has no ...

Hello.
I've been enjoying the brand new update with the new beacons.
But this new fluid mechanic has become a bit annoying because when the fluid is just trickling in the pipe, the icon starts blinking. If the setup is huge then i would look like a Christmas tree.
I made this gif that shows the thing.

You can do a simple logic system to automatically crack when the storage tank for the especific fluid is full, and stop cracking when not. I'm not in front of my PC but if i remember correctly, you connect each fluid from the refinery to 2 pumps side by side, both pumps conected to the respective st...

Hello! I'm currently trying to figure out how to evenly discharge a 20 fluid car train carrying oil from really far away and then load them in small 1-2 fluid trains in the main base. My problem is discharging them evenly. My OCD dosen't allow me to just unload them without being even on all cars! S...

Like, i have a way closer artillery turret (outside the minimum range) and it is always the farthest turret, sometimes opposite side of my base that fires, making the ordinance delivery take way longer than it needed to be. Why is that?

Ahh, ok. I did not realized what it said on the asterisk description. Just assumed Everything means all signals and their values.
Thank you for the explanation.

Hello fellow engineers. I'm trying to make a smart station for a really far away outpost to deliver building supplies. I'm not a complete noob with logic in this game relating to simple systems, but i can't figure out why is this particular situation not working. So i'm trying to make a decider in t...

It's very annoying when i stop my artillery train for some reason and the canons start shooting at random nearby enemy bases, calling in a horde of biters to my location. So i think it would be much better if the wagons or the whole train had a button to turn them off when needed.

However, doing 2-8 * 10 trains would not suit me because the train would be absurdly long […] While I agree that a train of one hundred vehicles (locos + wagons) is absurdly long, I fail to see how a train of 89 vehicles wouldn't be. Myself, I've only used 1-2 (fluid trains) and 1-3 (solid cargo) t...

Thank you for the explanations! Yes, i now notice the diference of sizes between train units. However, doing 2-8 * 10 trains would not suit me because the train would be absurdly long and with unnecessary pulling power, also, the 1-9 would not work also because that would mess me up with the uneven ...

Hi there. I am having the worst game breaking thing right now with these weird train lengths mechanics. So, i have a 80+9 ore train that i plan on unloading on 8 stations. To to that, the train will advance every 8 cars so it can unload the remaining behind. But i can't set the stop stations because...

Hi there,
Was wondering if any engineer here could help a brother out and share a layout for a 12 to 18 balancer? Or a 12 to 9? Was looking to evenly unload 3 train stations, each with four wagons across 18 lanes of smelters (or 9 counting them as arrays instead of the smelter row).
Thank you!
