Someone on Reddit suggested a condition that would test against remaining fuel Mj. This way you don't need to test for low specific fuel type(s). If fuel Mj is low, go refuel. If you change fuel type in the refueling station later on, the train doesn't even need to know.

Many of them flew off far away to drop-off the trash they picked from the character inventory

Doh! Such a simple explanation. It didn't occur to me they were taking from us, I was thinking they were only refilling from the chests. Thanks.

With this new feature, we can set all the roboports near our resupply point to always have 100 logistic robots available. Once we arrive, our needs are serviced in record time, and afterwards you can see robots arriving to get the roboport back up to 100. In the example animation, it seemed the rob...

You've gone too far!

Attaching the factorio-current.log as instructed. Thanks.

Would the pumps outputting directly into a tank get the same result? So you wouldn't even need pipe from the center point to the tanks, just have the pumps go right to the tanks and not draw from the tank unless it has over some minimum amount to be sure it never runs empty (and gets wrong fluid). A...

Anyone know if this is fixed in 0.15 from the changes to fluids?

nou_spiro on Reddit pointed this out: Hmm actually 0xFFFF seems invalid accordig to RFC1624 Since there is guaranteed to be at least one non-zero field in the IP header, and the checksum field in the protocol header is the complement of the sum, the checksum field can never contain ~(+0), which is -...

You just need to keep belt under certain capacity. Use some logic to stop all inputs once the belt is full enough. Couldn't get this one to work though, without significant (and therefore probably unintended) amount of complexity. The question's answered though :) If you want to see some old school...

Was playing MP on a European server today and the oddest thing was happening. When the Russian players would speak English we could all see it, but when they speak Russian (I assume using a Russian character set?) their chat messages were just empty spaces although you could still see punctuation ma...

An idea I saw on reddit would be if turrets don't fire at spawners/bases/buildings. Then you still have to kill the bases yourself even if you creep to protect yourself from the actual enemy units.

I find if I use the in-game server browser and just sort by players and then quickly join a server, I don't have any issues. However if I sort by players, then sort by time, and click on multiple servers to glance at the players list... it's pretty likely when I finally do click Connect I'll get an ...

In terms of storing heat in an item, it reminds me of a chemical heating pad my mother had years ago. You'd boil it to "melt" the inside back into a liquid and store it. When you need the heat, you click a little catalyst/metal thing inside the pad and it starts a chemical reaction that co...

If this won't make it into v14 I hope you'll consider it for v15.

In my experience, Everything > 10 evaluates more like Nothing < 11.

What a fantastic explanation.

Perhaps just "Open Research after completion".

I refined and simplified my test case to avoid confusion. Wire a chest to two lights. Set one light to "Everything > 10" and the other light to "Anything > 10". http://puu.sh/rVoab/2f13da1c0d.jpg http://puu.sh/rVobt/5ff333ba27.jpg (I just learned "Everything" means &quo...

I guess no signal counts as less than 0, because the design as demonstrated works fine as-is, but only with the "everything < 0" test. So perhaps "everything < 0" being true when there's no input is in fact a bug? Or maybe a hidden feature. Ultimately it felt odd to me "ever...

PS: An option to "prevent the game from pausing when opening the research window" whould be great as well tho ;) The work around for that is just load your game as multiplayer instead of single player. :) Set a password or run it hidden if you don't want anyone joining you, but then resea...

Sure. We have a train loading setup with 24 chests. Using the "each" condition in the Combinator divided by -24: http://puu.sh/rUAmu/9eeb93a5ed.jpg The inserters are wired to the combinator and the chest, with "Everything < 0", so they only fill if their chest is below the averag...
