Thanks, lots to look forward to. Any idea if it will be ready this week?

Sounds like it could be fixed without breking our nice self-feeding burner coal miner array setups :) I wouldn't mind if burner miners kept higher (double?) amount of coal in stock or something, though. Right, I use that setup but after a while the maximum of 64 becomes too constraining. Usually I ...

You're referring to my suggestion? It's weaker than robots since you still have to go through the construction site.

Well, having a whole ore/coal unit intact in the temporary inventory is an edge case. Usually only a fraction of the resource remains, so it makes sense you will not collect it.

We also had a lengthy discussion about the blueprints and building robots. That is something we would like to do rather soon. This should take away the "grinding" part of the game (extending the furnace lines, building simple assembling machine setups, building solar panes, etc.) Blueprin...

In the "Load game" menu, if I click on a savegame, and quickly click on another savegame, the latter game will be loaded as if I double-clicked on it. This is a problem when I'm trying to browse my saves, loading should only be done if the same save is clicked on twice. This problem might ...

This seems to be very old, not sure if bug or feature. Most buildings have a limit on how many resources an inserter will put into them before it stops and gives a chance to buildings further down the line to get some of the action. Apparently, burner mining drill doesn't have such a limit for coal....

When "Use item groups" is unchecked, I don't get the old item interface; rather, the items still appear in groups, but I'm unable to switch between groups.

I'm not sure if it's obvious or already been answered, but what are the hotkeys for the extra toolbelt? Is it 6-0 and Shift + 6-0? PS I'm happy to see the 1280x1024 electric info resolved, I freaked out when I saw the problem persisted in 0.7.0... And of course amazing changes in 0.7.x, it's like a ...

It's not Taxicab metric. It's the Chebyshev metric (Total distance is maximum of x and y distances).

The higher the raw costs in items produced, the bigger the overall gain from productivity bonuses. However, using them on end-item assemblers can be counter productive if that item isn't in constant production. Optimal placement is a matter of the highest res cost item that's being constantly produ...

They are. Used properly, they are much more powerful than any of the other modules.

ssilk wrote:BTW: There seems to be a bug, because I saw sometimes items with "-1" in the list.

It's a feature. It means there is a bot on the way and that even if 1 more item is added, the bot will pick it all up.

On topic: With the modules and bigger factories and usage of logistic bots to feed all that stuff (see this https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1205#p8434 ) the need for resources gets so big, that I don't know how to build that all without trains, because when playing with ne...

Tried it with 0.6.4 and the problem still exists.

Any updates? Should I post again in the main Bug Reports section?

Here I begin normally to produce the first logistic bots. 10-20 or so are enough. The distances must be short! I use them only to bring the four different items to the blue potion assembly street I did that in one game, but since creepers can attack bots it would completely mess it up; and building...

Hm. Btw. Do you have any problems with the logistic bots? I think this is exactly the use of them! And this means, that the logistic bots are your very early target, yes? I would like to see the factory just before you could built that. :) I found that logistic robots are too expensive to be effect...

edit2: Now I got it! You never played to the end. Finished the rocket defense? What follows is... I do not say more, but you cannot do that with lasers. Just much to few energy! PS: I think most of you never played with creepers switched to rich. Do that! :) I'm mopping the floor with the rocket de...

It's almost as if I'm playing a different game from you guys. I've never loaded a gun turret with an inserter, and I've never used piercing magazines with turrets. I start with a turret or two with magazines I load manually, that's enough for a while. Later I make one magazine assembling machine (pr...
