W? It’s possible without any numbers, you can just multiply with the number of roboports times 50-70 for maximum number of bots per network. That’s of course a very rough estimate, but it works most of the time very well. Weeell, yes and no. You can calculate how many you CAN charge, but in a netwo...

TL;DR Roboports should output more stats for its robot network to help optimize them What ? Roboports today output 4 variables: Total and available logistics bots + total and available construction bots Pri 1 wish: The roboport should also output: - Total number of bots currently charging in the ne...

I like the new beacon concept, but the angles seems off on the module top right. It looks like it's far less vertical than the front one. It actually almost makes me feel uneasy. How about putting both in front, mirroring the left one so that the right one is facing right at the same angle as the le...

TL;DR In editor mode: Void requester chest, void pump, void chest where one can configure at what rate it should empty itself and infinity provider chest, pump and chest with configurable rate of filling. What ? Void entities where the player can set at what rate items fed to it will be voided. Inf...

After all the code rewrite for 0.17 and the devs confirming it as an undesired behavior back in 0.15, maybe it would be ok to have another look?

Situation: Train going full speed, thus reserving rail sections turning lights yellow, according to it's breaking distance. Modded game with train fuel giving trains speed of over 1400km/h so the number of reserved sections are a lot higher than normal. This shouldn't be the source of the core probl...

Modded game, started with crashing my ubuntu headless server after upgrade to 0.17.47. I downloaded and loaded the latest autosave in my local client. It takes a while to load then crashes the game after a minute or two just standing still not doing anything as a player. The crash happens consistent...

TL;DR

Train station is hard to see when then station track is facing south

What ?

Add the status lights on both sides of the station item when placed.

Why ?

Readability of situation when looking at stations

Looks great, and as long as it fixes circuit network "errors" where tanks read as 0, but still has fluid in them... I'm good!

could you explain the locomotive approach?

So I'm imagining a combinator/circuit box. Let's say a 4x4 size item where you can attach red and/or green wires as input, and red and/or green wires as output. The box itself can be opened much like the power armor "inventory". circuit box suggestion.png Inside this inventory, you can pla...

Thanks, I see that I'm not the first one with this problem... I'm close to start using only barrels because of this ^^

Looking forward to getting all my brilliant ideas shot down by even more brilliant people! :D Only problem with your feature request, is you have stated what you don't want to happen, but not what ...

After logging on to my dedicated server it only takes a few moments until a desync consistently occurs. Only one player online (me), running several mods. As a player I'm standing completely still, not doing anything. Desync report - https://www.dropbox.com/s/q0v7iq889m0aype/desync-report-2018-01-24...

[0.16.12] Connecting circuit network to train station to read train contents rounds down values from fluid wagons. This causes pumps to stop to soon and can often lead to non-empty wagons. This is a problem for multi-fluid stations. Mouseover a wagon shows 0.7 Oil, circuit network rounds down and sh...
