Hello, as i try to do some modding i have a few questions (asking them before trying in vain, because it don't is possible) * can a inserter generated, with a hard wired filter ? * can belts be made using/giving electricity ? * is it possible to have a secund rail-system (i have seen a categroy rail...

Albeit the gfx looks very good, i did not have any problem with the 'old' But the cut out of the underground-belt to feed the sideloading looks very like : shit, i need to make a hot fix cut out into the panel :lol: I would have found it more convincing when then undergound belt is only half the siz...

Yeah, something like that bob-light or halfed..... :lol: I decided to give it a little stab at modding myself....... :oops: I try not to break the base mod, more of an extension based on...... Thought i will include some little changes which will fill some holes in the base mod. I don’t know how far...

TL;DR add a signal-lamp atop the trainstation What ? As its somewhat difficult to see the light of the trainstation if its enabled or not i would suggest to place the signal not on the side (like currently and in reality). Place it atop the station like a beacon-light so that its visible from every...

The jump von vanilla to one of the big mod seems very far for me so i wanted to ask the comunity if there is/are some mods which steps in between the vanilla and on of the big mods (like bobs, 5dims, angels,.....)

I just could not find anything fittin......

Nice that we can blow up cliffs in the future... But i feel the thinking about explosion-range somewhat complicated. I would have gone this way : Define a cliff-explosives, fitting a single cliff-tile, so that a robot don't need to ask themself of explosionradius of other robots....... --> Robot can...

This is exactly what I think. Different people have different potential skill, and different taste for difficulty. Some people find Dark souls too easy and mod it to make it harder. Some others will never even pass the first opponent. I don't think Factorio should be targeted to the most hardcore p...

I would also like a expansion oft he game, while i feel its not entirely fitting in a futuristic game. But otherwise what else have the lone space farer at disposal when crashing on an alien planet....... 8-) But I think such a steam age could be realatively simple to achieve. • Define a fluid dubbe...

I’m currently playing around with adding segmented roboports to my train blueprints so that I can remotely push into biter territory. It’s tricky, but it’s going to be awesome if I can pull it off. ;) I currently try this also and my conclusion is : You need obvoiusly to include a roboport and rada...

Another achievment idea could be 'lawn mower' - in case you manage to mow down a certain high number of biter-Nests in a given time, say one minute...

currently experimenting with an automatic rail-building and solar fields. How do you do automatic rail-building? With a mod? you can place a blueprint in the map if its visible by radar... So just setup a delivery station with all needed things (Rails, Powerpoles, Signals, Stations, Roboports, Rada...

Thats a nice methode.... I have a similar approach, but only for a artilery train position defended by a bunch of lazers. -> so less things to transport I don't use a on-site approach of building the station, becaus my base will supply the needed bits over the course of time. currently experimenting...

could also add my suggestion for overspilling stack....

TL;DR When removing an assember, place overflow (or all) intregients in chests instead of on the surface What ? often when removing an assembler in later game with very much intregents they don't fit into the user storage. so if the user carry some chests, remove the assembler and for overflow intr...

So what is this for?

Stupid question

Because we can

So, i was at the just same point... And i resolved to : 1. Play with the existing map further and expand 2. i try out some mods which i find interessting, but are not changing the Base game 3. i try out some production / transportation concepts - currently playing with some bots for automatic expans...

As above mentioned. i would build onsite a train-station which will get the ore from the patch and feed it to the smelter array. by 1-4-1. if sometime you don't know what to do or the need for ore will expand open additional ore patches and feed them similar to the smelter. So in this way you only n...

Why connect a rail signal and not send to train and wait until circuit signal?

Hell yeah that also works - did not know that

I use a negative-means-want convention, so I'd have a constant combinator with how much of each item I want as a minimum buffer, -100 green wires and so on, wire that up to all the chests and a single Anything < 0 decider to call for a refill train. Thats a nice idea - but you have to adjust every ...

i found a little loop hole in it.

If a chest is totally empty there is no signal so the rail signal will not open due to waiting for a signal

so i added some deciders which will thow a signal if a chest is empty.... seems to work now....
