Re: Nullius by-product trains

I had a solutiuon which calls the trains to one stop and only this pump which carries the same fluid as the stopped train will come into action, when you read the train contend. The trains will be called when a tank falls below a certain threshold, so you can save some train-stops and keep it compa...

Re: Nullius by-product trains

I spaced the stops just enough that none of the pumps overlap a fluid wagon Nice! I ended up with the overlaps because I had started with a standard block design intended to support two and only two tiny trains. And because you can't unload fluid wagons on a curve, I couldn't add more stations at t...

It might help if you go for a more natural way of genering electricity, like harnessing the near infinite amount of Biter Power.
That could be indeed a nice start...

Adding some traps and such to get a base electricity from biters to start....

I like this idea

Signals as items

A shower though :

As things which can use singals (Trainstations / inserters....) can us globas Logistic-Network as Signal source.....

I thougt why not use Signals as items in the logisitc-Network....

so my outline would be catch all signals -> translate them to items and a recipe to build

Re: White board function / Better "Plan" a Factory on the map ?

The factorian way of planing / reserving some space would be a combination of two mods i would guess:

* Holographic sign mod
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/holographic_signs

* some laser lines

Re: Gravity Electricity storage / stone use

yes its just an akkumulator...... Main reason for me for this idea was just a use of excess stone. ie. if you play a game with the dirty ores you will get a ton of stones. The usual water-power using heighdiffernces is also a gravity energy storage, just with a fluid. The advantage of such gravity s...

Gravity Electricity storage / stone use

I often play with mods and also use the dirty ore mod. So i have an overflow of stones and they need to be disposed. As i recently read about water-energystorage, i came to the similar concept for gravity-storage (which basically is water energy). I would envisage a recipe which uses much stone to s...

Re: Sci fi novels and factorio?

Cryptonomicon (Neal Stephenson) is one of my all-time favorites i think really blew my mind that one. Though I wouldn't put it in the scifi genre, as it's 2/3 during WWII and 1/3 during the late 90, describing some of the early internet days. If you want scifi, I higly recommend Snow Crash by the s...

Gowing Ores / Threat Mod

As Factorio sure can use a more lively world i wanted to suggest a mod in the line of Growing-Ores. This mod is unfortunately depreciated and it seems like the author is lacking the time to continue this. I would have the vision, that not only ores also some mud/lava/plants could be growing to pose ...

And the last one should hand out then only one signal (to Station, or a rail signal)
