Personally, I still wish we'd got native crating instead of belt stacking, because that adds more logistics to handle.

There is the demo too ! it's not a video but after the video made me want to play the demo , i fell in love playing the demo and bought the game

A free demo is the best advertisement a game can have.

Depending on the implementation the combined chest could replace all others.

Ahh, I get it now. You want LTN, but with logi bots instead of trains.

Could you give a blueprint of something that does this using requester, buffer and active provider chests?

Might make it more clear what you're actually after.

Buffer chests are the combo requester/provider chest.

So you're asking for a combo requester/requester/provider/provider chest. Ie, a combo buffer/buffer chest.

Or...

A buffer chest.

I'm going to make a great big assumption based on your lack of information and lack of replies in your other topic that all the blue blocks are the same block.

The solution to that is to make them not all the same block.

Or you could provide enough information that we might be able to help.

So, buffer chests?

I'm fine for the requirement to be "when a window is open, mute the start screen".

That would be "always" then.

Because the main menu is just another window.

Title, pretty much.

Currently, combinators display of what operation they are doing (add, greater than, etc...) is hidden by the alt-mode display of what signals they're using.

If the alt-mode display also included the operation then that would make them massively more readable.

Let's focus on this for a minute. Wether you do mining productivity reasearch or not doesn't change the extra ore you get from the productivity modules. Similar wether you use productivity modules or not doesn't change the extra ore you get from productivity research. In both cases each module and ...

But what if I want them the "wrong" way? That lets you do really cool stuff!

It's not full-screen. It's just a very big window.

it draw the colored lines in the entire rails around the map

If all the lines are the same colour that means you only have a single rail block. The solution is to add more signals.

Loaders aren't going to be in vanilla anytime soon.

I'm not sure if I like this, it would be like having a 4x4 electric furnace, it would make perfect builds too easy.

Notice that most of the new buildings are odd-number sided.

Since they swapped names to stop "stack inserters do bulk transfers, bulk inserters do stack transfers" maybe a couple renames here aren't completely out of the question to stop "you can't put nuclear fuel in your nuclear reactor, you need nuclear fuel for that."

On the opposite, let's imagine a fully beaconed AM3 with speed modules everywhere possible producing basic (yellow) belts. Let's imagine this Assembling machine is fed with one yellow belt of iron plates, and one yellow belt of iron gear wheels by a fully upgraded stack inserter each. Switch the be...

This would break on intentionally underfed assemblers.

Which happen all over the place.

(It's why the rate calculator mod isn't as useful as you'd think)

The new "random other" combinator might let us do this.

I think it gives us a "output the highest value signal only" option?

But a miner gives you e.g 1.1 ore per second. So 13 miners will be 14.3 ore per second, not a full belt. And 14 miners would be 15.4 ore per second and you loose 0.4 ore per second for the sake of filling the belt. That's why you stick a compressor on the outputs of the miners. To turn those almost...

Here's the mod you want

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/player_re ... ing_layout

Regarding the mod you mention, I installed it and couldn't get it to work haha.

There's probably a fork that does then.
