Yeah, exept it can and has caused issues with big trains looping in on themself when they could have avoided it if it recognised itself.
Fixing this would cause many roundabout bases to break...

A train does not respect normal train behaviour when a train blocks itself.


Note, it is a proper collision. Bots just repaired the damage.

Twinsen, I dont know if you're still reading this section but, why can you move UI elements? You can't build with UI open or have multiple instances of UI open. So, why can you move them?

Has anyone ever used this functionality?

For the pollution Map calculations: you might be able to further optimise it by dividing all the tiles chunks into 60 and always updating one of those chunks pieces. The Advantage is that you don't have to skip so many tiles chunks with each Access which should greatly improve Cache locality and th...

I have found alot of weirdness in boilers/steam engines aswell, I have not had the time to post an elaborate bug report about it but what it comes down to is this: in the old version 1 pump, 14 boilers, 10 steam engines would heat the water up to 100 degrees and provide all steam engines with water ...

Is this only with oil? Because you can test it way more accurate with assemblers and items.

My guess is that it is due to rounding errors.

This is not a bug, This is a design flaw. Only use regular signals at the end of a junction. Not at the start The intersection ran flawlessly for 40 minutes before locking when I tried recording the bug. It's not a design problem. Regardless of the position and type of my signals, a yellow signal m...

Looks like some wires got crossed somewhere in the code, the top right signal becomes reserved by error or out of sequence

Are you sure?

Would love the nuclear update! its a good fit, we already have "easy to setup, low risk coal power" "Costly, lots of room, no risks solar panels." now we need something that consumes alot of power and generates alot of power for the ones that feel more lucrative.

Do you or have you ever run mods on your save?

It might have something to do with experimental versions or commands you ran. However I have not kept up with whats allowed and not allowed for achievements.

cube spent some time doing computer stuff

Very informative Friday Fact indeed! Keep it up Kappa

CGP Grey is a "youtuber" who explains mostly historical events but also explains common misconceptions, science facts/fiction, recent events and even made a parody on "react world" by the finebros. In his latest video "Should all locks have keys? Phones, Castles, Encryption,...

I had questions about the loader but I can defnitely live with that inserter, It closes the gap between bots and belts without being too OP or too easy to use.

I've always liked belts and inserters more than bots and this could bring inserters back.

Another increase in cargo wagon size? I feel like the 30 we have now is good enough (as in trains dont get too big to handle) but it all depends on what the advanced ore processing is going to do.

About the 'Loader", Pros: 1) High throughout support for belt loading/unloading. 2) Makes belts (and trains) more relevant in comparison to robots in the late game. 3) Train stations could be more compact and faster to build. 4) High capacity storage based on belts would be easier to build and ...

[quote="Tomas]view real-time any part of the map covered by radars.[/quote]

Nice, I have my entire base covered by 81+ radars, Now they'll finally be used for something other than watching trains. (Which I do alot)

I see, I found a quote from kovarex Ok, we decided to close this as not a bug. a) It is direct result of the world simulation logic b) It can be used as mechanics. It has always bugged me because when lines "Back up" the yellow inserters ARE able to grab the Items. I did some more tests an...

Place a few straight pieces of Express Transport Belts and put a yellow inserter halfway, When dropping Items on any side of the Express Belt the yellow inserter will reach out but will not be able to grab said Item. I'm running the latest (.12.22) version of factorio and have been able to reproduce...

These builds remind me very much of the Fast Fourier

Thats because they are!
As you can see a good design requires custom 4, 8 and higher balancers in order to avoid symmetry.

Why are you using 12.20 instead of 12.22?
