Yep, works best that way. I still have PAX station(s) at every subfactory just in case I need ridiculous amounts of stuff, but most of the time I have a centralized storage/pickup station.

Hm...Took me a minute to understand what you meant, but I get what you're trying to do. What I would do for inventory/backlog management is this: Do what you've suggested, except instead of do backlog for the entire sub-factory, limit how much is in the output chests using a curcuit network. If you ...

Nah take out the one to the south if we haven't already

I'm back in

Huh. The mirror worked; took seconds to download. Now I'm confused, because I can connect to the server :/

I'll be on soon if anyone cares to join me.

EDIT: It appears the only problem I'm having is downloading the mods, nothing else. Might be a problem with the link, my computer might be doing something wierd, I don't know.

I hope this continues!

*Sigh* Must be my internet again. Keeps on saying "Network Problem", so I restarted the network. Repeatedly.

Mod download seems to be broken

Cool.

On a side note: I used the modulo system to create a decimal to binary converter. I haven't setup the other way yet. I also used it to find the largest possible number in Factorio (2147483647 or 2^32-1)

This is impressive.

Dr. Walrus, your system works flawlessly. Even at a speed of several hundred items per seconds, it still keeps up

I haven't checked out XKinght's yet.

Many of those things need red circuits as well - do you have a red circuit plant at each of the "sub factories"? And does that mean you route oil to each of the plants to make plastic as needed? (e.g. science needs red, military robots need speed module = red+blue, your catch-all will cer...

Yes, that's what clapping is

Sorry for being confusing

Honestly, I think the speed boots are a bit ridiculous. 22 makes you teleport around, and lets you run through walls; 5 makes you several times faster than normal legs, or that's what it looks like to me.

Cool. I'll get those, and see what I can do for my mode

Green curcuits has a seperate, normally fairly large factory. Gears are normally built on sight. Belts, inserters, powerpoles, and assembly machines get their own places. Dedicated furnaces take in ore and ship out plates (this is mainly so I can keep track of where plates are coming from). Military...

I have a feeling someone was tired of the earlygame, and wanted to get right to the good stuff
