local newvalue = (oldvalue * 7) % 4294967296

will instantly give you a new pseudo random value. the 7 and 4294967296 are mutually prime the radix (7) must be greater than 1 and less than the modulus (4294967296) the returned number is an integer between 0 and the modulus-1. That is the quick and ...

I am also getting an error trying to download from the website. The download mysteriously fails after 10-20MB and is not resumable. I have slow internet 60KB's (600Kbps) so it may be a timeout issue, but it should be resumable.

Get error message unable to connect different fluids, or something like that. Which prevents connecting the water line to a refinery that is set to basic refining. or to set basic refining on a refinery that has water connected.

To repeat. Set up a refinery. Connect oil to the always oil side. Set ...

Here is my 5 x7 segment display, expandable https://factorioprints.com/view/-LQ2Jc7-Tx_HOna9ITB6

It uses more gates than other but the color of the output can be changed and it updates every tick, with a 5-6 gate delay between the input changing and the new value being reflected in the output, but ...

...there IS NO WAY to TOTALLY LOCK a path...


Thats why im suggesting it here in the suggestions section.


Circuit network can send red signal = 1 to a light to lock it red.

A red signal does not always prevent a train from selecting a path. It only gives the pathfinder a penalty for ...

Instead of targeting where the biter used to be literally 10 seconds ago, ans so always missing. Have it begin laying down a lake of fire in a sweeping motion starting from its minimum range and progressing outward. Currently they are almost entirely worthless against single biters or small fast ...

Can all be easily done with circuit networks. An arithmetic combinator. Wire its input to its output. Settings are Green Plus 1 Output Green.

This will count up at 30 ticks per second.

To have something trigger every e.g. 10 seconds. Add an arithmetic combinator wire its input to the above clocks ...

The two signals are a bit confusing at first. Mostly they are misnomered. The 3 light signal will be red if there is a train in the path following it, green if there is no train is the next block. It can also be yellow or blue in certain situations. The singe light signal will copy the state of the ...

The way i handle the oil system is using the break down factory's which get toggled by a combinator if there is a shortage.

For example the breakdown factory from benzine to gas get's toggled when gas is below 500 in the nearby tank.
If benzine is lower then 500 the breakdown factory's get ...

So basically you want two entities. A Charging station to recharge teh suits batteries while standing on it, and a discharge station for powering a network from the suits panels/reactors/batteries. Shouldn't be too difficult to write a mod that implements that behavior. Perhaps require a suit item ...

No, those do not address the issue. Which is that I need a train to continue to a stop even though the train stop is disabled after the train begins its trip. Currently the behavior is that if the stop is disabled, the train will immediately reroute to the next stop in its list. For example - The ...

Try using a basewide network by connecting all the major power poles via red and/or green wires. Buffer outputs to the network with arithmetic combinators that simply output the desired signal, e.g. green * 1 output green or green + 0 output green. This isolates the network from stray local ...

+1

Currently train stations can signal only 2 states, enabled or disabled. I propose a third status 'passive'. Which reads as disabled to all trains not already headed to the station, but reads as enabled to trains already enroute. The reason is currently, a station must remain enabled until a train ...

1/60 of a second is the time it takes an item, e.g. a copper plate, to move one space on a blue conveyor. Speeding up or slowing the UPS max would effect conveyor speeds. Besides, your eyes can't even see 60 frames per second, let alone 120. You are fooling yourself if you think you can. it's more ...

Personal Roboport 2 (probably also effects roboport 1) stops reacting to deconstruction flags. Robots simply don't deploy. Reloading the game doesn't help, only resetting the roboport by removing it from the armor and reinserting it fixes the issue.

Severity - Game breaking until manually reset ...

Diesel train - runs on petroleum (crude, heavy, light, or gas which is pumped into the engine section.
Electric train - runs on battery power. Recharges when it passes over or stops on an electrified rail section.

For the diesel different fuels would give different speed bonuses, with crude being ...

When zoomed in in map mode, not the zoomed out mode but the zoomed in mode, the information on an ore deposit, e.g. Uranium Ore 569K is cut off if the text extenda from a region that is not revealed by the radar into a region that is.
