Underground belts have many issues related to wires and belt contents. They were discussed and rejected.

Good Luck!

Are you sure it doesn’t work? I have not tried “Each” myself in schedules.

It is possible to put the anything signal in a train condition; while there is no visual indicator of the circuit condition it operates just fine.

2.1.7 Changelog includes:
Changes

• Added fluidbox_index to simple coal liquefaction in the same way basic oil processing has.

This appears to be an intentional change to bring parity with the other Oil Processing recipes.

Good Luck!

It case you haven’t noticed, the released version is 2.1.7, not 2.1. That should tell you something.

The first (publicly!) released version of the 2.0.X branch was 2.0.7 . This indicates to me that Wube takes their time by iteratively applying fixes during internal testing before release, rather ...

Yes, the Factorio Demo is "just" a slightly-cut-down version of the Base Game. It is intended to guide you towards purchasing a full License if you enjoy the game mechanics. Analysis of the data/base/ resources included with the Demo shows that almost the entire contents of the Base Game is present ...

Day Phase Adjuster has support for 2.0 & Space Age planets
Diurnal Dynamics adds even more nighttime mechanics.

Good Luck!

This may already exist? The linked section of FFF-441 actually says:

On a platform you can filter the channels by current location to get missing planet materials or available cargo, and implement whatever logic you might like to control and command your fleet.

I wonder if 2.1 inserter flipping also flips the pickup lane...


Unlikely; that feature appears to move only the Dropoff position according to the movement of the yellow “triangles” in the FFF-442 screenshot. The Pickup location (straight line) is unmoved in the demo GIF while switching lanes ...

A circuit connected wall sounds pretty silly


Circuit wires can be connected to Wall "ghosts", which persists after it is Built/Revived, or Blueprinted:

This can be used to create a Sensor - if Biters eat part of the wall then the Circuit is broken, activating an ...

Ghost Painter allows you to change the GhostTintSet properties in-game. Or you can find them in utility-constants.lua.

I agree that this would be nice-to-have as a Setting, but this is Factorio - everything can be modded.

Good Luck!

I guess it has something to do with which lane the inserter prioritizes.

Yes, from the Wiki again:
If the belt is the same/opposite orientation of the inserter or a curve, the inserter prefers taking from the left lane, from the belt's perspective.

It is not a mod problem. There is nothing in the code that would create those messages; this comes out of the engine.


This looks exactly like the "cidl-drop-near" message from ChangeInserterDropLane .

Inserters:
Inserters may have problems picking up items:

From very fast belts, because the items are moving too quickly.
From the entry or exit of an underground belt (because the time they have to pick up is shorter)
From turning belts if the item is on the inside of the corner



When ...

The maximum wire reach is determined by the lessor of either end of the connection - it is not the Big Power Pole which is limiting the circuit_wire_max_distance - it is pretty explicitly set at the prototype stage to use these constants.

Good Luck!

is this just a tooltip inaccuracy?

Yes, in-game tooltips display rounded numbers to an arbitrary position; not the internal game-engine values. When benchmarked over 6000 ticks this setup produces 10309.2781 units of Steam / 100 Seconds = 103.09278 1 per second.

You may find this interview with kovarex to be interesting as it comes “directly from the developers”. According to the translated transcription:
