Corsair's Vengeance memory is not ECC capable. Running Memtest86+ would be a good first troubleshooting step.

The Asus motherboard listed seems to be a standard ATX-style; what Case is it mounted in? Plexiglass side-panels do not provide much protection against RF interference (eg, Microwave ovens ...

Currently, if you have areas of the factory that are deliberately separated (in terms of robot networks and power) there is no way to transfer information through a circuit wire between them.

Version 2.0 added the ability to connect Radars to the Circuit Network , allowing for wireless signal ...

Roboports seem to get an initial small amount of energy in their energy buffer when placed.


More specifically: freshly placed roboports will have their energy buffer filled with 0.25 × recharge_minimum energy.

The base game sets this value to 40 MJ , which is 10MJ of "free" energy.

Good Luck!

I appreciate when the Author of a Mod is honest enough to disclose that they have used "AI" tools for the code or graphical assets of their Mod - so that I can ignore it completely.

Can you think of a way to disable your provider stations until a requester station exists? or perhaps even until a requester station can actually use the train? (Circuit network)

Wire the Requester stations to a global Circuit network (or Radar) to send a "Demand signal" when they are actually ...

128130 has some technical insight into the reasoning.

Ouch. It pains me to see people upcycle things by recycling them into themselves rather than craft-recycle loops.

Direct-recycling of Holmium Plates is mechanically simple: 1 Ingredient yields the exact same Ingredient, at a higher quality. No backpressure or intermediate shortage forms anywhere ...

It sounds like you got Lucky! With 4x Quality Module 3 (+24.8%) and using only Recycling you need approximately 2700 Normal Input items to get one Legendary Output items . The Mech Armor recipe calls for 200 Holmium plates (plus an extra 25 for the Superconductors, and 100 for the Supercapacitors ...

Machines have an Inventory that holds multiple Items. Tiles can have multiple Items in different spots, but only 1 item per spot.

Items are dropped onto the ground 1 at a time, because the Ground does not support Item Stacking. This puts the Inserter into "Target full ...

Add the ability to disable quality modules in a machine based on a circuit condition.

At the moment the only way to stop quality production is to remove the quality modules

Yes, but also No! Speed modules provide a negative Quality effect:

That is the symbol for “No electric connection”, because there is no Power Pole. Try placing one in range of both entities and it should function fine.

The “no energy” symbol is Red.

Because Quality was invented long before 1.0 was finished ; it just did not get merged into the Game Engine until 2.0 / Space Age. The early design of Platforms goes all the way back to FFF-74 , written in 2015. I can’t make out the text in the whiteboard photograph well enough to tell if Quality ...

Just in case you don't know, quality is already a mod you can disable in the mods menu.

The “Space Age” mod requires the Quality mod, so no, you really cannot do this and still play the DLC. You can simply not-research Quality (or use a Mod which disables its effects entirely ), but you cannot ...

This could be accomplished in a Mod by adding "In-Between" Quality Levels which provide no additional benefits, eg:
Normal
Uncommon
Uncommon+
Rare
Rare+
Rare++
Epic
Epic+
Epic++
Epic+++
Legendary


This is similar to QualityPlus , but without raising the bonuses for the intermediate ...

What exactly is the asteroid collector navmesh used for? Just for picking asteroids?

Yes; it is re-computed each time an Asteroid Collector (or Platform Tile) is added/removed. It is used to determine where the Arms can/not path through Space. Doing this "once" when the environment changes is ...

Carbonic Asteroids make Carbon & Sulfur - useful for Coal Synthesis, Explosives, and Plastic.
Metallic Asteroids can be smelted directly Iron/Copper in a Furnace; no point in using the Foundry recipes with high-grade Inputs since Liquids "reset" to Normal quality. You can get Unlimited Liquid Iron ...

Spoiling Promethium is available as a Mod; I like the version that makes them explode.
