If they don't allow retries of segments, then it's not segmented, not to mention the last caveat would be a pretty big deal for those competing at the top.

A bit late, but this was bothering me.

Also i think it's not healthy to play 15 hours in a row, a bit like extreme sport were it's not a good advise to tell people to train to do back flip on rooftop until they can make it despite it being some people's job.

Speaking also of the ...

It means that you need the tech unlocking barrels as a pre-requisite to pumpjacks (and later, blue science).
While railway is only a pre-requisite to purple science.
While fluid wagon (and train stop + signals) are dead ends (and relatively expensive too).

P.S.: To be fair, Car => Tank => Uranium ...

You could just have linked to the bug report directly ?

But I'm pretty sure that this is a different issue, AFAIK this only worked when loading onto splitters from the side, while loading splitters from behind always (?) had the same effect of ...

No, my first suggestion would require a complete rework of at least how recipes and productivity are displayed, and also maybe how they even work.

The second one is just about tweaking some infinite tech numbers.

Why is this 6 to 1 lane balancer not fully compressed? I used a very popular 6 to 1 train unloading blueprint for my gleba science here but the belt is not fully compressing. It's 6 stack inserters which is far enough to fully compress a 4 stack turbo belt (14400 items per minute). As you can ...

The first one or this one ?

For this one :
- You know from practice that the maximum productivity you can get for a recipe, without infinite techs, is ×A.
- So you make it so that each subsequent productivity tech level has a smaller effect, and the cumulative effect of that infinite series is ×B ...

The back/forward system (tied to the mouse keys 4 and 5) is indeed quite powerful, I've learned to appreciate it.

But then I hardly noticed this issue to start with, so take this with a grain of salt.

I gave you an alternative.

The asymptotic solution (where higher infinite research levels stay relevant) might also be implemented without redoing the productivity concept from the ground up, in an ad-hoc fashion for vanilla (knowing what the maximum productivity is possible otherwise).

(Unless ...

Looks like you need a lane balancer ? (The above doesn't look like a lane balancer, just belt balancer ?)
EDIT : Or, actually it is (lane balancing being at the beginning) maybe you just don't have enough science packs ?

Added camera views to Space platform tooltips.

Very nice !

Barrels are a funny example, because they are a much more core tech than trains (and especially than fluid wagons), and in particular are what you would use (with car) if you wanted to rush oil derivatives (like weapons and conbots).

So what do you do to expand conbots/logibots ? Ship them / frames / electric engines from Nauvis ?

I wonder if separate tutorials for each planet would help people who are having a hard time starting out. The existing tutorial doesn't really cover the other planets. Personally I like not knowing WTF to do and having to figure it out, but extra planet-specific optional tutorials wouldn't hurt ...

Yeah, right, in fact now I remember that I took care to always have 250 electric engine units dropping with me.

But in the end, I still always ended up setting up electric engine production before leaving, on all of the planets, because I wanted to have sustainable bot production for remote work.

This is the case for most things in Factorio. Default settings are tailored for fist time players. Space Age on default settings is still tailored for players that don't have hundreds of hours under their belts (with some concerns about that for Gleba).
So what ?

Wasting time is a quite interesting ...

It will take HOURS to get this tree farm overproducing seeds again
Maybe if you use the above design you made.

A quick recap of this sub-discussion :
you : «I'm running out of seeds»
us : «try to not waste seeds (and use productivity)»
you : makes a design that can only work by wasting seeds (or ...

I think it will be very dificult to set up something that can be sustainably left to its own devices for hours on end with out atleast a minimum of ciruit network stuff.
If we're talking about specifically this issue, then it really isn't :
- just don't overproduce raw fruit
(not using a box to ...

Did the FFFs really describe all of them ?

Anyway, this is more about the metis of setting up the production chains yourself than the episteme of reading it on the FFFs.

Well, looks like a mod like this already existed before you even started this thread :
