First of all, thank you for the incredible work you’ve put into Factorio! I recently saw your Factorio Friday Facts post mentioning language improvement suggestions, but I couldn’t get around to posting my feedback until now. I hope it’s not too late to share an idea that could enhance the Korean ...

I created a script on my PC when my disk writes go above a certain rate for a sustained period because unknowingly I had chrome eat 20% of my disk remaining life over a single year just becuse I left on twitch streams (which is either a problem w/ twitch or chrome).

I haven't played factorio in a ...

I repeated your methodology and got the same difference in perfomance. System wasn't thermal throttling before. But to eliminate randomness from Ryzen precision boost overdrive I set system to run on a manual fixed clock.

Issue

I was testing reducing my memory timings and was benchmarking factorio ups with map downloaded from site above. I noticed a measurable drop in performance and after further testing ...

Once an entity is destroyed, it's immediately replaced by a ghost on top of it once you get bots. The auto ghost functionality is definitely necessary but it does reduce the visibility of the remnants significantly. I wish there was better unity between remnants and ghosts so that you could enjoy ...

Here's a log of high science density bases. Most of them include military.

That other thread is under no circuit ufortunately. It would be nice if there was one thread for all science sushi designs.

Regardless, here's my take on it.

Very simple and compact. Can support 62 labs for 1kspm. Simple circuit with counter. Belt enables until it counts up to 900. The ...

Ok. It's probably better practice to read belt contents instead anyways.

Expected Behavior
An item loaded into Infinity chest w/ Removed unfiltered items checked appears for a single tick before disappearing

Unexpected Behavior
Depending on placement location, the infinity chest shows the item for a single tick or never shows the item appearing at all.


I used the ...

Just when I'm happy and satisfied and my expectations low. I'm presented with new things that gets me really excited again. Those last three points are really enticing.

Version 4! Extremely happy with this design. I was able to get absolutely everything on one belt!

I didn't think I could get the output on the same belt as the input as the feed was full compression and the output inserter has no space for it ...

Version 3. Made it full 8 beacon coverage along with simplifying inserter logic. Assemblers started pausing a bit. It's not bottlenecked by the sushi system but by the fact that the resources are limited to one belt.

My favorite addition is ...

Version 2. Much better logic. Previous version had a small error rate which was fixed. Better implementation cut down combinator use by 40%. Throughput also improved significantly and assembler downtime is practically eliminated.

My previous ...

Goal

-Sushi belt for uneven products (sushi for equal products is relatively simple)

-No loops (Loops to recycle products back in is the ez way out)

Sushi belt logic

A good recipe to test with this ...

I've been keeping a record of high science density bases . I was able to achieve the highest science density among belt based bases while bot based bases remain ...

Procedure
1. Bring up cut tool using CTR + X
2. Hold shift as you select area
3. The edit blueprint window pops up and you can edit what you want to cut

Unexpected Behavior
After finishing editing blueprint, the selected entities aren't marked for deconstruction.

Expected Behavior
The ...

Oooh, neat. How far can that be extended before you exceed the inserter throughput?


Doubled it up as quick test and it still worked at full capacity. For burner the max should be, (1.8item/second * 1.21 GJ fuel) = n * 0.0018 GW . So 1210 boilers not taking into account power consumption by the ...

I like your tripling up on boiler idea.

I made a late-game compact version.
With nuclear fuel and max stack upgrade, you can daisy-chain down the middle too. Removed unnecessary power poles and switched to turbine for compactness.

Maybe two blueprints, the first one without pipes and the second one pipes only?

How about fraction cracking?


The pipes isn't the problem unfortunately. The problem is it requires a setup process where you have to pump fluids in to the system to 'prime' the pumps with the correct fluids so it ...

No blueprint cause you can't blueprint it :/
