Map exchange string.

Won't that save everything about that specific world? I don't want an exact world duplication. Just the settings.

Hmm... Well, since that was suggested 7.5 years ago, I sense that it won't be happening.

Thanks. I did a search, but must have used the wrong search terms.

When I start a new game, I never never never want enemies. I always disable that. Also, no cliffs. There are other resource tweaks that I make, but every time I start a new game, it's not always easy to remember. Sure, no enemies or cliffs is a no-brainer, but sometimes I think, "Well, I think ...

Yeah, that will be the question. Just making more and more complex recipes and some fancy graphics won't cut it. Yes, this will be a wait and see for me as well. Factorio is definitely one of my favorite all-time games, but I could see a new design crew taking it in a direction I don't want to go. ...

Last night someone posted a screenshot of an error he got regarding boblogistics. I posted that I was getting the same error. This morning, it seems that both posts have been deleted. Did we do something wrong?

I'm seeing this error on start with boblogistics. I have disabled all other mods.

I got the exact same thing.

Do you a general feel for when updates for 0.18 might come around? I have no idea how much work it takes. If it was going to be just a day or two, I'd live without playing (I could use some time off). If it might be a while, I'll back up to 0.17.x.

I'm fine with that. As long as there's some math that I'm not misunderstanding.

Hey Bob, since robots get built so fast, can you give us an assembler that can build all four levels of robots depending on what materials are available?

Another question... If I'm reading this right, the tier 4 logistic robot is constructed in half a second. It requires 1 tier 4 flying robot frame, which takes 20 seconds to construct. So if I were to create an optimized factory to create tier 4 robots, I'd need 40 assemblers just to make the frames?...

Excellent. Thanks!

Heat Pipe 3 is an ingredient in a couple of the third tier nukyaler components. Aside from that, is there any benefit to using it in place of the regular heat pipe when connecting reactors to heat exchangers?

Der. Sorry to waste everyone's time. It's been a while since I played and I really thought that 5x5 was the max.

Doubtful. What might be wrong?

What does the research "Long Inserters 2" give me? Without it researched, I checked and if I try to configure an inserter, I have the full 5x5 grid of locations with no gaps.

I tried IR back when it first came out. After playing a couple non-IR games, I'd like to continue with my original IR save. I've disabled the conflicting mods (bobs, squeak-thru, etc.) and re-enabled IR. However, when I load my game back in, I get a lot of failures that generally point to a missing ...

Checking my power usage, electric furnaces use up the most juice, but robot charging points are an uncontested second. I generally place them willy nilly, but do they use up electricity when not in use, or only when charging a bot?

Thanks, Bob. I hate how much real estate a train station takes up, but in the end, pipes aren't a whole lot less.

I've got a question. I'm sure this must have been discussed before, but I searched around in this thread and couldn't find what I'm looking for. Especially in the late game, I find myself needing to move massive amounts of liquid from here to there. My 500 boilers need water from yonder lake way ove...

It's not "Currently supported", but someone took care of it , or has tried to. Not tried it personally. Mod discussion page doesn't look too promising, mind. Thanks for that. I gave it a quick try, but it failed upon load, so I just disabled it. It's not a massive problem (so far). For th...
