Re: Basic Question about Ratios (Newbie)

Another way of looking into things is that the ratios are just guidelines. The math can get thrown off from minor to major, exponentially, depending on the distance of where the "actions" are taking place and how you are transporting things. Say for example, you have an electric mining dri...

Re: Is this efficient

Depends on what you plan on doing with the robots. Do you need all of those ports? I don't feel solar is inefficient at all for robotports. I used to power mine with nuclear until I got tired of managing the whole nuclear system and went with the easier to manage, less maintenance solar fields. Only...

Re: Friday Facts #341 - Audio, Artillery, Attenuation

On the topic of audio there is one feature that I never understood. Why does the volume change based on your zoom distance? I always pretend as though I am the character and not a sound/camera man in a chopper. Perhaps some people like it the way it is. An option to enable/disable this would be nice...

Re: Desert Seed

I've got some advice for you. I typically prefer to always start on a desert map. I just like the way it looks plus there's not a ton of cleanup when building things. It is a far different world though as you've noticed already. The first thing to keep in mind is patience. There's not much around to...

Choppy/Laggy Graphics

I've seen other posts possibly related to what I am experiencing. I'm looking to find a different route. I was playing this game last fall with 0 performance issues. None at all it worked perfect. Today the graphics are laggy and I see black boxes on the screen periodically. I am running on a clean ...

Re: Inserter throughput

Kitters, From my experience stack inserters are not the answer when you need fast input into a machine, especially one that makes circuits. I've done something similar to that ( my concept was to create as many free circuits as possible in the fastest way ). The main problem is stack size. The inser...

Re: Thinking of getting the game if there is ever some type of steam sale for the game.

Just buy it. It's not that much money, even as far as games go. This game blows alot of Big Company $60 releases well out of the water. Try out the demo and if its your thing then get it!

17.69 Feedback

Hello Developers, This seems to be the best place for feedback on the recent "experimental" update. I haven't found a single issue yet so it's solid as far as I can see. To be blunt and honest I was kind of skeptical after hearing some of the proposed changes. I thought the game would turn...

Re: Friday Facts #301 - Crash site: First state

I may be in over my head but have found many memory leaks to be the problem of faulty logic. The best part of programming is also the worst part of programming in that there are a ton of ways to do anything. The challenge is to find the shortest path. I'd be interested in looking at the snipped that...

Re: How do you calculate Pollution rates?

I found that some descriptions aren't...descriptive. The pollution rating with anything seems to be directly related to it's energy consumption. Speed directly increases energy consumption so you could think of it the same as increasing energy with prod mods. This is why efficiency modules are so ef...

Re: Distribute N amount of item into one or more buildings or containers

There's a couple ways of doing this. Either way you have to add an extra layer inserter. Even removal of items from a container would require multiple inserters pulling from a container. Max is 3 if you want an inserter to fill the container. 1- Using the example of 1000 coal, set up the Main contai...

Re: Logical circuit for storage

I kind of do that with my setups only in a different way. I set up circuits so that machines only take what they need. The materials go through the factory first. This is going to be difficult if you send a large amount of resources onto a one-way belt. You'd be better off dividing your factory into...

Re: Can someone please tell me how to properly signal this

This isn't the answer you are looking for. If that were my logistics, I would split the track into two. That way you don't have to deal with a train being stopped unless it's loading/unloading. Trains stopping without getting/moving items is a waste. Just by adding a bit of belts/underground belts y...

Two suggestions: 1 - Some kind of aircraft. If could require Flight, Engine, Maybe Logisitics 3? techs. Just an alternative to the car, tank, and train. All serve their purpose well but being able to fly over rocky terrain and forests would be nice. Doesn't even need to have a weapon just be able to...

Re: Evolution Factor Cap

Can't you change the rates in the base game setting when you create a new game?

I thought there was something there for pollution, killing, and time. If you're looking to stunt evo this is what I know that is available.

This depends on how many labs you plan on using, as this does not allow for the most compact space usage. It also requires the use...
