It is not possible to add a new parameter to a blueprint. This means that, for example, if there's only one parametrisable value in the blueprint it's not possible to use a formula to derive the final value based on user's input.

This is what 30 legendary railguns can max out at when going to like 400000km to shattered planet. 11-16-2024, 22-46-19.png This is 8 times (!!!) lower than their maximum combined theoretical consumption of ~0.86/s * 30 * 60 == 1548. Yes, when going past 300km/s it does get regularly hit by huge ast...

example of 8 legendary railguns completely failing to shoot down a huge asteroid due to some weird ass shit don't ask me how it's possible that in 5 seconds it didn't get destroyed. This is like 10000km off aquilo

In particular allow restricting the targeting cone of railguns, or make them completely stationary - just constantly fire in front. As it stands the animation takes too long to utilize shooting speed, and sometimes they even get caught in endless retargetting loop causing huge asteroids to hit my pl...

A few pain points that I discovered: 1. It's not possible to set a circuit condition on a request. I have a platform that makes prometheum science and I need it to work in 2 stages - first load a large amount of biter eggs for 30 minutes of time I have to produce it in transit, after that the chunks...

11-10-2024, 01-54-31.png Food insertion has priority over ingredient insertion. You can't filter the food slot to only accept common nutrient. You can't use circuits to detect empty food slot because "read contents" does not provide food information. Can't use circuits for timing (i.e. al...

This will be a mix of high-level and implementation detail, as I want to make it clear that it is implementable with almost zero-overhead. This is a suggestion for yet unavailable content, so if my assumptions are incorrect please let me know. I couldn't tell for all the assumptions, but there is t...

Only problem I can think of, it does not matter where in the pipeline you connect a plant, it will still be bottlenecked by the length of the entire pipeline, even tho it might be sitting very close to the source. Yes, you understand correctly, it's the only realistic disadvantage I can think of. T...

Hmm, now I see that pole connections are preserved in the blueprints (redoing the blueprint with correct connections preserves them on subsequent pastes). I have no idea however why the blueprint was like that, because I never disconnected any poles (and when designing it I made sure specifically fo...

https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Sel ... le_filters when set to an empty table (={}), along with filter_mode set to "whitelist", results in everything being whitelisted, which is consistent with the filter being nil. An empty whitelist should mean nothing is allowed.

Thank you, this is more than I expected. Definitely covers everything that I can forseeably need.

1. Make `get_connected_rail` also return the connection direction of the returned rail. So for example with the following setup F - front, B - back, [a-z] - identifiers, -> - connection rail(F a B) -> rail(B b F) a.get_connected_rail(defines.rail_direction.back, ...) -> (b, defines.rail_direction.ba...

This appears to be the best possible solution to this bug right now.

Thank you for your effort! This thread was really needed. One note, Compressed Multicross can, I think, be tested with unsafe output. Even though the signals on the output lanes are placed closer than train length apart there are no chain signals there. Additional safe output would only be needed if...

Playing PyBlock inevitably leads to placing down a huge amount of simple blueprints that locally produce the most basic products. Many entities are devoted to producing tar, electricity, tailings, saline water, and other basic things. This leads to a significant amount of entities that no one really...

Producer priority is of an issue because the train could repath while being already on route, so for this to work properly train would have to copy this value and keep it when traveling. I guess travelling trains could have the highest priority. Otherwise they could end up stopping anywhere on a re...
