I've been messing around with a Combustion Mixture power setup and I'm trying to figure out if it's actually worth it early-mid game over a steam boiler setup. Sorry for formatting, I'll try to make it as clear as possible. Edit: Literally as I was writing this I discovered the Oil Burner building (...

cant u get nexelite from tailings then put the nexelite ore into a furnace?

That's locked behind Nexelite processing 1, which requires red and logi science. You could make the argument to make that tech only take red science, but I agree that nexelite should be a Tier 2 (at a minimum) material.

Tholins currently only takes red science to research, but to make the Tholine machines you need Nexelit which requires Red and Logi science. I feel that the first Tholins tech should have Logi science packs as a requirement as well. Though I admit that I might be missing something somewhere.

My work schedule is about to lighten up again which means I have time to dive into another Py game. I haven't had time to play since Petroleum handling was released. Any idea when this may drop so I know if I should wait to start, or is it going to be a few weeks so I can start a new game without fe...

That looks awesome

This is a Factorio problem, not a mod problem. Fluid mechanics in Factorio have always been a bit out of wack due to how they're programmed. For most uses the smallest diameter pipes were the best ones to use. Supposedly the new fluid mechanics changes will fix this and make fluids work more like ho...

I think this is related to the other inventory/UI bugs in 0.17.18 but I noticed when trying to generate a new map w/ mods that add a lot of extra settings the generator dialog box is too tall for the screen, you can't scroll it or access any of its lower buttons. 20190325213059_1.jpg 20190325214237_...

The new update looks great. I just want to second the bug that the pin button isn't working anymore.

Looks like my bot swarm will be finally be able to get off the ground once this goes live

Thanks for all that. I have another question/issue right now: I'm trying to automate circuits 1, which requires Raw Fiber, which as far as I can tell can only be made in a Kicalk Plantation The Kicalk Plantation requires Tank 5000L. Tank 5000L requires the Storage Tanks tech, which is only red scien...

Adding a related question to this thread: Just started messing around with this mod (and the rest of the set) tonight. Is the very beginning supposed to be super slow and tedious? My first thought is that I need iron/copper plates: 8 ore to 1 plate So it takes 3 burner drills to run 1 stone furnace,...
