If you require a 2x5 design that can be belt-fed from one of two different ends and can also be logistics chest fed, you might prefer this design of mine instead, which is based on an old 2x6 design by Nefrums and is slightly less efficient: 0eNrlfUtvo0my3V8RCjBs45ZmvnxnNrzxxstZ+C59Bw2WxKqmWyXpUlJPj...

EDIT: massively revamped and simplified so that "it just works". The 2x2 is based on an old design I got off the forums years ago that I can no longer find, and the 2x5 is of my own design, but then stuck inside one of Nilaus' city blocks, with a dead simple auto start/stop feature added w...

Thanks, looks good! I'm sure I will be trying out at least a few in my games.

Incredible! Saved me tons of work. I tried it out for a few hours, and discovered a few bugs and fixed them. Pastebin link below. Changes summary: - Fixed belt type mismatch between the main bus blueprint and the Utility Science blueprint - Replaced the burner inserters with yellow inserters in all ...

I am unable to reproduce it so far, so it probably makes sense to close this.

Hi, I just had an interesting crash, not sure why. I was starting combat near the edge of the explored map when it suddenly crashed. My system had been crashing with BSODs a lot lately, so it is possibly system-specific, but I had resolved all the issues causing those crashes, and had been playing f...

Not trying to be annoying, but It says "bufixes" instead of "bugfixes" again.

Hi, My suggestion is to add a few options to choose when creating a new game which rather than making the game easier or harder, instead make the game faster or slower paced. Examples: - An option to make research progress faster - An option to make research take fewer science packs - An option to p...

Sounds like a great idea. The last thing I want to deal with when I am trying to defend my base in early to mid game is what will happen to my production if I did not load balance properly, or if an ore field runs out when I am not expecting it. Then I have to try and figure out a quick fix for the ...

Tried to update from 12.7 to current, and this happened twice.

Update failed:

Hi, I too wanted to edit the Wiki after seeing that there is no mention of the fact that the optimal ratio of hot water tanks to steam engines to power a night time steam backup power source is precisely 3 tanks per 10 steam engines, but I received the following error from the Wiki software: Databas...

Obviously a boat needs to be added to the game. The question then becomes whether or not to give the player a boat at the start. I think that is a bit of a lazy solution. Therefore, before placing the player on the map, the biter pathfinding AI should be used to see if there is a path between the pl...

For those who don't know, you can fix this by modifying the control.lua file in your install directory under Factorio\data\base\scenarios\sandbox\control.lua and it will be fixed for all new games you make. Just search for "udpate" and change to "update" and save. Recommend you d...

Excellent work Klonan! I was always thinking that some other power source was missing, and it took me a while to put my finger on it, but this totally takes care of it! Now all we need is a more visible way to tell when we are beginning to run low on crude oil, so that if someone decides to forgo st...

That's pretty cool! Is it actually realistic that generators are less energy efficient than steam plants though? What I envision is some sort of structure which has a higher power density than burners and steam engines, and hopefully produces less pollution, but only works with the oils or something.
