Is it a recipe with a fluid, that can't be made in an AM1?

Please stop auto-sorting Constant Combinator ALT view. Why can you display 38 but 32 gets "sorted" to 23? Also, please stop Roboport contents from sorting right AFTER you take out one item. When you open the roboport I'm sure would be unnoticed and fine, though I dont understand the advan...

I was setting some map pins last night, just using the tick/check symbol, and *every* *time* I had an extra click because of quality - and ticks don't even have quality! I'm finding the current pin method very click-y (create pin, select icon, confirm quality, add description, confirm, place). Does ...

A similar thing can happen if you remove an assembly machine and an inserter grabs something off the belt. If the assembly machine is replaced and set with a recipe that doesn't take the item the inserter has in its hand, the inserter is stuck unable to do anything. Both your example and mine are no...

Thanks! Can't believe I missed that detail.

This isn't a bug as such, but to me it feels like a significant backwards change in functionality - I didn't realise how much I used it until I found in missing in V2. What did you do? Open an assembly machine that's assigned a recipe. Hover over the recipe item to receive the tooltip, but it doesn'...

As a native English speaker, why not just "Queue Research"?

… The rendering cost and simulation cost to them is miniscule, and if it actually matters to your computer it might not be suited for Factorio in general. For my PC, the high load is not a problem. But for my nerves, it is a serious problem, waiting for the drones to bother to build what I need. It...

Some people would argue that this is part of the challenge of dealing with belts and inserters.

I'd be one of those people. Lane selection would trivialise part of the fun of the design process.

Depending on your target SPM, double the production, then double it again!

Stupid question, but what is the advantage to naiive system like follows: - Trains have schedule "pickup -> depot -> delivery -> depot" - Delivery and Pickup set their own train limit to 0 if they cant supply / have enough, otherwise it is 1 Train limits didn't exist back in 2019/2020 whe...

I logged the same thing a long time ago (can't find the original post), and apparently it's too much of a performance hit to auto-sort the Spidertron inventory.

I haven't used it myself, but this might help: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/FARL

However, I suggest you still learn how the rail system works first. You can probably still make a "bad" rail network with this mod, as I believe that you need to design the blueprints that FARL will put down.

If you put a splitter either before (and/)or after the double-splitter in the middle, you will at least get some mixture between the two sides. And I assume the yellow belts will be updated to red...

Green and especially blue science takes a god-awful amount of time to produce, especially at a small scale. And modules don't help much. Then increase the scale. That's the core challenge of this game :) Also judging by the screenshots (fix:) purple and yellow science (as we know them today) are go...

You may or not may not be aware of the debug feature (<F4> by default) that can enable the map grid-lines. The dark grid-lines are the "chunks" (32 x 32 squares), so one approach is if you make all your blueprints to take up and fit in full chunks (1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 2x2, etc), then you know c...
