The problem I'm running across is that I want to design a very large version of this kind of automated rail station, with many items that can't possibly fit on a single train car (I want to use one to supply an 'everything' mall, and another one to supply cargo rockets in space exploration). If all...

Will there be a way to handle unknown items with generic item interrupts? For example, being able to say "if you can't find a stop to bring this item to, take it here"? That would be extremely useful. In the FF they say that "Trains will 'No Path' for stops that don't exist." Th...

I currently use skipping for my ammunition supply train, in a way that certainly can't be replaced by stop limits, and I don't think (though I may be wrong) can be emulated by an interrupt. The supply train carries enough ammo, oil, repair kits etc. to top up three wall sectors. So its schedule rea...

In Friday Facts #373, they said "Since we know where we are and what is the goal, we can start to approximate the date of releasing the expansion, which is planned to be about one year from now.", which will be around August 2024. And they have said that version 2.0 will be released at the...

There is now a post in the News forums about this along with a blog post.

Other larger chests. The more slots the chest has, the more processing power is needed to add or remove items.

Left lines and right lines are independent. It takes from left belt because it is the only one to provide items on the right lane. If "input priority" refers to the side of the belt and not the side of the splitter, why does the yellow chevron move to the right or left side of the splitte...

You lot, do realise that we are going to get this on a update on the first of next month :->

Rather than disabling the iron ore pickup station when there is not enough ore, use the circuit condition to set the train limit on the station. If there is not enough ore set it to 0, otherwise set it to 1.

That will cause the trains to wait at the previous station until there is space for it.

What I would love to have is a coffee table art book with all the various art plus the FFFs edited into a history of Factorio.

I read it as he wants to filter the output of the read train contents by wagon. So he could say tell me the contents of the first wagon of the train.

An suggestion for an tip and trick. Pinning achievements.

Answer 1. No mining does not count. Answer 2. No need. Open the achievements window. Scroll down to the Lazy Bastard achievement and there will be a button on the top left of the achievement, which will pin the achievement and that has a count of your crafts on it. Answer 3. Yes. A lot of the achiev...

You can set your equipment, by pressing e, and then selecting the character tab, this also includes access to any armor equipment grids by pressing the button that is next to the armor slot. Other than that you can reduce the size of the toolbar by pressing the small button of three vertical dots th...

And couldn’t that also be achieved by the “anything” signal? And isn’t that their fault if they forget to change signals? If I recall correctly, using anything breaks if the chest is ever empty. I think the logic goes as zero is no signal, the condition "anything < X" returns false if the...

You can make more sulfur from oil, via petroleum gas. Although you can very easily burn your way through all you oil if you are not careful. Note this is all from a beginner with DyWorld. For each element (Earth,Water, Chemical, etc) ammo type there are corresponding biter type that has resistance t...

It would also be nice to be able to blacklist trees/rocks, so the inverse of the trees/rocks only option. Often I want to remove all my machines from an area near (or containing!) some non-rectangular groups of trees without disturbing the trees. (I generally play with a self imposed rule of try to...

There is, press Shift whilst selecting the area to copy. This will being up a window which will give you various options one of which is whether to copy the station name or not. And it defaults to not copying the station name.

Yes but with nearer stations it works just fine if one is already in use the train goes to the other one with the same name? I thought it is the way it should work? Is my thought wron? Your thought was wrong. Trains will always go to the station with the shortest path, which can depend on the state...
