there's a mod which do it: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BotRecaller

but I seriously believe it's something that should be builtin.

Yeah I believe it's the same, but I find mine more straightforward.

I would like to propose that roboports, just like requester chests, have an option to "call/request" bots, where user would define which kind (logistic or construction) and how many, and as so all the roboports in the network would send their bots to the requester port. This would be impor...

It is so much easy for developers to make it work like it should: FIFO. It's not a simple "this line of code controls it" but the entire logic around updating trains and that's some 2400~ lines across multiple files. If Rseding can't even describe the current order because of the complexi...

Because, as mentioned above, we are all total nerds, can you give us some insight into what the deterministic order is based on? Train ID or most/least recently built? X/Y coordinates? I'd rather not. It's not a simple "this line of code controls it" but the entire logic around updating t...

Thanks for the report however this is working as intended: trains do not follow "first in, first out" logic when waiting at rail signals. They simply operate in what ever order the train(s) are updated where that order is deterministic. Because, as mentioned above, we are all total nerds,...

I've observed that the trains in a waiting station with 6, 8, 10 lanes, are not following the order they arrive in the "block". So sometimes a train with rocket fuel gets there first, but keeps waiting for hours all the other trains join and leave, not respecting the order they arrived th...

After trying a bunch, I came up with something that sort of works but not entirely. So I'll post my write-up here and maybe it can serve as a foundation for someone else. Alright, here's a FIFO stacker. It took a bit longer than planned to complete since I had to resolve some issues where a train w...

In the case of your parking bay, if you want a FIFO queue, wouldn't the easiest solution just be to use a long serial track as your parking instead of parallel ones? This has the drawback of extending travel time for a train that it wouldn't otherwise need when the queue is empty, and takes more sp...

I have spent many hours -- probably many 24-hour days -- working on circuit logic to solve this problem in general. I still don't have anything I'm happy with. Admittedly, I've piled several additional design objectives on top of this so that I end up wanting an infinitely tile-able FIFO capable of...

Probably NaB, but just out of curiousity, what are the train ID numbers? I'd expect the one with the lowest number to get priority in this sort of situation. well, the train ID number is certain not a good choice for prioritizing it. The arriving order is what it should take in account, so to me IT...

Of course it should respect the order they arrive. What else would it respect?

I find the best solution to put an option in the settings menu. The option would be cumbersome to use as you might need to toggle it for every other train. Maybe the best solution is a compromise. If the train is in manual mode when you control-click to create a temp station, then the train tempora...

Well, terrain producing zero minerals in a zone 3 min distant from starting point is certainly a bug. Saying that "its normal" after a software upgrade is ridiculous.

I find the best solution to put an option in the settings menu.

I would like to hear from developers

I have been playing since .16 and so on now in .17

is it going to happen???

There's a clear line separating one kind of terrain from the other. There's a problem with the left part of terrain since it looks like there's no minerals there.
