Factorio uses 64-bit Signed Integers internally, so it is inherently impossible to get an "exact" Decimal conversion


That has nothing to do with the question. The decimal number OP is mentioning is already a calculated number rounded to 2 decimals. It is exactly as exact or not exact as the ...

+1, I'm using mines heavily and I am going INSANE! Mines getting destroyed before they're armed is nothing I can do anything against. I want to mute this without mods, so I can play with achievements.

I like this. I would add that it would be great to have a list of previously watched seeds in the map generator.

I like the idea and this sounds like an easy addition.

I have only Space Age. I briefly had a factory planner mod and Staged Blueprint Planning active. But it sounds unreasonable that they would blow up the atlas cache that much. And what do you mean by cache files? I don't think that's something that I can even control. With that said, this is not ...

Is it normal that the atlas cache is 27 GB big?

I need quality items. But with the amount of options I have, I feel really lost. This is especially, because I know there's really just one or two ways to effectively create high-quality items. Everything else is just wasteful. This makes it quite frustrating for me, because I like the puzzle, but I ...

Very well said.

And that's several dozen hours into the game. A point where a serious question is ...

One thing I loved about Factorio was the immense replayability, because it was so easy to improve previous layouts and factories. You quite quickly reach the point where you get advanced oil refining, assembler 3 or stack inserters, so that you can really start tinkering and optimising.

I feel like ...

I am talking about the connection to the logistics network, not the connection to the circuit network.

What do you mean by "your personal belongings"? Items in your inventory are not in the logistics network.

Why do you need this? I see two reasons not complicating the situation:

1) If you have multiple cargo bays, filling the available drop slots immediately sends the pod on its way freeing them up. Adding additional drop slots would not increase the speed you could do that.

2) If you regularly need ...

TL;DR
Requester chests should be connectable to the logistics network in the same way inserters are, enabling the requests on certain conditions.


What?
Inserters can be connected to the logistics network, allowing for conditions that are based on the amount of items within the logistic network ...

Gleba fucking sucks! There are so many reason it sucks, I really don't care to write them all down. Fuck Gleba and fuck the fucking Stompers and shit!

I chose the strategy of "it must never stop", and it hasn't for over 100 hours
Think of nutrients as your power grid


Copium. No-one designs his factory to be a pain in the ass to reboot or cold-boot. If anything, designing the game around this mechanic is an oversight from the game developers ...

I have a small factory and restarting nutrients is a pain in the ass. You need an abnormal amount of spoilage to get it going again and the nutrient production in the biochambers takes so many nutrients, it's absurd. This is not fun, it's nothing but a major pain in the ass.

It forces you to really consider how to use signals and switches to balance your grid, conserve fuel and limit pollution.


You don't have signals and switches that early, so it makes sense that a comparatively weak power source (that also causes significant pollution and takes away precious ...

Whatever it's main point or not - early game on Gleba is frustratingly hard compared to Vulcanus and Fulgora.


I completely agree. I'ts not that I dislike the spoilage mechanic. It's that I feel that I can't progress, until I figured out every step of all the paths I must take, immediately.

On ...

I have the following BP

The Inserter that feeds into the storage chest should insert X stacks of the produced item.

My problem is that I don't know how I can ask the player to provide a number. And then I need to use that number and multiply it with the stack sice of {0 ...
