This is fairly simple proposal. Currently you can use Shift+RMB to clone settings from the factory and then use Shift+LMB to set requests on buffer/requester chests to get ingredients in. It would be great if we could use the same mechanism to set storage chest filter to be the first matching ...

It's been roughly two years since I played Factorio and only now I noticed that this blueprint was not the one I wanted to post here. Here's a latch mechanism that was in the version I wanted to post:

Currently it is possible to choose any RGB color for train stops or trains but it is not easy to use any themes you'd like. There is no other way of reusing color defined by yourself than writing RGB values down and putting them by hand any time you create new train or train stop. For stops you ...

But different rules can also create a loop of bots flying in circles, which is also a mess.


Rules are different anyways, at least regarding options. In this case robots will not take from buffer for any other work then player request (construction or logistic) or requester set explicitly to ...

Currently bots are looking for items ordered by user in chests in following order:
- player trash (surely is closest)
- active provider (because it should be empties as soon as possible)
- storage (because it would lay there and occupy space otherwise)
- buffer chest
- passive provider

I think it ...

Looks like it has 4 more boiler per reactor but much less steam buffer. I think mine has a bit too much buffer but I wanted to make sure it will not waste any of it when power draw is low. Second difference is buffer separation. Setup I used already had doubled buffers. One should be always full ...

I don't want to create whole separate thread yet I did not see exactly proposition I think of.

Whole idea is not to make robots too smart (like trains require proper signals to work) and yet provide good functionality (if signals are good, routes and behavior of trains is great). We should also ...

Hi, as I mentioned in previous topic, I used, adjusted and tested new nuclear setup first created by @Aeternus. I'd like to share my variant packed in one blueprint book including template for trenches and all factory parts.

I won't repeat everything @Aeternus already mentioned in his topic, you ...

After all, there could be simple checkbox under lamp condition "apply to lamp colors" that would show up if "use colors" is checked.

Whole point is that current solution gives more flexibility but also requires using it. You can't just put lamp to see if there is yellow signal in circuit and see ...

I expected that light color depends on all signals matching condition specified in the lamp settings.

It actually uses probably highest color index of any positive signal if condition is met instead of considering only signals matching condition. In other words, it should behave like that only if ...

Hi, I just wanted adde a few words here as I'm experimenting with this design.

Mechanism for steam adds hysteresis. In default, if there is less than 15k steam, let the process begin. Otherwise send blue signal. The point is that blue signal triggers addition of 2,5K steam, so now the threshold is ...
