In this mock-up, the train would check the skip condition before pathing to the Iron Field 2 station. If its cargo was already full, it would skip the station and try to find another _Sink Iron Ore , or just return to the stack and wait there. https://i.imgur.com/dlwiQo2.png This is a feature that ...

I think you can merge those, because on the page 2, there is a suggestion about low fuel condition

I was near to merging this into https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=64362 Dynamic train schedule But then I saw you made 2 suggestions. Cannnot discussed well, see https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3394 and https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=47316 ...

But "Add departure condition" could be taken to mean that the train won't depart without a condition given, i.e., without a condition the train will wait forever. So this would trade one confusion for another. What about, instead: + Wait until... I would be ok with it, if a train stay at ...

You can run this code while hovering over a power pole. /c precision = defines.flow_precision_index.one_second network = game.player.selected.electric_network_statistics for name, _ in pairs(network.input_counts) do energy = network.get_flow_count{name = name, input = true, precision_index = precis...

I am currently testing nuclear power plant blueprints and decided to build my own. In order to test properly I need to know exactly how much electricity is produced/consumed. Now it shows 2.7 GW. Theoretical production is 2720 MW. Yes there is a mod where you can place pink accumulator and adjust it...

Short version Rename "+Add wait condition" to "+Add leave condition" or "+Add departure condition" Long version Lets do this: Add wait condition => Passenger present As everybody would understand from just reading the text, it implies the followings: if a passenger is ...

Can we have a possibility to ignore some train stops if a condition is met? For example, if train has fuel count >1 => ignore a refueling station. Or if train cargo is full => ignore a next station. My base is divided into two: oil related stuff and everything else. Oil base produces heavy oil, gas ...

eternally_polluted_chunks.jpg I have been not producing anything in that base for almost 4 hours. And these concrete-paved chunks stayed polluted. From what I have read this is forever. It is so annoying, especially knowing that I will leave that base some day. Smog always settles down onto all kin...

Yes, I agree with Chao. That is basically my way of thinking behind my first post in this thread

For now construction robots almost always start off from far objects. Could it be improved so that they search for the nearest object to work with?
Or at least to be able to change theirs behaviour.

After the first research you are able to use logistics bots to transport items from chests to the player. The second tech gives the more useful ability to transport items from chests to chests. With just that tech researched I don't have logistic slots. 'Character logistic slots 1' has to be resear...

I've researched "Logistic Robotics" and got Logistic Robot. I was trying to figure out how to use those, but without success.
Did I understand this correctly that logistic robots are completely useless just after first research?

Thank to you all for the answers. But I was looking for a mod which provides just with information about how many resources there are on the visible map . There is this one too https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Narc/YARM I didn't know about the other one i did those label manually during long train tra...

Recently, I was looking for deep explanation of fluid simulation, and I found only a few posts where other people asking the same questions but don't receive answer. So I performed my little research in this area.

Could you please say what program you used for creating those plots?

Basically, I need to know how many resources I have on the map to decide which modules to use so that all resources to be used up evenly in order to fulfil my OCD.

But nuclear IS viable for the late game and beyond. You're probably not using it properly. One of the most important traits of nuclear reactors (which probably isn't explained very well) is that adjacent reactors boost each other. So a 2x2 block of reactors will produce 480MW of power, while a solo...

For nuclear reactor to be viable in late game there should be some space science packs upgrades for it.

My suggestion is to add necessity to put barrels of lubricant to cars/tanks. The lubricant is used up over time alongside with fuel.
Without lubricant in the vehicle, it's top speed/acceleration are reduced.

Steam is not a good solution for T3 (classic boiler and nuclear reactor) because it use a lot of updates https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=204&t=69802 you can see here what happen if we use full steam power in a mega base In the game its : T1 classic boiler, T2 (or little T3) nuclear ...
