This sub-assembly idea is perfect. I think we need to grow to idea even more. Lets design The factory cell. It inputs both ores, coal and oil. As results it fires a rocket. e.g. 4 inputs, no output. Target is, the small compact footprint and efficient production. Then you can multiply these cells to...

and while we're at that, i'm still waiting for a "go to this station only if given requirements are met" setting. i really don't like any of the required workarounds to refuel my trains.

Just have a fuel train that drops fuel off at every station

I didnt write it.

Lets name the feature Departure queue manager abreviation used in the fallowing text is DQM Because: - it better describe what it does. Manages a queue of trains which are heading to a destination. (...) - wording " stop limit " sounds restrictively and negative. This feature helps & improve not re...

things which i think are important for the Tips & Tricks: A Reminder that a Signal will never be 0 (Zero) (hopefully gets fixed someday) It is fixed. I agree that this trivial status need a Tip.

" I like it when the rules of a system are very simple, and the complexity emerges from the interaction of these very simple systems." = That is the main feel I get from the game. Perfect. So the (in)famous "Hail of trains" issue is finaly solved ? I am glad you find such elegant way. Trains are th...

At this point, I thought, that I would come back to work with full power, but I just couldn't. When I tried to work, I had this strong, almost physical feeling of disgust, that was impossible to overcome. It was clear to me at this point, this is the the typical burnout situation. kovarex , as a fe...

Overcome mental block is the hardest struggle in life. Only those who passed could apreciate. Good luck for you and family. Here is nice piece of UI: https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/img/blog/fff-356-reassign.mp4 Could you apply the descrition box for combinators ? So each placed combinator have opti...

think about how to do unstable releases for post 1.0 updates, because I have some other problems with the current system. It is not really explained anywhere (I am sure it is explained is some ancient FFF but I can't find it), then people who are not willing to deal with inconveniences of experimen...

For full 12 beacon setups I prefer having 80 u235 circulating per machine, so they have no down time. Sure. My design, the first post, support start with 40 then change required number in one constant combinator and here we go system adapt. Altho it has a problem to go back from 80 to 40. the kryoj...

It does do auto start at 40 235s, stores the 328 for enrichment and fuel rod creation. I do use circuits to calculate the inserter stack size on the catalyst moves. This allows for using full stack sizes and factors of 40 are not a problem. I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts Your design is...

Regarding learnig useful stuff, start to play with combinators. Reagrding logical gates its golden training ground.

Its great that you listen to the audience and was able to move to re-design a sauron's eye to the new breed of beacon. Flat, hand-made post-apo feel. With great feature of visible modules. Details of color glow are cherry on top. We will probably add the setting, it makes sense. :) Althou visible mo...

In the following screenshot, I have 32 accumulators providing 9.6 MW of power for three firing laser turrets Graph updates in 5s interval, however your firing rate power peak has higher freqency. So your accumlators cycle between source and consumption tab. So you can count laser consumption peak +...

There is no priority, "enabled" is the default so circuit condition and logistic condition build an AND gate. When I found this feature (few month ago) I was suprised that is not highlighted anywhere. Option to add 2 conditions on a single inserter could simplify some creation a lot. If you can, wo...

I dont think you find help here. You are addict. If you need to solve it, ask nearest Psychiatrist for a session.

Inserter on the top turns on, when there is at least stack of U-235. Inserter on the bottom turns on, when there is less than stack of U-235 and it has to be filtered inserter so it won't take U-238 first. As in author design, it requires stack size to be divisor of 40 greater than 2. I also shrink...

My auto-start setup requires no combinators and only one circuit wire:

As the topic says, 40pcs (U235) per cycle. Your machine need way more to operate, so doesnt fit criteria.

There's a yellow inserter on top set for manual stack of '1' and two green inserters set for a stack of '6'. When the reactor exports it's product at the end of a production cycle the yellow inserter dumps a single unit of 235 while the two green inserters dump everything else to the belt. I see 4 ...

Legs inventory icon are in different position than in the armor grid.
It would be better when armor grid icon and inventory icon were somehat same.
