I hope next week you will remember to make a joke with 404 :)
There will be just empty screen, with a friendly text in the middle:

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

To multiplex channels onto the radar you need a clock. And beware the fool that uses a local clock to demultiplex the data. One power outage and the clocks will get out of sync. You hit the nail. To enable multi channel wireless communication, you need connect those location with a wire. :roll: :lol:

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

I don't think radar signals are for people who are already using factory-wide signal networks. They are probably primarily intended at players who use circuit-wired rail blueprints "because", never use it, until at some point late in they find a usecase and then find out there are too man...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

By "one channel" you mean the values of red and green cable will be added, transmitted, received and a single list of values will come out? So storing the number of available trainloads in green and requested trainloads in red still needs a complete network wiring?! I think, one channel m...

Radar transmition data = great. But adding 8 channels would be, ... you know better. Cutting wires = yes, yes ! I have been asking for "cut&move" while keep connection for ages. When you design a circuitry which use more than 3 combinators, you spend more time by re-connecting and re-...

My gueess: Solar panels are inefficient, but you can build a "lightning catcher" to get electricity. It would be nice change when lightning catcher has large radius of catching. (like one chunk) Then it means your power source have to spread and interfere with standardized field of melting...

Nice QoL, I have used Wiki for this. Alt-Tab is easy. I see an issue with layout of Factoriopedia - scrollbars. Your intention to make UI layout standardized also make it space hungry, (lot of gray without any information). It means, player has few information on screen then bunch available when scr...

Re: Friday Facts #395 - Generic interrupts and Train stop priority

Can you add wildcard 'Any item' signal into regular combinator selection options ?
Reason: it is handy filter how to recognize/split virtual signals or a specific group.

Same for for 'Any Fluid', 'Any Fuel' and 'Any Signal'

Thanks.

Good post! I waited for mirroring Oil refineries a long time! Now just wait for someone to make one assembler run
An opposite of megabase here the new term minibase is born.
Archetype - One assembler surrounded by combinators.

When you get a filter feature on the burner inserter, you could make it so that coal is contaminated by stones by default. Because you find some stones full coal, then mine them manually.
