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.

Barrels light oil and acid are almost same. Acid should be more yellow and also less green to avoid same look as lube. Water and petrol have grey barrel lid instead of liguid_color lid (blue, purple) Barrel lid of heavy oil should be darker ( close to barrel body), so it is not confused with light o...

No. If you select '*' and '+' for an arithmetic combinator, then the '*' on the output means "Apply the operation to each input signal.". So, if you had the same option for a filter inserter, it would mean "Limit the stack size to the signal value for the item being picked up.". One reason you woul...

Most of new icons are better when they are big, however: - all new icons looks like over-saturated so it looks like I need to change gamma. I tryed but it didnt help. Is it possibleto remove this over saturation effect? - personal battery (include MK2) has different look. Icon should asociate user's...

Icons add good feel. There might be some nitpicks, I couldnt tell if I am looking at batery, combinator or personal battery. There are three very similar icons. Landfill sound and the night vision make me smile. The logistic tab current - two GUI QOL - 1. Items need to autosort so they are same as i...

Imagine that at this train station you sometimes need some of those exact resources, because their quantities dropped below certain margin. Then it starts stopping there, unloading only those, which are needed, I was solving same issue. It took me a while to solve all the details. But now you can s...

Thank you

I have seen some youtuber to switch off bitters in the middle of game, to make gamepley easyer.
I would want oposite.
For my current map, which was started as total default in everthing, I would like pump up biters, it is possible?
Thank you!

This will count your current thrutput ingame:

Very useful for designs like you did.

Sure. One situation I did not check with your design is the situation when the extra U-235 (from productivity) emerges in the middle of a cycle, but I think based on my understanding of your combinator logic that it should work, because the yellow inserter will only see a single U-235 in its input ...
