They don't just hit other railguns that claim to be outside their range, they also hit collectors that claim to be outside of their range. For example, here is my railgun's alleged range, showing the collector outside of it:

And here it is killing the collector it supposedly can't hit ...

I'm posting this here as I'm not sure if this is considered a bug or not. I know non-deterministic behavior in multiplayer can cause desyncs though, which are an issue, so I figured it is worth mentioning even though I'm playing single player.

Anyway, the situation is that I've got a platform ...

Thank you! Just the "Remove Asteroid Particles" alone more than doubled my FPS.

On the shattered planet route, my FPS is dropping considerably when I look at the front of my ship and all the asteroids it's destroying. Sometimes it is so bad that I drop below 20 FPS, and that is despite the UPS remaining high (above 50). So, what options are there to improve FPS when you have a ...

I want to give this a +1, because different researches have vastly different research speeds. I'm looking at you, "Research productivity!"

When I constantly switch between it and some other research (currently doing this manually, obviously, but that's why I want this to be implemented) I am fine ...

After doing tests of this in game, I've discovered that the table in the "tips and tricks" is inaccurate, so I'll file a bug report about it (if I can't find one that was already filed).

From experience I would say the only scalable way to handle Fulgora is to make a mini factory that can produce everything you'd want. Basically this boils down to the buildings you have to build there (recycler, EMPs), a few intermediate products (holmium plate, superconductors, etc.), and stuff to ...

I haven't done any experimental tests, though I'm thinking at this point it may be the only way to actually answer this question.

I'm trying to answer what seems like it should be a simple question:
When crafting using 4 legendary quality module 3s (and no speed module influence, i.e. +24.8% quality) and a normal quality recipe, what percentage of the output will be normal quality items?
Based on what the "Tips and Tricks ...

Is there any reason to actually use this though? Sure, it might make sense from a completeness sake, but I bet few even use the hexadecimal option, save for maybe the few people building entire CPUs/ASICs/FPGAs/whatever with circuit networks.

Currently, quality improvements on turret range can actually be a downgrade, as omnidirectional turrets will fire further to the sides (which can be very undesirable on space platforms). If we had a way to limit how far to the sides they could fire, this would not be an issue.

It doesn't have to be ...

Yeah, it wasn't hard to get the bots unstuck once I knew what the issue was. It's just annoying that I can't turn off construction robots on a per-spidertron basis (without unequipping the roboports, and reequipping them requires them to be within the logistic network AFAIK).

Not sure how it got into that state--could the stuck bots have been part of your personal network before you left the planet in a rocket, for example? Or was there briefly a disconnected roboport? Seems like they should have been reassigned to the network they are in if their previous network ...

To be fair, the "new" rocket is just the old one with a few bits strapped on the top.

What did you do?
I was deconstructing (via remote view) some requester chests full of inserters, trying to move their inventory to other requester chests.

What happened?
The bots picked up their inventory, but are now stuck in mid-air claiming that there is no logistic storage available ...

Ah, okay. So basically just having idle collectors (that are actively trying to collect chunks and aren't disabled by filters) is just bad, wherever they are? Seems like that's just a lot more likely to occur on the side, below other collectors that would pick up the chunks they're looking for ...

Wider ships with front-facing asteroid collectors (and a limited number of side-facing ones) should perform better because they don't have to track asteroid chunks which are likely to be caught by collectors on the sides above them.


First of all, thank you for optimizing this. That said, I'm ...

No , they have the same efficiency when they have the same neighbour bonus and same 100% output (and they produce more power for the same footprint ! )

But they won't have the same neighbor bonuses! That's what I've been saying this entire time: for any given power output, as long as it's more ...

No it's not impractical at all, you just need to have a base that consume more than it can produce and rely on other source for the differential.

Sure, and in those situations, you'll get more efficiency out of the fusion reactors by using lower quality reactors.
