Thanks for the report however I don't consider either of these bugs. The ammo slots can store ammo and the gun slots can store guns. How you get the ammo or how you get the guns doesn't matter to them - they just store those items.

But you can't ctrl-click ammo to trash because of that...

Well, if it is not about oil, then its simply about taste. You consider the gretech/angel/whatever it is in factorio to be the desirable and interesting form of gameplay. I myself find this tedious, and find the beauty of factorio in logistical challenges, as well as ressource management. Angel/Bobs...

But you literally still can't, by hand you eat them, by inserter it doesn't do anything...
(I checked out of curiosity)
So it's not implemented

+1 on this one

I'm in Berlin, Germany, propably the only good thing here is the internet. I have a 1000/50 link. Screenshot 2022-01-20 233253.png curl -O "https://dcdn.factorio.com/releases/FactorioDemo_x64_1.1.50.zip?key=0ZZB4yoVt_Frr0wSKyJ44A&expires=1643297090" % Total % Received % Xferd Average S...

It might be slightly tangential to the discussion but since pipes were mentioned above: I think that we reached a point where pipes should behave like belts in terms of way of building and direction management instead of current connect to everything behavior. This would make building and managing ...

A good shitpost, but literally zero arguments except "muh basic oil". It was just annoying to redesign oil processing, and I have simply always rushed advanced as fast as I could, without setting up proper basic processing. Nowadays I still rush advanced, but at least I don't get bored whi...

Obviously, the map spawn means a lot. I do not spawn maps to find an easier one. I spawn maps that puts the game on the very edge of win-ability. At least for someone of my skill level. I am no speed pro nor can I fight with my toon like a first person shooter. But I can make good decisions and des...

No-no, I don't consider this a waste at all. I was genuinely curious, I never invested time into defence simulations, and wanted to profit from your experience, since you obviously did, considering you made a whole bp book.
Thank you for the insight, I appreciate it.

Are these open segments really slowing the biters down, or is it just for show?
Never tried those myself.

Well, direct copper wire insertion and the 3:2 assembler ratio for green circuits *is* taught in the (both new and old) old tutorial, but it's probably more recent than that ?

It's 4:1

A very old suggestion, which I always +1. I think it's a shame, that it gets grouped. This kills speaker usage for notifications, since you can not prioritise or deprioritise specific alerts.

It does not work for entities with type="container".

But you can use type="car", and make it look like a box.

Was there a reason behind that? I think I remember some old thread where it was discussed, why the devs decided against filters in chests, but for filters in trains.

Aka13: no need to quote all for saying that.

Yeah, I am sorry, somehow managed to mess up the formating, perhaps a CTrl+Z too much

He has probably assumed so due to the perspective of the developers—or at least Kovarex. Multiple different times the engineer has been presented as the sic. bad guy in quite clear terms. There is a plenty of articles about the subject. How depressingly cliched. Yes, see https://spieswl.github.io/b...

Great read as always, although it's funny how different perspectives can be. Never cared about multiplayer, never changed my playstyle, always did the mainbus, never voided liquids, never cared about speedruns. What's even funnier, I don't remember the car, I don't know why, I have been there since ...

To be honest I don’t understand your suggestion at all

I think he means, that recipes should have a "catalyst"-field/slot, (he refers to it as capital). The idea being, you should be placing some item into the assembler, for it to work, like a module.

Thank you for the expanded answer. I came to more or less the same conclusions, although since the stops are so specific for that one specific train, there is not much, that could go wrong. I also considered laying a separate track specifically for that train only, but I have since then abandoned th...

I have built a similar artillery train, but encountered the issue, that such a train is a real danger to intersections and especially to itself. Have you used your train ingame, or is it a proof of concept thing?
Genuinely curious.

That's good to hear! Do have references for reading up on that? I just did my best to google it, but can't find anything. But I swear I remember reading somewhere about it a couple of years ago, that there was something going on where valve got involved directly, not sure if it was this whole town ...
