My comment was a general one: what you tried to set in the combinator screenshot isn't deterministic, because it isn't clear what signal is used as feedback output to keep the latch latched.

In general, you're trying to solve the most complex and sophistic circuit network challenge the game has ...

If I'm understanding you correctly, it seems like what I should do is have decider A reading from the input chest + a constant combinator and sending EACH via green to decider C (which sends EVERYTHING to the machine to set recipe), then decider B sending a red signal to decider C, and when decider ...

The loopback provides the previous output as input, so you're able to remember and keep a state.

You tried to implement a latch using the EACH operator everywhere, however EACH for the state it's a wrong approach because you can never be sure what signal exactly is matching the state you want to ...

Maybe I shouldn't even report this because it's so stupid...

Thank you both!
So the green wire is basically functioning as a latch? I don't actually understand how this wire is doing that job. Its sending its output to itself, so the output can't change (until the other conditions are met)? Why does this override any new input signals that might want to ...

Thank you both!


Sorry, I can't look at the blueprint at the moment, but it sounds like you need to add hysteresis to your system. Look at this decider:
AM1 < 10 [R]
OR
AM1 < 50 [R]
AND
AM1 > 0 [G]
Output and input are connected with a green wire, input is on red, and output sets AM1 to 1 ...

Hi, I'm a big noob when it comes to circuitry. I'm trying to rig an assembler to make assembling machines 1-3 and running into issues when it comes to latching the current recipe and not interrupting itself.

I made some similar builds for other items (electric poles, logistics chests, combinators ...

Should I merge this thread and the other Gleba thread (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=118565)? I feel a discussion "glaba good" and "gleba bad" in the same thread makes sense, especially seeing some posts in the other thread are in the "gleba good" category.


Up to you, of course! I ...

I recently began my first Space Age playthrough, after delaying for a while because I didn't have the time to dedicate to it (and I knew it would take over my life). Since I experienced Gleba now, I wanted to express my feelings about the planet and how much I love it. I think it's so impressive ...

I think it's probably good we didn't get this. Maybe I'm just lacking creativity, but I don't see any way this monster (our character) can be reconciled with a peaceful approach. From a pure gameplay perspective, though, who knows, I'm sure if you all wanted to make it in the end you would find a ...

I thought if it was just the speed/slowdown it would also affect the ability to reverse at an angle but I guess weird science is at play. Sorry for the duplicate!

You cannot start to reverse in only a straight direction from a standstill while on spitter/worm acid.

I like this so much. I've always felt like the game needed another weapon, it feels so wrong in late game to be shooting with a laser gun and then also having laser guns on your back shooting at things and everything is just lasers. And being able to replace laser turret spam at every border with ...

Thank you for being brave enough to refactor!

You probably don't need me to tell you this, but gardening (in real life) involves a lot of intentionally getting things to "spoil" (compost) because it greatly enhances the fertility/viability/nutrition of plant life. Of course, this is Factorio, not real life, but I think it makes sense to ...

The player character must be overjoyed to have so many Goldilocks planets to completely ruin for the sake of science packs. Concrete is the most beautiful expression of nature, as the addled concrete alchemist might say to himself in a whisper while he sleeps.

I find the dust and streaking meteorites dizzying and confusing to my depth perception. A "shooting star" should be quite distant, yet they often appear to be very close to the camera (and therefore to the ship), or even sometimes *above* the ship/the base layer. I can't tell where the dust is, it ...

This is the Wube romance we all needed.
