I think I figured out what happens. It does send a rocket ... sigh. The level of Quantum processors dropped slightly since a few of them were used with the leftover of promethium chunks on the belts. I don't want to request them, but it tries to top up immediately.

For 2.1 It would be great to have ...

No it is not waiting for any incoming rockets! There is nothing being sent or requested from the planet (other than the water barrel, which does not exist there yet). Yes , this would be obvious answer. Sorry, if this comes arrogant, but I am a software guy ...

Please, see the screenshot. The ship just dropped an empty legendary barrel on Aquillo and despite having all wait (i.e go go) conditions met continues to wait and completely stops at the planet waiting for the water barrel request. The planet has no barrels (or anything else) on the way (as this ...

Is this behavior with blueprints intended for mods only? I do not see how a blue inserter can reach stack size of 16 (it' maximum with maximum research is 4) with research unless it is not a standard vanilla game. Thanks.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Unlock (check override stack size) on the source inserter (presumably highest tier inserter). 2. Copy settings from the source inserter to some other type inserter of lower tier.

This way it is possible to set stack 16 from, for example, stack inserter on the green, blue or ...

Tungsten is named "tungsten_ore" instead of "tungsten-ore" in AutoplaceControl against ORE convention. At the same time it is named differently (and correctly) "tungsten-ore" in Resource. This causes some problem with code where/if you rely on the tungsten ore named the same in map setting and ...

This is a very detailed anatomy of how 2 speedy inserters are failing when working as a team! It is quite unfortunate for the belt because all the other machines are now missing some deliveries and started blaming the belt for that. All drama because 2 inserters can't agree who should wait for just ...

Ok so my general understanding it is because items were inserted in slightly different locations (fore/aft) on the underground depending on which side inserter was located. Some directions (E, S) had an erroneous offset, which caused "better" syncing of the inserters for undergrounds. From the ...

Oh man... lol , I was hoping the other behavior was correct!

Actually why would it be more correct with gaps?

If 2 inserters (stack 8) place items on a belt it compresses it (no gaps) and it is working fine in any direction. Now for undergrounds it becomes different compared to belts. I would ...

There is a gap depending on where the belt is moving Up or Down. The image shows the gap.
I understand the mechanics of belts and where inserters place items (on the right etc). The problem here is that if facing North the top inserter hick ups at some point and there is a delay causing the gap ...

If belts are facing Up or Left 2 inserters do not fill a belt at stack 8, but surprisingly they do if you rotate the blueprint with belts going Down or Right.

There should be no preferable orientation all directions should be equal. Behavior must be consistent and ideally in both cases 2 inserters ...

In vanilla Factorio there are only four furnace recipes and it makes sense for those particular recipes to have productivity enabled. A modded scenario can have many, many more furnace recipes (as well as other new machines and processes which have to use the furnace prototype) and it may not make ...

In vanilla furnaces allow prod (any) modules so this is not an issue. The issue here is with the mod trying to disallow Prod modules for some recipes (in furnaces), which is not really possible to do completely. You are able to insert Prod modules before it starts smelting (i.e machine is clean ...

Here is an odd bug with Prod modules...

First of it is possible to put Prod modules into Electric furnace at all times... However, this allows to accidentally bypass the restriction of Prod modules for some smelting recipes. The way it is working I am not even sure if it is the issue of not ...

This new beacon design is the ugliest thing ever in factorio. I am not sure how anyone likes it compared to the classic beacon. The old beacon was creating a sense of dynamic with rotating tops and colors were matching. It was creating sense of volume for the entire factory. The new beacon does ...

So after reading your post :shock: , I only got to say doh :roll: . Darn that's simple.


But, for sake of argument (and for all the hours spent finding this solution :D ), if you wanted to get a station with fluid, and 2 different types of items, with all 3 things being of different ordering ...

Additionally looks like a common complaint is that loading trains is very slow (or that loaders can not do it) in Krastorio (compared to how strong production lines are) and this could help to address that. If you could have a stack size of 20-30 instead of 12 that would be much helpful ...

Before the train limit feature, the problem of stations imbalance could be solved by placing several rail signals before the station and enabling red depending on the level on that station. This impacted train pathing algorithm and trains would pick a station with fewer or no red signals on the way ...

Actually, the solution of @lois could work. Only send the request amount (as negative value) to the station, if the threshold of the individual item is reached.

I had the same problem, when i was requesting barrels with low amount and plates, etc. with high amounts
My solution was to use 2 ...
