Re: [2.0.21] Foundry inventory size causes flickering production

Yes the fluid is backed up. Is it expected that foundry cannot hold even 2 cycles worth of craft materials?

Using pumps, like this?

Setup above also caps at 450 stone/s because of fuild internal buffer. Attaching a pump directly to output hard caps its throughput ...

[2.0.21] Foundry at high speeds is fluid output bound

I'm trying to extract 480 stone/s (2 saturated belts) from a foundry that is producing 516/s. No matter the setup I use, I cannot get over 450 stone/s from one foundry.

This is the test setup:

Is there a mod to order bots to do just precise thing?

Let's take a look on my examle: I've got modular train-bot-based factory:

Is there a mod to block logistic slots?

Just like above - is there any mod existing to do so? I've seen questions like that before, but no real answer was given. I find this idea usefull, cause sometimes you just have to manually transport some stuff. Having 30 stacks of items transported to you immediately after cleaning your inventory ...

Weird QoL mod for Logistics tab in player's inventory

Hey
How about a mod that when you add new item to Logistics tab in your inventory it sets not 1 or stack of items, but stack-$robot_capacity_for_that_item of items?
Its annoying to set manually, and the "get one stack" option is too - when you place any of the requested items and then remove it - by ...

Re: construction times

I suggest that the gui of recipies in non-player inventories is edited to reflect the actual time taken to craft

Big, big yes. I know that this "5s to craft" is not really a SI unit for time, but it would be helpful to have that clear when designing some stuff not yet available in /blueprints on ...

Re: Constant combinator use/setting


But for now i need to set every included item by hand to the constant combinator


Const combinator have got no "capacity" like chest or assembler, so yea, first time by hand, then just copy paste the combinator.

Btw if I copy a recipe from assembler to req chest - how many items will it be set ...

Re: [0.17.79] Trains should repath at a blue chain-signal

There needs to be a limit to avoid that. Three ideas:
- The path is not more than X percent longer.
- The train waits since X minutes:seconds, before trying to go around.
- There are special signals, wich allow this kind of repathing.

4th - button in train GUI
5th - "smart locomotive" item

Re: Does anyone else build multiple quad Nuclear Reactors rather than one big one?

I usually use 2x2 reactors (the 480 ones), just cause they look nice to me. Then I like to create separate 480MW sections of my factory. Don't know why, but I prefer having a few small "towns" than one really big, laggy etc.
I know thats less efficient, but the fuel isn't really a problem in this ...

Re: A clock maybe?


You're browsing the forums either with a computer, which usually comes with a clock, or with your smartphone/tablet, which also displays a clock. Why would you want another clock on the forum ?
Also, I'm assuming you don't have a watch, because there would be even less a reason to add a clock ...

Hi
So I've got an idea - how about putting a clock on forums? I thought header/footer. I know it says UTC+2h, but I don't really like to rely on remembering things. So what's yall thoughts?
