These bugs may be splitted into separate reports, but I will post them here because they are related to each other. Initial question: how many iron plates can be produced using 6 coal and a steel furnace? Using math: Energy from coal: 8 Mj (according to the game info) * 6 = 48 Mj Iron smelting time:...

Everyone (in this thread so far) seems to agree that wire chaining should return, including me. It'd be cool if wire chaining was the default, but holding shift had the origin point not move, and if holding shift while disconnecting a wire allowed chain disconnects. I think shift is not the best ho...

Old Info Full day - 25000 -1 Day - 12500- 0.5 Night - 2500- 0.10 Dawn or Dusk - 5000- 0.2/ea Your Info Full day - 24966 - 1 Day - 12482 - 0.5 Night - 3994 - 0.16 Dawn or Dusk - 4245 - 0.17 After performing several expiriments on 0.13.3 without any mods, I can confirm that: - full day length is 2500...

Also, am I the only one who is disturbed with the new combinator graphics?
What do you think about this? (I copy-pasted "∗" symbol from 0.12 and pasted into 0.13)

Totally agree, new behaviour is terribly inconvenient and produces over complicated highly entangled builds. I even began to write my own suggestion, but then I found this one. I will post my videos here to clarify the differences: https://giant.gfycat.com/ParchedSecondaryAmethystgemclam.webm https:...

It is strange, I don't see any tactics here... only 4.5 times profit. If you reduce landfill price to 5 stone and disable 1x1 landfill result will be the same and more user-intuitive. https://fat.gfycat.com/CandidPowerfulBantamrooster.webm Edit: Admit, disabling 1x1 won't fix this issue, user still ...

Using 1x1 landfill you can fill 20 tiles using only 3 landfill:

Appearently 1x1 landfill is op and sould be disabled.

I'm stating how do you know the difference between a bot dying and a bot just repairing? If you just always make sure there are 50 bots, when the attack is over, you'll have 51 bots. Each time you'd need more and more bots to go repair before you detect any issue and start shooting. From the robopo...

DemiPixel wrote: The only negative is that if a construction bot dies, how do you deal with that...?

Obviously, robots always may die even in the simplest build, so the only way to deal with this is to request additional robots from the main base.

Very nice, I had approximately the same idea, but with the "guard" turret: all other turrets are enabled when the guard turret fires (measured via increased energy consumption in a separate accumulator). But your way is definitely simpler, although with a small damage-price. https://giant....

Train pathfinding algo ignores blocks that were locked using circuit network signal. As a result, train prefer "shortest path + unknown waiting time" than "slightly longer path". https://fat.gfycat.com/SmugPhonyIvorygull.webm In my opinion, locked signal should have some extra va...

Small mistakes: 1.png 1) In current version, yellow combinator doesn't perform any usefull job and can be removed. 2) Red signal will be delayed by 2 ticks and Blue signal will be delayed by 1 tick. This desync will produce strange results on the display when input value is changing dynamically. I s...

Amazingness Would implementing the other two tiles be too difficult or did they just happen not to appear in that gif? If I remember correctly, there one additional row on the bottom and one additional column at the left and right side of the playfield. These cells are not the part of the display, ...

What's the best way to do an int OR? Here's what I've got so far: 4 combinators to convert binary in separate items (2 for each int) 1 cominator to OR 3 combinators to map each item back to their number and add together Ideally if you know a better way to do this, I'd like a hint instead of an answ...

Eheheh >: ]

I mean, uh, neat! Can I ask what compression you used for the game state?

Sure, details you can find here: viewtopic.php?p=136546#p136546

Although I've promised to not play Factorio till 0.13, I could not pass by this thread...

At this moment every signal is an integer value and this is very reasonable for almost all items, because you can not imagine half iron plate. Except liquids, which is basically stored in tank as a floating point value and can not be represented in integer value without rounding. So, my suggestion i...

Initial build: To reproduce this bug you should place additional pipe segment, as in this picture: Result:

Vanilla + blueprint mod only

Edit: I just managed to reproduce it with 100% chance, but it is somehow connected with the initial bug.
