The generic item parameter is such an elegant way of simplifying the orders. Though as with the last time you've shown this, there's still 1 issue: Trains are dispatched based on what is available to pick up, not based on what is needed to be dropped off. It'd be cool if we could somehow create som...

One train deadlock is possible in roundabout. I was able to test my idea: Cause of deadlock would be breaking train path while in middle of roundabout. This could be easily done by bitter attack or player rebuilding rails. Roundabout with fewer chain signals see the picture bellow 1.) train enters j...

Guys. I had a go at removing the long, near, far, long short, short long, long near, short far inserters, and migrating them to standard fast, express, filter etc inserters.... And they all changed range to standard inserters. Migration doesn't keep the length settings! What do you think I should d...

I use something similar. But I went for lazy easy setup. ;) I have "replacing mechanism" only at my central storage. that way it will be easy to change when i get to new tier. I pull bots out of roboports using filter inserters: - i pull them only from roboports at my central storage - soo...

Is it normal that bitters fight each other? I suppose it is started when they injure each other accidentally with AE attack. Well ... it is great for collecting artifacts: 1.) sacrifice building to start fight 2.) come later to harvest https://wcrfjw-dm2306.files.1drv.com/y3m42BUK2LSYQd5Psne7Do7twxd...

... the synchronisation and shit.

When discussion gets deep and hightly technical.

Hi, there seems to be still some error with wall gate graphics. Vertical reinforced gate have wrong upper end. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AprrsHhkm0xohJlVwDfzZPv5gFHm9Q https://x8rfjw-dm2306.files.1drv.com/y3m22WNdElG4FkhPyJQHYPPsyDRfT3NQlhbacQuasjDcQouW5ueMow3KyJgvr2wg67eJ2ZZ8jUTdkKsB_ArmWi4xe7oqP2B5hXm92...

I like research window layout as it is now. Most helpful change for me would be adding small bottle icons to each research icon indicating which science pack are needed for research. example: Right now i just automated red science and it will take me a while before i will autmate green science. So h...

Hello, while I browse for mods, Factorio crashes after few clicks on different mods. Happened twice. Crash1: 0.001 2016-06-27 20:50:08; Factorio 0.13.0 (Build 22782, win64, steam) 0.001 Operating system: Windows 10 0.001 Program arguments: "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Factorio\bin\x64\Factorio.ex...

Hi I want to try coop multiplayer . I am looking for 2-3 friends to play with. I am not interested in 'guests'. Only those who wants to play to end. Location is Europe /Czech Republic. I installed fresh headless server (0.12.29) this morning and it seems to be working ... :-) I can use Skype or othe...

From point of game perfomance (in multiplayer):
Is it better to use Item Collector or field of vanila belts to collect monster drops?

My idea about power:
Make energy transport more complex.

If you implement two problems:
- capacity of cables
- loss over long distance

Then energy would turn into another logistics problem - which is why we play Factorio
This would also add some chalenges to large field of solars.

Loaders no. Too OP. I would rather suggest: 1. remove stack bonus for bots 2. some kind of "highway/monster belt" - 2x2 pieces ... clunky belts - 8 lanes (items could be scaled down or overlapped) - inserters would use stack bonus with these belts bots will be scalpel. belts will be hammer...

I am getting error when loading auto-saved game:
btw: Cool mod!
