A project who need 2 smelter assemblers ? well you can use whatever you want.

Of course not^^. More generally speaking.

Right, nice idea! But I wanted to keep the amount of combinators as low as possible. And same for the amount of seperated networks. You probably didnt catch the idea. In case of a blueprint of a smelter, 2 rows of 24 asseblers, eg. 48 assemblers. You only need 2 combinators to make it all clocked. ...

Hey, Thanks for the responses! You could limit the input inserters to a stack size of 8, and you don't even need to clock them. This produces an output of 11.2 science packs in 344 ticks. Yeah, but then the logistics network manager go crazy for all those bots who fly for a not full cargo. You can r...

Dear factorians, while preparing for my next project i come across some unexpected assembler behavior. So i tried to exactly calculate the item flow for a certain spm through every assembler and clock the inserters to those cycle times. Thats fairly easy but then i noticed something. A first test ru...

Nevermind. Didn't read that "You can also read the current number of reservations, which will have its own interesting uses" part carfully enough.

TL;DR If not considered yet, please make the amount of currently routing trains to train stop available via circuit network. What ? While working on train stops one feature would be quite nice in addition to the limit option. I think it will be useful to check how many trains currently go to that s...

Congratulations! You created an impressiv piece of Artwork!

Happy Factorio Day!!

As an engineer you can appreciate that others built something that doesn't work the way you'd expect. Or want. Or think was reasonable. Or ever even dream of. Of course, i never criticized somebody elses design, nor do i think that i have the "best" or only working design for something. T...

If you don't stress the pipe system to the flow limits and instead have plenty of headroom with parallel lines then you don't need to care about the exact flow rate per pipe or any of the inconsistencies like build order, preferred direction and chunk based updates or whatever. But that's the point...

I think a tank - pump - tank will give you the maximum speed

I am afraid not

Ok that was to fast... you are absolutly right, my appologies.

ALSO biased depending on build order Wait... That means there is almost now way that a placed blueprint reach a maximum fluid flow. :o :shock: So the layout have to stay a good bit under the maximum flowrate :? I think a tank - pump - tank will give you the maximum speed I am afraid not :cry:

Dear Factorians, While creating blueprints for my next Megabase after v1.0 release I struggle with the fluid system. More or less i would say. (I coudn't find a better place to post this, so feel free to move if there is a better location for this.) First of all the pumps: I couldn't find a single w...

I thought you can add "Passenger present" to the train depart conditions in scheduler to get the same effect? Actually no. If you have a shuttle network of N stations and all are constantly open, one have to call a train manually to a desired station where he wants to go from. And if the ...

I'd like to push this suggestion back to a noticeable level because this is not implemented in 0.18.6 yet. I did lately came across the same idea, because then a shuttle network is easily buildable, where one can call a train by circuit condition to a Pax station and send the train to any other Pax ...
