Thank you, I misunderstood how the schedule works.
Thank you for the solution to the dispatch problem, I'll add it to my depot blueprint.

In this configuration, the train is waiting for Provider to become available.
When Provider becomes available, the train should go to Provider.
Instead, it skips Provider and goes straight to Requester.

See attached save file for reproduction.

Ok from what I've seen this is going to need a lot of work from scratch (including the map design).
I'll try to find some time to do it, but I can't guarantee anything.
Should still be neat though.

Woo, I haven't update this map in a looong time. If I recall correctly, defines.lua defined a few constant in the game. It is highly probable that this scenario doesn't work at all in factorio 0.14. If you want, I can take some time to update it so that it works with the new factorio version. I'm ha...

there is an UI on the top-left corner of the screen:

moving chests or crates could a be really fun solution for transporting goods at any rate. it would introduce a brand new mechanic for train logistics. perhaps you should make full chests not holdable by conventional means, only holdable by vehicles such as trains, cars and tanks (at a rate of about...

Seriously, in PvP, the only counter to a tank is another tank. Laser turrets don't shoot far enough. Mines barely scratch them. So basically if you don't have another tank or a power armor you're doomed. That and the fact that no static defense will ever be able to stop them (yes, we tried mines + d...

OK so apparently Diplomacy is bugged in that it keeps resetting to Hostile after reloads.
I'll try to fix that for the next release too.

Tanker wagons are planned. This stuff with barrels is just a quick fix until then. To be honest, I feel like having barrels of lubricant would be a really practical addition. One hardly uses lubricant for anything, and when lubricant is needed, it is in small quantities. Having drones flying by wit...

I plan on adding the following changes for the next update: Add train stops to the always_neutral list Prevent players from other factions from building stuff near an enemy faction's spawn (to prevent turret spawn camping) Add a prep time during which players can't leave their spawn (something aroun...

Yes, research, logistic networks and gameplay modifiers are distinct for each faction.
You can check the lua documentation to learn more.

I have to admit I have a new-found respect for the people that designed the factorio trailer. Mapmaking is exhausting, even though I only designed, like, 12 major locations. Roads and small ruins are painfully tedious to make. So yeah, a big hurray for those amazing people, because it's thanks to th...

A magnetic storm has sent your fleet crashing on an alien planet. As you recover in the ruins of old factories, you learn from your radio signals that the other survivors have started fighting over resources to get back into space. It is up to you to collaborate with other players, or beat the crap...

Right now, with the lua api, we can allow a ceasefire between two forces: my_force.set_cease_fire(their_force, true) Now, there is still one problem, in that a force should allow another to access containers and open doors. Something like: my_force.set_interaction_permission(their_force, true) This ...

Solved, changed the force of every player entity to "neutral"

EDIT: currently adding diplomacy menu.

Ok I solved the two problems myself in the meantime: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40487730/Games/Factorio/PvP/Screenshot_2016-03-06_14-49-41.png https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40487730/Games/Factorio/PvP/Screenshot_2016-03-06_14-49-55.png However, another problem arose: https://dl.dropbo...

you're using the wrong tab.
the tap you want to use is the "entity" tab (the third one)
take the hand tool, select an entity, and right click to place it.
you can use "x" to delete an entity while hovering above it.

works fine on my side.

are you talking about doors by any chance?

It should be the same key as in game (default is r)
you can't rotate walls though.

I've encountered a recurring problem when playing multiplayer with friends on co-op. We're never able to agree on setup decisions and other trivial stuff, and we keep fighting over who gets to design which part of the base. In order to solve this problem, I decided to create a custom scenario with f...
