When building the prototype of a megabase with huge trains, I've noticed that I could use a single Cargo Wagon on 2 pieces of rail as a big 2 x 6 chest. I needed this because the 1x1 chest does not satisfy several design conditions as a temporary buffer for unloading from train directly to factories...

Yeah... I would really, really enjoy this feature!

In any way it causes this undesired behavior. Please tell me if I can help providing any further information, I'll be looking this thread actively. And many thanks for your support too.

Ok devs, please help us with this one... a mod is definitely not the solution here.

The following reddit thread shows how much this feature is missing in Factorio:

The minimal setup for reproducing this bug can be found in this attached savegame.

Hi, Trains on curved trails, especially when next to other trains, get rebuilt incorrectly when one deconstructs them and then undo the deconstruction. This happens with standard vanilla Factorio. See following screenshots: 1. Initial setup 2. Deconstruct right side 3. After deconstruction. Now undo...

Does anyone know a mod which replaces Factorio's terrain textures with pitch black textures? Like if there was no terrain texture at all? I know about Dectorio's coal texture, but it is not the same I was thinking. I don't want to place dark tiles, just make all terrain textures and biter nest textu...

My question is simple, but maybe only a Factorio programmer can answer it. When activating the Debug->Show-Transport-Lines option, some of my belt setups show stable transport lines painted blue or white, while other, specially the ones with splitters throwing stuff directly on a belt, even if compr...

There is now a more compact design posted here:

viewtopic.php?p=545644#p545644

It's possible to reduce that slightly, as it duplicates much of the work. For example a slightly shortened version: Perfect, good catch! I further improved the compactness of the design, still maintaining all of its original properties, allowing it now to be crossed by other belts. 0eNqtWU2P2jAQ/Su...

That’s for left belt input to left belt output, now do the same for left lane input (from both belts) to left lane output (from both belts), there is only one belt lane of internal capacity for two belt lanes of input. Coincidentally the “problem” for the compact 4-4 belt balancer you discovered is...

Two belt version: Seems to input balance all lanes. can someone break test this please? When using express belts and input and output are not fully compressed, the balancing is off. Sometimes it leads to one belt only containing 1 item type. I came up with this monstrosity, which is a 2-Belt Full-T...

This doesn't change the fact few artists make mods, due to their limited interested in programming LUA for hours. And programmers usually have terrible artistic skills for designing art for the mod. People could team up for developing a mods, but in practice the truth is 99% of mods have a single au...

I didn't understand the "2-2 Unlimited Throughput" though, what does it improves over the 2-2 version? Maybe I am missing something here... The normal 2-2 version shown there only has 1 path for left lane input to get to left lane output, the unlimited one has 2 paths. I did not quite und...

It makes not much sense, to put things into vanilla, which aren’t used in the end. And it makes even less sense, to do that by purpose. This is a mod. I am clearly not suggesting anything to be added to the vanilla game, please read carefully my first post. The art does not have to be embedded into...

I'll just leave these here... Lane Balancers.png Left to right: 1-1 2-2 2-2 Unlimited Throughput 2-2 Inline 3-3 4-4 4-4 Inline 5-5 To my knowledge, these are the best available however the 5-5 needs a lot of work, it's a giant mess. There's a really nice 6-6 and 8-8 out there but no one really make...

Hello Factorio Developers, I love how this game is moddable, and how these mods are able revive Factorio after one has completely explored vanilla or is eventually not satisfied with one or another vanilla limitation. However, many mods suffer from the same curse: they are implemented by LUA program...

This is the only belt design I know which truly guarantees input and output balancing. " Waste of resources " or not, for balancing 1-1 belts I would just use the 2-Belt I/O Balancer, because it doesn't use unconnected underground belts, which saves you from unwanted underground belt conne...

It's just about a new option aside disable listed mods and disable all mods which resets all mod options to default like the button in mod settings or like deleting mod-settings.dat. I would not go that far that each mod should be resetable individually on an erroneous load. Actually, it is even si...
