Re: Multiplayer UPS abnormally low
Here is the required screenshot. I have a copy of the logfile which I am happy to share if needed. I'm not sure if there's anything in that file which is personally-identifying, so I will wait to do that unless you need it.
At any rate, I do not think there is actually a bug here. Just making sure ...

Re: Deathworld Marathon: Great game
Currently entering late game on a Death World play through and I enjoyed it. There were definitely some close calls in the early game. "If I don't win this fight and take this ore patch, I'm dead." Unlocking artillery did feel like a breaking point. Could finally drive everything far enough away ...

Re: Fluid Purity : an Item-Quality-like mechanic for Fluids
Do you need a special recycler for this? Once something's been made with the fluid (eg. iron plate) it already recycles into itself, as does Holmium plate, for the very reason that it can come from ore or a liquid. AFAIK all such items do. By your own rules, the creation of pure fluids is ...

☝️ what he said. Either leave in the pad (what I do, since there will be a million cargo bays on Nauvis anyway for drop volume) or pull it out and into the logi net.
I don't think it's worked like that ever, or not in a long time. I did something similar last year when SA launched, pulling things ...

Re: Circuit-Established Landing Pad Requests Not Truly Fulfilled
It's not a bug, but you're overthinking it. Request 1000 in the landing pad (or set that request). It will subtract the contents and request the remainder automatically.

Re: Let's talk train design
I just stumbled about this topic. And I actually set up a trainsystem with that idea:
- Empty trains wait central depot stations.
- Requester stations will only request as many trains as they can actually empty out.
- Provider stations will only be activated, if they have enough to supply a ...

Re: Let's talk train design
Hmm. You are right. It is not straightforward that it does not work for loading. -> I think it can be made that way, that it does not have to empty, so it "remember" what to load and unload all the time, because the cargo is not empty. "I got oil, okay I start to unload it. I am almost empty ...

Re: Let's talk train design
Nooby question but is the reason why you'd need/want something more complex than the standard "bag of trains" interrupt-based approach described in the FFF just around not needing to make as many trains? I've been using that for a bit and haven't really ramped up too much but I did notice ...

Re: Let's talk train design
I re-read the FFFs and didn't see where they mention LTN specifically. The idea that interrupts can *replace* LTN in a working factory was the immediate reaction to those blog posts. But the community has been trying for a year and a half to *replicate* LTN with interrupts alone and largely failed ...

What you describe is essentially the intended approach from the FFF. Their solution is really only intended to abstract away the train type and schedule and not be a "vanilla LTN".
However, in the FFF, they say that LTN is one of the things you can build with this system. I am interested ...

Re: Let's talk train design
New idea:
- Have a supply train attempt to go to the requester first. If destination not full, reroute to a supplier. If destination full, go to wait for some duration.
---- Reason: Even if 11 suppliers are open, only one train will dispatch if only one requester is open. The rest will fail the ...

Let's talk train design
Here is something that's currently on my mind. We all want to build a logistic train system in vanilla. It sounded so easy in the FFF. Here's the problem: The natural way to do it with interrupts doesn't work with multiple provider stations. I think by now, all the train afficianados know the type ...

Re: If you could land on the Shattered Planet, what would it be like?
The core of the planet is where all the gravity is. That will pull heavier elements down. So, the sky's the limit. Because we don't know what promethium is, and what it's elemental properties are. So we don't know what is there.
Heavier elements could include things like gold, or uranium. Gravity ...

Re: If you could land on the Shattered Planet, what would it be like?
Considering how ships usually crash-land there, I'd imagine a world filled with rogue turrets, biters, maybe a few spidertrons and tanks, all shooting at each other and the player. There will be scraps recycling to legendary buildings while spawning tough living enemies when recycled.
With the ...

Re: If you could land on the Shattered Planet, what would it be like?
I'll go first. Little islands which can't be connected by rails, belts, or maybe even bots. Instead you attach engines to them so you can push production around as needed. These can be scheduled like trains. You need some mechanic to keep the player from bunching up too many of them.
