... you're reducing a layout by half to 2/3 size depending on your starting point. And that's just on ratios of material produced, once you factor in power layout size is improved even more (beacon power costs combined with more effective environment modules).

When seeds are added in, well they're ...

A small thing, performance wise the best for the game is “one huge electric network where everything always has power”. Not having power or going from having to not and back end up making the overall game performance worse.

With that in mind, designing game mechanics to actively encourage and make ...

I mainly use it for malls but if made correctly you can power an entire mega base with this thing!(with smelteries dotted about inside the Omni Assembler block)

Edit 2: Finally I ...

Fixed it was possible to set "solar" usage priority for electric energy source of entities that are not a solar panel.

Was it a bug?
That might be a nice feature for power source management for mods.

Hello,

I'm trying K2 for 2.0, just realized that Wind Turbine is not displaying the power production inside the Info Tooltip and Factoriopedia:

Seems ok once the turbine is built:

... can tell you from my own experience having solar the moment your rocket silo is built is not at all logical, you can get there very easy with steam power. I actually think me and OP's 'challenge' is a very normal way to play because the game is designed on purpose such that you open the techtree in ...

... another suggestion (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=119792) for the sake of having more options but otherwise I strongly agree.


More power production options could be nice to have, however keep in mind that even if solar panels weren't required on space platforms, they'd still be ...

... pipe+belt contraptions. It's so depressing, if I compare this mess with the beautiful 4 foundry layout where you just connect some output with some input, no storage tanks, no trash handling, just input ingredients and output products.

Seems like it, but shouldn't running out of power immediately update the position to avoid such jumps?


The performance optimization means that it doesn't actually check the power level at every point. Seems like it's not checking for how much power is left until after it tries to subtract how ...

Steps to Reproduce

Deploy a Display panel with "Show in chart"
Have recipe icons, power lines, and pipelines enabled
Add a map tag near it


Expected:

Map tag & display panel have the same draw priority


Actual:

Power lines have priority above all (ok)
Map tag has priority over ...
