I would then assume that [...] therefore you cannot 'save fuel' by only adding uranium right before it loses the necessary temperature to power the turbines?


If you can insert at the last possible moment, you can indeed save fuel. Timing that moment is not trivial, though it is easier than it ...

Waow, that's a nice one x) it was often requested by players ways to deal entirely without robots or ship the components of the rocket parts with inserters and belt only, and it was there all along ! Quite convoluted but making a lot of sense when thinking of it :)

The Concept
I am proposing a new tool (or a new mode for the Deconstruction Planner) that allows us to use an existing Blueprint as a Deconstruction Mask.
The Problem
Currently, refactoring large structures (like City Blocks) is tedious.
Shift + Click only deconstructs entities that have a hard ...

Productivity would allow the agricultural tower to produce more plants per operation
Speed would allow the agricultural tower to produce plants faster
Quality would make the agricultural tower produce higher quality plants

Why wouldn't any of these work?


Because code-wise, none of those ...

Recreation:
Have a recipe which doesn't accept modules, but the furnace does. A simple example:
local steel_recipe = data.raw.recipe["steel-plate"]
steel_recipe.allow_productivity = false


Mod:

Place modules in a furnace:

It takes each combinator 1 tick to process input to output. If you want to make sure that you are comparing results from the train contents at the same instant, your two chains of combinators have to be the same length. If one is a step longer than the other you can insert a 'dummy' step before ...

... an orderly fashion.



if sort_and_merge is not the only function to ignore entity owner rules, what is with these functions:

LuaInventory::can_insert

Attached is a save file that when switching to Nauvis the camera should focus on a specific inserter that has a filter to only insert bioflux into a captive biter spawner. Within a few seconds of this save being loaded, the inserter will pick up a piece of bioflux that will turn into spoilage as the ...

With 2.0.38 we got the proxy-container with `proxy_target_entity` and `proxy_target_inventory`
Which allowed me to create this mod (WIP), where you can insert/outsert from custom inventories.

I currently implemented this by adding some invisible proxy-containers at the ...

This can happen with a captive biter spawner, with a bioflux spoiling into spoilage. The inserter then waits for the biter eggs to be pulled out before it can insert the spoilage.

This can happen with a captive biter spawner, with a bioflux spoiling into spoilage. The inserter then waits for the biter eggs to be pulled out before it can insert the spoilage.

Since eggs don't spoil in the spawner, many players keep some amount of eggs in the spawner. In our case, it means no ...

Trying to insert a construction bot into a steel chest, no logi network or roboports nearby, just the single spidertron and a steel chest. It has 100 bots in it's inventor, only 25 capacity from personal roboport. The spidertron can insert any other item in the chest except construction bots.

The ...

I was able to do this by creating a train station, putting a roboport next to it, and then inserting the robots from another station and dropping it off. You can insert the robots directly from the cargo train into the roboport to bootstrap things.

You can see in the various modding descriptions - like the link you posted - that the information is there. It has a name! You can see the value in the game! But why can't I change it? Where does it get this information from? Why 5? Why 10? Why this complicated bs: "The number of science packs ...

Welcome to the forum, and thank you for the report.

This is not a bug.
If the inserters are already holding something (or you put it into their hand) they will put it into machine's trash slot, so they are able to feed it what it wants.
They will not start putting random things into empty machines ...

Good day!

Faced an interesting bug when any item manually put into an inserter hand would be placed into cryoplant.
Video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opgc1D9UHZc

I placed the inserter under cryoplant which was making lithium from lithium brine.
Cryoplant was full of crafted lithium ...

As far as my tests go: Recycling products are always placed into the recycler's output slots in a specific order. Recycling Low-Density Structure (LDS) will always produce steel in the first slot, copper plate in the second slot and plastic in the third slot.
If you empty out a recycler and recycle ...
