I dont have any programming knowledge i just wanted to help. Thats why i searched it and instant found something. I thought it might be helpfull. I'm sorry for being rude, but do you think devs can't google themselves? The real cost of a feature is not an implementation, which might be rather trivi...

It's not. It was moved into production tab, update your game.

P.S. Which version do you play?

What Add an overall graph for the electric network (new tab, probably?). Show potential demand as a red line and a potential supply as a green line on the first graph. Show accumulators charge on the second graph. Just the same numbers as shown on the bars, but as a graph. Why Graphs are split by p...

Very clean and suitable for manual build. I like it!

If you resort to some weaving, you can squeeze it even further:

making a unidirectional bypass long enough to allow two trains to wait in each side

It's better to add another bypass in the middle of bidirectional track than gathering trains at the ends, I think. You may get almost 2x throughput from that.

Most entities have unique unit_number, as far as I remember. Would it be enough in this case?

In which situation would it deadlock?

Something like that:
Your previous design is immune to such deadlocks: it never allows two trains to occupy both bypass lanes in the same direction.

You can make your bypasses bidirectional, but that doesn't increase troughput, so it's a waste of signals.

Not only a waste of signals, but a potential cause for (rare) deadlocks.

varies

It's almost always 30s for midgame technologies and increases to 60 at endgame.

So you can build enough labs to run 30s researches at desired speed and double them later.

Something like this?

P.S. You can blueprint them even in vanilla and bots will build them and bring some fuel. But they will stay in manual mode until you switch them to auto, unfortunately.

Looks like LuaRecipes are objects from the C++ side, not usual tables. I doubt you can dump them that way... You can loop over them and dump their properties one by one, though. https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaRecipe.html Alternative approach is to dump them a bit earlier, at the data stage: ...

Well, it is a water... You can even build offshore pump near it.

JavaScript, a widely known scripting language with c-syntax

Another cool feature of V8 is that you can use other languages like TypeScript if you don't like JS and want stricter type checks.

setting up cross-compilation to Mac and Linux

In theory, devs can provide ready-made SDK where everything is set up and ready to work. It's a total overkill and Sisyphean labor, though. Unless you're creating a generic engine like UE or Unity.

so it's a mystery to me why the config.ini doesn't work

Headless mode uses server-settings.json, GUI mode uses config.ini, as far as I remember.

Linux uses a config.ini instead of a .json

It respects game_password and other settings from the server-settings.json, not from the config.ini. Just checked it on my VPS.

Server options should be specified in server-settings.json, as far as I remember. Make a copy of example file (server-settings.example.json), fill the settings and pass it through --server-settings argument.

Pass server-settings.json to --server-settings, pass config.ini to --config.
