Sure, it's possible, if you know the correct build order for everything. I still have to look through items to find the recipes, especially if I'm playing with mods.

For example, when I go to mine some stone, how much stone do I need? 5? 8? Time to check the Stone Furnace recipe.

There's no reason ...

In the early game I'd love to be able to stand on top of a resource patch and have it be harvested while I interact with other parts of the GUI (reading recipes, queuing production, etc).

A mod could certainly add this. Maybe post a feature request to one of the mods that adds smarts to the logistics network?

Next time, instead of one by one, turn half of them on/off at a time. Will require a lot fewer restarts to identify the culprit.

*maybe* you could define some half-width belts that don't collide with each other, and lay them both down in the same tiles?

Did you miss the part where I wrote this mod two years before K&L Inserters came out?

I think something is wrong with your windows roaming profile configuration. Your progress and saved games are going to get written to this path, and if they aren't there later then something outside of Factorio is removing them.

That's good to know, and unfortunate for my plans. If I'm going to place miners in a loop, one of them will have to be placed out of order

I didn't realize a miner could push items onto an underground belt from the "back". Good to know!

I know that inserters pull fuel from miners.

My problem/question is about timing. If I have one burner miner sticking fuel into another burner miner while an inserter waits to pull fuel out of that second miner, why does it get grabbed before it gets burned?

That is... a scary solution. Got links to any of those?

Sorry for the dupe. Thanks.

Many versions ago (0.9) I made a mod that added right angle inserters and a few other custom inserter types (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=2719). I'm planning to update that mod for 0.12. It would be nice if eventually we could have mods that let the player manipulate the behavior ...

Fresh game with default settings on OSX.

Steps to reproduce:

This is 3 'wasted' space per 3 miners, or 90% efficiency. To be fair, we should probably be including the footprint of a roboport in the logistic chest solutions here, because in a large enough deposit the roboport will have to sit on some of the ore. The roboport uses up 9 spaces out of 2500, so I ...

UI scaling isn't related to game zoom, afaik. I'm talking about the zooming you normally do with the mouse wheel.

Also, don't assume that a repeating pattern is the optimal solution here. There is such a thing as tiling that can never repeat, such as penrose tiles.

I vaguely recall having a mod, back around 0.9, that gave me UI buttons for zooming to specific zoom levels. I can't find it. Does it exist? Is it updated? Should I write a new one?

feature request: instead of clicking the time multiplier switching to 1x then to 64x, make it remember what speed I was using and switch between that and 1x.
