Very mature to call people "kids" by just small grammar mistakes


You're misunderstanding their post. While they're calling out your mistake, if it was understood as a mistake in the first place ("optimalization" to me feels similar to German "Verschlimmbesserung"), it is unrelated to the ...

I'm saying there is a way to "hear" the ships requests, the silo can expose them on the circuit network. Since you were talking about using combinators to build the requests on demand, I thought that's all the help you'd need. If you absolutely need to have the ships requests also be requests in ...

The OP got very close to the solution. Instead of putting the maximum directly into the deciders, put it into a constant combinator connected to both deciders, using the other wire color.
Decider 1: Each red <= Each green, output Each red
Decider 2: Each red > Each green, output Each green
You can ...

What's wrong with hPa? Since the game talks about atmospheric pressure, hPa would be what I'm used to, from e.g. weather forecasts.

What the "read station requests" option does is exposing the requests on the circuit network, not the logistics network. The logistics network is controlled by "automatic requests from space stations" and, as you describe, only requests full rockets of a single item when they're available; probably ...

Regarding accented letter search, note that in, e.g., Swedish, the letters å, ä, and ö are not accented versions of a and o, but separate letters, and searching for "a" should not match those letters, or vice versa. Of course I have not tried the new search and am not even using the Swedish ...

Generally this should be attempted, but it can't be guaranteed. With elevated rails you can construct pathological cases where a fixed number of colors will never suffice. (With only a single layer having 4 colors is enough.)

It means we can always have three significant figures, regardless of magnitude (within reason, haha).


I approve of always having three significant digits, but why not recycle the pattern we have for large numbers? Ideally I'd like three digits, potentially with a decimal point, followed by an ...

source?

As far as I know, factorio measures the autosave interval in in-game time. 76 minutes between two autosaves (= 10 in-game minutes) is about 7.9 UPS, which matches the number you gave.

car and tank difficult to drive (forward is not forward, if not driving north)


Controls being relative to the vehicles orientation feels pretty natural to me, with two related reasons coming to mind: 2D top down racing games and playing with RC cars irl both use this control scheme.
What ...

That's up to the mod authors. The portal tends to show only the newest version, but as long the old ones aren't deleted, they'll be available.

Generally this is difficult due to factorios deterministic nature. In multiplayer game, map, mods and startup settings have to be identical for all players. As consequence, the easier methods of passing data around are simply not available. (While a mod can for example write files to the script ...

*pout* But I want my beacon with 1000000 speed modules. That table will be huge and the noise function just a sqrt(). :lol:


What counts is the number of beacons, not the number of modules inside these beacons.

Which value gets used if you manage to put more beacons around an ...

They're probably referring their other thread

If you set the output of the deciders to the same signal you can omit the arithmetic combinator, the circuit network will add the outputs for free.

With 2.0, which is just two month away, a single decider will be able to test multiple conditions at once, similar to what wait conditions in a train's ...

I hope that the Energy Net Code at least handles quantity of individual Networks a bit less laggy.

I once had a few hundred networks going on when removing Solar Fields from my Base, and it somehow lagged a LOT more than when those power poles were connected. They did not even have any Batteries ...

The 'DLC' isn't a stand alone game at $35 though right? Anyone who becomes interested based on these features would have to buy both titles together for $70?

Such a person should, in my opinion, first try the demo, then the base game and only then consider the expansion.


would they than need ...

If you read about https://mods.factorio.com/mod/sparkletrons-terraformers-final you see why these other mods are needed. Apparently they can be used to improve performance of other mods! :) :idea:

Do we prefer a handful of these mods and people depending on the ones already existing, or do we ...

The track seemed to be offset by half it's width without a way to make them line up. I had to stare at it a while before I realized I was just looking at overlapping parallel tracks at 30 degrees. The same thing exists at 60 degrees, and at 45 degrees they're right up against each other, not quite ...
