One issue with this is how to convey to the player what the limits are in a given module. The distinction of what recipes accept what module effects is already confusing. Hovering a machine's module slots gives a tooltip listing the accepted modules, including restrictions from the current recipe, ...

Trains can do this probably since their introduction, at least for longer than I'm playing Factorio. Please post pictures of your setup or the save, there's probably an error in your signaling. But note that trains will only change the direction of travel when leaving a station (and when they're ini...

the train is meant to go to the "full" stop when the cargo is full, and is meant to go to the empty stop when the cargo is "empty". In the video, you'll see it's going to the "full" stop when the cargo is instead empty, and vice versa to the "empty" stop when...

To put it in simpler/other words: The request is to reorder the info pane so that "Logistic System Storage" (and other "show all items/signals"-like entries) is the final/bottommost entry.

Framerate will never be higher than game update rate (UPS), which is 60Hz at normal speed.

Judging from the final sentence, compared to the previous tick.

You can call it recycling, by all means, but disassembling function I could imagine is for example: first you build a low density structure, requiring well copper plates, plastic, and iron, in a certain amount per item. Disassembling a low density structure could result in the raw materials, even w...

Providing a non-zero R resets the memory (combinator 3) to zero. But you're providing I and R at the same time. Since setting and resetting are obviously conflicting commands, you now have to figure out which one takes priority. From reading the description you can see that setting internally also g...

deconstruction planner --> wait for robot --> put deconstruction planner away You don't have to wait for the deconstruction to be done. Once it's marked you can put blueprints on top of it. But, like atomizer said, shift clicking with the blueprint to automatically deconstruct all natural obstructi...

There are mods for that.

You're running out of memory. Sounds like the map got larger than what the switch can handle.

I think I found one piece of the puzzle, at least for some linux users: When using a fresh install, the state of the non-blocking saving option toggles whether the save-name in player-data.json will be clean or garbage. I don't think this is the actual cause, since non-blocking saving can't explain ...

Inserters act as soon as the train in front of them arrives, but signals take one tick per combinator to propagate. You need to make sure the inserters are disabled while the station is empty. Train stops can read the id of the stopped train (default signal T). If T == 0, the station is empty.

1.0 is essentially a continuation of the 0.18 branch, that's why there's no 0.18 version archived. During the beta, I recall factorio being able to load games up to two versions older that itself, but that being cut to one version for 1.0. My current 1.1.76 claims to be able to load games with versi...

Here are the blueprints I have for filtering. The first three I found in a blueprint book somewhere, the last two are my adaptions for the filtering signal being boolean (0/1). All use 5 to 7 combinators and 2 ticks. 0eNrtXF1vm0gU/SuIp7YLFTPAQKw00m5X+1R1pWq1u1ITWRhPklH5sGBI1qr833cAx2CHjxkbYxzz0hSDLz...

Power pole plus lamp screams output, but a description in plain English is always useful, so we can get a better idea what a circuit does from just reading the post and not having to try it out ingame. As examples: Adds signal I to the output indicating that this is the I th lowest number. Signals t...

Would normalizing the short forms into the fully specified forms after the execution of each data*.lua be an option? What exactly do you mean by "after the execution of each data*.lua"? Even if all prototype attributes were normalized at the end of a data stage, you couldn't trust that th...

Would normalizing the short forms into the fully specified forms after the execution of each data*.lua be an option?

Or, as alternative, providing utility functions for these normalizations, so mods can rely on a single known-good implementation instead of having to reinvent the wheel?

Edit: One thing I'll say is that 1 copper produces 2 wire, so if you fully utilize one belt of copper, you should be getting two belts of wire.

Factoring in the productivity bonus, this ends up being 2.8 belts of wire.
