Re: Decider combinator weird "anything" output

Re: [2.0.23] rotating belt in between two splitters isnt doing what i want

Rotating moves the output direction of a belt. From the situation in the screenshot, rotating twice in either direction should make the belt output to the right. It won't be a top to right curve however, belts prefer going straight and since there's a belt coming in from the left, that one will be ...

Re: [2.0.21] Flat GUI is not flat for Space platform hub.

For the landing pad in particular, how many logistics requests do you expect to be set by a typical player? Except for Nauvis I currently use at most one row, which would still nicely fit a a two pane layout; compare a rare buffer chest, its UI has the same space requirement. Once we get scrollbars ...

Re: [2.0.21] Flat GUI is not flat for Space platform hub.


Are there players who would prefer the compact layout even on a big screen?


Define "big". I'm on normal(?) 1920x1080 and immediately reverted to the tabbed version when the flat GUI was introduced. I only need to access the logistics requests infrequently; being able to see (and interact with ...

Why is it possible in two separate locations then? It works just fine on the alerts menu in the bottom, and on spaceships.


See FFF 415, section "Faster construction robot tasks". Tl;dr: Things were optimized for 2.0 and we're no longer limited to 600 construction alerts like in 1.1. But there's ...

Re: Version 2.0.20

I'd say there are currently 2 "issues" with the wire icons. First is stylistic consistence; the dark border seems to be thicker than the lines in e.g. the paste and import blueprint icons, causing them to stand out. Second is the mismatch between the icon and the tool you get when selecting them ...

Re: No Deconstruction Timeout





I mark something for deconstruction, because I want it to be deconstructed. I think, it adds to confusion, if the game decides, that the order was not important after 2 hours and removes it (probably without notice). If you work on a big project like solar, 2 hours might be short. Importance ...

Re: [kovarex] [2.0.12] Rocket automatically launched when not expected

I see multiple ways:

As kovarex wrote at the end of his post, disable automatic requests on the other platforms while you need manual/targeted launches.
Do not fill up the rocket (e.g. send only 49 space platforms instead of 50)
Put in an item combination that's only requested by the target ...

Re: Let us read space request from combinators regardless of the planet having the supply.

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 ...

Re: Simple way to cap a circuit signal at a maximum value?

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 ...

Re: Let us read space request from combinators regardless of the planet having the supply.

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 ...

Re: have elevated and ground tracks not share color, if they "intersect"

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.)

Re: Autosave not autosaving at correct intervals

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.
