Hello everybody. I recently started a new playthrough of Factorio, after not playing for almost a full year. I'd like to share my newest playthrough with a simple forum thread, a little bit of description and a couple of screenshots. This is currently all work in progress, and i'm going to update th...

The same happens to cargo wagons, as already stated, and happens in 0.12.13 Inserters can also get stuck on filtered cargo wagons, depending on stack size filtered and inserter upgrade level. This is only a problem if you try to load different items through the same inserter. Nothing game breaking, ...

Hello, today for some reason the game pop up this message: Unexpected error: _ _ FARL _ _/GUI.lua.370: attempt to index field "gui" (a nil value). The game keeps on spamming this error non-stop. I assume you are playing on 0.12.13 ? There's a bug breaking saved mod data when it's stored i...

But, for some reason, after loading a saved game, YARM shows all previously mapped ressource fields as depleted. (0 Ore left, -0 ores/min, never depleting). The only fix for this is to delete the fields, and remap everyone of them. Hi there, I'm guessing you're on Factorio 0.12.13. In which case, y...

First of all, thanks for the awesome mod. But, for some reason, after loading a saved game, YARM shows all previously mapped ressource fields as depleted. (0 Ore left, -0 ores/min, never depleting). The only fix for this is to delete the fields, and remap everyone of them. After remapping the percen...

Apart from the mentioned chain signals, i can not spot any faults so far. Just one improvment i'd consider: Look at the track going to the west, the northernmost one. It combines two tracks, one from the nort, one from the east. A train is moving from the north, to the west. Shortly after, a train i...

Honesty, this does not seem like a good idea. I have never tried using 4-lane tracks before, but based on my expierence so far, my biggest issues with trains is not the straight tracks, but the intersections. And after seeing the trouble an intersection with a two lane track already makes, i can not...

I've tried both styles and came to the conclusion that a mix of both seems to be working well for me. I start with a smelting facility near my first ore patches, mostly near my future factory. This will be my main smelting area for the whole game. As my first ore patches run dry, i normally start ha...

Power Armor with Reactors, Exo-Skeletons and Shields, Combat Shotgun with piercing rounds, and lot of distractor capsules. 1. Get close to biter nest without Aggroing them. 2. Drop distractor capsules towards the nest. Biters start chasing the distractors. 3. Circle around the distractors, dropping ...

Hover your mouse over the signals to see which paths they cover (the yellow arrows). I suspect the middle signal in the bottom left block of three might be the culprit. Also, you're most often better off with one-directional track. I suspect the same. I don't see why the signal should be at this po...

I really like the idea of having a central bus system. But it is obvious, that not all items are suitable to be transported all throught the base. Mainly copper wire and everything that is only needed once. I've found for myselft, that to have a effective central bus system, there are 3 important po...

I try to avoid moving large quantities of stuff around with robots. Especially when my base gets larger, robots need to recharge more often, which slows everything down. But i think the logistic robot system still has it's uses. Mostly for a short "burst" of materials. I use the system to ...

Hello, after having the same issue like you in the past, i now organize my factory right from the beginning to incorporate future expansions. Here is a picture of my new game. Although it is quite early in the game, it shows my concept: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/540/BciLC3.png As you can...

Hello, regarding your first question: First, the pumps can be used as a one-way valve, so that the liquid only flows in one direction. This can be usefull for a couple situations, for example the following. You are just prior researching oil processing 2, but your one tank of heavy oil is full. So, ...

Hello, you could even out the iron or copper belts with splitters. In your picture, put a splitter right where your character is standing. Build it that the left side of the splitter exits to your normal iron belt. The right side from the splitter should be free. Then, just build one belt with a lef...

Hello, I don't know about any tutorial, but the logistic network is not too complicated. It basically counts the number of items you have in your smart chests. If you connect your smart chest to any network, but an iron gear in the chest, the network will sense the amount of 1 for gears. Then you ca...

Ok, i try to give some pointers for the signalling system. Usually i start out with two stations, one connection line and one train, no signals. If you then set a train schedule, everything should work fine. Now i assume you put another station next to each existing station, meaning you got 4 statio...

The same way you repair all other buidlings. Build a repair tool, select it, and right-click(or left-click, not sure at the moment) on the car.

If you start your next game, set the ressources to very few and small. It adds a whole new challenge to the game. I started a new game with these settings, and i needed a new approach for gameplay. No massive factories, everything is slower, but i'm always busy finding new materials, getting to them...
