I just heard about this from reddit! Interesting!. Do you have a link? I spent a lot of time doing almost the same thing, but didn't finish inserter, train-stop, upgrade planner, or the snap to grid data. (Or any infinity types, or tags.) I especially wasted time trying to generate 100% identical j...

The mining speed is just specifically talking about the mining drill, [...] IMHO not exactly : The "mining speed" for the mining drill as shown in the wiki page is indeed a multiplier and as such has no suffix (sic?) like "1/s". The "mining speed" as shown in-game does...

When hovering over the electric mining driller sitting on an uranium ore patch the dialog shows "Mining speed: 0.5/s". Experiments and the Wiki for Electrik Mining Drill show 0.25/s instead.

Found this playing 1.0.0 but verified in 1.1.12.

The level.dat header is really good reverse engineered, [...] The project where we read the header: https://github.com/OpenFactorioServerManager/factorio-server-manager/blob/develop/src/factorio/save.go#L79 Just to make sure the difference is clear: The linked project (Go) and the linked Python scr...

+1 This is indeed one of the most annoying little things in the game I encounter regularly. Another unmentioned aspect: When zooming out of the map then station names are hidden automatically above(below?) a certain zoom level. So in "overview mode" there actually NO indication whether a s...

I think we miss each other: All those posts seem to be about version incompatibilities with the original blueprint-storage.dat . I consider that accepted knowledge, too. The "quite" part was about the import/export strings which - AFAIK - have not changed in an incompatible way. Even if th...

The most important thing about blueprint storage that relates to 99.9% of players is that it should be compatible when downgrading game version.

AFAIK the import/export strings are quite stable. The mentioned tool uses that format (in uncompressed form).

I've decoded the blueprint-storage.dat format -- the code is in GitHub: Factorio Blueprint Decode
You can use that code as a description of the format

I've decoded the blueprint-storage.dat format -- you can see the code here: GitHub: Factorio Blueprint Decoder . The tool transforms the file into a JSON structure of a blueprint-book. The JSON can be encoded into a standard import/export string. The file format for level.dat seems to use similar da...

I've written a tool to decode blueprint-storage.dat format into JSON and from there into the standard import/export string. With a tool like like jq you could split the JSON file into separate books/blueprints and store them in an directory and put them in version control separatly. Restoring would ...

If you are using Linux you can give it a try:

The problem - Using @asheiduk's example, the train stop schedule looks like this:

Note that in my example "red", "green", ... do not refer to the color-signals but to the science packs of the mentioned color. Sorry for being not precise enough.

An example from my actual base: A train supplies the science packs to my lab cluster. The train shall fetch new science packs when/if one of the colors is below a certain threshold AND a certain time has passed. The later term prevents immediate departure when the last run did not fetch enough packs...
