Re: Friday Facts #275 - 0.17 Science changes

If you can live with non-perfect ratios it's really simple: Undergrounding the stone is not really needed. You could move the belts down by one instead. I found it a bit prettier this way. If you can make a nice looking blueprint for all-in-one-1000-science would be nice :D my wife is already screa...

Re: Friday Facts #273 - Cutscene controller & Localisation plan

The result of the questionnaire will be skewed towards people who is reading English and the FFF. Well, i hope so. Localisation in a game like Factorio (so small company) should be kept to a minimum. German, english, french , maybe spanish. Russian/polish could also be valid later. Localisation tak...

Re: Choosing train and track sizes

didn't saw it yet, but if you play with mods and want to use alot of trains, go with LTN .... makes live so much easier. Special the refueling of trains, as you have depots where the trains park and are easy to refuel. And for the intersection you might check this thread: https://forums.factorio.com...

Re: Example station setup questions

One of the garbage stations in the LTN station threads is mine, so i can explain :D Its a normal provider station from the bluebook with all the LTN stations plus the filter by Optera, so you can filter out the fuel that you deliver to depots. Otherwise you create endless loops. If you use the depot...

Re: 16.16 Ore smelting to fully compressed blue belts

i use this setup https://factorioprints.com/view/-KogJ8c9HZT3nJRErsIz

A bit compacter but you need ALOT of underground belt. You can put as many next to each other as you need and overlap the beacon. I use at the moment 56 of these rows for IronPlate production.

Re: Station setup w/o inserters/slight tutorial request

i have multiple blocks, at the moment 9 , each with 10 depots for l-cccc-l and one for 10 tanker. Each block is named depotX where X is 1-9. So i see always how many trains are in each depot.

How do you prevent clocking of your tracks before/after depot if you centralice it in one place?

well, sometimes the point of mining is , that the ore field disappears... if you start a map with horrible ore settings and you have thousands of little patches and no place to build, then you want them to be gone.
