Re: 2x6 tileable Nuclear Reactor 1.76 GW

Updated the OP. Please try again. Was broken for me as well. Strange thing, there was the same defect due to some Chrome extensíon of mine I saw months ago, and I thought I tested every posted blueprint to avoid exactly this. By the way, I worked on this setup and made a few improvements. Mostly, it...

Re: Why train chooses long distance?

The way through the roundabout isn't longer. Count the tracks: it's the same amount of rail pieces. At least if I count them with the blueprint I use for this type of intersection: 1.png By the way, you might notice I use less signals and less blocks. It's still sufficient. More signals and smaller ...

Re: Train Signal: to chain or not to chain

Unfortunately, it's a bit difficult to see 2) in the regular game. To inspect things, create a sandbox game and switch to the map editor (use /editor). In map editor mode, you can pause processing, or decelerate tick processing and even single step through every game tick, so you can freeze and thor...

Re: Train Signal: to chain or not to chain

So I guess there's nothing that I can do if a train starts crossing from the top to "e" and while it is doing it a train comes from "f to e" and makes the vertical train stop in the middle of the intersection thus blocking "c to d". The vertical train stop in the middl...

Re: Tried and tested *input* belt balancers

For example, for a wagon of 2000 ore and four stack inserters with stack size 12, after 31 swings, 32 ore will remain in the wagon, so two inserters will take 12 each, one inserter will take eight, and one will get none. The same inserters will do the same thing with the next train, and the next, ....

Re: Tried and tested *input* belt balancers

Just using a 4to4 lane balancer doesn't completely ensure chests are unloaded equally. It also depends on how items are pulled from the chests. If there is just one inserter pulling from one chest feeding one lane, all is fine. Put a lane balancer behind and everything is pulled equally. But if you ...

Re: Assemblers and logistic chests

In general, your understanding is correct. I'd try to give a more practical explanation: use regular chests if bots aren't supposed to deal with the content, neither with filling nor with fetching use requester chests at the input side of an inserter to supply that inserter with an item, which is th...

Re: Bus/Rail oil products

It's somewhat coincidence the ratios and belt capacity seem like tailored to exactly...

Re: need help with heat pipe layout, pls

Your setup wastes possible neighborhood bonus for many reactors. The optimal reactor setup is a long row of double reactors. Such a row provides every reactor except the 4 reactors at the two ends with 3 sides of neighborhood bonus, and the 4 reactors with 2 sides of neighborhood bonus, so for n rea...

All these blueprints work for me on Factoriobin. I recommend you research why your browser doesn't work.

Re: factorio on Microsoft Surface tablet with windows 11?

A suggestion (although you seem to have done things differently): Create a new Windows account on your gaming PC and install Factorio from *.zip or from Steam. This way both Factorio saves and configuration reside on the same computer, but in different Windows user profiles. In case you used Steam a...

Re: Recover Blueprints from v1.0.0 (says: v0.15!) to v1.1

You have 2 storages for blueprints. One is global ("My Blueprints" category) and one is save-specific ("Game Blueprints" category). Seems a valid way to move all blueprints from "My Blueprints" to "Game Blueprints", then upgrade the save, then move the bluepri...

Re: Bad balancer

It seems you're missing a small but important thing about balancers. They can be input balanced, and they can be output balanced. An output balanced balancer tries to fully satisfy its output, no matter unevenly pulling from the input. An input balanced balancer pulls equally from all input, and if ...

Re: Train inventory logic

Great that it works. Now that you're in supply stations, next task for you: develop a loading station that dynamically requests items from the logistics network that are missing in the train and doesn't hardcode the chests and inserters with one material.
