I mend for the user to implement. Lets see, this coal needs to go to the steel smelter. Was that ID 4532 or 4523? Ah ok, now i got your point. But this problem is only how you organise your base: Let us assume, you have three outposts, that needs coal. Then you can set up the train stations of the ...

Very hard to implement I feel confident, that train stops have an internal id actually and we just don't see them - like the train id you can use already. So, all what the developer have to do is to extend the ui/api of the game so we have (read)-access to this value and add a scheduling option for...

So for a fully dynamic setup you would have just one station in the schedule: "Read Signal 'S': Wait for Condition G=1". Then at each station you send S for the next station and G=1 when you want the train to leave. I like it. Exactly. Simplify the schedule, make the circuit network logic...

Another solition would be something like this: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=53792&p=315599#p315599 The train-stop need a way to send a defined signal of it's own id to the circuit network, similar to the train id it can read and send to network (e.g. "Send your ID to ...

Just build refuel-stations and add this to every train you have and let them wait a few seconds.

Extremely simple and just works

Recipes produce items, not entities. You create an entity in the first part of your code. You'll also have to create the item to be able to make it the result of the recipe. Where i have to define which ressources are needed for my alternate train-stop? You can't extend prototypes. They have the pr...

Can someone help please: -- item.lua local TrainStop = table.deepcopy(data.raw["train-stop"]["train-stop"]) TrainStop.name = "train-stop-alt" --TrainStop.default_id_signal = {type = "virtual", name = "signal-S"} local TrainStopRecipe = table.deepcopy...

Hello @all, i've searched in the existing mods, but i didn't find any appropiate. I want to have two things additionally to the existing train and train-stop-logics: The train-stop need a way to send a defined signal of it's own id to the circuit network, similar to the train id it can read and send...

Hello everyone! I have a main base with a mainbus system. My next goal is to stretch the production into some outposts (smelting of my ores to plates is sourced out already). My next step is to source out the production of green circuits. But here is my problem: I need metal plates in my mainbase an...

Did you understand the request of OP?

@OP: Without Mods, there is no way, actually. But perhaps in a future release.

do you think they are cheap ? because nuclear reactor will give 1 year worth of electricity, so i can ignore electric problem after i make 2 of it. You change your mind after you start to think big. At the moment, i'm preparing my first Pre-Megabase, so i build a 2x2-NPP-Setup for the first time. I...

Underground pipes will no longer connect if there is candidate ghost underground pipe between them.

Cone somebody explain this change a little bit more? I don't get it...

Thx

After finishing the game, DLCs would be great. I have no problem to pay 10 to 15 bucks every half a year to support the dev team to continue the development for this game. With upcoming released DLC they could make something like a battle chest (like WoW) for new players to get the stuff to an actua...

Hello there, with the latest experimental version of factorio i can't set the sprite details on high, because i got this error message: Not enough video memory (VRAM) We could not detect how much video memory (VRAM) is available on this cvomputer. The recommend... When i start GPU-Z, it shows me the...

Ahh... found something to this question.

Just ignore me and my dumbness to search for the things i wanna know...

Allthough the default language in this forum is english,

are there any rules about the languagues used in this forum? May i, for example, open a german thread, if i want to?

Would it be an option to create a subforum for other languages, if questioned?

For what it's worth the reason I'm not that fond of analyzing in terms of Solar Power, is that if there is unused coal it tends to be a lot cheaper to make miners + coal power, and if there is unused uranium then nuclear power is also a lot cheaper than solar assuming you are building on a large sc...

I have no clue, if my setup is a good one, but it is freely scalable:
Same Setup, a little time later:
Greetings, Ronny

Hello there, i don't know, if it's really a bug. If i'm trying to start the game, i got a D3D-Error (You can see it in the attached file). If i'm changing the game-config to use OpenGL, the game starts normally. Factorio worked in 0.15.10 with default-config fine. edit: 0.013 Available display adapt...

Oil was broken in 0.14 and is just fine now. If you really think the game generates to much, just lower the size of oil fields before you start a new game. In my last game in 0.14 i had several oil fields equipped with pumpjacks, but none of them supported my base with crude oil for at least more th...
