Isn't there also an issue of no coal, and no inserters putting the (missing) coal into the boilers?

No, why would you need to?

Input inserters or output inserters can be positioned in any of the 12 spaces that are immediately adjacent or (for long inserters), the 12 spaces just beyond them.

How about a dumb, non-electricity burning, 1x2 chest or 1x3 chest that holds more stuff? That + smart Inserters would be a much simpler solution than almost everything presented here for "Loaders" with all the restrictions people want to put on them. Edit: Followup Overall, it seems that t...

The belts between the splitters are superfluous unless they are there for a reason. You can tighten it up by having the first splitter feed into the 2nd and 3rd directly. If you really need a then combined "1/2" line, you can hook the 4th splitter directly to the inputs of the 2nd and 3rd....

< < < < < ===== < Input from right (made the picture easier to draw). 3 Splitters gives you 4 lines of equal density. That may or may not be what you actually want, but Factorio is all about experimenting. I suspect you actually want to play around with some of the input ratios to help control your...

Can you define "Priority" as you are using it?

Can you define which items you want to eventually output, and in what relative quantities?

Can you identify which items you only want to be created as intermediate items (and thus do not want to output, but are needed for desired outputs)?

Perhaps don't ask in terms of "Priority" and instead focus on how much of each thing you need? Splitting the stream 4 ways at the top and then routing from there will balance the Iron *input*, but you may instead be asking to balance the product *output*. If so, then Pipes (1 iron plate / ...

Being new (post Steam), hearing the old music sounds like it'd be fun.

Replying because it's the only way I could find to "subscribe" to this topic.

(And then I saw an "unsubscribe" link all the way at the bottom...)

Game updated to 12.26

Reset to default graphic settings.

Restarted New Hope level 2 (5th time)

Successfully completed New Hope level 2 (5 hrs later), which included one unplanned death/reload.

I'd consider this one closed.

Thanks guys (for the game, not for the lost sleep!)

It looks like Steam updated to 0.1.26, so I'll retry again later, I'm getting very good at New Hope 2.

Do I need to keep the low quality graphics settings and force-opengl=true settings?

alpha Version 0.12.25 (Build 17747, win64) Recently purchased Factorio via Steam and am generally having a blast, until 150 minutes into the game. While playing through new Hope, level 2, at about the 2hr30min I get a popup informing me the "Steam Overlay crashed". The popup asks me to set...
