Re: New types of rails (curves, s-curves ...)

And bridges. And ship-loading. And containerization. And ... And Bridges for trains are not necessary since we have landfill (IMHO) Bridges have a ton more uses than spanning bodies of water, though. Just being able to make more intelligent intersections and stations for trains would make bridges a...

Re: [MOD 0.12.x] Factorio Maps

Trying to get this mod to work, but it doesn't seem to like my factory. I've had no problem creating small maps, but my factory is huge. It seems to generate the map fine, it will make the 20-30gb of jpg photos, but opening the index.html locally just resaults in a very small section of the top left...

Electric Belt idea

Keep the current yellow unpowered belt for starting a factory, then add a variable speed electric belt and a 1 tile electric motor. Electric motors placed on the righthand side of the conveyor seperate it into blocks like signals do for rails and you just click on a conveyor block and set the speed....

Re: 4-way intersection testing: Throughput and deadlocks

Posted this on your reditt topic but will post here as well. http://i.imgur.com/u0UgbJr.jpg. I don't use 4 ways anywhere in my factory so don't actually use this. This came from modifying the standard T intersection I use everywhere in my factory which I carried over to my 0.15 factory from my 0.14 ...

Re: [REQUEST][IDEA] Train tunnels and bridges

The game has underground belts.

Is it possible for a modder to just clone that and make it for trains?

Except, the train won't move due to having 'no path' and any approaching trains will stop due to red signals.

Re: What does your mega-base actually produce?

My desire to grow my base comes from my *lack* of desire to restart from scratch and basically have all that work and time go to waste. So I just keep building and improving non-stop. Same in Minecraft, I have one world that I have been building in for several years. My very first factory went 568 h...

Re: Interesting Deadlock

Could make the roundabout bigger and use standard signals not chain signals. - If the distance between each signal is large enough to hold a train and they separate the roundabout into 4 sections at a minimum, then trains wont bottleneck plus more then 1 train can go through it at a time. More of an...

Re: Concrete and bots

The game already knows what's missing as it tallies the missing items to send a report in the form of the exclamation point in the triangle. Can the bots just skip those items until available?

Re: Snow areas in factorio

Instead of destroying ice to build a pump, an interesting addition could be a building that harvests ice, sends it down a conveyor or whatever to an Ice Melter building to melt it into water to fill pipes. Catches being that the ice will slowly vanish off the conveyor (melt) if removed from the cold...

Re: Item transfers

If this applied to trains as well, filling the cargo cars you're pulling, it would be awesome.

I honestly skip cars completely and go right to trains, laying track where I need to go and using them to bring my building supplies.

Re: Re-Enable Achievements...

Just throwing it out there, but there *is* a way to mod the game without disabling steam achievements.

Just do it the old fashioned way:
Edit the games files in the install directory.

You'll have to redo it any time the game is updated as well.

Re: Demand rebalancer/inverse rebalancer

No, That won't work, because if demand comes only from e.g. the right lane, a full belt will cause this: http://i60.tinypic.com/10zr78m.png and nothing will be gained. Stick it halfway down the line of buildings demanding the items. For example, 5 assemblers pulling off the right side, then that ba...

Re: Will this game be self-sufficient or will it be a playground for modders?

My vote is for a mod playground. This may not be the answer you're looking for and I may have misunderstood exactly what you are asking, so bare with me a bit.

Re: Train bandwidth Questions

That could work, or even with more trains then that. But any slight delay would screw it up. Could end up with multiple trains arriving at a station at the same time resulting in delays of other trains unless you build a large enough waiting area. Plus the numerous trains arriving at once could resu...
