Fixed.

Today's 0.15.18 update reversed the new behaviour, so I'll fix it in a few hours when I get home from work.

I don't need flicker, just some kind of light when functioning. Entities like furnaces support having a working light independent of the energy source, but boilers don't.

I'm going to make some significant changes to how this mod works, hopefully should be coming by the weekend. These will make it much more useful and flexible, but there are a few problems to overcome first.

That's a known problem, to do with the way Factorio's tile placement checks create more land (the minimum wight/height of a piece of land is 2 tiles). There's no easy fix (computationally or programmatically) that I'm aware of. It's the same reason you can't completely cut off a piece of land using ...

I've added a screenshot and explanation of a working demonstration track. That train will happily move back and forth, alternating between picking up and dropping off the wagon.

Hello, The latest version seems to be causing an issue with item textures, I'm playing the latest Bobs+Angels with Flare Stack (2.1.3) It causes the barrelled items to have the "no" symbol (Red circle with diagonal line) on top of their texture when on belts and in storage/inventory, happ...

Actually I found the issue, the issue is your mod does not make a check to see if the pumpjack exists, it just assumes it does and goes ahead stuffing it up. Actually , the issue is that Omnimatter deletes items in data-final-fixes, after Flare Stack has created the recipes to incinerate them. Ther...

What other mods are you running?

Fixed, now has incineration recipes for ammo, guns, equipment, etc. Also now shows the item/fluid being destroyed, not just the empty red circle.

Boilers have always been 50% efficient.

I consider it a convenience tax - going electric hugely simplifies your logistics, so it seems fair that you pay an energy premium.

Here are the German (de) Translations for your mod. Added. Please add at least a recipe for wood, as I need a way to dispose of tons of wood in my factories. Another alternative would be adding a new flare stack just for fuel. The recipe generation algorithm now compares chemical fuel values with c...

I have a working mod for 0.15 that allows for coupling and uncoupling, controlled by circuit signals provided to the station: Automatic Coupler

Mod Portal Now you can connect/disconnect trains through the magic of circuits! This mod adds two new virtual signals, couple and uncouple . When a train stops at a station receiving either (or both!) of these signals, it will attempt to couple and/or uncouple the train accordingly. If a station is...

Another option is to use an arithmetic combinator to sum fuel count and fuel remaining, and only insert a cell if the result is 0.

In addition, sometimes it's better to use a basic inserter than a fast one.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that only 2 seconds at most? However, the OP talks about the potential for using wires to shut down or pause fission, and I'm against that as a mod option, because it is an intrinsic element of the design, it seems, that once you put fuel into a Reactor, it'll keep...

Fixed. The solution is to remove the position entry in the smoke definition and replace it with north_position , south_position , east_position and west_position . While I was at it, I also changed the incinerator recipe generation, so it's no longer possible to incinerate chemical fuel (eg wood, co...

Oh, I'm an idiot. It's because I'm only specifying the one smoke emission point, and that rotates with the entity. I'm fixing it now.

I was testing some things today and noticed that the smoke from the fueled incinerator was way out to the left of the entity. Changing the position value on the smoke from {0.0, -4} to {4.0, 0} fixed it, which was odd -- I would have expected position to use {x, y} offsets. Can anyone else confirm ...

Whoops, I forgot to specify that the boiler in question has an electric power source.
