- Is the prio only used for target picking or also used in source picking? So let's say we have 5 different stations supplying X at 50/40/30/20/10 prios, will a train go to the suppliers in order of priority, assuming all stations are open etc., and will the trains then leave the station in order o...

I'm not yet convinced I can "totally make a train go to station "[A]" by sending the [A] signal to its train stop." with the information provided. That sounds like you extrapolated based on wishful thinking. From the FFF: We also have similar signals for 'Any Fluid', 'Any Fuel' ...

The splitters are configured with a GUI, and when flipped the GUI configuration for left/right input/output priority and filters swap the left/right configuration. If rail signals (and chain, stops) were changed to GUI configurations on rail pieces and then the entities were changed to just graphica...

And even with a way to route trains to stops dynamically, we might still need to design a whole central scheduling computer with combinator hashtables and whatnot, so it's not exactly making the game too easy either. I'm making the solution for that with my Combinassembly language. Of course, my su...

Could there be a case where you need different priority for incomming and outgoing trains? If so, I guess it can be done via circuitery, but a separate slider would be much easier. For a train to arrive you need a train to leave first if it's taken. If priority is lower to leave then trains will be...

So in 2.0, disabled trains stops will act as if they have 'Train limit = 0': I'm not yet convinced that the new cool interrupt features allow us to completely control trains with circuits. The interrupts and the generic signals are very cool, but with generic signals only being able to take the sig...

Easier train dispatching Another annoyance which becomes more clear with larger train systems, is the pain of creating and dispatching new trains. With the ability to blueprint trains, it is almost painless, but you still need to manually set them to automatic mode. No Longer! Now when a train blue...

2. What if there's other text in the stop name, such as the name of the item, written in the player's language? Can the placeholder match that? I don't want to lose readability by having the only unique part of the stop name being the icon, especially in modded playthroughs with lots of similar (or...

Know what you are doing though. It's a tradeoff, too high and latency does possibly decrease, but you pay with lower UPS as well. But you can set it back to default after you are done if you want to test it. This is why it's so slow for you: https://forums.factorio.com/download/file.php?id=80441 The...

Make a deconstruction planner filtered to only remove ghosts and zoom out on map and just remove them all then. I tried it, unfortunately the filter for ghosts in the deconstruction planner does not work to remove upgrade requests for buildings, it only removes blueprints for buildings that would b...

robots everywhere stop working until those orders are done Wrong. But having a large amount of build order within construction reach without materials will make the queue longer so it takes more time to go through the list. But that just means construction bots will react a bit slower to build requ...

And I am aware that it is a recurring request, however I wanted to suggest a solution that's more than just "enable all achievements". Just enable steam achievements and have modded achievement list merged with regular list and allow commands, cheats and editor for achievements is probabl...

In my mod, i want other mods to be able to call a function i define in the data stage to create alot of related prototypes. However, i don't think mods can communicate with each other in the data stage, only in the control stage. I would like this ability to be added to the data stage to allow othe...

I don't recall this being asked anywhere.. but when we set a new recipe on the assembler, what happens to the built up productivity bonus? Does the productivity progression carry over to the new recipe, or does it reset? If it carries over, that could be gamed for profit. For example, set up a circ...

This board is called "Show your Creations".
But in this case a fitting name would be "Show your Creation's Creations"
I'm happy for you.

Trees are not attacked by biters. For game mechanics, they work like indestructible, non-attackable entities.

Wrong.

The rationale by which the spidertron collides with no entity, not even huge heavy vehicles like trains, yet collides with small car is baffling. Wrong. The spidertron doesn't collide with the car, the car collides with the spidertron. This is an important distinction, because it explains why the t...

Factorio combinators are turing complete. (So are factorio trains, factorio belts, and probably a few other things as well) I have actually planned to make computers out of trains, belts and a few other things... The electric network lets electricity flow to consumers from any producer. This is an ...

I want to have 1 station that can accept oil or ammunition or maybe logistics bots (what is being accepted doesn't really matter). How can I request that an oil train will go to my remote base when the oil gets low but an ammunition train doesn't? The short answer is that you can't, at least not wi...

The short answer is that you can't, at least not without mods. True in the sense that it is highly unlikely that OP is able to. But it is technically possible with extraordinary effort. Thanks. Pretty much as I thought then. I am sure there is a way - but too complicated and painful to implement!!!...
