Failed again trying to update to 0.17.31 from 0.17.28.
The game is restarting while updating I think so I'm uploading both current and previous for this failure.

Works really well once I used green wire for input and added substations to the blueprint. It's also more readable and compact than another 7-seg display (non-tileable) that I tried.

9.8/10. Would be perfect if leading 0's were shown as all lamps off q:

It's deprecated so it's not getting any updates. But it's for 0.17 so and probably works anyways.

I fear the mod portal will be flooded with individual mod packs so each user can quick install his own favorites. At least i would do it. So? If the mod packs are uploaded under the new tag "mod pack" and not shown unless you filter your search to mod packs then it wouldn't interfere with...

For some reason 0.17.29 is the latest release on the forums and the in game updater wants to update me to 0.17.30. But ousu(190412-200127-41).jpg it failed. This is a pretty common bug that often happens when I go from [0.X.Y] to [0.X.Y+2] and the updater ALWAYS fail when I go from [0.X.Y] to [0.X+1...

Anything below "import blueprint string" was disabled. I changed my mod setting for "AlmostInvisibleElectricWires" for "Copper Wire Color" to "Default" compared to the 30% the file was saved with. But changing it back to 30% and reloading the save doesn't help...

Binary search on my mods revealed that "AlmostInvisibleElectricWires" with "Copper Wire Color" set to non-default (tested 30% and invisble) is causing the bug.

Wow that's a long mod list. It's basically all helper mods. My late game base is completely vanilla still. Everything runs exactly the same without the mods. I'm trying to build really big so to be able to compare my SPM with others having any non-vanilla entities to run the base would be cheating ...

I made a thread What settings do you use and how do you play with the mod? on the board for the mod LL. I'm curious to hear from anyone that has tried it or plans to try it, how and why you would use the mod.

Ok.

Made a blueprint for you <3 0eNrNXdtuY7ly/ZUDPyVI62DzTs7rAfKSPAXJ08GgIduabiG25chSzwwG/QH5kPxYviSS3ba3rCpxrWKCnJfpcff22txcLFYVa5H84+r6br963K4fdlc//XG1vtk8PF399Nc/rp7WXx6Wd8e/2/3+uLr66Wq9W91ffbp6WN4ff9ou13dX3z9drR9uV79d/eS+//zpavWwW+/Wq5fff/7h988P+/vr1fbwwNtvXq+/LFZ3q5vddn2zeNzcrQ6gj5unw29uHo6vO6AtnKu...

I was Qonsidering making a mod that lets artillery auto target trees as well if loaded with poison capsules. That way you also don't destroy your own base if any trees are trying to get their grubby roots on your precious metallic factory. But I haven't really prioritised it.

It's just a 224x224 (7x7x chunks) (it tiles at that width if you let edge rails combine) square of rails with any entities inside. It doesn't really matter what it is, should work with anything that that is at least that size because it happens every time I change that thing and make a new blueprint...

[0.17.28] Blueprint preview is scaled by amount of unique entities If I have many entities in the same blueprint the preview becomes so small that it's hard to see it's even there at all. ousu(190410-231206-66).jpg Same blueprint as above after filtering away everything except rail: ousu(190410-2312...

https://mods.factorio.com/mods/canidae/auto-research is another alternative. It automates research starting as its default behaviour. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/FactorIO adds several thcombinators that enables reading of more signals. One of those is a research progress combinator. Haven't seen a...

Maybe make it a tank that spawns an invisible artillery under it (with no collision box) when it stands still and despawns it when it starts moving.

I read the title and thought "Why doesn't he use AutoTrash or https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Logistic-Request-Manager ?"
Now I know why you didn't find AutoTrash. And LRM is 8 days old...
