Three questions come to my mind. 1. What initial percentage of faulty items do you have in mind? If the percentage is low (let's say 10%), there might be a small incentive to rework faulty items. Although over several production steps the return on final products diminishes multiplicatively ( 0.9 x ...

I try to think how this would affect gameplay and base layout. After each production line there would be the QI facility (because, there the most items of this type have to be tested) After the QIF there would be the rework-facility for that item type. The only reason to rework faulty items and not ...

I don't know. But if you use the PA MK4 mod only for yourself, then do this: Unpack the zip of the mod of the PA MK4 (you will receive a folder with the same name) and delete the zip from which you unpacked it. I don't know that mod, but most likely it has a file named "data.lua". Open it ...

Finally, as a factorio server hoster, I need to know if there will be a input action linked to fluid clearing. I need to have a viable method of countering a player who joins with the solo intention of harming the factory, such as clearing all the oil from storage tanks or stream from backup power ...

My feedback on pipe flushing: to me it (note: fluid-mixing-prevention) was too much "idiot proof" (sorry, it happened to myself alot) and felt like it took something away from the player: problem solving I personally can not agree more with GrumpyJoe. And being a bit grumpy about it myself...

My feedback on the beacon graphics: 1. Most of the beacon being near ground level immediately and intuitively makes me think I can run over it. So imo the collision box (or what is it called in data?) should be restricted to the pole in the middle. I quite like the idea, because mostly there is very...

Here is the link to the change anouncement: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=495226#p495226 It also describes how situations where events can not be raised anymore, should be dealt with. ... Replacements for raise event calls that no longer work ... on_built_entity - use LuaPlayer.build_f...

I think I recall, that in some recent release ( maybe .18.28 ) the ability to trigger events by scripts was removed. When the mod depends on this removed mechanic, then it has to be reprogrammed to further provide its functionality.

Looks good!

Report the wrong rates to the person who made the factorio planner.

2 AM3s produce 0.125 FRF/s = 0.5 FRF/4s = 5 FRF/40s 1 chemplant produces 0.25 bat/s = 10 bat/40s ... and therefore should suffice.

I like it, because it is so space-y!

I renamed a BP in a book in the library and noticed, that it keeps its position, although by alphabetical sort order it should be somewhere else.

Closing and reopneing the book doesn't fix it. Moving the BP to the main BPL directory and back into the book fixes it.

I loaded the savegame and I can confirm that 3 laser turrets shooting make the consumption in this network hit the roof of 9.6 MW although they should only draw 6.9 MW. Apart from that, placing 20 beacons into that network (laser turrets not firing), which consume exactly 9.6 MW, makes the satisfact...

This is a known issue with the GUI in low power conditions that the developers currently don't care about fixing.

Do you have a link?

4 Lasers: 2.28 MW x 4 = 9.12 MW
1 Radar: 300 kW
22 Inserters idle: 400 W x 22 = 8.8 kW
22 Inserters working: 13 kW x 22 = 286 kW

max consumption without accus charging: 9.12 MW + 0.3 MW + 0.286 MW = 9.706 MW

Which is more than the 9.6 MW the accus can provide.

Needs more pictures and a complete list of entities in this power network for analysis. I guess the satisfaction graph shows what would be needed to power all entities plus the 9.6 MW to charge the accus. If my guess is correct, it would explain the 21.7 MW number. But if the accus can provide enoug...

I guess: Because the server cannot guarantee that this map is in correct state? Correct checksum is unknowable in that moment. It could be any map, the server cannot see if the map was really part of the game. What should be done, if the game checks after 5 minutes (whole consistency checks take a ...

Also: If you are experimenting with a server, figure out a way to see what the log file says in real time . On linux all the log entries are usually written to the terminal window, where you started the server from, if I recall correctly. If the log messages do not appear there you can use tail curr...

Did you get your login token and did you use it in the server settings?
