@jokerwing: I personally don't see the benefit of seeing if I joined a particular map on a server. What is your thought behind that?

+5 I often thought the same. Even to write a feature request. Always was too lazy. A lot of multiplayer games have that feature for exact that reason. Very handy. Suggestion for implementation: - Make an additional column in the server browser, named "last joined" - In the cell the date&am...

One way to print something to the players chat would be with a "scenario script". The script would subscribe to the "on_player_joined" event ( https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_player_joined_game ), get de player index and then print a message to that specific pl...

Looking at the vanilla game files, it seems the two bonuses groups "stack-inserter-capacity-bonus" and "inserter-stack-size-bonus" are hardcoded.

The BP storage is in "%AppData%\Roaming\Factorio\blueprint-storage.dat" . On windows that should still be there after you uninstalled the game. On linux I don't know. Maybe it is gone if you purged the game.

I dont know exactly anymore. According to steam it was 2016. I remember going to the steam store page after I got knowledge about it. There I saw that it was reviewed "overwhelmingly positive", I liked its trailer, I noticed that it is one of those rare games where users start to mark thei...

"biggest priority consumer" ... I forgot about that. This is the problem of having m suppliers and n consumers. The simplest solution is to use a turnover "station" (TOS) (it is not one single station, it is a turnover area with several unloading and loading stations and a balanc...

I would need to ask what exactly you want to achieve. What exactly do you mean by "balancing"? If you want to know others opinions how to balance your setup, you need to describe your setup exactly first. When you write, that you disable pickup stations, then I assume they are all named th...

Serenity said it all. BUS + Kirk's factorio caculator and you are fine. no headaches. Just two subtle additions: 1. Especially as a new player build your production lines on only one side of the bus, so you can extend the bus on the other side as needed. 2. Always add enough space between the produc...

Mod miniloader does some nice magic the factorio modding way with existing prototypes but creates something new and very popular. Have a look at it https://mods.factorio.com/mod/miniloader But probably your head will spin because of all the "glue" scripting that is necessary to achieve this.

... The abstract question is - how can I "add" some of those features to another entity? ... ... Can I add an energy consumption for container or replace roboport's inventory with "container-like" inventory? No, you can not do stuff like that in factorio modding. Factorio moddin...

Yeah, I skimmed just over the op, before I asked about specifics. My bad. Reading your op and your first answer I believe you already have all the parts figured out. Then the only remaining problem is how to piece them all together, I guess? I made a proof of concept to see if and how fast I can do ...

Ah, and the train condition has to be "inactivity" for the unloading station. That way if it is out of one type of item, it will leave although it has items of other types still on board.

If I understand your specifications correctly, then you want to unload an item of type (i) if the amount of that item (Xi) is below a minimum threshold (Xi < Ximin) and stop unloading if it is above a maximum threshold (Xi > Ximax). Is that correct? Yes, that is correct, with a small clearification...

How about enabling a waypoint stations shortly after a switch instead, ... The "Node" stations immediately behind those signals are enabled when the signal in front of them is green. ... Once the head of the train has passed the signal, it will turn red, so the waypoint station will be di...

... Maybe try closing the other stations as soon as a train arrives. (I've never used such a setup, but from memory of other forum threads closing a station as soon as a train arrives shouldn't result in the just arrived train having to leave). ... Deactivating a station immediately makes a train l...

If I understand your specifications correctly, then you want to unload an item of type (i) if the amount of that item (Xi) is below a minimum threshold (Xi < Ximin) and stop unloading if it is above a maximum threshold (Xi > Ximax).

Now that you know it, can you change the title to something that describes what the specific problem (and what the solution was)? This would make this thread more valuable than with a generic "[Solved] I'm blind and can't see my lua bug" as it is now. Which can be anything. I am thinking t...
