In this attempt I just removed the first signal from the arriving track in the top left. The issue is even more apparent:



The train has a clear path to the station it's trying to go to, but my signals are undesirably preventing it from entering that block.

I'm having an issue with a train station I'm working on. I did read the big train/deadlock thread but it doesn't cover my case. So in the image below, there are 5 unloading stations. Each station has the same name, so the trains will pick a free one when arriving. The entrance and exit are at the to...

Please add an option in the Graphics options window to disable robot network overlays when you mouse over a logistics chest or roboport (the logistics robot target rectangles, the logistics and construction roboport ranges, the highlighted chests, etc.) It crushes the frame rate when there's a lot o...

It took me a while to figure this out so I thought I'd share it. This takes both lanes of a belt and shifts them to one side, alternating between the two lanes. I use it in mines to keep mines on opposite sides of belts working evenly while loading trains; it works well when the belts are saturated:...

Well, the difference is so subtle that you may also have made a Factorio-was-just-updated detector.

Here is a low power detector that uses combinators instead of inserters: http://i.imgur.com/XJYbVxT.png The top combinator should be powered by the accumulators of the system being monitored. The bottom combinator is always powered. The top one is set to YELLOW * -1 and outputs YELLOW. The bottom on...

Here are a few other interesting data points, these are mainly things I wanted to confirm still occur: ... The first is: Fast Inserters which are orientated North are slower Using the same experimental setup as above: Vertical belt, east/west of inserter: See original numbers. Horizontal belt, sout...

The devs are adding this feature for 0.13 (if I'm not misunderstanding what's requested) : http://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-133 search Ease of use 2 . From there: The production statistics now contain the overall sum. It is now also possible to select individual items in the production/electri...

Let me make a counter-suggestion: add an option to "show accumulator statistics in electrical production graph" on the graphic options screen I would settle for that as well. It would accomplish the same thing for me. My reasons for suggesting a general toggle: Accomplishes my personal go...

When zoomed in too far, electric and circuit wires between large power poles do not draw: http://i.snag.gy/KR1XH.jpg The image on the left is zoomed out, the right side is zoomed in on that same location. The wires do not appear on the right. To recreate, create two large electric poles connected wi...

In 0.12.29, accumulator charging renders the electricity consumption graph essentially useless, because the charge rate is so much higher than everything else that it makes the scale too high: http://snag.gy/Gw4M1.jpg And in this example, a small child scribbled red lines all over my graph: http://s...

This should help

Thanks. I double checked those, and tested coal too, and updated the first post here as well as added https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?tit ... throughput.

I want to add inserter throughputs (for various belt orientations if its dependent) to the wiki. There doesn't seem to be a post dedicated to this 100% so let this one be the reference. The numbers (for transferring from a chest to the side of a straight belt), as of 0.12.29, are (±0.004, I think): ...

As usual the act of posting this helped me fix the issue. I turned on some extra debug info, it looks like the panel was also feeding the lone small pole: http://snag.gy/kP2oQ.jpg Moving it over made it work again. I think it took me a while to notice because I had been surviving on the accumulator ...

I have a solar panel that, at some point in the last 12 hours, stopped working permanently (I'm not sure when, this is in a remote location that I never visit and this pumping station is rarely activated): http://i.snag.gy/DUnIR.jpg The panel is connected to 2 pumps, a lamp, and an accumulator via a...

I discovered I can hack it by emitting the negatives of the threshold values from a constant combinator then running both inputs to a decider and comparing each < 0, because the deciders sum the inputs of the red and green networks. Is that the typical strategy?

Is it possible to use a decider to compare signals on the red network with corresponding signals on the green one? What I really want to do is hook a bunch of resource counts (tanks, smart chests) up to one network, emit threshold values from a constant combinator on the other network, then compare ...

0.12.29 It is possible to build an object that is behind a tree, but is not possible to select, get mouse-over info, or tear down an object that is behind a tree without tearing down the tree itself. For example, here are two electric poles behind trees (I put dots in their selection boxes): http://...

The steam engine can use any type of liquid to generate electricity. This can be used to get rid of unused oil-products. Just fill unusable oil products into a steam engine and it will destroy the liquids (cold liquids will be destroyed at a rate of 6.0 fluid / second). That is from the wiki link i...

0.12.29 Sometimes this happens. Circled ones are the issue: http://i.snag.gy/mYbpk.jpg I think it has something to do with items that are in the top 8 in longer histories but not recently (e.g. items that have non-white graph colors in 10m but not in 5s), because the items in question are an assembl...
