Yeah, I have to agree the new way of marking pipes with the type of fluid when they are connected to a source or destination isn't a great solution to the problem they were attempting to fix. The part which annoys me is previously an empty pipe looked empty, now you can be "fooled" into th...

Derp. Thanks.

I have 60 labs, with 250% speed increase from efficiency research. Which by my calculations means during a 1 science pack per 60 second research I should use up 150 science packs per minute. Yet I had to up my science pack production to 200 per minute to keep up. What am I overlooking?

A right click on the arrow next to an already entered station name in a train's schedule should allow you to select a different station keeping the existing wait conditions and current order in the schedule.

I always thought Vanilla needed separate buildable charging pads similar to what is available in Bob's (at least I think it is Bob's..). But yeah, any heavy bot usage is going to need strategic groups of roboports to provide charging stations.

While I haven't played with the settings extensively I have to say I'd agree the default settings for a Rail World are far too generous. I started a world like that and have two copper and two iron patches in excess of 10m ore within relatively easy belting distance. I haven't worried too much about...

Really? Weird. I have a 0.16 base which is nearly the size of the full zoom out in map mode. It is entirely surrounded by walls with lasers and that has never happened. I'm not saying it can't happen, but since it hasn't to me in that 1600+ hour game I'd have to say the odds of it happening are pret...

It's always been that way. Get artillery defenses up when you can. They keep the biters from settling in close.

Well, always in 0.17. Not in previous versions.

Landfill?

Yeay! the screen tearing is gone. The game is looking sharp.

Wow, I figured that was an issue with my outdated video card. Looks like it might be fixed for me too, fantastic!

Nice idea to use the Artillery train as the cargo wagon for the shells, I had not considered that.

I think most of it is well done. The one part I don't care for is the re-do of the train interface. With the wait conditions and the stations being combined into a single window it makes the list of stops harder to read and takes up way more space. I'd like to see a return to wait conditions being s...

Yes, use this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ModuleInserter

That mod not integrate into the upgrade planner, making the answer - no.
The mod also does not actually work, making the answer - no.

Works fine for me. *shrug*

Derp. That was it, thanks.

I am confused. About which thing I am not sure. I thought if you used a zip copy of the game you could use the automatic update -- BUT, in the early versions of 0.17 this feature was broken. And I was under the impression the feature got fixed in 0.17.8. But I am currently using 0.17.9 and checking ...

Just another idea comes into my mind: Why not feed new materials to the main bus from the side if it dries out? Perhaps with trains. That way I can use the existing belts fully the whole way down and don't need to have belts available that are empty half the way. What do you think? Have some of you...

....If it outranges everything short of artillery, I don't think anything short of manual intervention or artillery will work. So keep yer pollution down, and/or start getting artillery. That and go on frequent biter burns. Since artillery is a solution, I find it difficult to be totally against th...

Wow. Haven't played a 0.17 game with biter expansion yet. That does sound rather annoying. Not sure if I like the idea or not... on the one hand I've always considered biters a little silly since after the mid-game handling them is pretty easy. On the other hand, I'm not sure I want to have to deal ...

Derp. Thanks.
