I'd say it's only showing the logistic bots, not the construction bots.

My questions to you, dear reader, are: [/b]

-Do you think that any of these decisions/problems are interesting?

Definitely!


-Or do you think that the game is already complicated enough without these nonsense?

Absolutely!


Seriously, Factorio is an awfully complex game. After a few ...

Ah yes, it works better when taking the hardness of 0.9 into account!

In this case, we get
- miner output = .5 / .9 ore/s = .55 ore/s
- smelter output = 2 / 3.5 plate/s = .57 plate/s

With my 7 miners and 7 steel furnaces, I get consumption = 7 * .55 = 3.9 ore/s = 233 ore/min, which is in between ...

I'm trying to understand the production numbers, but it doesn't add up.

I'm starting from the beginning, so the iron production.
The thread Calculating production is asking a similar question, but there's no clear answer.

In my scenario, I have 7 electric miners and a cumulated smelting speed of ...

You should try to burn them, it feels quite satisfying

It's a big electric pole, with a large coverage.

Hopefully it hasn't been suggested already.

It's a very simple suggestion, it would be convenient if inserters consume chests from the end rather than the beginning.
The use case is that I try to balance the goods between several aligned chests, typically to load a wagon or to feed the ore belt ...

I thoroughly support this idea. I usually prefer to play any game in a peaceful manner.

It doesn't feel immediate to adjust the gameplay in this regard without making a whole different game, the story as it is works pretty well: you come onto an alien planet, plunder it, pollute it, kill all life ...

They are not scenarios in the usual sense of the term, they are more like puzzles.
It's challenging and interesting, but if you're looking for a scripted story, it will not fit the bill.

I bought them because I like to play a story in this kind of games more than sandbox mode, and was quite ...

fuel A ............ fuel B


why not do it this way....in every "end" station fuel the to the end facing locomotive? :)

Yes, I thought about this option (and I just added it to my list,) the problem though is that you have to make fuel available in every ...

I'd like to get my different trains to a common station. The issue is that if different trains have different lengths, I don't see a way to fuel both locomotives without the risk to load the fuel in a wagon. The trains have one locomotive in each direction.

I see a few possibilities, but none that ...
