In version 0.10 they went the opposite way, everything is powers of 10.

When you look at inserter power cost, it seems that the basic inserter (13 kW) is cheaper than the long-handed inserter (18 kW) and fast inserter (32 kW). But the basic inserter is also the slowest, so maybe it is not so simple. I decided to run a test. http://davemcw.com/factorio/images/inserter-te...

Of course not. But I want an extremely obvious alert, not tiny inserter or lamp changes.

improved subject title 2021-04-15 — ssilk Currently if a machine has no power, it gets a blinking red triangle. I propose to show this triangle every time a machine has less than 100% electric demand satisfaction. But instead of blinking constantly, it turns off for a percentage of the time equal t...

Not a bug.

You always have more robots than the number on the research.

At 0 research you still get 1 robot.

At 20 research you get 134 robots!

There's a similar bug in production info, as if it is adding a few extra seconds of stats.

Sounds like you need more electricity.

-1 do not want.

I think one petroleum pipe can feed about 30 plastic plants in theory, though I have never needed to test it. Are you sure the bottleneck isn't coal or electricity or plastic bar inserters? Is there another chemical plant stealing all the petroleum? How big of a backup are you talking about? Tanks t...

1.33 red assembler1's per 4 science labs while researching a 30-second tech.
1.6 green assembler1's per 4 science labs while researching a 30-second tech.
Blue science cannot be produced in an assembler1.

If your tech does not take 30 seconds the answer is different.

7.14 solar panels times 0.84 equals 6 accumulators.

Forget P, just use 42 kW, the average daily production of one solar panel.

42 kW * 100s / 5 MJ = 0.84 accumulators per solar panel.

This is a compact factory for producing tier 4 science and tier 3 modules. It will get you to the Rocket Defense in about 9 hours if you only build one copy. But the idea is to copy and paste it to produce much faster. :) Click to enlarge http://davemcw.com/factorio/images/rocket-defense-preview.jpg...

Your science pack machine is producing faster than the lab can research. It will sit idle until the lab catches up.

Replace the research lab with a transport belt. Then build 2 labs to pull science off the belt.

Congrats on beating the demo.

I wish you luck using that strategy in the full version...

Smelters do provide light. With a LOT of work you could transform a belt of raw materials into a moving pattern on a grid of smelters. Add speed modules for higher FPS. You could also look into using boiler+steam engine+lamp to transform fuel into a light pixel, but even using wood the FPS would be ...

When you are shopping and see a shelf of cables, you move them all to the electronics section.

To attach exactly one cable, craft one, select it, and click both poles. But you can mine a pole and replace it to reattach all cables for free.

There are tougher enemies, but they will come whether you pollute or not. Polluting will attract more at once.

Nah, most of us can't read them but we're too polite to complain in the thread.
