I was wrong. I thought that capsules are made from easy early game stuff but forgot that their research need blue science.

Only one question, why? Thats kinda dumb!? Anyway, easy fix for it? The priority is just a choice which must be done. I think that current priority has been chosen because safety and easiness for players without understanding of combinator logics. Full accumulators give the best possible energy res...

What about a situation where the accumulator charge drops to 9.9%, so the steam engines are connected, which immediately charges the accumulator back up to 10%, disconnecting the steam engines, which lets the accumulator chrage drop down to 9.9% again, and so on? I think that rapid switching makes ...

Put couple of turrets just outside of worm's range to take care of spawning biters and throw poison capsules on worms.

Factorio combat is just so straightforward there is no fun in it regardless of one's preferences. You go somewhere with a gun, you hold down space, you win ... That's not fun. I agree this. Actual fighting is boring. It is easy but time consuming and laborious. But in my opinion the fighting should...

You might need to force activate it then. /c game.player.force.recipes["water-thermal-lithia"].enabled = true Thank you very much. This command solved the problem. I have also another problem. Last time when I played with Bob's mods (0.12) sodium hydroxide and nickel ores were the main re...

I continue this discussion here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=34482 I have problems with lithia water. Steinio showed a solution in this thread. However, I do not have recipes for lithia water. How can I choose it. Technology screen of Water treatment shows recipes but they a...

I play with Bob's mods and Angel's ores. I need lithium ion batteries to make dark blue science. I could not find any ground or lithia water spots. I have forgot to download Bob's ore mod. I installed it but I can not get water wells or water pumpjack technologies. I have tried to reset everything a...

It is impossible to make carbon if I use Bob's and Angel's mods. I checked that there was some discussions about that bug in reddit, but there were no good solutions. Is there any practical solution to that? No problem anymore, I found the solution. There is research and production chain in Angel's ...

Have pipe for 20 boilers. Water temp. up to 100 and go to steam generators with 1.1~3.2 pressure. This is not long: http://joxi.ru/zANaqnvIoBlO29.png Why pressure so low? I need ways to raise pressure. You put flow from 2 pumps into one pipe. I have noticed, that it is normally a bad thing, especia...

How to increase the pressure in the pipes? Electric pumps are useless. Tests with them, pipes and tanks yielded nothing. If you mean the amount of liquid, 10 is maximum value in stock pipes. It can be modded to larger and there are larger tubes in some mods, but as far as I know, it makes fluid flo...

You have to define right before asking this kind of questions. Your base is certainly not the most productive, efficient or clearly structured but computer gaming is entertainment, in which aesthetic values and other personal opinions are far more important than mathematical productivity. If you hav...

Is there a benefit to adding stations on the waiting bays instead of just placing a bunch of parallel tracks behind chain signals? I am not sure is it better in current version. I learned it when I played 0.12 but they may have changed something in train control algorithms after that. Then it reduc...

Isnt the best solution to get the aliens not to attack? How about building a wall so far away from your base that pollution has tapered of? The best may vary. If you have really big base, you need tens of square kilometers area and tens of kilometers walls. It take huge amount of time to build such...

I make parallel waiting tracks with own stops for every trains. Room and tracks are practically free and it is easy to build. I get also nice realistic looking rail yards. Such a system works flawlessly hundreds of hours under heavy load, except sometimes a train try to go through a wrong track and...

The 2-8 ore train, how are you getting the six inserters to load the three full belts like that? I am not able to reproduce that... These belts are not full except they are backlogged. There are more parallel parts in that part than needed, but it does not take more than couple of belts. The essent...

You do not have the circuit conditions. Connect all chests together with red wires. Connect that wire also to input of an arithmetic combinator. Set input as copper ore / -16 and output as copper ore. Then connect all output inserters together with red wires. Connect this network (it must not be con...

I am almost sure that 390 kW is given in the game. Look at crating menu.

If the first cargo wagon consistently has 90% of it's load left when the three other are empty, eventually the chests used by the other three will empty and all the load will end up coming from the chests for the first cargo wagon. However, I suspect by that point I would be having issues with less...

My first guess is that your axe has weared to the end. You can make a new iron or steel axe in the crafting menu.
