Thanks. I guess I'll just have to apply the experimental method for this.

I just read the link and I'm more confused. If I understand correctly, to get fluid velocity you divide the pressure by some factor. The tightest the pipe the easiest it is to achieve high pressure (since a tight pipe has smaller capacity and pressure is a ratio of current capacity to max capacity),...

Of course, sorry! I had not researched that yet.

It took a bit of squinting to finally see how you configured the flow triggers, but I finally saw the green wires between them and the pumps. This is a very nice setup!

Here's a perpetual build :D Perpetual.jpg Orange pump sets to pump when Flow-Trigger has < 5 units of fluid Red pump sets to pump when Flow-Trigger has > 9 units of fluid Each build can support 600 KW of continuous generation. Never needs repriming or manual restarts. Just needs water and the initi...

I see the same thing with 0.12.16 on OS X 10.11.1.

I have a question regarding electrical furnaces: compared to chemical furnaces, they smelt as fast, use as much energy, cost more and happen later in the tech tree. Do they have a use that I have missed (they seem to have fewer recipes than chemical furnaces)?

I enjoy it as well, though I have already found my first bug. 1. There is an error in the research chain that will not let you advance more than a couple of technologies into the green tier research due to the research tree "looping" so to speak. I solved the problem by unlocking Zinc-and...

I'm playing a mod that implements this kind of restrictions: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 87&t=12379 Having to automate everything is loads of fun!

I've been trying NARMod, looking for something more challenging than vanilla Factorio, and I'm having loads of fun. I really enjoy the pace, where every bit of automation counts. Thanks a lot for doing this!

Making belts having some resource cost would also push toward the use of more efficient systems for long distance transportation, such as trains. Right now I only use trains because I like trains, even thought they might cost more than belts (tracks are slightly cheaper than belts, but then one has ...

I've also been thinking about the lack of motivation to build a train network, after building a very very long conveyor belt. One way to solve this would be to make a conveyor belt too expansive after a given size, for instance by imposing to have motors every 10 or 20 belts. (That's one of the grea...

I've recently started Factorio, and I'm trying the campaign first before I get to sandbox mode. I also find the third mission very difficult. However I've just learned about the fact there is stuff in the car, so I should go, pick it up, and try again. The information about the robots is very nice a...
