To be honest the cliff just vanishes into thin air. No explosions or something.
True. With the new particle system it should be possible to make them crumble into the ground.

Re: [0.18.22]Logistics system problems

If robots need to repair something they can also take the repair pack out of a passive provider, buffer or logistic chest. ( red, green or yellow chest).

Do not put them into the roboport with the inserter.

Re: Is this the end of my playthrough?

1) Without analysing my base - I wouldn't expect anyone to go through that painful task - does the community think that switching to solar may be enough to save this base? 2) Can anyone provide insight into where most of the processing is going, from the debug screenshot? 3) Is my computer just too...

Re: Issues understanding combinators output

maybe one more note: the tick before tick 0 either was literally the first tick, or it had some values X != M

if you have a combinator like that "(X = M) output 1 P", then it will output 1 P if there is no input, because X and M are both 0

Re: Issues understanding combinators output

It's the same reason why it does not output P =1 on tick 0. Combinator output is always delayed by 1 tick. This goes for every entity.
The combintor outputs P = 1 in tick 2 because in tick 1 the condition was true.

Re: integer overflow

Also coppercoil showcased the magic already quite well (although a 0 snuck in where it don't belong)

127 = 0111 1111
127 x 127 = 16129 = 0011 1111 0000 0001

Re: research tree help

No, but the campaign is the tutorial. The "real" game is the freeplay. Just start a new game, open the research tree and you will see all the available techs, including construction bots. Also, I would recommend to play the latest experimental version. If you have steam: right click - prop...

Re: research tree help

Sounds like you are playing the tutorial. Did the game start with several tasks, like building ammunition and red flasks? Is there a small robot telling you what to do? If yes, that is indeed the tutorial and you will not unlock anything there. Start a new game, freeplay with standard options should...

we can now make trains avoid blocks they occupy because they don't spontaneously repath.

A perfect example of how a player can screw up a station or system, either by bad design or by doing something that was not intended in the first place.

Re: Request: Max number of trains for stations

I read carefully through all the posts and the more I think about this idea, the more I like it. But there are some very basic questions that are not yet answered. This is how I would approach it: - If the train finds a viable station that uses the "maxTrain value" it saves this particular...

Re: Thinking of getting the game if there is ever some type of steam sale for the game.

The sad thing is: if the game was at 60$/50€ (and yes, it is imho worth that much) and if it was on a 50% sale sometimes it probably would sell better

Re: Pollution off the charts?

A mining drill produces 10 pollution per minute.

You are producing 4.2k pollution with your mining drills, so about 420 are currently active. Provided that you did not use any modules.
That does not seem wrong to me.

There was also a bug in 16.51 that caused the biter nests to absorb all of the pollution but never sending out the appropriate amount of biters. Meaning that a few biter nests would absorb the entire pollution from one direction and the biters would only attack on a very small scale. The nests behin...
