Re: Automatic Cargo Zeppelins

It's been quite a while, so it was using previous version, but in my memory, it was possible to use the remote control from this mod : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/HelicopterRevival together with the vehicules from this one : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/M-Dirigible. That's not the same as the sug...

Re: UPS optimized 12-beacon smelting - w/minimal circuits

It's amazing to "see" the circuit network update time and the intervals when the value updates, made visible on the graph. That seem to confirm your previous hypothesis that some machines/inserters are only being updated/reading the circuit network value, when the value changes. Which is a...

Re: Friday Facts #367 - Expansion news

Well then this game breaks natural laws because it's never had a sale in the 9 years it's been available for purchase, the devs have stated multiple times there will never be a sale, and the community has accepted that there never will be a sale. I honestly think at this point people would consider...

Re: Friday Facts #367 - Expansion news

This means that for a new player looking to play the expansion, it's 60 bucks for the whole shebang, which is a bit steep for them (we know it's worth it and that there's 10+ years of work behind it, but they don't). From that one would assume it's more so going to be targeting the existing playerb...

maybe OP is missing the kind and constructive feedback of the community when there is no update for too long.

That's a very impressive factory in size and regularity judging by the pictures :)

Re: [Circuits] Integer storage for stations controller

I would be interested to have a look at the (de-)multiplexing blueprint :) It's difficult for me to understand what you are doing. It seems that what you need is some S/R latch to store values but as i understand it's tricky to set them up to behave properly. One trick you can use to delay the signa...

Re: Is nuclear power really bad for megabases?

Therefore, what I'm investigating is what the baseline/minimum UPS cost of running a huge nuclear installation in a practical situation might be, so that I can make more informed decisions about whether the performance impact is actually big enough to justify the extra work of doing solar instead. ...

As once was told on LTT forum, ram is not GPU, it still pretty cheap + there swap/virtual ram things
If you lacking of ram just get more
With the proposed suggestion, you could know which games you could join, and which games require you to buy more RAM.

I think the test could be made comparative with an array of solar pannel/Accu producing also 168GW fully consumed through several cycle of night and day, otherwise it's hard to get the entranched ideas out of my head :) Also have you tried to shoot a reactor when it's 999° and you have a 1000 of the...

Since bit arithmetic was already mentioned as a potential alternate solution: What you've been doing, i.e. splitting the Green signal into different parts, is more or less the same, but using base 10 instead of base 2. / and % can be replaced by >> resp.

Re: General Purpose Train Lines for a Megabase

Hm, I had a second thought about the rerouting. Just to clarify - here I mean a train actually selecting another target station, not another way to the same target station. As far as I understand with the train limit system, a train set to a specific station will stick to it, no matter if other sta...

Re: Combinator Help - Even Distribution of Trains and Priority Levels on Stations

Edit: also, the reset signal isn't necessarily the absence of the signal, but a value of zero in the pair of digits. For example, 1205 (or 001205) would reset P3, 130007 would reset P2, and 141100 would reset P1. I am confused because i am trying to imagine what kind of math allows you to read only...
