Careful with that. If the real station gets disabled while the train is between stations then it will stop with "No path" in the middle of the tracks. As soon as you want to expand to 2 trains for the schedule that is a certainty. That is true, I had fiddle around and came up with a fix,i...

How do you make it open during 3 tick for inserter to move 3 steel beam, with 1 item on belt ? this is my puzzle x) i don't want train to repath every tick, nor do i want station enable/disable every tick, i try a light version. my next idea : use solar panel to synchronise wagon content in receiver...

or maybe some white flask got stuck on pesky splitters ? that happened to me

the concept of making a total of the selection before making half of it then take the true half of it (with fully compressed stack remaining)
Ctrl + middlemouse"

that is simpler , especially for non-stackable or odd number item stack.

now i don't understand you, why is it important that what is left in the chest is the good stack size? If you want to take only half of the chest you just CTRL click the chest directly. You can wire the inserter to the chest, with a condition like Belts<400, and another inserter with condition Split...

On the first screenshot of the train taking wrong path he bypassed 2 signals. On the second one, it seems like the event only occured 1 time, he bypassed one signal. Was probably ready to continue. There is no way i can load and check this (150MB :| ) map sadly. But that makes me think it is a short...

if we keep holding Shift then we pass the mouse over each slot (still holding the click too) That would force to open the chest gui everytime. which is what you have to do now to achieve what you want, open the gui and Shift Left click every slots you want to clear, one by one , a bit annoying but ...

I think the point is for the second situation, if you want a box to contain half iron ore half plate , you put that in it, then you can just take half of the iron plate, you don't need to worry about filters on the chest slots and the iron ore taking all room. Sure you can control what's get put in ...

Im just trying to make the point that the orientation of the insertor should be the deciding factor as It makes more sense to me and it give me (the player) more control🤓 https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Bobingabout/bobinserters Now you have total control ! I do agree that it COULD have been the deci...

I do not want to single out every point with a " yeah but " i would like to point out that some different network topology makes some formula not applicable or different. tree network lane2.png Situation 1 makes neuralgic points in serial, which increases their weight compared to situation...

I realised the topic was 4 pages long and i should have link to more precise post, or maybe i didn't get your point. I’m not questioning if the insertor should place the item up, down, left or right as long as its consistent. All I’m saying Is that the location on the belt should be determined by th...

When I discover the game I had lots of free time and split it in 3, one part I was building/playing, anoother part I was looking at videos where a youtuber was doing the same "step" as me, and i was visiting multiplayer server an ask question( this was VERY impressive to me ! ) Luckily fac...

You could see that thread, i was unsure of the logic at first, but i have been convinced since then.

Does anyone have any specific objections to the track tech levels I described above? I just want to understand, you cannot have different radii for tier 1 and tier 2 AND also hope to have tier 1 upgrade to tier 2, unless you only allow for upgrading the straight rails, which loose quite a bit of th...

The trains dont have to move at all for this to work, and the states are kinda similar with disconnected stations as well I find it curious that in your screenshots the receiver station is turned off, I have mine always turned on (save for when the clock pulses them off, but thats probably redundan...

What would you consider intuitive ? How do you expect trains or rails to behave ? What is/ are the things that happens that is annoying ? Is it the different parts individual behavior ? or more when they start to cross and share track and stations and multiples trains ? From what you said it seems t...

Why wouldnt it work with unconnected stations, though? after trying to replicate what i see, i would say the approach when station are connected via rail is more straightforward. It ressemble exactly the switchboard, The train is wether in position or not in this position, 0 or 1 and those are stab...

Hey i was a bit disappointed that the method proposed was not good enough, so I took your save, and try to implement the "loop around to make room" thing on your setup. 20190628121320_1.jpg I wanted to look at both of them at the same time, your version and mine, and then i realised there ...

I have done some further experiment and managed to have a functionning version of what i described. this how it look on the map, North and East are the supposed uranium patch, i used infinity chest, and water instead of acid, you could just add or move the tank to simulate a tank that need acid. 201...
