Re: [TRAINS] How to properly make a big train stacker?
and when there is no room for a full train load (Blue) Why have I not think about using that in this context :( This wasn't mentionned in the thread earlier but is definitively something that helps a lot in the situation. I do think you've understand the original request but OP has too confirmed. F...

Re: [Poll] 0.17 Quickbar
I always use picker tool, i haven't manage to get the best out of the new quickbar, i just put fish in the beginning. But what changes the most from me is that i cannot use it as an inventory slot and i still find myself trying ( and then i lose my fish when i get rid off my inventory ). The previou...

Re: Rail Bridges experiments
I see better now, i knew train were drawn above the tunnel even if they go under but if you have only 1 train, it just hide the tunnel as if there was a regular crossing and it doesn't pop out to the eye, only if you happen to have train at the same time above and under the tunnel does this happen, ...

Re: Rail Bridges experiments
I have noticed a mistake in the second picture on a signal, but it is not in the blueprint it seems. Those have worked fine so far with my LC train, the signaling should work for LCC train but not very long trains for that you would need to replace some signal to prevent a train colliding with itsel...

Re: Redesign the entire railway system. Again!
It's clear that a LCC, LLCCCC, LLLLCCCCCCCC or LLLLLLLLCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC are similarly fast. I read something that is a little different recently in this one https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=72132 , if you account for air resistance ( which i didn't know was in the game) then you...

Re: question about difficulty
Indirectly, more experimented players tend to builds faster, which creates pollution faster, and lessen your ability to "control everything at your pace" if you have never played the game, 10 of them joining at the same time will make things feel out of control very fast :), but they shoul...

Re: [TRAINS] How to properly make a big train stacker?
As for the behavior of the train i think when a station disable they immediatly try to go to the next one on schedule, which if you happen to close all iron unload at the same time , all train would leave each station even if the condition was set to 'empty cargo'. But quote me on that if i'm wrong...

Re: Why is a heavier train faster?
while rolling resistance is independant from speed. I was surprised to discover that it depends on the material used for the moving part and the floor. In my mind I pictured a curved rail and imagine that there would be more "friction", due to centrifugal power, if the train is faster or ...

Re: Why is a heavier train faster?
Air resistance. A large fraction of the first locomotive's power is dedicated to fighting air resistance. The second locomotive adds a huge boost to speed because it can focus all its power on pulling wagons. Is that coded in the game ? What about the increase of friction due to the extra contact s...

According my explanation, it doesn't matter before or after droppoint the turn starts. The only important thing - find out where perpendicular part is, and then apply "far side". I failed to understand diamond explanation, maybe I just haven't tried enough :). I like my explanation, it wo...

Re: More lane changers or not?
It seems like your design allows 2 trains to enter the stacker at the same time, then 3 trains to get ready to load at the same time. But then only 1 train to be loaded at a time, and then 2 trains to exit the station at the same time. If your plan was to stack another loading bay above the existing...

Re: Question - Is Inserter item drop position intuitive?
I don't think that explains anything at all. With the belt going towards or from the inserter as well as in curved situation the furthest diamond is centered on the belt with both left and right side taking 50% of the diamond. How does that explain which side the inserter picks? diamond lane2.jpg L...
