Is there an analysis of how this compares with an ordinary LHD roundabout without the extra cross-tracks throught the middle of the circle? Not that i know of, but it should yield pretty similar result to the "crossabout" vs "roundabout" shown in page 1. Given this is a smaller ...

Not sure this should be here or in suggestions, but: Why is there no check for whether what you have quoted is actually what was posted,[add tons of crap here] or a way of approving quotes of yourself - There is nothing stopping me just changing what someone said in a quote of that person. there is...

yep that's better

but i have experienced that the trains actually skip the pickup station completely instead of waiting at their current stop, this means they will go towards the dropoff station without even having a full inventory, a condition for them to wait until the next stop has reservations for the train woul...

If you have 2 stations called A both with a limit set to 1 and have a train travelling to both stations and disable one of those stations one of the trains will instant stop with "destination full", this should act the same as the previous scenario where the train treats the disabled stat...

I think the vanilla pump is your circuit-controllable non-return valve. Having a tank filling up for each fluid/gas allow for reading the quantity of either propene or residual. And add pumps connecting those tanks to flare stack. Then you can use combinators to do operation on those numbers if need...

Great !

1) What is the logic for calling construction bots to work? When I drop a blueprint to build an outpost, it looks like the summoned bots are coming from far away from the base, fly all across the map to get supplies then fly all across the map to lay things down to the blueprinted area there's a di...

How do I get the rocket launcher to target ground? I've tried pressing 'C', but it still won't fire without a target. SPACE shoots to the nearest enemy unit, C shoots to mouse pointer if there's something like a unit, structure or tree, ground or water was never targetable IMHO. this doesn't apply ...

The consensus I seem to pick up is that pollution-induced attacks are something to be avoided? Whether by managing pollution or a biter eradication program, it looks like you don't like it when a nest comes under the cloud. It also depends on settings, if you play without biter expansion like in a ...

I like the fact that's optionnal. On my old laptop there is a delay during scene transition, which freeze the background but also the ability to interact with the menu which is unfortunate. The more frequent the scene transition the worse it gets. Apart from that i like the idea of having game image...

That makes this strategy less of a resource saver then I was hoping. this strategy can be a big ressource saver early game, when the pollution cloud is manageable and only triggers attacks from one or few directions. To avoid this moment when you want to wall off everything, but it feels too early,...

for outpost supply/repair (other than sulphuric acid) consumption is "bursty" by nature so I'd expect it would normally stop. True, i made previous observations in game only when scaling the system to production ressources and not just side-supply. The only side-supply i see potentially e...

this way you keep the green signal for "everything > 300" for example, then you emit green signal to tell the train to leave. and train stop enable if anything <0. It sets the 2 bounds. I think the simplest solution is to stop unloading when the maximum is reached (eg filter inserters unl...

In some situations these are the same. If we need to spend much time and efforts to make something, then only few people can make this. And for others this will be equal to impossible. For example, is it possible to play with metal constructor kit? Yes, certainly. You need a metal, lathe machine, m...

Or a constant combinator with the negatives of the desired minima, connected to the stop along with storage chests, and the stop enabled if anything < 0. yes even better, this way you keep the green signal for "everything > 300" for example, then you emit green signal to tell the train to...

i just try to figure out: on megabase can i name all unload stations with same name, or this is bad idea because the farthest stations never get any ore (if case when trains have enough closest stations to not create a queue ?? (for simple example if 1 have 1 train - will he always go to one closes...

still less after than before it was added but the icon is so tiny !

That's sad. Well it depends, if you were left with only the mods that I am able to make yes you'd be in a desolated wasteland of nothingness. Luckily there are some amazing mods out there! https://mods.factorio.com/mod/space-exploration . This one was featured in a FFF, it felt already polished las...

this is cumbersome and inconvenient. If you need several such filters, then you get a monstrous ugly thing, which you want immediately destroy. On the suggestion template ( https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=47316 ) it is asked that you explain "why" you want that thing. ...
