If one take as base shape a circle of diameter 20 tile cut along diagonal axis to insert a 4 diagonal rails you get : (20*pi)+4sqrt(2) = 68.4887073213, too big but look like what we have in game in terms of pieces to make a circle. I suppose there is some plays on the thickness or centering (see las...

Nevermind found it !

8.55 - sqrt(2)/2 = 7.84289321881

We know the current curved rail moves 7 tiles in the major direction and 3 tiles in the minor direction, curving from 0° to 45 Maybe a super ellipse ? https://procato.com/superellipse/ ( try with same height and width and default n or at least >2 ), i have no idea how one would measure the precise ...

So... trains start braking 1 meter before a rail signal, effectively adding ~1 meter to the braking distance and changing stop time accordingly. The good news is: This doesn't happen when a train is stopping at a train stop. On the one hand i'm tempted to ask how did you come to this conclusion wit...

... why Informatron is listed as a place to be?

I think It got promoted to space platform manager:)

And this is the T in the blueprint That is still a mystery to me. The design for the load/unload area for train with loco facing each way i think i recognized it from the FFF with bridges and ramps so i assumed every other rectangle similar are for trains. I just realized that on your screenshot th...

Great !! 0 problem only questions and observations in random order Once we allowed the remote entity configuration, a new annoying problem popped up. Locally, you might be used to just building an assembling machine and configuring it right away. But with remote building, you had to place the ghost,...

Almost, but if you're using quality on a given layer, you can't use speed - since that reduces quality. Hence prod will probably work out both cheaper (fewer modules as the assemblers with the modules will run faster), smaller, and higher throughput. It's also usable with the rest of your base, so ...

I'm not sure i'm sharing that conclusion, if you use quality only at the last layer, you remove yourself the chances of getting the "rare" +2 +3 +4 quality upgrade. You only expect the +1. That sound like not the most optimal way, maybe it's just because i haven't seen the numbers. :?: :?...

Hmm, ok, I've just made a spreadsheet to come up with the numbers, and it seems right, and it's now giving 40x as expensive - 30x if you're clever and put L5 prod mods in a few assemblers... Please share ! :d If you use multiple layers of crafting with quality then it gets muuuuuch cheaper - every ...

I realize you may already know the mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/multiple-stop-names But in case i thought it was achieving a result close to what you describe, since you have multiple stop name on a single one, you also have multiple condition for being on/off, and can somewhat replicate the &q...

Anybody has the same feelings? Help D*: I guess all those persons waiting in queue in front of stores to buy the latest thing. I've always seen that just on TV and never related but i think i understand a little bit better now :) Aren't FFF like free-lootboxes that someones open for you every week ...

Inputs in 0-100 range (there's an input divider if you use e.g. steam tanks) running for an hour accumulate to a maximum of 21.6 million. That allows for I value up to 100, which is pretty big. Overflows might become a problem if full throttle isn't enough power and idle is too much, so it never se...

Ah, right, I did forget that modules themselves could benefit from quality (assuming quality modules are not exempt from this), and if it was mentioned somewhere that rare modules specifically was being used for the calculations, I missed it. I do wonder why use rare modules for the calculations, t...

Clock compensators are attached to I and D logic lines because otherwise longer clock cycles produce smaller integrals and larger derivatives, which affects PID behavior. They basically just exist so that you don't need to tweak PID values if you decided to tweak clock rate. Accumulator's clock com...

Also, if you're all gonna discuss probabilities, should probably use the actual numbers given by the devs instead of making up random numbers. The % here are those with tier 3 quality module, not Legendary tier 3. With those : Normal: Base quality for everything, no bonus Uncommon: +30% bonus Rare:...

Will u be able to connect the new rail system to the old one? Or should I start replacing the old one with the new one as soon as I update? As you can probably guess, the new rail curves will be incompatible with the old ones. Savegames from 1.1 can be opened and trains will still run on previously...

No mmmPI that's not how probabilty works stop confusing people on the forum.

OK sorry Koub i fixed my math mistake.

I once got as low as 12 before i could finish what was planned, that was pretty bad without the GTTS mod. It felt like i was increasing production, but gamespeed kept decreasing making it no faster IRL. 20 for me is fine for longer time but still 30 feels much better that's what i set it to when i p...

Made me realize that eating fish doesn't actually heal you from stepping in acid spilled on the floor. I think players are given rather irrealistic expectations too when it comes to mining uranium with sulfuric acid that magicallly disappear without the need to create huge reservoir dam for mining w...
