Re: Canceling crafting when inventory is full spills items

Please don’t mix spilling when canceling crafting .vs. spilling when inventory shrinks! Strange, how opinions change with time. ;) Five years ago this behavior has been celebrated by YouTubers as new and innovative game-element. You have this hidden crafting inventory. Players can use it to pick up...

Re: Pairwise Arithmetic / each op each

Thanks for sharing all those ! I had a look at the other operation but the division got most of my attention even though that's the one i'm the least likely to ever use in game, it feels like it's the one where there is the most to learn from at first, i hope you don't mind some questionning : / div...

Re: Turning a lamp red or green based on train stop state

This can be done using 2 decider combinators and a lamp. 1 of those decider combinator should be connected to the train stop with a wire so that their input is the same as the train stop. ( use both green and red wire if necessary). That same decider combinator should have the same condition as the ...

hmm. You can pull Russia out of the Soviet Union, but you can't pull the Soviet Union out of Russia. Russian newspeak includes more and more politically correct words: Explosion - clap.

Re: Help with automation plz!

Mainly it would be something like have 5000 red belt megabus built , research blue belt, decide to update all to bluebelt, no more tech to research and yellow science not automated.

Re: Help with automation plz!

By my math, with adv. oil processing, making lubricant and cracking all the light oil to petroleum will result in 1.2 petroleum per lubricant. If you're cranking out blue belts for builds, you're presumably using those blue belts to feed machines and stuff and those late game advanced constructions...

Re: Pipe throughput measurements

I'm sorry if I kind of interrupt the mathematical discussion, but there is something very basic I don't understand. I read about direction and build order. For a long time, I assumed "direction" means the current direction and momentum of a fluid; from left to right or from right to left ...

Re: Pipe throughput measurements

This can be understood as : what makes the system stable is a time passing when the fluid is present in all pipes from the source to the sink. When the fluid flow in the same direction as the game update the fluidbox level then it takes only 1 tick for the whole system to enter a state where each t...

Trains should treat full stations like disabled stations when path finding, so in this situation these 2 iron trains should go to the next station in the schedule I think the problem in this case is that the station for iron unload was opened without limit at some point, or as other mentionned that...
