I just discovered this patch of my solar field:

The bots just built stuff on top of the trees! The trees seem to be in between the panels and accums and I do have a mod that shrinks the hitbox of most entities...

I have no idea what happened. It might have been system or hardware issue, or something special we didn§t expect.
You can solve it by just re-downloading the newest version from the website.
Upon starting the game it simply updated to the newest version so no problems here. Thanks for checking ...

I got this error while updating from 0.14.17 to 0.14.19:

try putting a station before the unload stations (left of blue square) with a wait time of 0 seconds. trains should recalculate after the 0 second stop.

I have used this technique in my previous game but it seems that it only works to a degree. This is because the trains will leave from that ...

At this point in the game I don't even get to use all the resources that I'm able to collect, so usually trains take a while to unload because the belts/furnaces to which they output are barely consuming anything.

I've actually (on a different game) settled for something more traditional (train ...

You use a blueprint with only signals an then you managed to place the signals the wrong way round. Use a blueprint with rail integrated to prevent that.
NaB.

Uh, what are you talking about? I never placed signals on the wrong side of the track...

When I approach biter nests no biters will spawn. I can safely stand next to a group of spawners or even shoot them without anything happening. It's only when I destroy a spawner that it spawns some biters (but that might be because of Swarm).

All those calculations and the factor of 0.84 is based on assuming, that your factory needs constant power. But the truth is: that is never going to happen. I build it always so, that I use about 50% of the power. If I go over 50% I know I need eventually moa... :)

Not constant, on average (over ...

This is interesting:

The left signal is placed by hand. The right signal by bot.
If you watch where the signal placement markers then you'll see that I can place them directly next to the one on the right but not next to the one on the left. This indicates that the ...

And bear in mind that it is quite normal to "outgrow" a base and need to tear it down and rebuild it bigger and better - I'm currently building my 3rd main bus in preparation for making rocket parts.

I don't want to say you are doing it wrong but the point of a main bus is that it is extensible ...

The blueprint in question is the single blueprint in the quickbar (not the books).

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the flashing signals are a mix of having been built before or after the rail was built (around 50/50). Maybe this is important somehow.

When I let my bots build a blueprint containing signals some signals will be flashing afterwards.



Replacing the signals afterward works (either by hand or by bot).

A bit above this station I have built the same blueprint and the exact same signals were flashing.

Flat resistance is applied first, then percentage, both are taken into account.

Also the second number in damage and shooting speed IS the bonus. So if you have a damage of 10 (+22) then your total damage bonus amounts to 22 damage and the weapon will deal 32 damage per hit.

Ah oke. It's clear ...

I have some questions regarding damage and turrets

The tooltip of the gunturret says that is has a shooting speed of: "10 + 10/s"
What do both numbers mean? Why are there 2 numbers at all? Are both numbers affected equally by shootingspeed upgrades?

The tooltips of the piercing magazine says it ...

I was under the impression that mods also disable achievements

Not planning for expansion - Sure you only need 2 Electronic Circuit assemblers now. Just wait till later. Learn from your games how much of each component you need and plan accordingly.

I want to expand upon this point a bit. Making a base expandable means to me:

I don't think that there are commands that do not disable achievements.
But maybe you can cut your blueprint in 2-4 smaller pieces and place them 1 by 1

I wonder why you dislike the main bus approach because I find it to be a very clear and expandable (if you put everything in the right place) way of organizing things.

I very much agree on number 6. On my own game with close to 200h of playtime I'm still at 98%-ish evolution (or did you mean 1%? In ...
