I'd say it's not the problem of logistics for me. It's usually the problem of being literally stuck in game - there is no way to progress further until you build all of this I agree! It's not the difficulty that puts me off, it's the difficulty spike . Everyhing before this point can be easily deal...

What I've found out in 0.11 after 80hours of gameplay is that robots are better to produce bob's circuits than belts. Yep, but you need circuits to make robots :cry: That's why I do in the following order: - Just get from 4 to 8 eletronic circuits assemblers - Convert every one of them into blue sc...

https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10340 I think the argument now is whether we should have a rail system that is flexible but prone to misalignment when placing. Or, do we want a semi-rigid rail system that is more forgiving when being placed, at a small loss of flexibility. ...

Sorry, I know it's been discussed, but can we get floor tiles to cover water? Yes, it's a bridge... And yes, I want to build on it... at least conveyors. Maybe just timber pontoons. Yes! Here are "floor tiles" to cover water - https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=4973

didn't realize that underground pipes and belts can cross each other.

Yes, weird - not sure how the link got messed up. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!

It took me about 12 games to become tired of the base game. Then I played with Dytech and Treefarm for a handful of games. After that I went back to the base game with some new ideas for the layout. I played a couple games there and now I'm working through Bobs Mods. I am looking forward to the upco...

Add a train stop with 0 wait time and put this stop on the trains schedule.

This smelting setup has the capacity to fully load 4 express belts (120 items per second)

- Using bigger trains (4 wagons), and more complex time tables then (less trains, more movement) I typically use a 4 wagon train. But, after looking at this system, I'm attracted to the simpler 2 wagon train for the following reasons: - train fuel use is inconsequential - a 2 wagon train with 16 fa...

That is amazing. Think i'll download it and take a look at how everything works.. maybe on the weekend. So the belt trick does work! Good to have this confirmed. What belt trick? the one for the defence perimiter? or something to do with production? The defence thing i'd known about, and have been ...

What's the matter ssilk, Hungary for more?

What about Lithuanian, Romanian or even Czech?

if you'd like I can set you a challenge as well, try and build an optimized design for building all belt types efficiently. although you might just want them to unload in logistics chests for your bot, the supply lines can be quite tricky. Belt production is limited by gear input. One full express ...

At that stage of the game, I'd suggest using just productivity modules for the following reasons: 1 - Speed modules can be replaced with more furnaces 2- Efficiency Modules don't matter since pollution doesn't matter and energy can be produced with more solar 3 - productivity makes more from less.
