EDIT: Also, since inserters prefer the closer (???) track when taking items, it also makes sense to even the inputs, too - this ensures that even with inserter preferences, if continued down the line, you will typically have belt balance - in the long run. I would add that you may want 2 item types...

The ratio depends exclusively on what you wand to do with your factory. You you heavily rely on solid fuel ? Solid fuel is optimally obtained with light. Do you have big needs of lubricant ? This is made with heavy. Are you a flamethrower addict ? You need light and heavy to make your ammo. If none ...

Don't forget that the longer the pipe, the more you lose fluid throughput. To balance that, you need small pumps, built with electrical motors. And if your distant oil field outpost is really far away, you'll need a lot of them if you want to get the oil to your main factory. Trains with barrels can...

Unfortunately not. I hope it will be added some day, either in the production overview, either in a new overview that would aggregate all kinds of ressources and outputs, wether material or immaterial. I'm sure this has been already talked of several times over time. [Edit] : https://forums.factorio...

Depending on your needs, it might be good to have on hand enough to quick-build outposts (near outposts for early needs): - Electric mining drills - Turrets - Bullets (a lot) - Power poles - Walls Note : this is a personal opinion. Concerning your question about the possibility to limit something yo...

I have seen a lua command to remove rocks from all discovored chuncks somewhere [Edit]: for _, entity in ipairs(game.findentitiesfiltered{area = area, type = "tree"}) do entity.die() end for _, entity in ipairs(game.findentitiesfiltered{area = area, name = "stone-rock"}) do entit...

You just reinvented Dragonball Capsules !

I may be a minority in the Factorio players' community, but I'm not that thrilled about the new signals. Trains already seem so complicated to me I didn't even try to get into building railroads. I love the automation aspect of Factorio, but I'm not specially interested in building and programming a...

I personnally prefer local steel production. It makes a narrower main bus. Thus I can't tell how I balance steel/iron production.

An anti-light, that makes surrounding look as if it was midnight

True story bro, it didn't exist (at least it was virtually unknown) when I was in school

sure, but if I have to make a space optimal 16x16 rebalancer to compensate for the compression losses of my 8x8 space optimal rebalancer, I'm not sure space optimization is very productive.

The 1 is pretty self explanatory : low terrain segmentation means large areas with same terrain. High segmentation is the contrary, the terrain changes nature often. Typically huge forrest vs lots of small woods. The 2 is how far from your spawn point the closest biters are at the beginning of the g...

Nice, but way too useful for a pointless mod.
Healing only trees is far more pointless imho

For sustaining maximum throughput I suppose one has to split all incoming belts into two, then have two balancers, then remerge afterwards to the original number of belts. That's corners. As you won't be able to optimize throughput and space needed for the rebalancer, if you eliminate the space con...

I would see the turret range display appear when a turret is mouse over'ed or when a defensive structure is being built (example : when you grab a turret or a wall in your inventory, all on screen turrets plus the turret you're about to build show their range).

A weapon that heals damaged trees when shot at them

The safest way is : remove rail, cross in the gap, set the rail back.

- Who did this pointless mod ?
- Nobody.
- OK. Seems legit.
