That does mean that you can't actually make cobalt until blue science. Is there anyway that the copper/cobalt recipe can be moved into non-electronic furnaces?

I get an error if I try and load angel's refining without angel's infinite ores, it can't find the resource-category angels-fissure.

The smelting steps are faster if going at full throughput, vanilla plates recipes are 1 per 3,5 seconds, casting machines will pump out 2 per 4 seconds. Also yes it's to expand later to make alloys from ingots, so there will be different steel mixtures, another things is you can get interesting set...

I use two deciders, one set to output red = 1 when A < 20, its output feeding to the input of the other set to output the input when a < 40 (with its output feeding into its input as well). The second decider also feeds into a light (which takes the color) and a power switch set to turn on if red > ...

Sometimes the hardest part is finding all the patches, especially if they were under a lot of trees you've just cut down. Main reason why I research the flame thrower quite early. Nothing clears forests like a bit of fire. Do flamethrowers burn grass tufts as well? Trees are annoying, but I REALLY ...

Can you trigger the process by reading the hand contents of the inserter emptying the smelter to the right? (In 0.13 at least). Use some kind of short timer to detect when it can't drop the plates onto the belt for N ticks. The switch to steel also needs to disable that inserter though, so the iron...

At the time I was somewhat short on steel but had a decent level of iron. Iron is more important though and the demand fluctuated enough that it would sometimes back up and sometimes be a bit short. I figured if it was backed up I would have enough spare that I could shore up my steel shortage and k...

As my first attempt to try and get combinators working I decided to try and set it up so the last furnace in the line of iron furnaces switches over to steel when the belt starts backing up. It also will not strand iron plates in the in or the out of the furnace. It seems to work and I thought I wou...

There is an issue with the button display. I've had several cases where the research button renders almost entirely off the screen. It seems to happen if I jump to the tech from the tree, instead of from the grid (or when I jump around selecting via both the grid and the tree). On my screen I can se...

Is there a way to get my email/username to not show up on the minimap, yet not have to type it in every time when checking the mod portal? I can remove it from the factorio username field (and start a new game), but then I need to retype it to check the portal and then any new games will have the em...
