Is there any special reason that long inserters are faster then normal ones?
I think it would be better to show the rotation speed in the tool tip in rotations/s instead of degree/s.

Do you have any other mods running? I have never seen oil in the water. I have seen rubber trees in quite big number around the water. Definitely other mods, not ones that affect trees spawning though. "Water Ores" allows ores to spawn in water. It doesn't specifically add more of them li...

Rubber trees seem to be a real problem, and they are needed for electric drills. I explored a large area and found none at all: https://i.imgur.com/1vSkeL4.jpg I suppose /editor is the solution. But should there be another way, like converting regular saplings through some process? After using edit...

I'll do it some time after the next Factorio stable release. Will be spending my free time this weekend doing some baking and playing other games. As you don't allow PM anymore I have to ask here: Hi. I would like to make and publish a few mods that have (optional) dependencies on your IR. Mainly a...

Yes, noticed that as well now that inserter tooltips display rotation speed in human-readable form for comparison. My preference at the moment is to equalise the speed of long-handed with regular, I never fully realised how much faster red inserters actually are. There is an "orange inserter&q...

With the new tool tips I see that you made burner inserters as fast as normal inserters, while the long ones are still faster, burner and normal. I would suggest to reduce the speed of the long burners to 0.014 (0,84 turns/s, base game normal inserters) and speed up normal inserters to 0.02 (1.2 tur...

I like the mod a lot. Great work, beautiful artwork. I would like you to think about a step in between steam and nuclear. What I would like to see are some combustion engines, big diesel engines for instance with advanced engines and advanced electric engines at steel tech. For that I would add some...

All up I think I placed over a thousand building by hand before I got bots. Currently approaching 200 hours with mk3 modules in my circuit production but I also have 150 hours in a parallel creative mode map that I use to design blueprints. I have used nanobots. Building and hooking up hundreds of ...

How about fluid inputs for (electronic) assemblers MK1? That is the last thing only MK2+ have. Also your stream powered has it.
How about making it have the steam ports on all sides and add a steam powered inserter? I think that would be cool.

Is there a possibility to solve this problem in a more elegant way, for example creating tanks without bottom (infinite)?!

I would be grateful in advance for a solution to this problem.

A) Angel's mods not bobs.
B) Clarifiers with an overflow valve in front solves it.

The boiler prototype would probably error if it had no pipes. Besides, you'd need to have the energy source set to heat, in which case it would open a full boiler GUI when you clicked on it. I tested around a bit with it. The boiler prototype indeed errors without fluid boxes. However I found an ot...

in which case, you'd probably need to set it up with a void power source, but 0 output, but is that even allowed? How about a boiler without fluid boxes or can't they re transmit the heat? That is the third kind of entity with a heat capacity. Also are furnaces/assemblers with a heat power source p...

Did you take into consideration the amount of power needed to refine the oil to enriched blocks? You loose about halve to a quarter of the bonus power.

yeah, looking in the game files I didn't really understand how the logic network determines what kind of signals an entity can emit. That is probably part of the C++ entity class, so that all tanks emit their content, batteries their load level and so on. I guess I can do a complicated setup with la...

@bobingabout Could you add a signal to the reactors and heat sources (Or an extra entity) that displays there temperature?

Sure. KS power boilers are only I think 70% efficient. You get nearly 50 more power out of bob's oil burning boilers. Then there are the heat sources that get you additional power with adjacency that are even more efficient. Sure they are expensive but compared to the cost of all the science, rocket...

So I think, its a better alternative to enriched fuel, which is also a bit more compelling.

@Trainwreck: Thanks for the update.

To be better then enriched fuel you only need 20% more fuel value(less when you take processing into consideration). You have that with two heat sources.

The higher marks get bigger bonuses, so go up higher. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%284*3%2B2*%28x-2%29*4%2B%28x-2%29*%28x-2%29*5%29%2F%28x*x%29+where+x%3D4 That is the formula for square blocks. 4x4 gets you 3x the fuel value. 10x10 gets you 4x. It's just interesting with how the mod tries...
