My newest smart Furnace design for copper iron AND steel without using any logistics robots :D I'm sorry to tell you that I coincidentally beat you by adding stone too earlier today but didn't get to finish the concept until yet... But I still like your design... Because I had the very same idea wi...

A modified Fish Sandwich red circuit build to use belts instead of bots. I had to remove an assembly machine to make room for the belts. Here is another one I found recently on Reddit while looking up something with google: http://i.imgur.com/mjZZ8M5.png Actually if I was to feed that thing per bel...

Ah well my ridiculously oversized mass storage... :lol: - it's much more efficient and cheaper to have an on-demand production. Pretty much this. Saves a lot of space and trouble. Especially if you consider moving the storage elsewhere :roll: The downside is that beacons are pretty much useless when...

Actually I would find it an interesting concept... at least if the lake refills and is not gone forever. But as I see it, it would require quite some balancing to get the threshold as well as some other things right. It would have to be similar to how oil works. It is an infinite resource but the yi...

Here my smart iron/copper production without logistic robots :) Looks quite nice... :D I guess you have a storage system located after the smelterbank so that the output belts can't fill up and eventually jam the furnace output? Because I'd be interested in what settings you used for further resear...

Thanks to everyone. I think the problem im having is that the oil deposits i am drilling are (for some reason) realllyy poor quality :( Over time they reduce to 10%... It's normal behavior. There's nothing one can do about it other than hooking about more Oil Wells as well as putting Speed Modules ...

Most definitely. Would at least spare a few reappearing threads... also it would be wise to give a short explanation why something is not considered to be changed/added so people don't ask why too.

I think it is the same problem, why the big automobile producers have many scruples introducing fully automated drivers: They would kill the clientele, that buys the car for having fun with it. I'd take such a car since I can't drive and I'm afraid of driving. :P But that's offtopic already. But le...

Having started a new map lately I encountered the same problems in early game especially with the spitters. :roll: So I came here to look if someone else had the same idea with inserters already... :D So I think the idea with inserters being able to pick up repairpacks and repair themselves and the ...

Fair enough :D And I do understand your reasoning. Probably have to give it a try. There are mods for nonconnecting pipes available. Well maybe I was a bit harsh... I'm sorry about that. ;) There are mods yes, but most of them introduce additional items as a workaround... which renders it quite pai...

one thing really interest me : with the new logic network, will we be able to compare amounts of two item together ? (to be able to have the same amount of two (or more) items) Probably... Comparisons is surely one thing the combinator can do. But let's wait until next Friday... then it will be exp...

Well that is the best worked out suggestion on how to do overlapping networks yet. :D Here are my 2 Cents: Adding new networks After researching "overlapping logistic networks" in Roboports there's a list of networks and adding a new network or deleting one out of the list can be done from...

https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-67 "We might relate some other mechanics to it, but we need to discuss it more, maybe you can give us your ideas in the comments." Well... I can think of one. It should become pretty much a requirement to pave at least some of your factory grounds be...

Funny that I never thought about the Armor before... But probably that's also because I skip right ahead of some so they never end up in my waste chest.

I will add it to the original post.

Where's the fun in that? Factorio is already pretty easy even now, what's left after even more simplifications like 90° inserters, nonconnecting pipes, etc.? :( Fun in fiddling around with underground pipes? There's like a ton of things I can think of that are fun... but pipe mess is actually not o...

Or gate, Not gate, And gate etc. to the Circuit networks?

I think it was pretty obvious in the developer diary that the "Combinator" kovarex mentioned would be something like that.

I've a spontaneous idea: - With 0.12 we should have sensors, that can detect a character in range. - With 0.12 we will have new railway-signal types (chain signals); that means, they touch the whole railway-signal code and can easily implement more functions into them. Idea: Add the possibility to ...

Sometimes HarryNews is right... Sometimes a method of controlling wethether if a pipe should connect to an adjacent tile or not would be appreciated. But most of the time conflicts may be resolved through extensive use of Underground Pipes, which avoid the conflicts at the cost of additional resourc...

I have a very special opinion on the topic: A tree with health over 50% should heal itself back to full HP. A tree with health below 50% should slowly die and get replaced by a dead tree thingy that gives less wood. A dead tree hit by anything should slowly decay and vanish. Or something like that. ...
