Instead of using the 3:1 splitter on the input it would make nuch more sense to do the balancing logic via circuits. Something like "enabled if n< average". And had the chests outputting to a lane balancer. This way you could expand the buffers width without having to design a complex spli...

Fluid squashing?

Instead of the 2 x 2 grids as suggested. How about .5 x .5 grids for water. I'm not too familiar with how the water generation techniques work. But you would then only need to make textures for, the water tiles, corners, and edges.

Somebody beat me to the highlighting rails suggestion already. But how about this. The ends of the blocks have lines. And the color that the rails are highlighted is based on the signal (green red yellow blue). Won't look like a clowny at all when there are no trains. And it would be much easier to ...

What i want is exactly what the post ssilk linked to suggests. I kinda abandoned this post because of that.

So when is recursive blueprints getting added to the base game.

Where are the devs in all this. This topic is far too old and lacking entirely in purple chat.

I did this one a long time ago with exactly 111. It was on a semi public server meaning the password was obtainable but hard to get. The last like 5 crafts was something like pipe. Almost had to rollback. I didn't really enjoy this achievement that much. Although its the only time i ever launched a ...

Cons: Requires rewriting the way inseters work.
Pros: freaking amazing

I like this idea. But people are going to find that spot where the images are taken. And fill it with dongs.

You would use it when you want to have a more efficient train system. Like having trains that only go to an outpost when needed. Or have a dedicated refuel point.

TL;DR Trains can decide where to go. What ? It would be cool if trains could set their own stops by circuit. I feel like with the functionality within trains it wouldn't be too much of a jump. Like using the same and or logic you can say that if the train has iron ore in it or something that it goe...

3 pumps are capable of emptying a fluid wagon in under 4 seconds, so that rate is likely to be accurate but once you add even one piece of pipe between the pump and any destination, the fluid transfer speed drops drastically. So hooking 10 offshore pumps to 1 such pump won't do you any good, as the...

Very well could just not be a bug. But 12000 fluid per second sounds awfully fast considering an offshore is only 1200/s. It unloads a tank in less than a second! When I saw it in the description I thought it was a typo. I want to know if this is a bug before I start hooking up 10 offshores to a cha...

They have stated several times that is not worth the time to fix.

*Not Important* Basically I think it would be cool to see the total amount of time the factory has been crafting for. Like basically it takes the crafting time of each item and then multipies it by the number of items shown in the production menu. Im picturing a thing with the time icon in the produ...

I've seen this obsession with making displays. Either 7seg or perhaps even the scrolling signs. I see them as too complicated and using too many signals. Mine is simple. Allows for 2D and theretically could support color on only one axis. But I've been too lazy to implement. The real claim to fame i...

Woah people still use mumble? Wow

Oh hey cool I inspired somebody. This was actually the intention of the golden train initially, then i gave up because I got tied up with school. I wish i had some tips for you

It seems the biggest problem here is a lack of admins. People really need to be more lax about promoting players. Perhaps someone should bug the devs to add a mod rank which can only do mod commands to make it easier to promote people you don't necessarily trust.
