All,

I'm playing with all of Bob's Mods, and I'm to the point of having Red and Green Science, and looking to start on Blue.

My base is currently Spaghetti City! I'm assuming that most of you start building some distance away for the Late Game base, and start diverting resources to the new area ...

Speaking of which, the base game has artillery range upgrades, does this affect the tank artillery range as well?

Hello,
Is there any update in view for Factorio 0.16.x?
I'm working through the issues that people have reported with the test version, but this bug with the base game is a blocker:
https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=56663
It's currently marked as 'not a bug', but surely killing the ...

These are welcomed changes! Although, increasing the base game artillery shell stack size to 20 seems a bit much, but I will go with it. Thanks for you dedication!
I wasn't going to make it that high, but I did it based on the amount of damage it does.
Tank shells stack to 100 and deal 200 damage ...

Probably the biggest single mod update I've done since 0.16 releases.

Logstics 0.16.4:
Fix that Robotics 3 and Advanced Robots 2 required a Production science pack instead of Logistic.
Fix that roboport was still unlockable by construction/logistic repotics when recipe was overwritten for modular ...

True. What we need now are "smart"-Splitters

Maybe that is where they are headed?

In 0.13 I added the artillery weapon to the tank. in 0.16 the base game added the artillery wagon/turret.

I've not really done any testing, but...
Is the ammo compatible between the two?
How do the weapons, and ammo compare?
Do I need to do some balancing?
Do I need to separate the two types of ...

As for fluid wagons, I like that vanilla has it down to 25k per wagon, it makes the logistics of the volume of fluid better. They were correct in that those trains rarely moved along the rail lines. As for your mk2 and mk3 Bob, I would make the mk2 1.5x and the mk3 2x. 37.5k and 50k seem reasonable ...

I do like the new vanilla fluid wagons, they balance the transport of fluids a lot better. Although, I do miss having multiple fluids in a single wagon for those unique deliveries. If anything, I vote to have the mkII and mkIII fluid wagons be 1.5x and 2x.

Bobingabout:

I love your mods. They add a great deal of complexity and playability that really enhance the vanilla game to where Factorio should be. The Electronics mod is my favorite, because it adds difficulty and a progression that is REALLY satisfying once you get to the next level (the next ...

Chemical Furnaces
Thank you for the steel version! Unlike the original furnace line, this one does not upgrade up the chain. The stone version is not in the recipe for the steel version, and the steel version in not in the recipe for the electrical version. The Electrical Chemical furnace upgrades ...

Bobingabout:

I have recently reached the end-game era of your mods for 0.15, and in my endeavor nearing this milestone, I have come across some "inconsistencies." I call them that because I do not know if you had any of them planned or were simply overlooked. I already mentioned the battery ...

Now here is where I see a problem: I have 1m iron ore in my logistics network and 100k logistic robots. Each requester chest requests 2 billion iron ore. So all 100k logistic robots are dispatched to fetch iron ore. But 600 logistic bots already fill the chest to completion, then 600 more fill the ...

RocketManChronicles: The huge negative number is to take advantage of overflow. I think this avoids a combinator for every pair of chests.[/quote]
Ok, that makes sense. I look forward to implementing this into my base.

As I was working through them this weekend, I noticed that the production times for the Lithium-Ion and the Silver-Zinc batteries are only 0.5 seconds and the Lead batteries are 5.0 seconds.
Because I once again forgot to fix this...
Oh, no worries. Just thought I would point it out in case you ...

I totally understand that. As I was working through them this weekend, I noticed that the production times for the Lithium-Ion and the Silver-Zinc batteries are only 0.5 seconds and the Lead batteries are 5.0 seconds. The Lead batteries are much easier to make with fewer ingredients and producing ...

Hey Bob, thanks for the great mod pack! Really enjoying them here in 0.15.*

Question about the batteries you have for the game. I am about to start the lithium-ion and immediately after, the silver-zinc batteries. I am looking at the recipes and trying to lay out how the items go together in a ...

Just curious what size trains everyone uses? Obviously, with bigger trains, they move slower and make signalling and intersections more difficult to control, but they can move massive quantities over long distances. Smaller trains are easier to signal and control, and are much faster.

So, does ...
