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 anyb...

One modification I would do is to have the steel offload onto 4 belts that then lead into the balancer rather than just the 2 belts you have shown here. That way, the station can keep up with the pull of 4 full belts of steel.

Why such a large negative number in the first constant combinator? Wouldn't you want this to total the maximum amount the chests can hold?

I have noticed that the number of assembling machines for each Science Pack is less than those I've calculated are needed to produce at 1 per second. Is this simply because you are using Tier 3 Assembling Machines and their Crafting Speed allows for fewer total machines? I see four red, five green, ...

Fact: Google sucks. Also, would Nabisco be suing us if we called it Factoreo?

We would need the ingredients of delicious chocolate cookies shipped in by train and the cream filling pumped through the pipes to "assemble" Oreos.

Can't see any disadvantages really. 1-1 trains will have same (that is maximum) number of inserters per car, will provide same belt throughput if unloaded separately, on different stations. One disadvantage is increased load for train system. You have to allocate path for 8 trains instead for examp...

the smaller trains always pass the larger ones on the 4-lane main line near the base. I just wish I could give the long trains lower preference at intersections to keep the faster ones moving as they carry the stuff to fight the biters! You could look into running them on their own network. Even wh...

As being a railroad fan, there is something to long trains, efficiency. the heavier trains should be long for fuel efficiency and in throughput (ore/sec or plates/sec). So, following real-world lessons learned, I sue long trains for the heavy stuff, and smaller trains for the goods (finished product...

Anything below size 10 causes "unstable simulation" conditions, Likewise when I tried to make "Gasses" by altering the values, you needed to run them through size 20 otherwise you'd have the same issues. Basically, the pipe needs to be tuned to the fluid, or vica verca, the smal...

I like what you guys are doing with the game. I would, however, be careful with making the map view too powerful. I prefer the gameplay of having to walk to locations to "work" on the factory, rather than sit still and manage in god-mode. Don't give us too many ease-of-life capabilities. I...

Ok, we activated all of the mods on the server and unchecked the autosort of the main inventory in the menus. We were able to play for a few hours without a single desync. Having to manually work with the inventory is a small price we are willing to pay for now in order to keep playing the game we l...

I will work with your suggestion tomorrow, thank you for the prompt responses guys! The owner of the server wanted to spend time with his gf until tomorrow night, go figure. :P He will help with activating the server again. So, I will keep you in touch. Also, I was just setting those blueprint books...

Here is the dsync from picking up a blue express belt after we removed the Bobs Inserters mod from the server and the clients. Mods folder included:

Bob's Inserters 0.14.3 There's a known issue when making blueprints of inserters with custom pickup/dropoff locations in 0.14. The desync is most likely related to that. The majority of these desyncs occur when I am placing an item down or picking it up, the last two (chronologically) are when I wa...

Hmmm... we have not used anything from that mod yet, maybe we can remove it.

WE can try that. What is surprising to us is that I am over 100 hours in and this just started happening.

Here is the zipped mods folder:

This is a private server which my friend owns and hosts. Only three of us play on this server, I have more hours than the other two combined. We have had no issues until we unlocked the Roboports and its Logistic Network. I have placed several Passive Provider Chests prior to this endless series of ...
