Hello, is there a possibility of some new robo modules, for example interface that can add liquid value in a tank to a logistic network? (is it even possible to add such thing to a loginet?)

Roboport is too large (4x4 with some combinators near would be atleast 5x5 which makes it not very usable at factories. Yep i can wire from afar, but thats the whole point of the suggestion - not needing to wire from some distant location. And the most important - its ALREADY in game, but for some r...

So now we can use interface of the inserter, lamp, pump and power switch (maybe something else) to "connect to logistic network" (by some radio connection, it seems, as there is only need for them to be in roboport loginet radius). But combinators dont have this option, which seems a littl...

"I'd like the design, which led to a success of the game, removed"
Not going to happen.
Maybe some1 will make a mod for this.

Well if you think that its so important to have them spread (in my opinion thats overengineering) then just use provider chests, robots can grab from them easy. Make a train or belt them near the edges so it will supply them. From my experience, using provider chests with requesters to get repair p...

Place 10 requsters requesting wood.
Wait them to fill up, shoot them.
Dirty but it works.

I think that it is quite unrealistic that animal species would mutate to thousand times larger in couple of days if they just smell a little bit of industrial smoke. Think of them as ants. Some species of ants are capable of regulating what type of ant (soldier\worker\etc) will develop from a lavra...

Ya, I mostly agree with that, though, the game does try and stay pretty close to accurate. We still have plastic, sulfuric acid, hydrocarbons, ect :D...well, and a portable MR fusion, but BESIDES that :D Sure i will prefer that too (using normal names rather than some fantasy), Just used it as an a...

Hello. Pictures are worth a thousand words. In short, the condition on the inserter is logi-bots > 0 , there are 977 in the network with 350 being in the adjacent roboport. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12952897/Factorio/lognet-robots.png Because there is NO robots in a LOGISTIC network (logi...

A really easy solution I found for this problem is to just set up a requester chest for repair packs and put it with an inserter next to every roboport that way all roboports stay full all the time. You see, that's the problem. Now that repair kits stack to 100, all my roboports are gonna be filled...

I would like to explain (once more) that it does not matter how element will be called. Swapping uranium for thorium (and vice versa) will not change anything for the game as the complexity of the process\power output\how rare is the element etc. will be corrected to fit the game and its balance. Ev...

So the speeded up with 3 SM3 beacons + 2 speed modules (im using speed modules for the "worst case scenario" instead of productivity) is +175% crafting speed bonus, that is 5.5. Recipe for iron plate is 3.5 seconds, so 0,6 seconds per plate (lets use 0,5 for some emergency capacity). 10 ir...

I like this mod alot, specially diesel generator part. Making backup electricity using it feels so good (probably because thats what we use in real life for emergency). Didnt like the oil burner though, mostly because there is no advanced steam engines with more output and its like new but like not ...

This discussion is very active, and we both are editting our posts simultaneosly, so it is quite hard to understand what we are talking about. I will come back to this thread tomorrow with the fresh mind and new ideas (also it is a deep night here). Well if you say that this solution can work here ...

Substations form 1 grid for furnaces and beacons, wooden poles form another for inserters only. (yes the right inserters are powered from substation too, but it doesnt matter as if power drops there the wooden pole power kicks in and fills the gap, atleast it should). Wow, you misunderstood what I ...

So if im thinking of this design right way it will be only 4 tiles wider, thats not a big problem at all (10 vs 14 tiles). (its even less as substations can be used for 2 rows at the same time). Strange numbers, why 10? and why 14? Optimal layout is 6, and new will have 9.5. Some pics? Just thought...

use buffer chest between belt and furnace and checking its content (and letting the furnace catch up if needed)? Additional chest... Yes, this is the latest stable solution. But in previous attempt I wanted to use direct loading from belt, so it should have been more compact. Ah sorry didnt see the...

use buffer chest between belt and furnace and checking its content (and letting the furnace catch up if needed)?
Ah sorry didnt see the gif file, power shortage will not allow inserters to grab fast enough from this kind of belt.

maybe its possible to move structures around and provide this grid only to inserters/combinators then?
Sadly blueprints dont preserve wire connections, so even if its possible that is going to be long time setting this up... Again bad.
