I think the feature is meant to allow people to stack stations "on top of each other", like for example 5 "Iron for Circuits" stations in parallel in your green curcuits factory. That way, a free one will be chosen when a train with iron arrives. However, it's not intended to be...

In other words the behaviour you were using was the unintended result of a bug that is now fixed. Atm the easiest way to force trains to repath is probably to disable the station, if there is a trian already unloading, and another train queued to unload. Another way is to not name the stations the ...

That I could test my assumptions using a poll. But you can't. This type of poll will always suffer from some type of selection bias. Most players will never visit the forum. Of those how do visit the forums, most won't read this thread, and won't be bothered to vote. Most of the players who do vote...

I have heard a lot of comments like “the community clearly feels...” or other variations of this based on content in these forums. It’s simply not a good indicator of the overall player base. That is all I’m saying. Unsubstantiated statements aren't the best way to counter unsubstantiated statements.

I have seen here and there mention of very positive UPS changes due to the optimisations in 0.16, but there seems to be no thread for this specifically (please delete this if there is one, I couldn't find one with a quick search). So please post your optimisation improvements on your massive factori...

There have been a few bugfixes on the train pathing through station subject, and maybe what you experience is a consequence of them : 16.0 : Fixed that train arriving to station could give astronomically big penalty causing trains to go through weird places. (54042) 16.3 : Train stop penalty is app...

You may not understand, your factory may be different, but I am telling you that with the current concrete without alteration it is unplayable for me. If you want to imagine that I am exaggerating for some reason that is your choice, but you could also imagine how it would feel if you couldn't play...

I must say I find the people (2 in particular) rudely trying to shout down this discussion to be in very bad taste. What is the problem with discussing it? Obviously, like yourselves, people have put many hours into their factories and would like some closure, if nothing else, on why their factorie...

I don't use it but the option would be nice, from what they said, it sounds like the devs think that the feature isn't worth the effort to maintain through several updates. Fluid Wagons were too large and too heavy. And Factorio is in alpha, if you cannot stand sweeping changes due to being an open...

If you are using an old game where you used a cheat to enable all tecj then it wouldnt be there since that tech didnt exist before.

Need more info

Hahaha that will be it! I am still stuck on researching some huge logistics robot speed or something!

Thanks!

I think people are being too melodramatic about it tbh. Yes, in huge slabs, concrete has looked better. I only used it for roads and edges, and it looks MUCH better now. I think theres room for improvement, the suggestion to make a third surface type which is just a flat plane could work. It could ...

I don't know f it is a bug, but when I open the craft menu, none of the new items are there. I want to make artillery damnit!

Am I missing something obvious?

If you have a saved game from before you installed the mods, then you should be able to uninstall the mods, and load that save game. Since it's never been loaded with mods, it's still an unmodded game. (Achievements are tracked independently between modded and unmodded games, so when you installed ...

So my factory uses the same name for all ore stations. Every iron ore station is called A: IRON etc. Before my iron ore trains would all be routed to A: IRON of which there are many. The trains would all find empty stations, ignoring the ones that were occupied. This no longer seems to be happening....

So I installed an old concrete mod - great I can see my factory properly again. The concrete doesn't work properly with water, but it still looks better than before (where it couldn't come within a few tiles of water). But all my achievements reset. Nearly 300 hours into the map and achievements gon...

Some people prefer the option for a plain type of floor as a backdrop to their spaghetti or other areas. While the new concrete is beautiful, there is now no option for a plain style flooring such as the old concrete. Please note discussion here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5...

Ok good idea

Maybe this will finally make people stop replacing the whole world with concrete, which honestly has always looked horrible, and start building roads instead. Finally? Have you been sweating about how much you disapprove of the way other people design their factories? You can see from the poll resu...

First of all Factorio is the baby of the staff, although we can give our opinion, because after all, it's a free world. First of all, we must understand and respect the choice and the decisions concerning the vision of the game and the universe that the developers want to produce. It's pretty much ...
