I don't understand what you mean when you say "design"?

Oh yeah, the video broke down and I had to reload there, already forgot.

I automated light armor, just for shits and giggles. Everything was fine until I had to relocate it and forgot to limit the chest..

Oh, hmmm, good to know. That kind of renders my argumentation moot. And makes this whole thing a lot less interesting. Crap.

I actually feel like there is quite the significant choice to be made with when to kill bases. Killing spawners will boost the evolution factor sharply, but keeping them around to absorb pollution will over time also slowly grow the evolution factor and send alien waves, which consumes resources to ...

How often would you realisticly use such a belt piece? 10 times in a 1 rocket a minute base? And it's already possible to do by using 1-6 additional tiles. The additional clutter introduced would outweigh the benefits imo.

A shorthand for both biters and spitters. The B comes from the Biters, the tt from the spitters and the rest is what both have in common.

Out of curiosity, in which cases would you want to mix steam and water? For the preheating thing it would also be possible to allow heat exchangers to allow water or steam. Also the same thing in different shapes beeing different items has well established precedents if factorio, see copper and copp...

Boilers were changed heavily in .15. They take water input on their 2 width side and output steam on 1 of their 3 width sides. 1 boiler can run 2 steam engines.

A few, mostly in cases were I now insert undergound pairs just so I have a way to move through.

Can you explain in words what the goal idea what he circuit should achieve in total? Also how does it not work? What part of it is not balanced? So far I see that inputs are grabbing sequentially from the same belt which may cause the first to grab more and more often than the latter ones and simila...

You could use active provider + storage chests, however that is very limiting and error-prone as you mustn't use the trash slots while in the specific logistics network and if you move more than one item type the danger of a chest filling up with only one type exists.

That hole tesselable-thing, do you mean "tileable"?

Wooden Boxes can too.

And for the whole setup: 3 Pumps, 60 Boiler, 120 Steam engines, 52 coal miners

@ pieppiep What is the goal? Just create as much petroleum as possible or also partly light and heavy oil? :geek: Back to topic. As many have said it depends on the person and their experience and their current mood. I've just designed a green circuit factory template with pretty good ratios until t...

It is the 5th level when playing in one go, but when starting from the menu the other 4 levels are group in 2 pairs as one level. So when so select to play level 3 you ingame get greeted with a friendly "level 5 ". This post made me actually do the campaign so I could better judge the achi...

-Deleted, I must have had a brain out.-

there needs to be a resource that you can obtain in small amounts without fighting biters but large amounts if you do choose to deal with them obtaining them without fighting should be really inefficient requiring: far more resources than just shooting nests or whatever they drop from much much mor...

There is not really a need for even 2 colors, however I too would like a few more colors, just so I can more easily distinguish / kep track of which networks have to be seperated and which are on the same hierarchy of the computation and stuff like that.
