The part shown seems to be correct. Red/Green signals are not relevant for finding a pathanyways. As far as I can tell the problem must lay further down the track or at the target station.

I must say I love the new quickbar. I define once my refinery sbuilding quickbar, my defense building quickbar, m assembler building quickbar, my rail building quickbar etc. and then I got them and no longer have to constantly fiddle around with my quickbar setup whenever I change what I am doing an...

Ah, yes it's a bit confusing but it works. Thanks!

Is there a way to copy inventory filter settings within one inventory? Now I don't mean to copy the entire filter from one entity to another, what I am talking about is that I am setting the filters on my train cars to only accept the items they shall be carrying. And it is pretty tiring to go "...

It's on a per-base basis.
So not "have you ever launched a rocket?" but "have you launched a rocket this game already?".
And the default is that research queue gets activated once you have launched a rocket, you switch it so that the queue is there from the start.

"Enough" in ths case remains to mor eproduction than consumption. However this automatically means that you don't have enough consumption.

I just build everything in the newest belts I have. Sure it may be unnecessarily expensive, but it's factorio - if costs are an issue it just means that you need to up your production capabilities anyways.

I fail to see the point.

Honestly I don't care much about the research queue, I've always seen it as rather small on the nice-to-have-list and if it disconnects you from your tech in play it's indeed probably better to just cut it out.

Somehow I seem to have missed LaRones comment seems we both are talking about the same idea. Sorry for that. The way I'd do it is an extention of what you are already doing. When the signal comes that triggers the alarm you also activate a dummy station, named exactly like the mine stations, and put...

Make a fallback station. An empty station that goes active if no other mine stations for that given ore are active. It collects your orphaned trains, keeps them fueld and off the main network. Give it a direct rail from unloading to there without intercepting the main line and back. Disadvantage is ...

The game ends when my itch has been scratched for another year.

I remember a multyplayer game with a friend where we were purely waiting for research to get the third science pack (before science rework) and were constantly adding more and more labs. (Flasks are backing up, more labs! Gears are not enough, more! Assembler can't keep up with flask production, mor...

As far as I know the train destination is decided upon the train leaving it's previous station and not updated while on route. So if the first train is on the way to the mining outpost while the second train already leaves they both would head to the same station (as that one is at that time unoccup...

ColonelSandersLite wrote:I found the tutorial problem you mention to be poor specifically because it does not give you enough chain signals to properly signal the whole junction.

Ehm, just replacing the 6 inner signals with chains gives a perfectly signalled junction.

Example A: Signals are directionwise right of the tracks, so this signal starts out red because it sees the bottom cyan train ahead of it, but only trains coming from the intersection would pay it any mind. The cyan train looks to it's right and sees a green full signal so it keeps going. (Btw. Havi...

The additional configuration for splitters could be unlocked via a laegame tech (just remove the GUI elements if you don't have the tech). After all it's just a software update. And following up on GotLag his idea may then be the second tier software-update for splitters. [quote="GotLag"]I...

We crashlanded on their planet and instead of providing emergency aid they immediatley try to kill us on sight. Through their unwarranted aggression we are forced to buld up an industrial base to ensure our own survival. We are just acting in self defense.
You can always look at it from this side.

Wait you already got that? Make that stuff available for us! (Rail segment colors) I don't need it anymore, but that would probably help so much for new players... I guess whenever someone now asks about a problem with rails I can just recommend him to turn on this debug view (gotta check the name) ...

Kill the biters. At the point in the game you are at they are irrelevant anyways. Unless you want some achievements just cheat all the biter and their nests dead. Should give you quite a bit of UPS buffer.
