... 2. Factorio hates roundabouts because of path recalculation bugs. Is that a fact? I tend to stick with roundabouts by virtue of a "why not?" mentallity, unless I specifically want to deny the trains the option, but I've never noticed/encountered any particular bugs. But this is a defi...

I found a way to add a (big) penalty to a path : https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=40067 For me, it does not work depending on a the count of green signals on both paths (don't ask me why, I don't understand it. More green signals on both routes seem to make the path recalculati...

For me as player mods, maps and blueprints don't have much differences, the're nothing else than an extension of the game and I would like to search and download them in a similar way than currently with the mods. There is one major difference: Mods are created out-of-game, by writing code, and are...

Some other thought on this after playing a bit with circuits trying to compact and speed up calculations: Finding out the value of a single signal, where the type of the signal is chosen by another signal would be much easier, if one could just multiply all signal values with their corresponding sel...

(It is even visible on the movie - combinators blink only when input signal is updated) We might be talking about different designs. ;) The movie shows ">" and "<" combinators; the image in the linked post (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=94729#p94729) shows "=&...

https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=94729#p94729 Today I rewatched my previous memory cell, and I found that it is also complex and not optimal. Update: if ["0" signal = 1] it remembers input value if ["0" signal > 1] it clears the stored value So, you can use it only wit...

Probably it is possible to make single value cell with 1 combinator, We could declare my ">" combinator or your "=" combinator as absurd input requirement instead as part of the memory cell, since it doesn't take part in the recursion itself, one could remove it after the memory...

Just want to add, that multi value cell you can also make with 2 combinators: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=94729#p94729 Looks interesting. I wasn't able to actually trick yours into storing the wrong value, even when providing data at 1-tick intervals. I hope i didn't do a mistake wh...

And another small suggestion not yet in Circuit network features for 0.14 : Backstory: Situation: I have a (mod-provided) warehouse, behaving like a chest with many many items. I'd like to use grabbers to remove excess items, using more than x slots. Currently I calculate "EACH - 40k if > 0, el...

Very useful mod, but ít (v1.0.7) did behave a bit unexpected when connecting both red an greeen wire, only showing the data from the red (or the newer?) wire; i'd expect it to add both values, as the other combinators do.

It was hard to imagine in head, how this is locking. As I understand it, you use a station to turn a train into the right direction? I use a single two-way track with a loop at the end (so no stopping while turning around!) with exactly one two-way exit; no signals except two at the exit to the jun...

Since the wiki does not provide a lot of information on memory, here two working examples only requiring the input data for one tick: Single value cell: Saves a single value. The left combinators provide input values from a belt generating testing data: One data value D/Q of type Y , and an enabler ...

Well, I think for such cases you should be able to build "slowdown signals". They could be the same signals in https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=21899 - the signals that add points to the pathfinder. I don't think using Slowdown as the only penalty measure is the comple...

I change the topic cause the pre-signals in Factorio are chain-signals . ;) I think cause of that you didn't found the former discussion: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=28018 Make Chain Signal connectable to circuit network Maybe change the "Pre-signals: search.php?keyword...

I didn't see it in Circuit network features for 0.14 or find it on the search, i hope i didn't miss it: I'm a bit of a safe rail crossing fanatic: I want to be able to run over a rail junction without getting run over. ^^ Normal signals already output their status; presignals currently don't seem to...

Factorio probably should implement similar for the train collision box, as an extra incentive not to put track tight together like that- even though it lets you, there really isn't any good reason to I think. I don't need it that much since a few weeks, but in early factories I didn't leave much sp...

Changes with respect to the orientation of the vehicle. Something related: Maybe the (previous -- if standing still --) driving direction is more useful. On the back end of a two-directional train I am always driving "backwards", but when inside a waggon, it's not that easy to see if the ...

I hope that never happens in reality... I will certainly stop laying rails that near if factorio makes the train collision boxes wider than the rails themselves, or adds air suction caused train crashes. =D

This unexpected behavior can also be useful , but it might be better to include a configurable output in the dialog (if red, send iron, if yellow, send copper, if green, send steel and if safely closed, send steel ). That way it wouldn't break existing creations relying on this behaviour, and the pl...
