How could I make inserters grab items from a chest only after there's a set amount? For example I only want my inserter to grab u235 from the storage chest after there's at least 50 in there. Run a red or green wire from the inserter to the chest. Then you can set a condition to activate the insert...

There are a couple of mods that claim to do it:

I wonder if the problem would go away if the player had three armor slots, and a hotkey to swap them - just like weapons. That way you wouldn't be manually switching armor all the time in the first place.

I like this idea!

It should also be borne in mind that a lot of people get a bit obsessive about getting all the achievements.

It seems like it would be quite annoying to have an achievement that amounts to "Leave the game running without playing it for an hour."

Dude, take your finger off that mod button and let people talk about things before you go sorting every thread into oblivion.

Presumably your pump will say something akin to

насос для водяной скважины

when it's landfilled in, and

морской насос

when it's not.

Hover over one of those pumps and see what it says it is now.

You're hovering over a pipe, not a pump.

Now if the IDF comes out with a giant remote-controlled spider-shaped vehicle, I think you might have a case.

I'm fairly sure I've had this happen in unmodded vanilla too. I think it's just how Spidertrons, inventory, and construction bots work right now: If the Spidertron's inventory is full, the Spidertron's deployed construction bots freeze until there's room again. Is it a bug? Not if it's what the deve...

The most obvious manifestation happens if I'm out in the boonies with a company of spider-trons, kicking thorax and taking names. If construction bots run out of spider-trunk/boot storage, they just get stuck there holding their items. They never give up and resume their slow drift towards the near...

That is how I've started to work on my own version of IR which is IR1 + IR2 + some minor tweaks. Note this from the license: NoDerivatives — If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you may not distribute the modified material. According to the license, you can do this for your own pers...

I feel pretty sure that, in a game about automation, anything that makes hand-crafting more convenient is unlikely to happen.

Thing is, I haven't heard this guy ask for help figuring out how to buy the game.

He's only looking for someone to buy it for him.

I mean, gifting a copy to someone is a good way to throw money at Wube.
Especially, if the one can't legally get a copy

I'm sure there are plenty of ways to throw money at Wube (e.g. the "Merch" link) that don't also reward software theft.

As far as I know, there are several valid ways to pay for Factorio: Pay on factorio.com with a credit card (goes through Humble Bundle and Stripe) Pay on factorio.com with Paypal Buy on Steam Buy on GOG.com The first two options also get you a Steam key. angelgandica, have you investigated all four ...

Isn't there some console command to instantly create an amount of something?

If so, all the OP has to do is generate 5 rubber wood.

From there he can use IR2's forestry to generate any amount of rubber wood.

The console command would disable achievements, but so do mods, don't they?

I mean...it's not like he promised otherwise. He gave a list of mods it is compatible with. If you choose to go outside that list, obviously there aren't any guarantees.

Have you considered asking Steam to increase the amount of space you have to store saved games in the cloud?

Except that straight rails and curved rails are distinct, as you'll find if you try to remove just "rails" with a deconstruction planner. If you don't add both types to your deconstruction planner, you won't be removing both.
