it is possible to build an artillery gun for which ammunition has never existed, and the knowledge of ammunition has never existed. um...what? I researched and built only items required to build the rocket. having achieved that, I thought I'd add artillery and check it out. once completed I had an a...

I built a two-headed train on a brand new track. The 10-rail placement system fought me several times, I couldn't seem to cancel it without changing the active item in my inventory. The double-headed train seemed to confuse the rail signal system - it would only let me place signals on one side of t...

I don't have a soft suction cup to grab a flat sheet (yet), but I do have a suction nozzle and air pump.

Opening a beer is on the way still. Rotating the wrist around an arbitrary point in space is hard to explain to a machine.

https://instagram.com/p/7JZ-vAofH0/ I'm a lot closer now. The beer is still on the way. I have the new recipe: the brain is actually one blue PCB, one purple PCB, three white, and two green. Soon I should have all the electronics off the table, safely stored on the back of the arm. A friend is curre...

I was going to try to open and pour a beer. I could do a metal plate.

@xterminator - I'll do that for sure. I want to show it doing something useful.

https://instagram.com/p/6yzLU6IfNx I've got computer controlled movement on 5 axies now, and enough lifting power to pull the robot off the table. Maybe it could drag itself from place to place? I want to say thank you to Factorio for the experience. I recently designed my first PCB and for every wi...

Dave - I think the idea is to set up quicker. copy all the settings, then remove the few you don't need. still less back and forth than the current method.

Someone on reddit suggested this should also work for green inserters.

I notice right now if I copy from a grey factory to a blue or vice versa it screws up the instruction, even if the instruction should be valid.

Think rainbow.
Lowest speed > highest speed machines: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. six levels of faster!

When I copy from a factory and paste to a requester chest I'd like to have the factory's demands (what it needs to make thing X) copied into the chest's logistics demands.
Right now i have to open and close windows four or five times to switch between them and confirm I've got things right.

Symptom:

I copy from a blue factory to a grey or vice versa and get the paste is incorrect.
Green science from a blue becomes copper wire in a grey, and vice versa. Maybe it's pasting the last thing pasted to the same color factory? Not sure.

Severity: Low

Five tiers of rocket defense, not one artillery weapon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S94ohyErSw Please may I have a space elevator as the game winning construction project? It would be the ultimate wonder of the world. I have yet to see any game produce one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_el...

Tanks open a whole can of worms. Once I can put two belts on a motor and start driving around the first thing I want is to make it modular. I want to change the head for a machine gun or laser turret. I want to change the head to a long-arm inserter and program the movement, try to build a von Neuma...
