What I need is a way to tell the robots not to transport material to a storage across the map, but use the one right next to the source and the consumer. (Actually, I'd have expected this to be default behaviour.) Is there no way to accomplish this? Split the logistic network into smaller cells. I ...

Yeah, that's the issue. Copied ghosts (which I was doing, via cut/paste) don't auto rotate when placed. Probably a 'feature' but a usability issue if you ask me. If you look closely, you will see there's a graphic in between the railroad ties when the signal connects properly that's missing when th...

The consensus I seem to pick up is that pollution-induced attacks are something to be avoided? Whether by managing pollution or a biter eradication program, it looks like you don't like it when a nest comes under the cloud. The reasoning is simple. Would you rather: Continually have to spend resour...

I can't possibly reduce pollution so much as to avoid attacks altogether Oh, but actually you can . I launched a rocket without triggering any attacks at all (default setings): https://imgur.com/a/3IAegxs#eUL1TMd I also made some good headway into a deathworld run without fighting any biters: https...

My understanding is Pollution is deterministic, so you should be able to determine when and where pollution is hitting biter nests, and hence where you need to build defences. Biter behaviour should also be deterministic, but might be affected by a psuedo-random generator that varies between runs, ...

Thank you for the answer. This feature should be enabled by default in my opinion.

I think that having option on by default would cause confusion in new players and would even annoy veteran players which normally don't use the feature.

I'm not sure it's even possible to run a SINGLE landfill machine without it being starved at least some of the time (three independent blue belt stone feeds maybe?). It is possible. Here's a setup using speed modules and 7x speed beacons (video): https://giant.gfycat.com/SadIndelibleIsabellineshrik...

IMPORTANT: Have a setting to disable this feature if it's ever implemented.

We do not want a repeat of the mess "blueprint saving copper cables" feature has caused. If I don't want to deal with it I should have the option to turn these kind of features off.

About water flow speed: - Pipe have limit of 1.200 fluid / sec ( You can force it up to 1.714 Fluid / sec ) - Storage Tank have limit of 10.000 fluid / sec - Pump have limit of 12.000 fluid / sec - Boilers have limit of... probably 12.000 or more... ( maybe my testing method was wrong but i don't t...

What am I missing here? Is this a bug maybe? Beacons specifically have a rather large electric energy buffer compared to the amount of energy per tick they use. Specifically they have a buffer around 5x larger than they use per tick. Here you can see the impact of that energy buffer (look how the S...

Early tree deconstruction = Grenades

Early entity deconstruction = Also grenades

IMO the "Trees and rocks only" button should only be a shortcut which places generic "Trees" and "Rocks" entries into the filter. Switching on the toggle should make the filter "Trees" and "Rocks", but it should not disable the grid so the player can...

Factorio runs fine using Rosetta 2.

Which kinda makes it even less likely there will be a native version.

I have 25 steam engins with 5 boilers. 5 engins on each boiler. I can produce 95 MW. but they only produce 21 MW Why?

Not enough boilers. You need one boiler for every 2 steam engines (assuming vanilla Factorio).

I wonder if it would be possible to cut power to the silo when the rocket is at 100% and re-enable it once the stack size reaches 100.

They launch sequence proceeds even without power.

They have 864 degrees per second which would math out to be 25 ticks per rotation, however in game it comes out to 26 ticks, I assume due to requiring inserters to take the same time to go back and forth. When picking from a chest, the inserter will make two motions of 180 degrees each. With rotati...

But when doing this at some point you have to open the signal to allow the train to actually come through. Just open the signal when a signal in front of it turns yellow, like so (video): https://giant.gfycat.com/YellowishLightDowitcher.webm The signal is closed all the time until a train reserves ...
