?? say what now.. dont boilers just heat the water.. and that in turn is pulled into the engines as they evaporate it.. doesn't multiple boiler arrays feeding a single pipe just cause the pipes water supply to be hot and draw in more hot liquid if drained? =( so im guessing the pumps that feed the b...

i dont think this is the place for experiments.. but i tried to make a logistic power-plant using the mechanic.. =P iv wasted allot of space tho.. http://screenshooter.net/101388456/pgjrurg https://screenshooter.blob.core.windows.net/engine4files/oazzmhwzltptfqpsklawrjqcjqigxkxtdxqdedsvmwshvkmoyxrgd...

Well, this is probably the most compact design possible, but the benefit is questionable. There is enough space to put conventional inserter-belt-inserter thing in place of a red inserter looks like its not so useful to do anymore then 1 boiler jump.. as you have enough room as you say for another ...

@dark:It's feasible that the inserter could take the stack right before the last piece finishes burning. lol yeah.. you got me.. i wonder what the delay of a fast inserter is.. and if the engines temp and thus power would dip.. only way to know for sure is to test it with max stacks and look at pow...

True it has some problems.. I don't think it taking fuel is a problem as it takes fuel when its still burning the last piece.. this puts all the engines in some kind of sync where none ever slow as they all top up during a last piece burn.. at-least iv never seen any issues.. might need more testing...

this may help.. boilers can feed boilers.. using inserters key: ^^ = conveyor belt > = inserter [] = boiler {} = pipe . = nothing example: {}..{}.{}.....{}.{}..{} []<[]<[]<...>[]>[]>[] []<[]<[]<^^>[]>[]>[] []<[]<[]<^^>[]>[]>[] {}..{}.{}.^^.{}..{}.{} ~ this allows much more compact power-plants

added to tips and tricks.. consider thread obsolete

Great work there are people who actually really do appreciate your efforts. After all they have allot of fun thanks to the hard work you put into this game. i got my friends into the game and they got their friends into it.. so many stories of joy.

tips and tricks.. you may already know all these.. feel free to add. 1. a trick.. you can fuel a boiler from another boiler.. ie. inserters can feed from one boiler into another key: ^^ = conveyor belt > = inserter [] = boiler {} = pipe . = nothing example: {}..{}.{}.....{}.{}..{} []<[]<[]<...>[]>[]...

manually spamming millions of logistic/construction robots while running by left clicking with a stack on the ground can cause dysync ie. happened to me several times.. maybe a coincidence..

so if using stack size bonus it is fastest to use long inserters.. ok but how they grab from 1 space away? would this work? {train> long ins (v) long ins (v) logistics chest logistics chest i thought long ins work like this : >-x-> and thus the pickup is not landing on the train? >|train|x-> ima hav...

shift + right click = nothing.. shift + left click crafts all.. idea: shift + right click creates half of the amount shift + left click does... so.. if shift + left click = +60 pipes shift + right click = +30 pipes that way i can cancel crafting +60 pipes.. then create 1/2 of that (+30 pipes) with s...
