Re: your thoughts on menu simulation

I like them but as many said before:

Too short. Should be longer.
Transitions between simulation are instant. Should be smoother or maybe they should not change at all.

Re: Destination full?

Check the next station. Has it been set to allow a maximum of trains?

Re: [1.1.2 mac] Train Limits - scheduling FROM nearest station

I have more trains than I need. But the stacker in front of the smelter can handle more trains than I need at the moment. And the penaltys to routeing that are imposed by waiting trains + a few custom circuitrys gives me a nice trade-off between how far trains travel and how full my stations are. Bu...

Re: [1.1.2 mac] Train Limits - scheduling FROM nearest station

As far as I know trains do not wait for each other to make their routing decisions so this could be hard to implement and you should avoid this scenario anyway in my opinion. There should always be more slots at your smelters than you have trains running and if your mines are all closed because they...

Re: Delay combinator

That's the one thing I experienced too but he is talking about a 3600 tick delay.
Clearly that's something different

Emergency power supply

Do you want to guard your combinator setups against deep brownouts? This power storage does not work like your usual batteries. It only activates when your power supply is so low that combinators stop updating. After that it tries to give only as much energy away as is needed for keeping you above t...

Re: Logical requests delayed

I'm entirely prepared to accept that I'm going to run into hardware and software limitations. I think though that the issue I'm running into here is a software issue rather than a hardware issue, because it started being an issue before I even started dipping below 60 UPS (still get 60 UPS when not...

Re: dragon's teeth no longer working

A year ago they changed biters so they don't collide with each other when attacking. I thought that change made dragon's teeth ineffective. But that doesn't explain why they should ignore the turrets and attack the wall. Can you post a screenshot? See https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-316 - Search ...

Re: Compact 4.8 GW Nuclear Reactor

Oh! My reactors blueprint says V1.1 - the newest one is V1.4
I didn't update the control systems on my nuclear reactor :shock:

Nope. Don't change anything.

First: I will try to remove dependence on the logistic system working accurately. Instead I will try to control the inserters that feed the reactors di...

Re: The pulse function on inserters (+belts?) is inconsistent (under low power) and a noob trap.

I still see no solution that has a chance to be used by the devs. The only one I could see happening would be to make combinators work without electricity at all. Sounds strange at first but belts move to without being powered and nobody cares... They could be redisigned to look like steam punk mach...

Re: The pulse function on inserters (+belts?) is inconsistent (under low power) and a noob trap.

I guess I'm a little bit late but still I want to contribute my findings. After finishing my test setup to detect this I commanded my Lisp Wizard(TM) 4.8 GW Nuclear Reactor to shut down half of its reactors and waited what would happen. Shockingly the Blue Screen warning came not at 50% as boskid pr...

It detects when your combinators begin to stop responding - it's more a hanging than a crashing but I wanted to be dramatic

Re: Logical requests delayed

I don't know the root problem.
Probably to much logistic requests but I don't know the limits there - I'm a belt base guy.

But one suggestion: Do switch to active providers.

Passive providers are the last thing on the list when a robot chooses where to pick up stuff.
