Sorry everyone haven't read more than half of the replies... apologies if this is a repeat. Twinsen, I sort of get where you are coming from, but your solution so far doesn't seem to fix the real problem. So it seems to me that the real problem is that belts and logibots are trying to fill the same ...

Having read through the first few pages of this here are my thoughts: Removing bots: please don't. You will prevent anyone who doesn't spend their life in-game from making >1k spm factories if you do this. I've seen some factories that do 1k spm or greater with belts, but the level of work involved ...

Merry Christmas everyone! Devs, enjoy your time off with your families. No need to rush out the next bugfix release. I'm excited that belt compression from sideloading is back, especially sideloading two yellow belts to make a red. I will echo everyone else to say that if you adjust fluid wagons you...

After a few tries generating maps here is some feedback: Stone in the starting area is VERY limited. So is coal on most of the maps I've tried. Coal seems to run out about the same time as iron if not before. Uranium seems too common, they removed it from the starting area but I see one uranium patc...

Regarding compression: The underground compression trick always felt kinda cheaty and unintiuative to me. But that said: IRL inserters are connected to timing systems so that they place onto belts *in a perfectly compressed way*. Now I suppose I could build that timing system with the circuit networ...

• Fixed that fast-replace building ghost underground belts and pipes wouldn't rotate the direction correctly.

Thank you! This was driving me nuts.

Most favorite: Military 2/grenades: much faster than chopping trees (grenade damage 3 is nice too, it only takes 1 grenade at that level) Construction bots Tank - the first unlock that makes killing biters fun Requester chests Atomic bomb Most annoying at the time: Oil - I know as soon as I set it u...

Artillery train with range of 500+ tiles! 0.16 next week! Thank you devs! I can't wait to see what else you've included in 0.16. Keep up the good work!

It appears Wood Pellets are technically the most efficient. But you need Coke and Carbon for other things anyway, so doing the whole chain seems the best solution. The last step getting you 20% back... 4 Wood Pellets (48 MJ) -> 1 Wood Block (NA) -> 3 Coal (24 MJ) -> 6 Crushed Coal (NA) -> 6 Coke (3...

which research queue mod have you installed so I can check the problem ? This one: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Doomquill/research-queue v1.5.1 (latest w/ no annoying popup) Reading the notes on the mod portal, this may be a problem with research queue though. If there is a version of research qu...

So I got a weird glitch today... I had been working on my seablock base for a while to build resources and I decided to add research queue to help with AFKing long techs. So I installed the mod, but forgot to enable it and when factorio came back up, it said "cannot find file '__base__/graphics...

Lav wrote:I would suggest to use the new concrete graphics as bricks.

New bricks graphics as cobblestone (smaller bonus but made from stone, not bricks).

And make a proper "flat featureless industrial grey" concrete with sharp (not blurred!) hazard painting.

I like this idea. +1

On the 3rd page before I got home from work... wow. I agree with most of the above posters, the new graphic is great but it looks more like stone brick than concrete to me. I think it also fits the factorio theme more than the new stone brick graphic. Concrete is flat and while it may have tiles, th...

Do you have any way for me to give you patches for stuff? Like a github repo for the source that I can make PRs on. I'm trying out different ideas locally right now for the factorium crystals. I also fixed the temperature of the steam coming out of the plastic forming plant's recipes (15C steam is u...

So I'm just wondering... what do I do with this full chest of 'Factorium Crystal (small)' that I have? I couldn't figure it out, so I went and got "What's it used for" and they aren't used for anything... Can you add a Kovarex-like process to turn them into medium ones so I can make the po...

We never said we would migrate the oil patch resource amounts, so in any case its not a bug

Ok, I guess I'll just fix it with a command... I don't really care about achievements on those old maps anyway.

What is stranger is that you can't tell from the logi network view or the circuit network if there are requests that can't be met at all. If there is no iron ore at all and a request for 50, then any view of the network will tell you there is 0, when I think it should say -50. So there is no differe...

I just got around to updating some of my old saves from .14 to .15 last week. All of my oil wells that were at 0.1 in 0.14 are now at 5%, which I think means that I'm getting even less oil than before :(. Plus it is below the minimum yield in 0.15 :evil:. And even the untapped oil to the south of my...

... It looks like everything is connected tightly with everything else so that you can not break it apart, but thats actually not true. If you want to come to a reasonable simulation, not a perfect one, everything that has a large enough buffer creates a propagation delay of every action that is bi...

The small and big poles I don't have a really strong opinion on although the new big pole looks *strange* for some reason (but I can't figure out why).

Also, I did like the slanted medium pole from v1. It really makes it unique and steampunk feel. I won't mind style over realism.

This.
