Hi guys, for keyboard shortcuts, what is "Pad +" and "Pad -" to increase or decrease the size when laying a concrete path? Numpad is the calculator-like block of numbers on the right side of the keyboard. Personally i remapped to normal +/- though. ^^ Thank you, was really start...

The survey is a good exercise. It showed me how difficult it is to choose the correct word for something. To me, moving something already built (constructed, crafted) from my inventory to where it forms part of the factory (outpost, base) is placing. But the manufacture has already been done either ...

Looks pretty clean to me.

There was a Recursive Blueprints mod in Aug 2017. That might be what you want if it has been updated from 0.15. Why is it every time I list my issue or state an idea people always give me the exact same answer even though it does nothing to resolve my problem!? Sorry for ranting there it's just you...

Do you want to keep a limited amount of some items on the train? I am thinking of 10 roboports, 10 chemical plants, 10 refinerys, a 5 locomotives, 10 cargo wagons, and 10 stations. You could put all of them in one chest with the inserter set to stack size one. It should not slow your load down much ...

Here is a tutorial image on rail signals https://imgur.com/a/zG13U#0 The yellow, red and blue lines are designed to help you debug the signals. They show you how big the block is. If you have a specific question about one of your tracks, post a picture and your question and several of us will try to...

I have been watching those tutorials. Some questions remain: - I don't have a portable reactor yet,so I can only carry a few construction robots with me. Seems that I can plop a regular roboport plus a passive chest with construction materials and the construction robots will use those (plus have l...

Controlling robot behavior is like herding cats. If you are just placing the blueprints to plan, then when you have enough of the base planned you can clear the ghosts. Mark the map with an icon to show what goes there (or use pen and paper). Then modify the deconstruction planner to only remove gho...

Make a service spur that only connects to the main track at one place. Then use a double ended construction train. Unless you have a very big mall you would only need one station on the spur and then pick up supplies manually. (You can have track going all the way along the bus and manually stop whe...

Has there been any !!Science!! done on steam temperature mixing? For example, if you mix nuclear steam (500) with coal steam (165) are there any inefficiencies or rounding issues that will change the total energy value? I'm pretty sure those are different fluids that do not mix at all. You get one ...

I think if I played two games at the same time I would get confused. "Where is my blue science? I know I built it!....OOPS, it's in the other game." I always like playing with as little biters as possible. My last game was set to few bases, peaceful, no expansion and evolution only affecte...

What are those red arrows on the track? It looks like they say the train in the third stacker from the top wants to go through the blocked train. That would only leave the blocked train one way to go, the way it chose. I think I see a chain signal at the top of the stacker that should be moved a few...

The Wiki has a console command that kills all biters and bases. https://wiki.factorio.com/Console#Kill_all_enemies More information on how to use the console is at the top of that page. Using this console command disables achievements, but I do not think you need to worry about that for the tutorial...

Do you have enough sulfur and plastic? If so, you do not need to do anything. If you do not have enough sulfur, put productivity modules in the left sulfur plants and maybe a speed module or a beacon. If you do not have enough plastic, put the modules in the left sulfur plants and turn off the right...

I did not look at the circuits because I am not good at them. I did calculate the petroleum numbers. You are making 103 petroleum gas per second. The left column has two sulfur plants with three speed 1 modules each. They try to consume 120 petroleum per second. There are also two plants with no mod...

The refinery set up looks good. But I do see a problem with the consumption of petroleum gas. The way the consumption is set up you could be using 140 petroleum per second on the right and 90 on the left. But you have a full half belt of plastic bars so the four chemical plants making plastic bars a...

A full yellow belt requires 234 stone furnaces or 117 electric or steel furnaces. Red and blue require more. Data from here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1wIexilsTFKRbMIWc1MOY5XaAOPwNEU0AGMbSTAwqa3Q/edit#slide=id.g186b5128a7_0_41 But I do not understand how an odd number of steel furnaces ...

Solitaire is strong in the puzzle-solving aspect. Factorio is also very strong in that aspect if you have difficult terrain or you are designing/building yourself. It is weak in this aspect if you copy-paste some string with large parts of a factory. I forgot to mention that using blueprints from t...
