i agree that long trains are much more better than short trains, especially using nuclear fuel. the only downside is the bigger footprint. my suggestion is to place rail between (through) your base. now the offloading length is as long as your base. Was wondering if there were any good bases that we...

Remember back in the days, fluid amounts were 10 times smaller, but were decimals. 100% richness was equal to 1/s.

oh yeah, they change the unit to solve rounding error issues with circuit thingy. i guess now +1 reason to abolish this ancient thing.

Example, instead of showing 80% oil patch, show 8 oil/s . This applies to tooltip and map view (total oil patch). Dont really know why using % in the first place. Percentage usually compare to something that is 100%. Eg: A discount of 20% means compare the reduction to 100% original price. In this c...

i know that, not doing that. thanks anyway.

The data is available. Press L, goto member (second tab).


Edit: oops , din see that u wanna connect to circuit. Ignore this comment.

A workaround is set filter in hotbar.

Pipette doesnt interact with craft menu. Press Q basically interact with entities behind the menu, if there exist one. Changing this is big project, isnt likely to happen.

seems like u are using lasers. they eat alot of power. i would suggest use a mixture of gun, laser turrets. also flamethrower turrets if you have oil to spare.

There is a mod or two that has you mining clumps, that then get processed into some quantity of ore each. That’s not new. i would like to check out the mod. however, if its part of some big overhaul mods then im not interested. as for "interesting part" you are right 3x3 can be interestin...

Copy paste includes circuit wire. But fog is annoying though.

copy paste is fine for the subsequent copies but the first one would be nice to click drag.

Devil's advocate: clumsy user might accidentally connect unintended entities in concentrated areas.

i like the idea that humongous miners comes with other logistic challenge to overcome. look at turrets: tier 1: gun, require items (magazines) tier 2: laser, require power tier 3: flamethrower, require fluids, has minimum range. miners: tier 1: burner, require items (fuel) tier 2: electric, require ...

same size bigger radius, no. ocd me would just clump them together, nothing change.
what i want is bigger size, like Omega Drill

edit: seems like i misunderstood the title: not mining radius, but miner's radius (i.e. size) ._.

decrease construction bot consumption seems like an easier solution.

edit: my grammar

i think infinite bot battery should be given to construction bots only. currently logistic-bot are so overpowered compare to belts. if battery research are given to logistic-bot (which i already dislike the idea) , it should be at most one level of research. otherwise 1. blueprint incompatible , 2. ...

My guess, currently it counts how many of each item is produced x minutes ago, and divide by x. Bigger x for bigger timescale and vice versa.

From math perspective, I wonder how to implement smoothing, probably need convolution with bell curve, and therefore cost ups. Its not that easy.

Yes. See previous discussion. viewtopic.php?p=536124#p536124.

I wouldn't call that a concrete example. What would you replace with what? https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=536085#p536085 When designing this i frequently need to swap between vanilla entity with CM variant, for stress testing and checking bottleneck.

Just so you know, the autotorio website exists. only works for vanilla. Why? I can't think about any situation where it would be useful to replace entity to a totally unrelated entity.... Upgrade planner already allows to replace anything belonging to the same fast-replace group. If the mod doesn't...
