Fuel is U235 starved so reclamation won't actually give you more fuel cells to work with. As a technology it simply is nowhere on par with Kovarex. Not on par with Kovarex, but it's not on par with Kovarex on the research difficulty either. And as you've calculated yourself, when combined with Kova...

You can perfectly rename a station from afar actually.

Apart from that, my sincere +1.

I think this belongs to the "mods" domain. I don't feel a "teleport eldricht techno-magic" thing has its place in the Vanilla Factorio (even though the idea is neat by itself). But Factorio does need some eldritch techno-magic. It's supposed to be in the future, and the entire t...

I've said something similar, but I was talking about adding an impact crater to the start area, and a using the impact to justify a start area that was mostly clear of trees (with perhaps some burnt trees still standing, and the normal scatter of logs). The impact crater could also provides a suita...

What I would suggest is to be able to select specific recipies in smelters since a smelter will happily pick up anything (e.g. iron plates) and try to smelt it. On mixed belts they may become stuck often when not using dedicated filter inserters. That would be nice for electric furnaces. There are ...

TL;DR New logistic application for rockets: beaming (Star Trek style). What ? Suggestion is to introduce a new satellite type - beaming satellite - and two chests to go with it (beaming requester and beaming provider chests). Once launched into orbit, the beaming satellite is capable of beaming a c...

TL;DR Reorder the science pack tiers to match the order in which they're obtained during normal gameplay. What ? At present moment, military science packs become accessible long before production and blue science. However the game considers the military science "tier" to be above not just...

Nice. Counter-suggestion: remove the resource "pecking order" entirely and just assign each resource patch a random weight. What patch swallows up other patch would depend on their relative weights and distance from the patch center tile. This will result in greater variability (iron won't...

So, to summarize: *) You store a number of different resources at the station. *) You have trains coming each carrying one of those resources. *) You want the train to unload only if it carries a resource your station accepts, and your station's storage of that particular resource is less than some ...

You could also use loaders, they take 2 tiles and two loaders (one unloading, another loading) fit nicely into a standard 4-tile wide gap between parallel tracks.

Very much +1.

Though if there was an option to switch between items/second and items/minute that would be even better.

Nifty! I should have thought about counting them on the belt. Sigh. :) Thanks for the response and help! It's better to connect the inserters that extract used cells from the reactors - set them to "read hand" instead of "enable/disable", and set pulse mode to ensure the inserte...

snip Thanks. I'll play around with this. As for your question. I tried to do a setup that timed the fuel insert to the used fuel output, but I couldn't get it to work how i wanted. I followed this design: https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Circuit-network_Cookbook#Optimal_usage_of_fuel_for_nuclear_...

If you want a counter that resets to zero after signal disappears, you can use two conditionals before the memory cell: First conditional: IF signal > 0 THEN A = 1 Second conditional: IF signal > 0 THEN B = 1 Memory cell (arithmetic combinator with output connected to own input): A = A * B https://i...

I'm pretty sure that when Klonan said it's not a bug, he meant that if it doesn't happen in vanilla, but does happen with a mod (or a combination of mods), then it's not a bug in vanilla. It could easily be a bug in a mod, If you can work out which mod is causing it, then it might be worth asking t...

OTTD has this transition as well. Steam -> Electric -> Monorail-> MagLev, which are mutually exclusive except for Steam being able to drive on Electric. TTD had tunnels and bridges, which allowed the player to use different track types simultaneously. But even if those appear in Factorio, I would s...

So, add another network of rails which is incompatible with the current one?

Me no like.

You have multiple regular signals after your chain signal, and some of them are green. This allows the train to pass through. From the minimap I can see two unloading stations. However it looks like routes between leftmost waiting bays (most likely two) and rightmost station are unavailable due to c...

And in assembly it's this (I think) 01 clr a //clear register 02 mov a, max //move max to register 03 subb a, current //subtract current from register 04 ja 06 //if register is positive (max>current) skip next line 05 mov max, current //set max as current 06 ....

You need to store the value of the maximum pollution vs current pollution which is probably going to be an int>255 or a float, 2 bytes not boolean If current > max Max = current End if 3 lines of code It's no good to just say if a chunk has been polluted cause if you drive through a chunk or simila...
