Players need PETROL but cars in this game run off solid fuels, not fluids. My mod adds liquid fuel, that's basically supposed to be petrol, but the use case is limited, it's only really useful in a fluid generator, or an intermediate. You could always set jerrycans of Liquid Fuel as a fuel source f...

A "MK2" version that replaces the weaker original (with better range, fire rate, more health or combination thereof) is fine. The way Bob's mods handle defenses is quite neat I think. Autoreplacement isn't needed - it's just that something better must become available by the time biters be...

I suppose 16.40 gave them some debugging material for that bug

Thanks for the update!

It is as long as all 4 belts get fed or drawn from on either side... Right now you've got imbalanced in, imbalanced out.

Perhaps your satellite could have some sort of nuclear power source? I'd say RTG, but that requires something other than Uranium, like Plutonium. Perhaps an RTG could be made from Plutonium, which is a byproduct of recycling a used fuel cell? Not only does it force you to have to mine uranium, but ...

You've found the reason why I don't chainfeed labs by inserters anymore. The problem is that while flasks are pushed through, the labs shut down since one of the flasks is missing, and it won't do research while all components aren't there. It's not like the nuclear reactor that an item is consumed ...

Please, please stop measuring things, anything, in device dependent coordinates. Please stop using pixels. IMHO, nothing should ever surface pixels as a coordinate system, ever! The use of pixels has caused enormous amounts of pain as people switch to 4k displays. They will cause enormous amounts o...

-> 1) Yellow science requires some thing made from uranium Yellow science requiring uranium would be problematic - before the Kovarex Enrichment you won't have much U-235 available. You'd end up needing to refine massive amounts of uranium just to do the research to enrich the U238. Using U238 would...

Well, to be honest, if you want an extremely efficient non-solar power setup, you're better off going nuclear anyway. Huge investment but once you get that going... I've not run the math but I think we're in the order of several dozen, if not hundreds of megajoules per uranium mined. I was merely po...

10k science per minute in a mirrored block design factory, consisting of a central structure factory and supply/recycling base, and 8x 1250 sci/min clusters in a mirrored block formation around it. Currently finished the first block and working on the support/structure factory in the center (since I...

Let's say they implement star gates. You can teleport to other planets and build there too. Other than possible exclusive resources, give me at least ONE reason the player may want to build there. Partitioning a gigacomplex across multiple worlds could potentially keep the visuals down a bit, it co...

Once you have roboports, construction robots, and repair packs, could you use gates on an unsignaled rail system, and short trains (max length that won't destroy gates or rail cars when crashing at full speed), to prevent deadlocks and have trains queue by smashing into the gate or train ahead of t...

once you get the higher mining productivity bonuses the difference those modules make is negligable. Once you get high mining productivity the effective speed is still high, so you might as well put in some productivity modules. Except the prod bonus from the modules is additive with the one from m...

Darkfrei... that's an elegant solution - as long as the supply doesn't stutter, that's perfect. Much better UPS wise then a counter. I might need to pilfer that design :) Just one question. What happens if Black research isn't being used? Scoop those off of the end and recirculate? And Zavian: Thank...

Yea. Tanks are also useful versus the true enemy of the Player: Trees
Bulldozers are a nice idea I used to use the AAV Mining vehicle for automated forest clearing (more or less, it's not exactly perfect for that job).

Doesnt work - the infinite sciences increase in required research with each iteration, but keep the same time, so your labs will automagically speed up their consumption a little each time. Throttling needs to be done at at least one of the inputs. I'll see if I can make such a counter/timer work. N...

It's called a Wooden Chest. The trashcompactor is called a Tank.

Given that science consumption down the line is done in equal ratios, you only need to filter one of the research streams to throttle the whole thing. So simply throttle red as you usuall overproduce on that anyway, basic as it is. You want 100 science per minute. You will need: - A box to load prod...

Can't speak for LTN, but for vanilla there's some options: - If you know the cargo type that's going to be loaded, something like "Iron Ore >7999" could work for a 4 wagon ore train. - A station hooked to the circuit network could be used to send a circuit signal to the train to tell it to...
