actually multiplayer and the deterministic needed for that is one of the reasons its almost impossible
theres multiple posts on this. the conclusion for now is "not gonna happen any time soon"

i frequently have to AM insert 2 different items onto 1 belt (eg inserters and yellow belt for green science)
making it so inserters can insert items on 2 sides of the belt would brake most bases and remove a lot of fun belt tricks from the game.

Im more curious why do u want Wood when your in the bot fase ?
By that time i got 20k stacked and building steam engines, just for getting rid of it.

u gotta learn to dodge the trains

how can u even tell how many "machines u have" ? but dont start fearing lag until u reached at least the 1k science / 1rpm size. Atleast on my i5 im now on +- 1.5K science/min on a full belt set-up and im just now dipping getting 55-60 UPS. And still 60 as soon as the research stops. on th...

Not completely my fault. They changed the science at one point. I adjusted the imput chests, build the factories to make the new things. and chanced some other things whike i was at it THen a few hours late bots complained they had no storage space, so i plopped a dozen yellow chests and thought not...

infinite research are done

you do see the problem with that statement ?

Hey. First of, thanks for the mod. I like the idea of a goal for the endgame. And sofar its given me a nice goal to aim for. I am however i bit puzzled by the FTL research. I had a pretty beefy researchsetup from te go, and all of your parts just felt a bit heavier research thingies then the base on...

Well for what it's worth C++ is a great starter language. In jr high I started learning QBasic and then we moved to C++ in high school. Finally in college I learned Visual Basic. The ideas and principles I learned with QBasic and C++ still worked in VB. Learning programming languages teaches you to...

Actually it is possible. I saw a post a few days ago (on reddit i think) of a guy who made a counter for how much power was being used. it was acurate to like 1 KW or something. He was measuring something like the amount of steam being made or used every tick. Looked pretty impressive. but ofcourse ...

Just curious. Under what settings are u playing ? Because i got like 70 trains whizzing around, biter evolution at max. and has been for a dozen hours. Granted ive cleared out most of the surounding hives, so theres not that many biters to collide with. But i have yet to encounter a train being stop...

Try fixing your formula. Resources per Second Number of Machines * Ingredient quantity per Craft / 60 seconds for per second = Required Ingredient /s Erm you are making a simple thing complicated :P Required ingredients per second = ingredients of 1 pack. no need to complicate that :) Only note tha...

If you have one science pack 3 assembler running, it would consume (via mining drill and red circuit) 5 green circuits every twelve seconds. therefore, if you had twelve science pack 3 assemblers running, it would consume 5 green circuits every 1 second. the travel time can be ignored as that is ju...

tbh i cant follow your reasoning : blue science needs red chip, mine, engine theres 3 green circutis in a mine. 2 in a adv circuit and 0 in a engine, thats 5 total per science pack if u want 1 pack a second. thats 5 green per second, how do u get to 600 from that :? Note that a lot of recipes also t...

Glad to see im not the only one accidently deleting stuff :) Wel tbh i dont delete the books on a regular basis, mostly its a misclick. so i would like a warning there, but i can see your point. But for the love of god warn before deleting a filled book from library, this is the 3rd time i wanted to...

Im trying to export my save as a scenario, so i can edit some copper patches in
However i keep getting an error



Anyone know how to fix it ?

The small patches "not worth getting" might be worth plopping a mine or two on, and ferrying the uranium over with logistics bots (and use barrels for the low amount of acid you need over there). If you're low on the stuff, every bit helps. Kovarex and fuel reprocessing however will not m...

There is a whole board for suggestions :) Besides that, this would not work because somewome would just mod in a lab that intakes 1 coal to do a 1000 science. And besides that, add some infinite ores, and just let yout pc run 24/7 it basicly becomes : "who kan keep its pc running the longest&qu...

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198059127103/screenshots/ Otherwise your setup is fine. Don't worry about half empty trains, it only costs a bit of coal to run the trains, the important thing is to get that ore back to the smelters to ensure the factory doesn't starve. Regular supply of ore...
