TSM Train Supply Manager bug?

I'm having issues with TSM, on the 3rd zone i've built. I dont understand why, I was pretty sure I had it figured out, and all concept stations i'd done, and the 2 zones i had done with multiple requesters were working as expected. All ive done is put a new requester station down with a requester, t...

Re: Approach with pure PyMods?

and I don't like wasting, burning, venting stuff except as a stopgap. Agreed! I have to admit to having lots going out a vent or sinkhole at the moment, with the plan to come back and balance things more as I progress. Its quite hard at the start though, so yeh, stopgap :) 1. If using LTN, you shou...

Re: Newbie in need

I'm just going through it all the same time as you - although a little bit further ahead. I didnt bother storing all my tar, just 1 tank. The rest went straight down a sinkhole. Same with lots of things - just Vent or dump them down a sinkhole - until you can come back and and re-balance and add con...

Re: Approach with pure PyMods?

I used LTN for a seablock run so decided to use TSM, only got a few outposts set up so far. The train depots i use a combination of wharehouse and loaders(mini loaders not loader redux). 1 requester station i have it set up so it can output 6 items. Seems to be working so far. Just remember to limi...

Approach with pure PyMods?

Hi guys, Looking for advice from people who have used a Rail approach (LTN/TSM) to PyMods, I've been working on a bootstrap base for PyMods (Coal, Fusion, HighTech, RawOres, and Industry) for the last 2 weeks. This whole time i've been trying to envision, and plan, for how I want to move forward wit...

Re: my nuclear power setup won't work?

Hi, Did you get this working? If you hold the mouse over the reactor, What temperature does it say in the right hand information panel? Well over 500? What about if you hold your mouse over the boilers? What temperature are they? Over 500? If you hold your mouse over the water pipes, how much water ...

Re: Rail signals

Hi, I cant see what you've posted - is it a blueprint? I'm at work at the moment, so cant check it. But I did find several useful tutorials on youtube, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZiL7_vfJtQ or another one recommended recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/4f38sk/factorio_...

Re: any ideas how to control ammo in turrets

This is especially handy when using robots to deliver ammo. Belts lead to a lot of belt storage. The problem with delivering ammo via bots, is if you'r base isnt a nice rectangle, and instead is L shaped, or has arms shooting off to outposts, etc, then you now have bots flying over hostile land, to...

Re: any ideas how to control ammo in turrets

my opinion, ditch the turrets as soon as possible. Switch to a laser + flame approach. Heres mine: Untitled.png As you can see, there is a single wall. Not double, and no "dotted outer walls" to confuse the biters. The double wall bit you can see is for blueprint alignment purposes. This b...

Re: Cant make science pack 1 - what am i doing wrong?

Ok thanks, so the drill should be unlocked from the start?
If you/anyone figures it out let me know.
I'll try disabling some of the extra mods when I get home, but I didnt think any of them would interfere as they are just QoL helper mods.
Thanks,

On the other hand it gets more expensive with nuclear fuel. You can add circuit logic that limits the number of fuel on the belt.
Yes, I was picturing 100 trains stops, with 200 nuclear fuel sitting on belts at each stop... ouch...

Thanks for taking time to share your experience, even if it is just to share my pain ;-) ... I allow LogiBots to supply my personal inventory, and to supply train fuel. So I have 2 requester chests at each source station (or output, doesnt matter). one chest supplies the front locomotive, and anoth...

Re: Choosing train and track sizes

A couple of questions: first, how do you fuel your trains? I tried a dedicated sector for fueling, but so much wasted time with trains going for fuel when not really needed (no way to say repeat pick up green, drop off at red, until low on fuel), and the fuel sector became first a bottleneck and th...

Re: Doubt about train stations

And, May I also suggest expanding on your design: Also include a roboport in each section, but make sure the logistic square doesn't connect with any other roboport. You want a separate logistic zone. Then, have your train also delivery a few (3?) construction bots, and a few repair tools (3?). This...
