If you set a filter for small electric poles (or any other item), such that only small electric poles are targeted by the planner, ghosts of small electric poles are not targeted.

My solution is rather wide in comparison, mostly to allow inner train turn-abouts, but I think it turns out pretty good (see attached txt document for pattern).

Has anyone else noticed that getting speed upgrades doesn't increase the distance a robot can move before they need to recharge? My factories typically use a global robot net, so as to facilitate construction (their primary purpose) and occasionally to move materials. The construction robots typical...

You seem to be stuck on the traveling vast distances use case. This is NOT a solution to the sudden sharp increase to cross a single tile with express underground belts. By the way, using underground belts to less than their full distance is much, much more common than using them at exactly full di...

Did you even read my calculation? They are cheaper than using express transport belts on the same tiles. I'm pretty sure you haven't examined the arguments of the other side properly. How often did you use maximum underground belt distance even in 0.14? How often did you simply use UG belt to cross...

The express underground belts are prohibitively expensive. It really depends on your use case. When trying to cross distances, they may out od above ground belts, but I use them in my factory as a method of compression. I can get 2 rows of electric furnaces operating from 3 spaces apart with no stru...

Honestly, I think that the underground express belts are too expensive now. Sure, many people want longer distances, but I just need to jump over a belt while maintaining speed. 80 gears to jump 1 space (not including the nerf to the red underground)? Also, some of my favorite plans that fill blue b...

The tooltip for the pump has been updated to 1200 units now >.>, was 200 when I checked.

Every fluid amount increased 10 fold. My guess is that fluid speed is also increased by 10x (Fluids move by comparing differences in level between pipes which is a multiplicative operation. I doubt that a multiplier on the amount would change the speed for this reason). Now, pumps used to handle 30 ...
