Yes. It is not usually necessary to do that with my build, but he has to do that because mods.

Why two threads?

Also maybe try to completely ditch all belts forever and use bots instead. Should give huge bonus in big bases.

Now you get duplicate answers.

Aaargha is actually making a good test bed as you can read in his comments. He'll make it available when he finished.
Since he has much more experience doing this and got a confidence boost now that his thread is stickied, I suggest you to wait a few days for him to finish.

Does this accomplish what you are after https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=47556 . I am not sure it talks too much about it but does include backup power. Ah yea I was going to suggest this. xD It produces enough power with its few solar cells and accumulators to power the plant ...

How do I do that? With a Hex editor reading the RAM directly? xD

Abusing water ends like this sadly - death by UPS. Make 4-5 tile wide landfill on it with small wall maze and fortify it - should help a lot when biters will be able to path. Jus tmake sure they can actually path in - no full blocking with wall/gate. We did. It didnt change much. No biter goes on a...

It's the inner lane of a curve, the inner lane of curves is faster than the outer lanes (not actually faster, but it needs to traverse less distance with the same speed) and in all of those cases you mentioned you're feeding a curve into the straight line, and the aberrant lane comes from the inner...

It was always rail signals. Well, I made it for testing. You could change it and do more tests if you want. I dunno, it does not match any of the blueprints available in the OP at least. It looks a bit like the LHD variant with the signals just moved to the other side of the rails. I'll probably ta...

This reactor was covered in a Xterminator video. Unfortunately they didn't do it justice, failing to get it started, not mentioning the critical features and made disparaging comments about steam storage and smart builds. From the looks of them yours was the only reactor design series which smoothl...

I thought they are just supposed to spawn more often now. That is increasing this problem. Right now I have low FPS/UPS on our server because of all the biters. Its incredible how many are just sitting there! The problem gets increased because we used a water mod to place water around our base... Ye...

Make the speakers react to a yellow signal. Its the signals thats send when a train cant stop before it anymore. And its send before the red signal.
Its very simple: Rail signal wired to speaker. Speaker set to: "If yellow = 1 then scream"
The rest has thereaverofdarkness explained.

I dont understand how the circuit could cause this. Does this happen without circuits? You tested it before: It is "WIDE B" for RHD. Maybe your setup has changed? Or... is it because there is no wait time between both green signals? I mean to stop trains that otherwise would have blasted ...

A train is at risk of deadlocking in a roundabout that has chain signals regardless of block size / train size / etc. if it chooses to repath in the middle of the intersection, and, AFAIK, it is considered a bug to this day. See this thread and this post in particular for demonstration of a single-...

Looks like splitter that look south and to the right are working a bit different. Does this have effect on other things fed into the splitter? I mean from a belt or a creative loader with only one lane active.

I'm not really sure that design will actually prevent starvation, to do that I think you may need to only allow traffic from one entrance at a time, unless the system is more sophisticated. It's also not deadlock safe at the moment for heavy traffic, see below, as the entrance signals are rail sign...

Love your designs guys - really appriciate your work. I added a little combinator to your designs so i can read out any wanted material from the logistic network. How do you read WANTED materials? I can only read currently stored things. Hm... no idea. How do you connect to the roboport or do you c...

Oh thats really cool!
I'love to try that.

I usually use this rule: If a track crosses another track place a chain signal infront of the crossing on both lines and a rail signal after. If two tracks converge ... do the same. It works always. It is really not needed to place chain signals for mergers. If a train blocks the merge, it can only...

But still: The train shouldnt want to make a whole round in it. Theres some other mistake or bug here
