I know this is a digression, but does the tutorial accept you using the wooden chests or small electrical poles as fuel?

If you don't mind using mods, grab https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Zanthra/GTTS and have it target 30FPS. This will make twice as much stuff happen every tick, so even if your game is running at 30 UPS it will be as effective as if it was running at 60 UPS without the mod. You can also try: https://m...

https://factorio.rotol.me/pack/bobsange ... rmal-water has a list of thermal water recipes in bobs/angels.

Sounds like something AAI Industries would do...

So, I seem to be missing something, since I can't understand what the rail visualization is showing. What rail tutorial is being discussed in the FFF? I just went and updated factorio from stable to experimental to try to find it, and I can't seem to do so. I've never understood rails in factorio, ...

I think Pump requires only normal engines because of a catch 22: You have oil but it's only far away from the base. So you'd like to pump it onto a fluid wagon and bring it over by train. But you haven't set up oil processing->lubricant->electric engines, so you can't pump it. So now you have to do ...

If you don't have to do something to EVERY chunk EVERY tick, you can scan over all chunks, but stop after you've scanned X, and next tick pick up starting at the next chunk over. That way performance penalty is spread evenly over all ticks, and does not increase in proportion to number of chunks gen...

If vanilla Factorio added the ability to drain bodies of water, it would also make sense to add an ability to have a closed water circuit - condense steam back into water, etc. For the cost of a more complex setup, you can require a smaller (or even 0?) input of new water.

If you download Process Explorer, you can right click processes > Set Affinity and restrict them to running on only certain cores.

If that still doesn't work, try a different screen recording program such as OBS.

Does that mean sulfuric acid canals and ponds? Sign me up! The one thing Factorio was missing

The fact that it's translucent means you are too far away to place the pump. Walk closer or install a mod like https://mods.factorio.com/mods/jamesaguilar/long-reach to let you place buildings from further away.

Being able to do things while paused is also something I miss. I don't think it would be overpowered, since as you say, nothing stops you from making a save, thinking/exploring and then loading the save and resuming (or even using a known seed and knowing in advance where everything is), and you can...

It's normal for scenarios, yes.
The main game is infinite by default, but you can constrain one or both axis to be finite rather than infinite at map generation time if you like.

I think you're doing the first scenario, right? Scenarios have finite sized maps, only the main game is infinite by default.

Can you post a screenshot showing a place where you would expect to be able to place it, but cannot?

Just to make sure: a splitter sometimes simply not doing its job when both input and output belts are connected is working as intended? If thats the case, its description is wrong, since it states the splitter splits input items 1:1. It does so only if both outputs are unblocked. If a splitter stop...

If you want the forum to preserve number of spaces, use code tags, like so: |-----------------------------| |------------------------| | | | | | | | |----------------------| | | | Roboport | extender | Roboport | ---------E--------- | |_______________| | | | | | | | |____________________| |_________...

According to the wiki, unless I am misreading it, both entities take the same amount of plates (50) to construct in expensive mode, just that splitters use 10 more iron.

I don't think any mod with gameplay effects can use threading and also be multiplayer compatible, since Factorio multiplayer uses lockstep simulation (= all players must calculate gameplay the same way, and agree on the same sequence of events, or desync occurs).
