Ditto. In the end I gave it Haunts my Dreams because even when I'm not playing I'm thinking about how to build things.

The logistic bot collects a logistic bot which grabs a third logistic bot which in turn grabs a fourth bot and so on until the last bot attempts to grab the first bot. The resulting circle of logistics bots starts to move towards you but due to a pathfinding issue each bot takes a different route an...

A factory designed to output 2.5 modules per minute (or in other words keep two Assembler 3s busy making modules). Technically it is overproducing green circuits, you can remove a beacon from one of the factories and it will still produce enough in theory. However in practice the total buffer for gr...

TwentySided blog. Shamus kept mentioning it and it sounded like my sort of game.

Here you go. If you flip the power switch near the roboports the belts will get loaded and the inserter should jam after a minute or so (hopefully, it happens to me every time but you never know with these things). As a side note, this appears to be a very specific timing related issue. I tried an a...

I was attempting to design and debug a factory and encountered a weird thing with an inserter that I don't know how to fix. To explain, I found that loading my cassemblers directly from the line was insufficient since the factory would run out of resources in the time the inserter took to collect th...

The logistics bots pave over the lawn with concrete.

I request the Spanish Inquisition to investigate why the logistics bots are so broken.

You don't have enough substations in storage so the bots take them from your solar panel field instead. The lack of power causes your laser turrets to shut down. You get eaten by a biter.

I request 100 cluster grenades.

Here's my attempt at this. It's 34.3 circuits/second so only about 85% of a belt but it only takes 65% of iron and copper belts as well.

The bit about ten ore being required is correct however.

For example, that steam for coal liquification seems weird, just put a boiler next to a line full of coal that's already there and plug in, doesn't seem to add much to the game. Theoretically setting up combined power plant and refinery might be cool, but I'm personally not going to try that before...
