Looks cool but

Yea.... It's because if i build a real megabase with this design i will have more wagons on the trains. So tilability

Stuff on the ground is bad since those inserters will never reach a resting/idle state.

I don't have any items on the ground and the inserters from the trains deactivate properly when there is no train (have checked with F4 show-active-state).

Fair design. It could use a (limited) buffer for copper to deal with those trains not being there, and for optimization also a buffer between the 2 green inserters feeding iron to the ElCirc factories. Stuff on the ground is bad since those inserters will never reach a resting/idle state. Also add ...

It's not to hard to knit together the green science in a CPU friendly way with the railway and trains. https://i.imgur.com/lp6stH9.png 0eNq1nctuHEmSRX+lwLXYCH+713J6MWhgdr1sFBoUlVUihiI1JFXdjUL9+yQlZmYo5Z5xj0XmSk8ef4W/zK+Z/XH1/v7L5vPT3cPL1c9/XN3dPj48X/38jz+unu9+e7i5f/27l/983lz9fHX3svl09e7q4ebT65+ebu7u...

What do you think about this inserter factory for an CPU optimized train factory? It makes 2.1k inserters from iron and copper plates not counting the intermittent stops when a new train rolls into the station.

I thing the no oil in the starting area is a part of a bigger pacing problem for the game. Where blue science introduce to many new type of puzzle's to solve and there is almost no left for the rest of the game. Blue science also bumps up the resource cost and the amount of assemblers needed quite d...

Red science.png This is what I come up with to counter your design. Hope someone can beat it. 6 beacon on each science assembler.

1. Perfect ratios is not always the most optimized for CPU but try to make it better with ratios in mind. You could for example let 1 gear assembler feed into 2 red science assembler. 2. You get better beacon coverage if the beacon rows are offset 1 tile to the assemblers. Move the bottom row of bea...

I understand the downside of the research queue. I thing the queue is bad for knew players and good for players that have played a long time and already know bigger part of the tech by hart (Many forum dwellers). So i think it's a good design to leave it to mods or an option.

While i usually endulge technical aspects of FFF i'm out of this one. The only graphical stuff i did was painting images with GDLIB in PHP and using the G15 library for some text and rectangles in EVEMON. Maybe one of you guys who does this for a job could dumb this down a bit? So what i know is th...

By making players share items, organise them in chests, protect them, it leads to way more emergent situations that can be fun in multiplayer. "where is the steam engine blueprint? it's in a chest next to the boilers, use that to build more". By making players do extra work to share bluep...

I don't understand the difference between a blueprint and a blueprint tool! Can't we have a blueprint tool that is on the level and switchable from the pickax. The the copy paste functionality could be built into the blueprint-tool and some function to easily transfer blueprint info from and to the ...

The functionality of automatic blueprint library sharing in multiplayer is removed. The "shared blueprints" panel is removed. Blueprints and blueprint books in multiplayer will be shared by manually trading the items or by linking them in the chat. Blueprints or books linked in the chat c...

To me, just having the copy and paste functionality, rather than needing a blueprint all the time, would clear up a lot of the situations where my inventory gets cluttered with random blueprints. If I had to pick one I believe option 4 sounded the best to me out of the proposed ideas. I start to th...

What about a blueprint tool that 1. Always store 1 blueprint and only 1 blueprint only. 2. You will be able to ad the bp in your bptool to the library. 3. You will be able to ad a copy of a bp in the library to your bptool (the old bp in the tool will disappear) 4. When you make a new bp the old one...

I often use Blueprints when i "need" to move a section of the factory 1 tile to the left or similar situations. It's now quite cumbersome you first have to 1. create a new empty blueprint. ctrl+B. 2. blueprint the section you want 3. find the deconstruction planner 4. deconstruct the part ...

-There are of course other small projects that are ongoing, such as improved pipe-fluid physics and improved map generation, but more on those when they are fleshed out. I would say that is huge... And the "Sync mods with a server you want to join." feature could make multiplayer more live...

I'm not sure why Microsoft manages to get fonts right, and none of the competitors can get it to work right. Does anyone here know about Linux or Apple and can tell me what the problem is? Funny thing is that technically Microsoft is the one rendering the fonts wrong . Without going into too much d...

About the question to do production or high tech science first is simple, production science is much easier to do than high tech so it will be production science first 100% of the times. What bother me about the balances between different science pack is that blue feels much harder than production. ...
