This is covered in the wiki. Next you will be wanting to spit out of moving trains I bet!



(Just kidding by the way - trams would be fun!)

Feels kind of out of the spirit of your imposed challenge to have outsourced smelting to one of your outposts. I could be wrong but I do not believe he has outsourced smelting to an outpost. The trains are bringing in ore. The 10 auxiliary furnaces are included in the base - they just are not dedic...

Spore meets Factorio

Hey there! I just started playing Factorio about a week or two ago. I have started posting on the forums and wanted to take the time to introduce myself. I am 36 years old and live in Charlotte, North Carolina. I write reports for a living and have a degree in Computer Information Systems and Accoun...

I will keep doing tests and hopefully have some more videos to follow up on this but below are some quick calculations I've done. The compression results were measured beginning with a 100% compressed track as suggested but what bothers me I guess is there will be two different measures of throughpu...

Thanks ssilk, that is very helpful!

It's all about that base 'bout that base... This just in, curvy track has better throughput and compression than skinny track! :o Okay, don't get too excited, there's a catch - if you ever flatten out the curvy track into a skinny track everything breaks because items clump together and slow down to...

Fish is showing low throughput but high compression. I am showing high throughput and high compression. I'm not saying it's easy or piratical. I'm just sharing the knowledge that is is better so that those creative people in the community who like coming up with new builds can put it to use in some ...

For trees I clear only what I need to and wait for poison capsules to clear large sections of trees. They are most bothersome for me when laying rail track. I use shotgun when I need to clear a line for a track and poison capsules when I need to clear a large area for an outpost. The tank may be goo...

Biggest single player issues I've seen recently have been with save files not loading after the update because they reference distance chunks for some reason. Nothing to fear with a new play through that I've seen.

Right. Remember, the game is alpha! For now I want to see other new content. Like working multiplayer, making rail tracks by drag and draw, more end game content, more aliens, smarter circuit networks... If I want to play something like that, I can fix it myself. :) I think the confusion is between...

Good idea, thanks!

Oh cool I will check the mod out and see what damage I can do!

No it doesn't. Stuff that's placed on a belt like that will effectively block the belt. The misplaced items move at a crawl, even blocking everything in one or both of the proper lanes behind it. That is only true if your straighten the belt out. On diagonal track the misplaced items travel just fi...

Oh, you can overload a belt like that? Well, the inserter factories didn't really work. It seems to work okay up until the track straightens out. In the screen shot it looks like the straight portion was working okay but it really wasn't. There may be some use with the diagonal ore line - not sure....

True, the one guy who chose 'no' didn't understand the poll was asking if he responded I think!

Hmm, but I WANT to use three! Maybe one day...

Well, it doesn't function well at all. But, you have to admit, it looks pretty!!

I believe the question for the poll is "Do you think light/lamps on poles is a good idea". I am basing that on the title of the post.

Hello there. I'm learning about train signals and have come quite a long way in my understanding of them. I have seen many tutorials but I feel like there is still a gap between knowing how to "lay track" correctly so the signal placement is easy versus understanding how signals operate. S...
