Re: Friday Facts #403 - Train stops 2.0
Could trains which run out of fuel be refueled by bots?

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits
Are you sure this is the player? The arm seems to be quite high in the air, even if the player is as close the the foundry as possible. So either this type of power armor also affects you size, or this is more like a Fallout Powerarmor, more of a vehicle than personal equipment. Well, no, I'm not s...

Re: Friday Facts #394 - Assembler flipping and circuit control
Dear devs. Two questions: First: Now everyone could use circuits to configure assembly machines, how to deal with fluid input rotation? Is there any indicator in which direction an assembly machine will connect prior to selecting actual a recipe with fluid input? Second: In case of flipping asymmetr...

Hi.
Is there any chance to get long-handed stack inserters?

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0
The way the boxes' modes work you would always have the output feeding into the input unless you forced the input and output onto different colored networks. You couldn't have input nor output on both channels without feedback. You don't get feedback if the signals are different for output and inpu...

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0
I'm with Qon you're asking for a combinator to perform two completely different bits of logic and have two completely different outputs on each wire That is not true. Just look at graphic shown in FFF https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/blog-sync/fff-384-decider-combinator.png . Conditions are on the l...

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0
Having a combinator being made into something that invisibly (from overview) performs the operations of two unrelated combinators (but still both arithmetic, decider xor selector?) just makes the combinator network harder to read. That is a definition based on your point of view. Having a arithmeti...

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0
I would like to have an option not only to select different outputs but also choose the channel (red or green) to output to . This seems pretty pointless. Why would you want this? If you don't want signals on green wire, just don't connect it. If you want other data on green wire than red wire, mak...

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0
Two more suggestion 1 I would like to have an option not only to select different outputs but also choose the channel (red or green) to output to. So that it is looking on the right side as on the left side. Left: One row for inputs from green, one row for inputs from red. Right: One row for output...

Re: Friday Facts #382 - Logistic groups
The previous post was moving the goalpost by adding several "buts!" to a simple concept of using something that WUBE is planning to have on the space platform to power rocket engines, which could have been re-used for space construction drones or not. I made a mention of possibly using fu...

Re: Friday Facts #382 - Logistic groups
Edit: sorry, I meant “or” inactive for five seconds. This also handles the case where it can’t fulfill a filter inserter’s requests so it skips back to the until full. It can lead to some unnecessary travel if it can’t load the needed items though. As an aside, I deliver artillery shells with an ar...

Re: Friday Facts #382 - Logistic groups
I invert things within an isolated resupply network with a -1. So I’m not sure why he would use -2 (my main thought is that he uses the “read train contents” option on his outposts).

Re: Friday Facts #382 - Logistic groups
Very minor point but the rocket capacity is listed in the GUI as 1 ton. Ton is the imperial measurement (with several different possible values because yay imperial system). The metric measurement is a tonne (t). As you say, there are several different tons. One of which is, of course, the metric t...

Re: Friday Facts #382 - Logistic groups
19 times out of 20, I already set the maximum equal to the minimum, and it's just extra clicks. Crucially, the FFF makes it very clear that the autotrash button is intended to be toggled proactively by the user. If you know you're about to start deconstructing and don't want the items immediately t...

Re: Friday Facts #382 - Logistic groups
In current version 1.1 you have two numbers: Minimum for starting logistic request if inventory count is below. Maximum for trashing if inventory count is above. On Your Screenshot I can only see one number ... Since trash unrequested is ticked, there is no need for the second number, since everyth...

Re: Friday Facts #382 - Logistic groups
Some questions: Will rockets from space platform being the same size as rocket from planet? In reality they are not, because in space you don't need to escape the gravity. Especially in current space exploration (e.g. to ISS) typically every rocket has its return capsule on board. So it would be fai...

Re: Friday Facts #380 - Remote view

If you able to change recipies in assambler and direction of belts right from the beginning will kill the fun of having to walk trough your tiny factory. ...

Re: Friday Facts #378 - Trains on another level
So I'm stopped by an invisible force if I try to enter the ramps? That's my assumption. Basically the ramps will have a collision box against the player and the player would just simply walk under elevated rails. I'm guessing it may be too complex and have too many edge cases/issues with letting th...
