Here is the save. Actually the game hangs upon placing a wagon anywhere.

Upon placing a wagon just above my position the game hangs (have to ctrl alt del). The wagon has to be placed in right most position for this to happen and you must have a spare wagon. UPDATE: ->Hovering a wagon over other wagon alse freezes the game. ->Hovering a locomotive over wagon freezes the g...

[*]Changed stack sizes of battery/energy shield to 50 so it can be built in assembling machine without getting stuck. [*]Changed recipe of power armor (less processing units/steel) so it can be automated more easily as well. The stuck problem is now gone from vanilla but can still present in moded ...

You should place signals on both sides of rail on short part and long parts. This should work

In your mind how an automatic ropeway station should look like and work in Factorio to compete in size with train stations? Like inserters hanging down on a ropeline, picking items from specified spot and dropping to another specified spot. Or an assembler-like factory that packs items on carrages ...

Would be a nice option during game greation.

Ok, I know an easy fix to initial problem. -> Allow stack to exceed the max value if forced by inserter. In my example it the inserter would force the exess shields and the factory would temporary have 24 shields. Then inserter would continue placing other items. Same for wagons with designated slot...

Thats a puzzle game, so its part of the puzzle, but in factorio it would be reasonable to have 8 positions for refinaries and for Chemoplants.

Cool! How does the fix work?
Inserter doesnt pick more than it can place ?
Does it work from request chest to wagon with dedicated slots also? <-also can inserter not place items on rail before train arrives please?

+1 I would want a chemoplant flip (8 positions total like rails)

In some cases the production is stopped because the inserter took too many items and cannot place them in factory. For example the factory had 19 shields, the inserter grabs 5 more but can only place ONE, 4 are stuck in inserter forever and it cannot take other items. Also in a game of automation i ...

Lol thats one funny bug

If it's the accumulators and solar panels - a way to combine them into bigger entities would be a good idea for optimization.[/quote]
+1 to this, a big eco-friendly factory has 1k solars+1k accus, there should be a way to optimize perfomance by combining them somehow.

Maybe make the train throw you away instead of killing you?

The underground train passage doesnt require the world to be unflat, same as underground belts and pipes.

Who says it should be in one tile? The train to ground piece would certainly be several tiles long. Underground train passages fit the game perfectly and will greatrly improve the massive train networks. They will also help avoid train jams due to imperfect signals mechanism. I would be OK with hav...

+1 I want this !

I think that inserters should unload from each part of the wagon and not just from the center.

Yes .. underground train passage please !

Zero alt tab crashes for me... check your system.
