Cute.

I'm sticking with the old gods though.

I cloned the lab, and added the tag "crafting_speed = 2," and it seems to work.

Interesting, thanks.

Your wish is my command

(Of course this is just a symbolic version)

I agree.

Though to be fair, "news" lists all the new versions, and "updates" lists the weekly updates about development.

Afaik you cannot modify the darkness. (read-only)

The same applies to the daylength. But because the current daytime is read/write you could use a workaround. E.g. you want to make the night longer you could read the current daytime if it passed midnight you reset it back to midnight. Continue as ...

How do I make the night darker?

(And in general, change parameters relating to the day/night cycle).

This works for any ratio. Divide your stream into 32 parts, send 17 to copper wire, 1 to battery, 1 to red pack, and 13 back to the original stream.
This is the most helpful reply. As I mentioned earlier, however, this structure gets rather larger as we're talking about 2^5. Further, we are now ...

Thanks Holy-Fire, you are correct. I checked after I had written my post and although stone is mined faster than ore it was nowhere near my formula. So now we now for sure! :D

I wonder what the reason is to introduce hardness. It doesn't seem to play a major role in the game. As of now it's ...

For miners it's complicated and not clear. First of all mining power is not relevant at the moment (maybe it was in prior versions). Every mineable ressource has a mining hardness (which is comparable to the base production time) and iirc it's 0.9 for all mineable materials (iron/copper/stone/coal ...

There are many different designs and players have different preferences. I manufacture gears in one location and move them on a belt. Copper wires I feed directly to the electronic circuit machines.

Note also that while this game is about automation, there's a lot of mileage to gain by having a few ...

I read it and found it quiet useful. Thanks FreeER. Oh good, I didn't waste my time then :) Glad you found it helpful, I thought about deleting it but figured that it was possible for someone who didn't know to find it (but I still put it in a spoiler since it doesn't directly solve Holy-Fire's ...

game.player.force.resettechnologies()
game.player.force.resetrecipes()
game.reloadscript()

This might work. It is designed to be used in amigration script but may work outside of it. Look at the Lua/Force wiki page for more info: https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/index.php?title=Lua/Force
Thanks ...

You could probably lower the energy usage
This idea crossed my mind as well but I thought for sure it wouldn't work... But it turns out it does!

Using this upsets the balance a bit (since for other buildings I'm keeping the same power consumption), but labs aren't a big power consumer anyway.


I ...

Is it possible to change the speed of research labs? I could find no "speed" property in the base files.

I'm trying to write a mod that slows down most aspects of the game. But I figure this could be useful, for example, for a mod that has several lab types with different speeds.

I should try the game someday, so I know what everyone is talking about

For what it's worth, I personally think that the previous game in the series, Anno 1404, was much better. You might want to try that as well.

Without sound, the game is not fun, and thus cannot be considered "play".

Hence, the game requires sound to play

That's the Metric prefix standard.

It can be clearly seen in the video that the problem is not the input of copper plates, it's the output of wire.

The machines doing electronic circuits, to which you output the wires, can't keep up, because they have just one basic inserter feeding them iron. Add an inserter for the iron and it ...

Also, mind the bugs in my original thread https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1914
(for example on the screenshot there the colors of graph are random/not matching, and others described there...)

Ok, so there was actually a fundamental bug in the production statistics ...

Without accumulators, there is no place to store excess energy so the engines generate just what's needed. That's the whole point of accumulators.
