Re: Repair packs: not from Roboport for personal losgistic

Yeah, so seen itā€™s not a very logical behavior. Why should a roboport supply the player. It makes not much sense, if repair packs is the only item.

Re: Repair packs: not from Roboport for personal losgistic

But that is a more general problem, not only happens with repair packs. It could happen with any item, that you bring into a logistic network.
So in any case involving the roboports into that is the wrong way. Must be solved completely differently.

Re: why prod modules are important

Replaced ā€œmodsā€ in title wit ā€œmodulesā€, because mods are the Factorio extensions and modules are what we are speaking here about.

Steam: remember that steam can be turned off in the graphics menu. Not a good indicator.

Re: Repair packs: not from Roboport for personal losgistic

Iā€™m not sure: why is that a problem? If they use up a repair pack, then the bots pick up a new, if needed. This is not dependent on, if they use it for repair or for your personal roboport. And Iā€™m not sure if I like or dislike that behavior. I suggest to use supply chests, because they are made for...

Re: ARM Build

As already said, things have changed a bit since then. And itā€™s clear that this would take a lot of time. The question is: is it worth it? And how risky will it be? And who wants to do it?

Re: Allow Inserters to take fuel from trains again

You have to go truly long distances to use up a whole nuclear fuel. And if so you could always not set the slots to 1 and use all 3 slots. As with chests limiting the slots would be a choice in the game. I'm not talking about modifying the prototype. It is easy to build a map, where one transport t...

Re: Allow Inserters to take fuel from trains again

If you set the slot to 1, you have the danger of getting stuck with nukular, if you have long-distant trains or special refill stations. Hm. Btw. Refill-stations. If we have special train stops for refill (go to the next refill station, if fuel is below X), we could change the trains behavior so, th...

Ya, well, first we speak here from more or less unmoded Factorio. And we spoke about which reason is behind, that this works for trees but not for landfill. But weā€™ll, this needs to work also for mods. Any kind of item. Bots improved: yes, but itā€™s still not enough and increasing carry further will ...

Re: Personal logistics preset function / Autotrash exchange string

merged into matching topic.
I would not wonder if someone finds more (plz report here), but this one seems to match well enough.

In other words: install the auto-trash mod now. Itā€™s really good. And we hope this will be part of vanilla at some point, when enough users use it.

Re: Button to Copy Train to Blueprint

Will this copy a train in the moment you make the blueprint of it? If yes: if the rails are missing, how could you find a part of the track, that matches the exact rail-positions of that train? If not: how would you place it then on track, if there are several switches and you want to have the train...

Re: Allow Inserters to take fuel from trains again

Hm. The loco has three slots. The wagon has 40. So the loc stores 7.5 % (13.3 times less) of the wagon. I donā€™t understand this discussion. Or maybe a little bit, because I remember being in situations where coal was low. But then it was always much, much, much more easy to limit the supply for the ...

Yeah, I simply quote myself : And I guess also, that there will be no much interest from wube to add additional languages without need.

Re: Automatically landfill when placing blueprints/ghosts

To B) I found more arguments for that thesis: With trees you need one robot to remove three. But for laying landfill you need much more. And as long as landfill isnā€™t placed you lock the robots, which place the items. The chance of of deadlock (no more robots availability for placing landfill becaus...

Re: [Optimization] Lamp performance improvement

The problem is, that every lamp needs to be ā€œturned onā€. Because every lamp is an extra power consumer. There is no general switch for them. They have optimized that, but for 100.000 lamps, each lamp needs to be turned on/off. But your suggestion is maybe a way to solve this problem. Hm. Eventually ...
