Changing tier is a NIGHTMARE without LTN/CyberSyn doing your scheduling for you.

Also, does interrupts change any of this? Feel like a simple interrupt if the locomotive is a certain quality to go to a stop is not the worst.


Not really. And what you need is the station to be able to detect ...

The problem is that imports are rate-limited due to there only being one landing pad.

There's only so much you can pull out of it every second, even with logi bots.

The one problem with importing tungsten is that you are only allowed a single train station to bring it in from other planets. And it has a hard cap on how big it is.

As for artillery on Nauvis: It's the reason you rush Vulcanis first, so that you can take your time on the other planets.

And you ...

Before you push for this, go do a megabase run with Bob's trains where you start with the MK1s and move up through the tiers.

Factorio is an open-ended puzzle game.

"How the devs intended" is not important. Seriously. Surprising the devs is a good thing, and they should stop "fixing" things like explosive reactive armour for spaceships. (Especially because that fix gave us dougnut ships in a really awkward way that's a ...

Any chance that unlocking deep water rail pillars can also unlock deep water big power poles?

It looks daft needing landfill for the power lines but not for the rails.

Yeap. That is exactly the reason I have dedicated train-building areas. That have no way for trains to get into them.

2.0.20 did not fix this.

Double-check that the logistics areas touch? (The yellow squares)

The construction area is a bit bigger than needed to connect intuitively.

These lines in your log look concerning: Opening zip /home/illy/.factorio/mods/Train_Ore_Color-016_1.2.0.zip failed: I/O error
Have you tried launching steam with this flag -compat-force-slr off ?
There's more discussion about the steam runtime in this thread: https://forums.factorio.com ...

Game doesn't even get to the splash screen. Other games work fine, fullscreen and windowed.

No mods are currently enabled except Space Age (all three)

Independent install works fine, so this is a steam intergration issue.

Oooohhh... Now you bring that up, that would explain it.

It's Landfill Painting that does that, I think because it's changing which sand tile it is.

I have a number of filtered storage chests (filtered to Sand3 (It's SeaBlock, so it's essentially landfill)) and I have placed large amounts of landfill blueprints and paving blueprints.

The landfill is somehow being delivered to the storage chest and there is no way it should get to a state where ...

I'd have put this in "fixed for 2.0" then

Do the new fluid mechanics help with the rounding errors causing things like this?

Seablock, but probably possible in vanilla.

Solder casting machine is saying it has enough fluid to craft, but isn't crafting.

This is *probably* a floating point/display bug.

Rate would probably be a performance nightmare.

Starting point might not be?

"Disable and dependencies" would be nice. Especially for the library mods that just provide tools to other mods.

"Mod containers" are already really easy to do, but you have to be willing to open up the modding tools (ie. notepad and your file browser). Just make a minimal mod with no code or ...

That's overkill.

That mine doesn't need input balancing and it doesn't need unlimited throughput on 8 redbelts
First use splitters to reduce to 4 belts.
After that place a 4 to 4 belt balancer.
Splitt the output to 8 again.
After that you can use yellow belts.

I also suggest to set the input on ...

Science Cost Tweaker also does this. Most sciences produce scrap that can be recycled into iron/copper ore.

And ABC/Seablock has a whole heap of "I don't really want more of this here" byproducts to deal with.
