A question that probably won't matter - Does *Net* output or *Gross* output win? I can also report that I have broken the 730MW barrier so SurprisedPikachu². For some reason my fluid flow calculations did not match effective power. I don't know why. I was too lazy for it :) Are we talking a differen...

ColonelSanders (I'm at a sustained 717.2374 MW), can you tell me how I can display more numbers behind the comma (is it a debug option? or did you calculate this from the more precise fluid count?)

I calculated from fluid count.

Personally, I would be very surprised if it's possible to exceed 730 MW in 0.18.19. OK, lets be more specific. I can confirm that it is possible to exceed 730 MW on 7 tiles high single cluster reactor on 0.17 stable if brownout resistance is not required. Well, In that case - surprised pikachu.png ...

That's all fine and good but I wasn't talking about an unlimited height tileable reactor. I was talking about this threads subject which is a single cluster reactor limited to 7 tiles in one axis. So again - Personally, I would be very surprised if it's possible to exceed 730 MW in 0.18.19. The limi...

Personally, I would be very surprised if it's possible to exceed 730 MW in 0.18.19. I have not tested nuclear 0.17 vs 0.18 yet, but I can say it is possibe to exceed 730 MW in 0.17. With these restrictions? I have built a reactor that ran about 1.6 GW but it most definitely was not anywhere near 7 ...

I'm guessing you're using the steam version of the game and it's the steam cloud feature that's doing this. I think you would have to disable the steam cloud feature for Factorio but then you would have to manually transfer your saves too. Maybe someone will chime in with a better answer though.

So tinkering with this in 0.18.19, I'm at a sustained 717.2374 MW. I think I do need the above question answered before I tinker more but looking at the UI in your video leads me to believe you're running 0.17.79. I don't have the train in just yet but I think that's pretty trivial. Personally, I wo...

Specify the required game version please. 0.18 experimental or 0.17 stable?

If you lost count, this scene contains 15,689 entities

oh ok

Definitely not 15,688.

Edit: I just went from being a red inserter to a blue inserter. How in the world am I supposed to reach the belt now?

This removed the possibility to do ghost-rail-building without the remove-obstacles, but since it seems to be almost useless, we consider it to be worth the simplification. I used this feature in literally every game. It's fantastic when you simply need to lay rail line without doubling them up. I ...

Doesn't this just force artillery? I don't see how that's a bad thing. IMHO, giving the biters a bit of siege capability to crack the player's defenses towards the end of the mid game in the form of the behemoth worms seems like a pretty good idea to me. It's really pretty much their last chance to...

Changes

• Fixed that reverse locomotive power was the same as forward.

Fun fact - IRL, this is actually true! This applies to both electric and steam driven engines.

This is probably a duplicate of this -

Thanks for the report. It's now fixed for the next version of 0.17.

Robot uprising quelled!

Actually, I'm pretty sure I was wrong there. Now I think there is something funky up with the splitters. With the following setup, I'm getting frequent mini gaps in the output belt. It sort of seems like the splitter is still doing it's thing based on the old belt speed. factorio splitter bug.png 0e...

Yes, use this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ModuleInserter

That mod not integrate into the upgrade planner, making the answer - no.
The mod also does not actually work, making the answer - no.

This is probably just this old thing -

See the bottom 3 posts for a fairly detailed explanation.

Just to make sure I'm not missing it -
Is there a way to make the upgrade planner put modules on an assembler that currently has none and remove all modules from an assembler that has them?

When did radar range start showing up on the minimap, and why doesnt it shos up on the megamap with a radar selected?

Since 15.0.0.

I *think* that the train that has been waiting to enter a block the longest gets priority and I think that it was that way in the 0.16 builds.

That being said, that behavior isn't always optimal. If it was, we wouldn't use stop lights on our roads!
