However, the shared stone/coal belt needs to be red in that case (so that each side get a whole yellow belt of stone). In the picture it's still yellow. That's a mistake Yes, that was my point! The layout, as shown in the picture, was getting a single yellow belt of stone input so the second belt w...

... Stone bricks need two stone per craft, so it gets two stone belts instead of one

I can assure you that you are not getting any performance gain with that setup.

Are you feeding labs by taking from other labs? There is an existing issue that, last time I checked, where the devs decided not to fix it. It's basically partially consumed bottles getting merged with other partially consumed bottles. Edit: Found it. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&a...

I'm pretty sure it would take console commands to work around it and that would break your achievements. I think I remember reading somewhere that there is a way to reenable achievements on a save with a hex editor, but I don't personally know the details. The way they have been patching lately, I w...

We where talking about this in the 0.17.12 release thread too. The way the pollution evolution factor setting works has changed and the value isn't migrated on old saves. See https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=67694&p=412591#p412559 and https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?...

Loving the changes, though this will mean superdeathworld for older saves since the pollution values didnt get adjusted. Default old pollution value converted to 150 in new system, when new default is 9, meaning 16times more pollution. My evolution jumped from 30sh to 80+ in about 3hours before i n...

Tried it again trying to avoid doing some things that I thought where possible causes, but crashed again in the same spot.

Use the automatic updater if you can (check experimental updates in other settings)

Woohoo!

Updated from 0.17.8 to 0.17.9 just fine.

It's not mandatory you update for every versions. http://prntscr.com/mu9tmb Not everyone uses steam for Factorio (i don't because i don't want to see how many hours i have played :P ) Doesn't change the fact that you don't need to download the most recent update every time it's posted. Yeah, we don...

Did you want the projectiles to home in on you? You know what would probably work pretty well? Let's say you keep track of the player's average speed and direction over the course of 6 different lengths of time. Something like - 0.1 seconds 0.2 seconds 0.3 seconds 0.4 seconds 0.5 seconds 0.6 second...

The frequency of fixes/updates is awesome, but is there any chance you could focus on fixing that updater next week?

Pretty please with cherries on top?

Yep, duplicate. I searched but didn't find it.

If you're in sandbox mode and you have a full inventory and you have an item in your hand and press "Q" to put it down, you will get "can't put away XXX, player inventory is full". To quickly reproduce - 1 - Start a new sandbox game. I don't believe the settings matter. 2 - All t...

In what way are buffer chests better at this than storage chests? assumption: you have a bot-based mall you put a bufferchest as the output storage for an assembler you limit the production with a limit for the output inserter you set the request for the produced item to a higher number disasembled...

Just to be 100% clear - Belt throughput (both sides combined) is the listed number. Half a belt is half the number listed in the game.

I have never seen the amount of performance hit really quantified. AFAIK, the best way to find out would be do do some !!SCIENCE!! on it.

If you like adventure, hop into your tank and go exploring.

No oil means no tank. You can use a car though!

Without more info (pics), my best guess is that you're putting the signals on the wrong side of the track. Signals must be on the right side of the track from the POV of the train.

I'm pretty sure @Rseding91 said that artillery scans at a constant speed though. So the UPS degrade would have to be soley based on "more map == more biters", in which case it should settle once the artillery has killed them all off? The problem with that line of thinking - The range of t...
