For clarity sake, you probably should say "rounded down to the nearest integer"


That *hurts* my programmer brain because it's self contradicting... I think I know what it means but my brain thinks it's some kinda cruel buddist khone or something.

That being said, I checked the wiki for an ...

At most one of these statements can be correct .

I'm pretty sure that it's truncation but It's possible that I'm wrong. It has happened!

This is a prototype design I have been toying with to achieve something we do IRL all the time.

Imagine that we have our main base area and out somewhere in the distance we have an outpost and that these two things are connected by single track with bi-directionally running trains.

In factorio ...

Is it possible to check how much fluid is in a fluid wagon in order to disable a pump?


For a train at a train stop, you can read its contents through a circuit connection to the train stop. That is the sum of all wagons rather than an individual wagon, but it is the closest you can get ...

How often do players get overwhelmed later in the game, and then use robotics to completely dismantle their base and start over more organized? Like lay out a bunch of storage chests, select the entire factory, and dismantle that thing?

Getting back to the original question.


K, here's my own ...

I wouldn't be surprised if something similar has been done before, but this is my solution to a specific problem -

Imagine you want to load a specific wagon or some arbitrary number of wagons with a specific arbitrary amount of bulk goods and this number does not correspond to the stack size. It ...

Once the covarex process runs you are right. When you switch over to emptying the chests you probably won't get them empty for a long time at least. It's a bunch of train cars full to get the first 40 light uranium. I hear some people put it in a wooden chest and shoot it.


The '"dark" uranium ...

One Covarex centrifuge with 2x productivity modules 3 surrounded by beacons produces an U-238 every ~8 seconds.


Well, there's 2 reasons that just ain't gonna hunt in my eyes.

Ups, I mend U235. You get tons and tons of U238 from the ore directly.


Well, I mean, disregard that post ...

It could of course be made better with circuit or belt magic so that the first centrifuge doesn't stockpile uranium 235 and let it be available for a second machine. Which is a nice challenge :)


A nice challenge with a remarkably simple solution discussed at length here :) .


Personally, I ...

Well, there's 2 reasons that just ain't gonna hunt in my eyes.

A u-238 every 8 seconds is wholly insufficient for ammo production. That barely covers my average consumption and ammo ...

That totally explains it. I usually set up one or two as soon as I research centrifuges and let it churn away on uranium. Then by the time I have Covarex I likely have the 40 U-235 needed.

Well you see, one centrifuge works out to (with a degree of randomness) approximately 40 u-235 in 19 hours ...

Thank you both


I'm gonna give you a heads up here. I have seen two different youtubers try this and both ended up with the same problem - LAG. Those vehicle mods are heavy on the scripting and they'll eat your frame rate PDQ. It's doable if you have a good system and you keep your goals modest ...

Does AAI let you read some sort of docked vehicle ID like train stations do?

If so, I would use that to detect when a vehicle leaves the station and reset all memory when that happens.



The design spec I gave myself is LTN but with cars


I'm gonna give you a heads up here. I have seen two ...

That's good to hear you plan to share :)



🤣 Thats awesome



Very impressive.



Wow, blueprints please.


I'm glad you guys enjoyed that. I'll share the tools I made once I have them in a more user friendly state. ATM, they're just kinda kludgy.




Did you make them by hand or did you ...

I'm gonna kind of group some of these general thoughts together so as to avoid multiple posts. Not trying to misrepresent anyone's point or anything.


I just find it uggly. And then you always design the chest field to small and at some point it's full and you only notice because you have a ...

Edited - disregard this post. had a mistake where I read some numbers from the wrong save.

too bad it's too big for blueprint x)


They're actually blueprintable just fine. A lot of that work is done with just a custom blueprint tile book and manual touch ups. I wrote a custom java tool to help with the more intricate designs in image A. That would be the trinity knot (but not it's ...

So... I guess I'm running on celtic power now. That's green right?

That’s awesome.

Thanks!

I agree with nosferatu. You certainly do not need nuclear to launch a rocket. It will cost you tons of research, resources and time to build that you can better spend launching the rocket. If launching the rocket is all you want to do then nuclear is the wrong thing. You don't even need solar ...

And by the time you get to nuclear you should have fields and fields of solar panels like I do, so it’ll take quite a few reactors to run your factory.



Here's the thing from my perspective -
Solar is pretty expensive, takes up a ton of space, and is very boring. Sooooooo boring.

I will only ...
