Re: Labs + Inserters
... instead of just throwing packs around like they're giving them away on Oprah Thank you for my morning smile! Yeah the whole thing with labs able to share science packs seems kludgy: an inserter will only take an output from a factory, so factories cannot share inputs. So having labs able to sha...

Re: Choosing train and track sizes
Thanks for taking time to share your experience, even if it is just to share my pain ;-) ... I allow LogiBots to supply my personal inventory, and to supply train fuel. So I have 2 requester chests at each source station (or output, doesnt matter). one chest supplies the front locomotive, and anothe...

Re: My tale of woe (train signal problems)
Oh I feel your pain! I have abandoned a fairly large base because there were a lot of tracks, that weren't working, and I decided it was easier to start over than to rip everything up to try to fix it. My experience: a two-way track (trains coming and going on the same track) works fine for exactly ...

Re: Choosing train and track sizes
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I agree, you have to choose pickup or delivery, mix and match is a recipe for trains running out of fuel.Greybeard_LXI wrote: ↑Sun Dec 02, 2018 8:26 pmI only refuel at the delivery station. And I plan it for every delivery station.

Re: So how's your OCD doing?
It's not really mine, I found it here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=193&t=58559&p=348726&hilit=display#p348726 But the blueprint there needs a little extra to separate the digits to separate displays. So here is a blueprint with the four numbers (P-produce, W-working, R-r...

Re: Need help
I think there is another typo in the data.extend: you have minning-drill instead of mining-drill.
Good luck with the mod!

Re: So how's your OCD doing?
My OCD is very happy looking at the OCD you have shared, thank you! :-) I feel your blueprint pain, it would be soooo helpful to be able to mirror image a blueprint not just rotate it! And I really like your number light display, would you mind sharing the blueprint you are using for that? I have ne...

Uh oh. Guys? Factorio planet already has an in-game file. It was found by modders who looked at the game code. The planet is called Nauvis which literally means 'New'. Thanks Tomik, I believe you win the prize for being the first one to point this out. Something like "Oreo". You add the f...

It seems this is a good time to send a little more love to the development team: thank you so much for what you do!

Re: Train Signals: How to stop rear-endings?
I am also struggling to learn and use train signals, so please do not think I am an expert! But I will try to explain what I do in your situation: Signals divide the tracks into segments. Each segment can only have one train, and the signal prevents the next train from entering the segment until the...

Yes to more consistent terminology!
Yes, being able to host MP via Steam is something I will use.
Thank you again for all the hard work and progress!

Re: Bulldog: Automatic Power Manager for factory lines
Thanks for sharing the design! The part I find most difficult is not having multiple paths into the factory line. I always tell myself "leave more room!" And I always find myself running out of space and trying to squish in one more little thing and suddenly everything that was nicely isol...

Re: Friday Facts #263 - Trains in blueprints
I can appreciate that some may find it frustrating to wait for upcoming enhancements. However the devs always have to walk a line between pushing out new stuff and keeping up the quality. I for one am happy for the dev team to take as much time as they need so the game doesn't break as soon as somet...
