Bigger vanilla chests are not a thing, neither is excess production. The awnser lies in finding balance between supply and demand. No chest will be big enough to utilize two output belts out from 1 input belt in a continuous matter. (example: making science packs) With a second input lane there is n...

That looks very clever. I could share some pictures as well. Honor where honor is due, the designs are heavily inspired by Stevetrov's direct insertion builds. The labs are botfed.

It's certainly possible. I once made a base built around 8-48 trains. It hit 10K spm but main bottleneck was the main railroad of 8 tracks, because of the slow trains blocking intersections for a long time. My current project has the trains upgraded to 8-48-8, and a decentralized rail network to red...

Pretty sure they're referring to the fact that the icon for military 1-4 technologies include the rail gun among the other weapons they show - middle of the left side.

Correct.

Just realized the railgun is still in the game. Military research.

An obvious improvement area for Factorio would be combat area. Adding unit control (spidertron, AAI vehicles, Mining drones), and a better enemy AI could pull Factorio in a pleasuring Command and Conquer way of game. Leaving behind the engine with 1.1 would be a huge waste. But instead of redesignin...

relevant locked tread: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&p=535808#p535808 The infinite character often eventually breaks the immersion. Vanilla is too delicate on requirements for most infinite techs, without large counter balance measures. To play "infinite mode", balance ...

Congrats on reaching another stable version. And Thanks for sharing the save file.

Imagine like the spidertron, that belts would require PFR's to legitimize them. Belts would be end game tech :twisted: . Factorio can be played in many ways, and what is the essence became more and more important during the years that kept passing. While the process of making art can be considered a...

Vehicle power. We have braking force research on trains. Why not more vroom? After ludicrous research, a train can simply burn an entire stack of rocket fuel in the first tick after leaving the station and then brake the entire way to the next stop at near light speed. Braking force is not infinite...

Weekend fix; Nice!

Only the mod portal and main site look the same, wiki and forum have different layouts. A strong point of the current solution is uniform positioning and uniform look over all sites.

'Double checks for no speakers'...

Well, they clearly seem to add "Joy" to the factory. xD

You have a sharp eye. If you ask me they look like silo clamps.
Edit: better picture

The above quote from kovarex links to that issue, it's already resolved for .12. Always check if your bug is already reported, as most of the times, it is. That why they get posted in the bug section rather then in the release notes or any other tread.

Fixed for 1.1.12

More!!

Also, radar is a horrible horrible power draw . Speaking about power draw, Moduled barrel/unbarrel machines cycling barrels have been used as a power sink to burn off coal or produce extra pollution. On speed modules you can increase the power draw beyond that of radars. Agreed they are edge cases,...

Are we going to have 1.1.0 in stable before Christmas? Pretty please! ;) just run it now, as-is, in experimental mode. did you miss what just happened to CD Projekt Red? Cyberpunk2077? terrible tragedy. I think you can't really compare those. My wish would be a reunited online player base for Chris...

With 1.1.5 around, it may not hurt too much to derail a little furter onto Spidertron vehicle wagon. First picture that came to my mind: Christmas would be complete
