Other people read this. Even vanilla ideas are interesting to ME.

not clear which "?" are u answering to,and the two "?"s have different meanings

That was a joke. In this case it means: both ways are very good, do whatever you want.

I'd say: if in doubt, try something new you haven't done before.

Very good topic. I also have "The Great Recycling Station" where all possible and impossible items are sorted, buffered, and then redirected to the production bus, or to the raw material bus. I don't like storage chests and don't have whole-factory-network area because of the chaos. I do b...

...with warning "your gamesave will be X times larger". Really, does anybody know how many MB/GB it takes to record all moves? What if I decide to continue to a megabase after the first rocket?

Nobody knows what the tag /s means

Better flame-tower only or flame + laser-turrets? Flamethrowers are slow to respond and misses very first biters, so you need laser/gun turrets for them. I think it is possible to build defense without turrets, using only flamethrowers (and repair bots of course), but such design would be more comp...

Should the relative throughput consider train size? Longer trains -> larger footprint -> less value, on the other hand, longer trains -> more cargo wagons -> more items moved -> larger value, do they compensate each other?

No, I missed that. I did not found yellow color on the graph and skipped the following text . You know, browsing nowadays is about skipping 95% unnecessary information, this works on a driver layer

Nevertheless... 1% is still unexpected.

First thought: wtf???
Second thought: lets make the graph correct.

Of course, small and large intersections are not comparable. I would like to compare small vs small, large vs large, buffered vs buffered and so on.

I just thought, we need new metric: throughput/chunk. Some crosses have outstanding throughput, but hell, they are HUGE

And moving one combinator 2 tiles with all wires still connected - not possible.

Picker Dollies mod.

I just came to say... yet_another_shut_up_and_take_my_money.gif

In a "real" game - including mining etc and transporting items, and less UPS-optimised production - the reduction would clearly be less. I took my real 430 SPM factory and replaced 3.8 GW nuclear power to electric energy interface. Nuclear: 320 UPS. Electric interface: 380 UPS. Looks good.

Players have different motivation, I'm not sure if it is worth arguing about that. Personally, I use nuclear, because solar is too simple, it's boring, it's for kids. Please don't say I'm wrong, this is how I play. But I still want UPS, so gGeorg asked right question. I'd like to hear an answer like...

First, don't ever put tracks closer than 4 tiles apart (your exit tracks, and the two middle tracks of your mainline are both too close). Because of how the game works, it is physically impossible to correctly signal the layout you have now.

There are no problems with 2 tiles spacing.

Here's another 12 train length intersection, this time with no smaller version:

Can someone make a video how trains are moving through this wavy intersection (in map mode)? Should look pretty

I confirm, it is not implemented.

If there are so many requests, developers could make a little exception even if it is "game unrelated" feature. This does not mean devs should embed web browser in the future, there's no case law in a gamedev :) Mutiplayer determinism sounds like unnecessary overcomplication for me. Can it...

and I'm on ~138PPI with a 100% UI scale.

This forum definitely needs button "me too" "+1"
