I have seen megabases that are less than one percent that size, and that only because of their pollution cloud, not because they actually used that much land.

If you think something other than the map size is the problem, you'll need to post a save, not just screenshots.

Also, I'd directly enable and disable the inserter, rather than removing power. If later add another electric pole to this system, the new pole may also supply power to the inserter. Disabling the inserter is harder to mess up accidentally.

The same underlying reason, that 6+1 is not divisible by 2, applies there too. I doubt that's going to be changed, but you can work around it by making trains with an even number of engines.

Why do you think auth.factorio.com has something to do with this? I don't see any mention of that in the log you posted.

The forum has a size limit on uploaded files. Upload the desync reports somewhere else, such as Dropbox or Google Drive.

The only thing that ever uses 1024 is bits and bytes, and that only when it's not written by a marketroid. I don't think even Hz ever uses 1024, and pixels certainly don't. (That "4k" screen uses 960.) So 1 GW is 1,000,000,000 watts. But if the 2.4% difference is significant, you should pr...

If you look at the power graph when you remove the substation in the radars, you will see that the accumulators and interface both start charging immediately upon removal of the load.

Help me please, where I can find rubber trees? They are supposed to appear near bodies of water and/or in grasslands. But not at all in the starting area; you'll have to go exploring: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=69187&p=458473&hilit=rubber#p458473 If you're using s...

Rseding says "electric energy interfaces (the one the base game defines) has the same usage priority as accumulators". Why would you then need (or want) to change them to be the tertiary, the same as the hardcoded value for accumulators?

Anyway, I haven't seen any benchmarks on the effect of grid on train pathing costs but the devs have claimed they are costly. Do you have a source for that, or are we just supposed to believe you? The only mention of "grid" in Bilka's link is talking about cars and the collision grid, not...

But because the interface has some weird priority and it's not an accumulator, power never goes from accumulators to the interface. I believe this statement is incorrect. The interface is an accumulator, just one with at huge capacity and a huge maximum output. Accumulators will never draw power fr...

A mod-free trick I've seen is to stick labels on the map view. So when you're looking for bauxite, but find rutile instead, you add a label to the rutile field, and next time, when you're looking for rutile, there it is, already labeled.

I don't see anything obvious, then. Please post a save from before the train leaves the previous station.

Where is the train trying to go?

It certainly isn't trying to go to the disabled trainstop, but that doesn't help me figure out where it is going.

64-bit computing in some form or another was introduced in 1961. (Yes, one nine six one, almost sixty years ago.) Most PCs today use x86-64, which was announced in 2000 and first available in hardware in 2003. 64-bit Linux has existed since 2001, and 64-bit Windows has supported it since 2005. Unles...

I believe I've seen something like this before, and I think it helps to post a save from before the biters get stuck. Possibly even after you fire your artillery but before it arrives.

If you want to use only DyWorld, you can use tanks and circuit-controlled pumps for this purpose. I, however, recommend that everyone should use Advanced Fluid Handling for all their fluid handling needs. I recommend it for its many wonderful not-valve parts, but you can use only its valves if you s...

But server room... Airco, UPS, sealed temperature controlled room, backup system please. Lol, why would they need that? They aren't hosting anything critical. "Not critical" doesn't mean "no backups". This forum isn't critical, but it should still be backed up. mods.factorio.com...

the offshore pump can handle 50 iron steam turbiness and 25 heat exchangers. Yes and no-but-it-doesn't-matter, respectively. The calculation is similar to that for nuclear power plants: A single heat pipe heater consumes 200 kW, and produces at 500% efficiency, so it produces 1MW. Then count how ma...
