Sorry, that i overlooked your answer for so long. Following my suggestion, you would move the train by manual driving forward and backward and measuring how many chain...” The idea is to be able to adjust the level from anywhere on the map via train station control. If you have to manually move the...

First, let me be clear; I know not of what I speak. That said, regarding inserters checking their destination every tick... Could they only check their destination 1 tick prior to arrival and again upon arrival? Then simply drop their contents on the ground if the destination does not support the it...

I have tried to download it again. Do I need to uninstall my original and reinstall the new version?

I am on 17.1 but can't update to any newer version. I have looked around the forums and help and faqs but no joy.

Yes the automatic update box is checked. Even when i go to Factorio.com, the option to download the latest version doesn't exist.

I am willing to help.

I can help

TL;DR Why is it you can mine rocks and trees while driving but can't repair your vehicle? What ? The car gets damaged by trees and rocks but not cliffs? This is annoying, enough, but having to leave the vehicle to make repairs while somewhat "realistic" seems unnecessary. Why not have the...

Are you guys still recruiting? I'll play.

Wow!

Hey is that a squirrel over there?

I like all the new GUI features here. Especially the ability to move the map while watching trains. I always find myself trying to do that and now it will actually work. Nice.

This is the best FFF in several weeks. I definitely agree that a standardized naming protocol needs to be established. But, we all know that nicknames will always be a part of the community experience. I always use the color of the item/entity/object as its identifier because it is easier and more i...

Update: Here are my 2d6.

I was able to create a random number generator using belts and inserters. Yes, I know it's a PSEUDO-random number generator, but it works well enough to use for dice rolling. I have attached a video in which I show the system running including a lighted display of the outputs. Let me know what you t...

FunMaker, I don't understand your suggestion. How would you send the train from station to station?

I added a better screenshot. You can see the train at "T7" and the water level in the tank shows 13K. That's because the potentiometer adjusts the level by 2000 units per "tick" with a +/- 500 unit tolerance to avoid constant fluctuations. If only it had a real purpose... Here is...

I think someone has done this before me? But I can't seem to find it. Anyway, I built a personal transport system using gates to call the train to your stop. Then you can enter the train and take it to your desired location where it will stay until called to another stop. It's great for when you're ...

This game is great. Thank you for the best game I’ve ever played. I always wanted a giant model train display and now I have one bigger than I ever could have imagined.

Small aside....
Please make the biters more relevant to the game.

I created a potentiometer using a two head train as a slider switch. I currently don’t have a practical use for it, I just use it to regulate the volume of water in a tank as a proof of concept. But there must be a use? It’s hard to see here and I don’t know how to take a better picture. But I use 1...
