This FFF really makes me want to build a new computer. I mean, I don't even think all my computers at home add up to 18 cores.

You aren't. When I started using the new planners I totally tried putting them in my library, fully expecting it to work.

I tried that too. I'm still disappointed that I have to use a slot just to have a rocks and trees only deconstruction planner.

Does anyone know if there is a way to synchronize research between save games? I have a testing world (cheats enable, infinite chests, infinite energy, etc.) that I mainly use to create blueprints for use in my main playthrough. I would love to be able to ensure that I don't accidentally have access...

I think the belt "planner" would be a good idea....mostly. The only thing I think it should do, though, is place regular belts - no underground - and place them as close to a straight line from A to B as possible with a grid (Any intersecting objects marks that belt as invalid. Do not &qu...

To clarify, I would like to have a signal's/station's train visualization stay highlighted while a signal is in hand for a few seconds (maybe 5), until the hand is cleared, another signal is highlighted, or the signal is placed.

Oops. My mistake. I just pulled the top one from the FFF page and the titles are similar enough.

It isn't what I expected either, at first, but it does mean if you're trying to build a 1k SPM base, you don't have to wonder if that "60k" science packs over the past hour is really 59501. Right. The current system wouldn't make you wonder if 60k is really 59501, but the OP makes you won...

Did someone remove the blog post?

I'm getting this too.

-1 That suggestsion makes it impossible to connect a combinator to itself on one color, and to the outside with another color. Making trivial things like clocks at least two to three times bigger. Depends on the way the logic is implemented. If you are allowed to output as you currently are, on two...

I'm not sure how you expect that to work when you need multiple colors. For example I have an arithmetic combinator. Red and green wires goes to a power pole, another power pole and then green goes to a chest and red to an inserter. Do you pick colors for every wire segment? If I understand the OP ...

Wholeheartedly agree with both of those suggestions. Pain when you have to do something like that for a blueprint to function they way you want, just to forget to do it and wonder why things aren't working they way you designed them to.

TL;DR Keep the train visualization for a few seconds. What ? I would like to see the train visualization when highlighting a station or signal persist for a few seconds after moving the cursor away. Alternatively, if a signal is in hand, keep the last visualization on screen (maybe in a different c...

TL;DR Insert modules one at a time into Assembler/Chem/Refinery What? I would like to see the ability to insert one module at a time while right-clicking a stack of modules onto a building. Why? As it currently sits, if you are holding a stack of modules and you shift-click on a building, it places ...

No. If you only turn the signal green when a train has entered the block then it has to slow down. Unless your block is large enough to contain all of the breaking distance (which is insane for full speed Angels+Bobs trains). But that's beside the point. At some point in time a train will use the p...

Great suggestion. At some point when my base grows, I want to remove and efficiently place radar. This basically means spending a bunch of time going to the edges of my base, searching where the radars roughly should be, removing them, working my way inward, then replacing them all in a more efficie...

Heh. The previous signals still remain, though, so it hasn't actually broken anything past. Didn't break anything. Just been using LTN for months now, and when I finally got off my lazy ass around to making a refueling system using a dozen combinators, it's all just simplified. Don't get me wrong, ...

Does anyone know which of the following would be gentler on UPS?

EACH + 0 --> EACH
or
EACH * 1 --> EACH

I know, the reality is that they are fairly low, but (among other things) using LTN I have them setup at basically each station.

My psychic powers say that you need to adapt the setup to use the new "any locomotive" position signal, though. I was both happy and annoyed when I saw that signal arrive. Happy because it's so easy to decode now. Annoyed because I had just put together a decoder for something like 9 diff...

Do you also try to explain to them, that they are the evil ones in this narration, performing genocide on the native population?

Just play on peaceful mode. That way, no one is the bad guy. Except for those homicidal trains. They are always trying to kill me.

What about having a modifier in place (either vanilla or as a mod) that can allow a train a "priority" status which can enlarge its reserved area ahead? E.g., a train that has a priority toggled off reserves 25 tiles ahead (based on weight, speed and braking force), while the same train th...
