Best way to feed ammo is by belt or manually.
A stack of 200 lasts quite a while.

200 lasts a while as long as the turret isn't destroyed!

Then it's a very quick way to LOSE 200

I don't think any further complication of the power network (as opposed to power generation options) adds any FUN to the game, and first and foremost games should be FUN.

Have 2 belts in opposing directions both terminate at the same location, like this:

I would expect a hard boundary, but instead get a mix of items at the junction. Note the mix of iron and red circuits.

Can you add screenshots and/or blueprints of stations/stackers?

I had a similar issue.

Reloaded autosave and issue didn't reoccur, but I pasted blueprint in a different order.

That's cool.

Nice. One could guarantee that the yellow inserter never picks the wrong product by changing it to a purple filter inserter. One could also use filter inserters for the others as well , to have tighter control over which inserters do what.

Favourited - thanks!

I'll try to help, but I can't easily add pics right now, so it might be a bit unclear. I've recently watched people play like this, and also started incorporating similar unload balancing to both liquids and solids. A few assumptions I've made. 1) you have 1 pump from each wagon into 1 tank per wago...

Maybe try a 16x16 with 2 4x4 on the end, and similar for the 10x10. Loop back the unused output to the unused input.

I've had a chance to reread the feedback in a bit more detail. Really appreciate the time and effort people have gone to to help me out with suggestions. From the debug screenshot and the production tab i am under the impression that the differences between producing/not producing, is quite high. Co...

Removing pollution stabilised UPS at around 48-50. That's playable. Thanks for the input. Guess it's a combination of older hardware and pushing the game limits.

Thanks everyone for your input and "care" over my poorly constructed base. :D I didn't think about pollution, I will try that. I didn't want to be too cheaty with infinity power, etc, and I'm sure it's inefficient builds (from a UPS point of view) that is the biggest problem. I'll keep fid...

Hi @JimBarracus, I can't answer the questions about the RAM - no idea. I have a suspicion that the limitations are my system, though, not the game, as I also turned off steam/smoke, turned down the graphics detail, deleted all visible biters and cleared the map so that only areas covered by radar we...

I had a lofty target of 5k SPM, did some planning, and figured out how much infrastructure I'd need. I prefer belts over robots, and figured that with all the recent optimisations, I should have a pretty good chance. I had planned to have central smelters for copper, iron and steel, then a couple of...

Nice idea.

Thanks for looking at it. I suspect a random HDD IO error. I guess close this report, and if I get another crash in another 3 years time, I'll post the save

So I went back to the previous autosave and kept playing, so the autosaves were overwritten and I can't reproduce. I can either provide a save game from about 5 hours before the error, or a successful autosave after . Would either help? I did notice that when I first restarted after the error, the &...
