I would just like to share my 3k SPM base. It has run for the obligatory 10 hours with 6 science packs, and will also support military science. I did not focus on saving UPS, and it runs between 50 and 60 UPS on my modest PC. I don't like setting up solar, so it's powered almost exclusively with ...

Green circuits
Red circuits
Blue circuits


But I do like your suggestion

If I understood, I think you may want something like this: 0eNq1lcFu2zAMhl+l4NkuaruuUx8GDDv31N2GwVBsJhEgS4YkBzMCv/soyXUzJAEUFLskoCh+In/S0gm2YsRBc2mhPgFvlTRQ/zqB4XvJhFuz04BQA7fYQwKS9c7SjAuYE+Cywz9QZ/PvBFBabjmGeG9MjRz7LWrasEZaCpWpsWog2qAMhSjpziFMWiYw0V9B5I5rbIPvJQHKy2olmi0e2JEr7QIMyq6xqvFEqHdMGExAI ...

According to https://wiki.factorio.com/Map_generator the maximum map size is defined as 2,000,000 tiles each side. The square root of 4,000,000 ...

I'm sure I've not seen these elsewhere, but surely someone else has worked it out before! You can use the side-load-onto-underground-trick to achieve a perfect split of 1 belt onto 2 half-belts.

I raised a similar "bug" about the spidertron inventory not sorting and was advised that vehicles' inventories are excluded from sort due to performance issues. Can understand performance hits where there are likely many thousands of chests throughout a decent-sized base, but when cars/tanks/spiders ...

Very nice! My next run I was looking to build an "every science pack" module that only takes in raw materials, so this is additional inspiration.

This should help...

You can also consider installing a mod like "Max Rate Calculator" to help in-game.

Internally this is the same behavior as https://forums.factorio.com/87343


So you're saying that after using the upgrade planner, the BP is effectively saved along with the status of the "Station names" checkbox? So when the upgraded BP is available, because the station names weren't originally ...

I was copying/pasting some stations and found that if you use the upgrade planner without selecting "Train stop names", then the tick box disappears. If you select "Train stop names" before applying the upgrade planner, then the tick box is still available, but unticked.

I only tested using the ...

Excuse me being a little tongue in cheek, but I reckon you have 2 options:
1. Build the required modules so the icons disappear.
2. RIght-click the icon to remove it, and then add the modules later when they become available.

Seriously, though, I'm not aware of any way to move the "missing module ...

Sounds somewhat like the Factorissimo mod.

Feel a bit stupid now knowing that's on the Wiki. :oops: I did try searching the forum, but my terms mustn't have been accurate. I love how this game still has so much to reveal...

@disentius, thanks for the cool image - I can't see the difference in construction between the 2 setups in the bottom ...

I wasn't sure where to post this one... It's merely an observation that I've finally made after too many hours playing (plus the countless hours watching others play!) Forgive me if it's one of those things that EVERYONE knows :roll:

I was setting up a train station and due to it being a little ...

As a regular reader, and sometimes contributor, to this forum, I think it is a very polite and subtle way to provide the information without preaching. Over here in Australia, I would have no idea how to provide any financial assistance to people in Europe.

One could argue that balancing lanes and managing draw/output is part of puzzle side of the game...

I played a few thousand hours before I reailsed those 2 (logistic/circuit) connections existed on the inserter interface.

You could use a deconstruction planner filtered for "item on ground"

I'm guessing "experience"... :D

One hint is to hover a signal in your hand in the area, and the rail "blocks" are highlighted. This can show you why blockages occur.
The other thing to try is from the train menu hold Ctrl and then see how far along the track the train will path before being ...

When using smart belt dragging, undergrounds are automatically placed when an obstacle is detected. However, if there are no undergrounds in inventory, a straight belt is placed. When there are objects on the belt, this will cause side-loading. Ghost underground belts should be placed instead ...
