Really? We're doing this? Fine, if you want me to spell things out then, let's have a look at these "well founded arguments" as you put it. Here are my quotes of you from my earlier post:
If you are exhausting ore fields in megabase stage then you are doing it wrong. Resources are effectivly ...

I seem to remember some mods that had solar panels output heat on heat pipes, but I don't remember any outputting steam directly, or varying its temperature.

I think what I meant with another fuel source for boilers is that you could use coal, solid fuel, etc to run the boiler. This just adds solar as one of the options. In my mind, anyway.

I’m not sure about the rest. I mean, technically speaking, you could achieve the same thing with the other fuel ...

No-one is exempt from the powers of Koub the mighty. Don't try him. And are you sure you should be the one pointing fingers here?

Unlike you, I point out the exact segment I take issue with. You and your friend fury are the ones who responds to a well-founded argument with variants of " No u ...

this would be nothing more than another fuel source for boilers.[*]

* Steam engines/turbines

I think solar boilers would be different because you could make things more complex by having the temperature from solar boiler steam change over the course of the day, which would make for some very ...

Aren't the lights by the rail signals supposed to be red when the circuit is holding the rail signals at red? At that resolution I can't tell if the circuit is controlling the 2 rail signals or not.

Edit: found the problem: the blueprint is missing a green wire from the substation that's between ...

[Koub] Please, keep focused on the topic, not on the people and their rhetorical quirks :).

I think I should be allowed to take exception when said quirks serially demean other people's ideas and methods with unsupported hyperbole or double standards, BUT

back on topic, as you say, I'd like to ...

I predict that someone will ask for a way to detect the appearance variations so they can be sorted back out

I agree, and if you can convince the devs of this I would be very happy. Unfortunately that doesn't seem likely, though, judging from past statements.

Yeah, I'm reasonably sure that this problem is emergent behavior from the facts that trains ignore their own reserved blocks, and that the circuit holds the signal red. In your video, you can see (from the pathing markers) that the left train gets permission for the problem block first, and paths ...

You can't say it's the only requirement on a world where there's no space to find. If you need to do other things first then it's a lie. But you don't have to kill the natives if you disable them. Your statement leads to a logical Qonclusion. I didn't assume, I Qoncluded.
Then I believe I can ...

If you're using the same signal to control all the waiting bay rail signals together, this should fix everything:

Probably caused by this:
Red signal is generally ignored when the train reserved for the block is the same as the one trying to go through. The rule is there since forever and it can't be easily removed.


Is there some reason you can't use the train stops to control your trains (with a circuit ...

It would help if you didn't make erroneous assumptions about how other people play, for a start.
You pointed out the solution to the blueprint placing problem yourself in the linked post: multi-stage prints. If you have orientation markers to work off, it doesn't matter if the main one takes a ...

Made one more change to 238 distribution to Kovarex for better efficiency and to handle an obscure case of potential partial backup if the inner lane of Kovarex output gets blocked up by 238 when there is no left lane bus usage of 238 and processing is saturated.

Blueprint and images in the first ...

Why shouldn't they be a primary source of power?

If your argument is that it's boring tedious work that can't be automated to place down solar blueprints, ask for Recursive Blueprints to become vanilla. Then it's possible to automate it, and it becomes the least brainless way to build your power ...

See 70684 . What I thought was a more general bug turned out to be very specific.

When you tell a train to change its destination by clicking one of the station play buttons in its schedule, it ignores the following restriction:

Changes

When a train performs path finding while in a chain ...

Ah, yes, I am solidly in the ammo camp, as I run my base defenses on gun turrets and burner inserters, so my effective consumption can be considerably higher than 2×238/s, while conversely, it's only a minor inconvenience if my nuclear plant starves and the lights go out. (Also, there is no "The One ...

Well that's the true Factorio solution to any problem, obviously, but you have to notice the problem for that to happen, and auto-throttling Kovarex provides a stopgap measure that doesn't drain your dwindling supply in the meantime.

I know, but that 238 has a disturbing tendency to evaporate when you realize that shooting and shelling biters is so much more fun with URANIUM!! The case I'm worried about is where your consumption of 238 outstrips production, because with your design Kovarex will be taking its piece of the pie ...
