Don't ignore Text Plates, it is very handy, especially when like me you're 50+, absent minded and smell of wee :D Dang, that is nice! I've been using map mode an tag's for all that :roll: And I see on the mod's forum page that is looks nice on grass too (great on concrete / bricks). Jupp - gonna ge...

OK - I added a couple of mods today... Advanced Electric High Resolution This is considered a reasonable upgrade and natural progress for Factorio.. Retooled my mall to make Advanced version solar and accumulators and changed my solar train to ship the advanced stuff and return with the normal vani...

Several of the same as listed above for the same reasons. The Fat Controller: Easier to keep track of the trains. Most of the Bobs Suite: Mainly for the updated machines. Not using the updated/modified recipes and techs. Its more to just access the MK3-MK5 stuff. Rampant: Well If I'm better, gotta ...

Again just tossing in my 10 cents promoting the LTN tracker ;) Right now I'm in the process of building 4800 SPPM base and that unfortunately is all it is.. Days upon days with building, building, building... ... building new ore sites and smelters (everywhere it feels like), green circuit plant, re...

p.s I use bob's logistics because the MK4 bot is faster and carries more, making it 5 times better at deliveries than the standard vanilla bot. This means you can use 5 times less bots to save a small amount of cpu/gpu cycle time :) Ohhhh - I had no idea!!!! :o Now that would be very interesting fo...

Right and I was expecting your issues with my wish too, and you would be right I guess. And I totally see that being able to use the feature in LTN to combine two networks since they are the same binary sum (right?) will be useful, and at some point even necessary for smooth LTN running... Right now...

The station tab is problematic for large bases. I will implement some form of filtering and/or sorting, but that is not a simple task. Also, I am not really sure what kind of filter would help. Would that be helpful? Still new to LTN and the Tracker, but now that Optera has me onto segregated Netwo...

Not using wind turbine as it is so powerful you might as well have free electricity, needs balancing a lot. Besides I love designing nuclear power plants :) Also not using teleportation. Flare stack to give it the Blade Runner look and feel :D Hey I think I would like more power without covering th...

I poked through all the .lua files and tweaked some stuff for engineering focus: I really should look into making this an actual mod, so that updates don't break on the modified files. :? Ahh the quick fix that sooner or later will come and Biter you in the rear :( Like your solar panel output idea...

this has been bugging me too

Screenshot of rocket when in map mode... As you see me marked in red there are three different inserters and a red wire in front of the rocket at launch...

If only white men could JUMP!
(seriously - land is just a few meters away...)

I use just the basics: - Progressive Running (to be able to make small steps when using armor legs, and still get full speed) - Miniloaders (because after researching and building all kinds of vanilla train stations and being satisfied that I could... I just don't want to waste the time and space d...

Hi fellow factory workers... I'm on my second mega-build (only counting successful builds), doubling my last build, and now aiming for 4800 sppm, this time with robots everywhere (belt based last time). Now, on some level I'm vanilla Factorio, but see that I use a lot of utility and helper mods - a...

This is really cool as I always have belts that only get used on one side and often several next to each other in a bus with only half filled.
Right now I'm limiting my mods, but when 0.17 is released and stable I will most certainly get back and have a go at this mod!

Speedrun: I’ve never seen a fast speedrun of Factorio that includes bots and I don’t think I ever will. Bots are not a dominant strategy when trying to launch a rocket as quickly as possible as the cost to acquire bots does not pay itself off. Nice post and comments... guess this will alway be a to...

You guys see the 3D printed express belt ehh belt I guess

Really cool with underground's as belt-buckle. Check the link here

/old dude

wow 17.24 already...

Energizer-bunnies on red-bull coding this?
I should probably quit the game and re-start as I'm still on 0.17.21

/old dude

dont forget that you dont HAVE TO make all stops LTN. The blasphemy!!! :o Isn't that automatic ban from LTN and 10 min in the shame corner? :P You do have a point that should be included in the design. Don't have the parking lot size I should for old style deliveries :? and will have to look into t...

Love the tracker... LTN became a much better tool with visual display of train data... Depot status to see if Depots are over-/under-utilized - status on inventory etc. Alerts are nice too after you turn off notifications in LTN (as you do after a while). Highly recommend this mod if you use or plan...

To optimize LTN in large networks you should assign each depot its own network id. "Depot x18 #1": Network id 1 "Depot x18 #2": Network id 2 "Depot x18 #3": Network id 4 "Depot x18 #4": Network id 8 Assign stations serviced by only one depot the same id and s...
