ore line in the middle and plates on the outside or the other way around, you use a "double-sided" line of smelters and use a splitter to filter iron and copper different ways. Blueprinting is ehhhh difficult and not useful early on. Never done a mall. I'm not gonna be one of those people...

So yeah it is a bit of a huge mess, and i'm doing this topic not only to show you the 55 very good hours i spent in this game, but also how to do really "clean" factories? Like, i'm sorry i don't have the exact word in english, but a factory where everything is where it has to be, i saw s...

I use slow inserters for slow things, and generally only upgrade belts as needed. My friend prefers using fast inserters and faster belts everywhere when possible. Since the assembler ingredient limit removal I also use Assembly Machine 1 in some places where it's fast enough. That's the case quite...

In the moment the rocket becomes ready for launch the inserters pick from the wrong side of the belts and block because they cannot drop the items into the locket launcher.

Perhaps use filter inserters to only put rocket parts or a satellite into the silo?

I typically never update modded games. I prefer stable versions and mature mods and keep the game what it is when I begin until I abandon it, typically wait several months and then update and begin a new game. I have never had any severe problems with old versions. I've been using 0.17 (latest) sin...

What I have is normally pumps from the refinery area to a pool, then priority chemplants feed off that priority pool, and if the pool fills up any excess being used in trickledown conversion. Heavy Oil from refinery:> pump to HO common silo HO common silo: > pump to Lubricant(makes as much as the sy...

To help compare you could try turning on the icons for train stopping distance. I always keep them on as a warning for 300kph trains... show-train-braking-distance The distance a train will take to stop at its current speed and show-train-stop-point When a train slows down it shows the calculated po...

Isn’t this a bug?

I don’t understand, what do you think is a bug there?

The red robot arm passing through the superstructure of the power pole to the south?

which is to say pipes connect if they they are compatible, and does not connect if they are not compatible (see mockup below). With this method you can even prevent incorrect fluids ending up in your blueprints by having the fluid type of the pipe be a part of the blueprint. I just thought of this:...

With the old steam engines 0.16 is "stable", 0.17 is "experimental", but I've had no issues with 0.17 since I installed it in march (it has a lot more features and devs/veterans will likely be able to help you quicker if you use 0.17). https://wiki.factorio.com/Power_production ...

I suggest sticking with circuit reading the amount of ore on the belt as you might only require up to a dozen pieces of wire near the station as opposed to wiring each drill together...

Hello! I wanted to post this link to say how I appreciate the transparency and intent of the Factorio team... There is a vision for Vanilla and clearly indicate if the the community sees a "need" to make a mod and, based on popularity, it could be adopted if it adds to the experience. Othe...

Not sure how this slipped through, but:

You can't place or remove any item while the puzzle is "Running".

Achievements appeal to a special kind of player, getting rid of them wouldn't get that tech time back... What I would like to see (or get pointed out to me) is community driven achievements (little 'a'). I know about some (like rocket per minute, 10 rocket per minute). but crazy goals are kinda wha...

2a) Laser's got a nerv recently.

Laser base damage was decreased, but it is now affected by upgrades so its end game damage is actually boosted.

I have a few Chunk-sized blueprints for things such as rail stackers large nuclear and solar plants. I'd like to carefully align where it goes, then tell the robots to "go to it" ONCE. If I have to walk away, wait for them to get 10000 landfill it could take a long time, then I return and ...

I was gifted it on Steam and have used 0.17 since day 2. I use the mod search and install system built into factorio without issue, and the Steamfriend integration makes coop games a snap.

The blueprint library is a glorified mini-save-file system where each blueprint/book is its own small save file The Blueprint Library is a computer-centered single repository for blueprints independent of saves and worlds (I visited a Community world and copied a number of them to my personal BP re...

I believe you see your % when you go into the Achievements menu while playing the map (or at least your time vs map time). Also, it looks like it auto pauses, as in 0.12.11 they added a "-no-auto-pause" as an option: https://wiki.factorio.com/Multiplayer " 0.12.11: Added --no-auto-pau...
