It is implemented other way.
lets asume signal of iron then
filter inserter use option "set filter"
and
use option "set stack" as a signal for stack

Then inserter is loading at full spead, iff possible but load exact amount in the end. No overshoot.

2N design - you need a massive lake which is very hard to find on the default maps, or you need mods to dig up terrain For that matter, how big a lake do you think you need? Sure, you need lots of landfill if you're doing it in a big lake, but all you really need is a lake that's twelve-to-fourteen...

2N design - wide design with lots of gaps means the power efficiency per tile is lower Hang on, what gaps are you talking about in a 2N design? My design is: x(58) * y(58) = z(3364) tiles taken 2N design uses: x(10) * y() = z() tiles taken 10 is size of two cores. Input y compute z then you will se...

https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Combinator_tutorial#Memory scroll down to Positive cell Picture do not work. It is wrong setting : Aritmetic combinator is : Signal O + value 3 correct is: Signal O + Signal 3 Naming convention of signals is unfortunate. On top, description could be better as cell ...

Thing is, heat consumes almost as much as steam. 2N design is massive system. Ah, because all the reactors are connected in a 2N, does that mean they all share the same heat network? I didn't know that. I thought the heat network starts at the heat pipes, but they also connect through the reactors?...

- each power plant can run in own processor thread Is this true? Does the game run power production in parallel? Or the fluid pipes in parallel, specifically? I thought it didn't. I suppose the updates might be simpler due to less combined pipes, but that is not an issue that is inherent to 2N desi...

too many pipes.

Thank you for response. I find a way how to save 80 pipes and make design even smaller. I hope I can handle update the first post.

I like the general idea, but 2N-designs provide much better efficiency. Lets assume you build quite large 20cores plant for 3GW 2N design - you need a massive lake which is very hard to find on the default maps, or you need mods to dig up terrain - you will need tons of landfill - you create one la...

Target design the perfect power plant in several points of view - reliability, efficiency, easy to use, build expense, UPS and the design beauty. Design incudes documentation of thermal balance, combinators and build expense. You might check why, or how it works, possibly find an improvement. The b...

hello, try this self-clocking trick https://i.imgur.com/U0dg9dh.png yellow inserter unloads as he like, and counts items. When enough items is produced, then stack inserters recive signal, they are set to filter mode. Value of constant combinator is S=11 which set value of stacks. Input inserter are...

This doesn't happen to belts, or if it does, the robots will fix it

As far as I understand, your complain is = "There is no way how to automate fixing or building trains."

Lets hope the upcoming expansion will be about vehicles. I Could imagine hundred cool stuff to add.

Current v1.21 Flamethrowers are a bit OP. issue: flamethrowers have the longest range and the biggest dmg. solution:Transform it to a support weapon which is best at slowing down oponents and secondary role is dmg hordes. Wiki: Contact damage: 3 fire Fire on the ground: 13/s fire Ignited objects: 10...

I guess, Train in the station which passed the "Iron,P,Train" wants to find a route to the station "iron". Becouse of one way system of traffic lights it cant, then it says no path. Also as post above say, train can change direction in station only. When other train leaves "...

So you might have an advertisement of A=6, B=7. A will look at that and say, "I have capacity of six trainloads, but there is a station that has more, so I will stay closed." B will look and say, "I have a capacity of seven, and no station has more, so I will open." If a train t...

Signal A goes to the medium electric pole next to the combinator that emits it, and from there is sent on a shared wire with all the other stations. So the each station of a yard has own signal. A,B,C, ... . Then a StoneDropOff yard sends A,B,C also CopperDropOff yard sends A,B,C. What do you do wi...

add one arithmetic combinator, Attach it to the boxes to Each * 1 output M then change the 14k - stones to 14k-M output circled I and connect them together. That way you normalize any material to M. Signal A is sent somewhere out of station ? Where the 14k number came from? 0eNrlWsuOozgU/RcvR6QHGzAP...

The circuits have four combinators that have to be set to the "assigned signal". Going with a more generic layout I can eliminate two of those, and perhaps a third if I make a bit more complicated circuit. I do the duplicated blueprints because it is fast, just slam down the blueprint and...

If you look at the cheat sheet (https://factoriocheatsheet.com/), a 1x2 reactor core takes 14 Storage Tanks to hold all the Steam. Every 1x2 you tack on to that adds 26 more Storage Tanks for the Steam. In comparison, a 1x2 reactor core takes 28 Steam Turbines to use all the Steam, and you add appr...

Yes it's simpler but it doesn't always function properly. Those are implementation details but consider the case of unloading sulfuric acid to a uranium patch. Most likely you can't unload 25K because you didn't wait for the buffer tank to run completly dry. So there is still some letft in the wago...
