How many off-shore pumps are needed to fill 1 pipeline? I heard 2.5 but from practical testing with boilers/steam engines, I consistently see that 1 off-shore pump fills 1 pipe despite not being at 100 water. I'm asking because it's much easier to build 2 off-shore pumps near the water, and both usi...

thanks for all the comments, the factorio community has been more helpful than any other forum I've been on in 20 years. And this was my first post. Is there a thread where people post their factorio track design including junctions? I want to see what kind of designs other people came up with. Also...

ok I didn't knew that trains refuse to enter a track if there is a signal on their left but not their right... my fault, sorry. By that logic, this should work fine (See pic 1 and 2) 3337.jpg 3336.jpg As for mergele... shouldn't it be like this though? With a chain signal at the entrance, so that tr...

''One thing you can add on this one is a pair of chain signal on each side of each diagonal portion of the round about.'' I don't understand what you mean. Add signals inside the roundabout? I assume that doing it will filter what the train is looking for... right now, it says ''only one train can ...

Why would trains need to turn around? If you really need to you can just have a circle in your rails like here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1795679522 And your stations could then look like this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1795679676 or this htt...

How do you generally make the trains turn around then? Take these stations that I have for example in the photos. The fundamental problem is that I need tons of space and it's not flexible.

Most of my stations are in fact crammed up like that.

I didn't expect a novel of a reply but I appreciate it. It would be better to have all one way tracks but I couldn't figure out how to force trains to do it. Most areas simply do not have room for the train to turn into a circle and the tracking required would be MASSIVE, as well as me having to con...

I'm fairly new to the game and I'm trying to figure out more efficient ways for train lines. I'm thinking that the lanes on the west are better than north, the north side is taking up more space. Trains can just go inside the roundabout to switch from one side to the other. I'd say maximum 4 lanes p...
