How to recreate?

1.On a platform let a hub be filled from a belt by a item1 with a low speed of 1-3 item/s.
2.Create a request on a cargo landing pad for a stack of item1.
3.Add an inserter which immediatelly removes any of item1 from a pad.
4. Repeat 1-3 for item1-item3. (carbon, iron ore, space ...

The answer from our game design is that we consider bacteria cultivation not using catalysts as being intended.


Well I guess not big deal breaking this mechanic sinse it isn't even mentioned in game itself, only in wikipidea. Just a tiny exception for an unwritten rule.

By the way, if I ...

Hm.... i could fix that, i will ask in our game design channel about this, it always felt gleba is too easy.

-- edit:

Given this is already recognized and described on factorio wiki, i am going to move this to Not a bug.


Don't know why someone decided to describe on a wiki reported bug a day ...

Seems fixed?

On 2.0.24 the recycler with no modules or boosting is recycling concrete in 1.25 seconds. Which is consistent with the wiki, which says time cost is recipe time divided by 16, times 2 because of recycler speed 0.5

Concrete recipe = 10 sec. 10/16 = 0.625. 0.625 * 2 = 1.25.

Which is ...

You can effective already do this anyway by controlling the requests by checking against local need vs network availability.
What would seem more useful is if bots would divert on route and dump elsewhere if the request they were about to satisfy was cancelled.

Unless you means for non-circuit ...

One (mabye?) unintended consequence I can think of right away is that if you get bottlenecked on an ingredient, then only the single highest-priority requester chest will ever receive any of it.


Only if you intent it to be that way.

I'd suggest that default level of 'priority' would be 5, for ...

Module descriptions don't mention which modules cannot be used in beacons

Beacons are after modules in a tech tree, modules don't know about beacons.
A beacon mentions what kind of modules it can use.

Did you add this for a round number or what?

Like splitters, I should have a way to prioritize my resourse flux for different production blocks.

Earlier simple "if there is a lot of product in a system, stop" and "if there is too little of resourse in a system, stop (let it be used by other block of production) was enough for me. Even in the ...

Damn, nice one! Thank you!

Is there a way to destroy items automatically on Fulgora other than recyclers?
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=121103&p=650615#p650615

Wanted to report this bug as well. Searched the forum, it's already reported, month ago without response. Bummer.
Yep, the recycling time should take into account how much product recipe is making. Concrete should recycle 10 times faster.
It's annoyng how much recyclers I must put to destroy ...

How do I do this simplier?

I want to filter signals of all qualities of an item type (green chips, for example.) Maybe some function of new combinator I missed?

One more recent change in how this behaviour triggered discussion, Boskid responded to it, said he did this.
https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=634472#p634472

Now behaviour is inconsistent and unpredictable. I don't think player should tweak and blueprint those parametrs if they just want ...

I heard devs returned Sandbox mode. But I for some reason has god-mode (without a player) but not a creative-mode (I have all techs unresarched and don't have unlimited items). How to enable creative mode?


Try the command "/cheat all". I hope this is the answer you were looking for


Nice ...

It's a bug because now you literally can't benefit from belt stack size bonus in one of three builds - recyclers. Like you do in two other - big grills and stack inserter.
For example, recycler gives 1.5 items/s, but you can't place more than 5 of them on one side of yellow belt even if you have ...

Now recyclers are bad working together int the same belt. First ones contaminate a belt laying items by one, while last ones don't have space to place.
Just let recyclers work like big mining drills. They don't lay ore on a belt until they have a full stack.


With quality modules that could ...

I think this issue just have to be addressed. Maybe put in in bug section, I don't know.

Searched a forum before suggesting exactly this.
Fully agreed, it should be implemented, even though there is a hack to solve the problem.
