My understanding is the "intended" way to deal with this is like this:

The decider combinator is set to: if each > 15 send 1 of each ...which is then linked to "Set filters" on the inserter.


Good one, but this is just a good hack. This doesn't mean the problem shouldn't be fixed.

Good one.

Good one mate. Especially hard when I try to pick up something from belt or ground. Or run through a lot of pipes.

- quality boiler, nuclear reactor, and turbines are not more efficient. Just consumes more with same ratio (Always better to just build more )


That's the whole point, no?
Quality production machines (assemblers, plants, chambers...) and ALSO ENERGY production units like solar, ....., nuclear ...

Space age released. Quality.
I really need this function now.
Searched the forum, found this.
Good.
Please, give yelow storage chests trash slots, like you did to blue one. And tick 'trash unwanted'
Of cource I can just add a purple chest and a blaclisted inserter to trash everything but desireble ...

That's the whole point of adding this to the game, no?

WHAT?
I said, please, let us move space paltform hub.

WHY??
Because it's frustraiting to rebuild the whole platform around it if I need to move it 2 tiles lower. We try to build compactly.

I suppose there is a reason why you don't do this, for example a platform can't exist without a hub by the ...

If you control requests with circuit network, you can request one stack of items using selector combinator.
It has an option "Stack size" which outputs a stack of items for every signal it receives.

If you have a request larger than one stack you can also round it up to a number of full stacks ...

I believe your suggestion is a part of this suggestion.

By the way:
If I get mechanics right, cargo pad can have no more than three pods flying towards it (nevermind if pod just started or already landing). Bay can have no more than one pod ...

TL;DR
Farming platform spamming cargo pods to send a couple of science prevents arriving platform to drop its stuff quickly. Fix it.


What?
Fix it. At least implement the same mechanic as with rockets (though it's controversial) - make only full pods to drop automatically, but let manual ...

There is a throughput of a cargo bay? wtf?


Not sure which size is necessary for it to become obvious but if you want faster throughput of material , you will need more cargo bays ; if you only have 1, it will saturate easily, and you can see the hatch almost always open for a pod.

Ever ...

and didn't encounter a single asteroid until I was dragged back at Nauvis
That's not saying much, considering how a short time that would be on most ship designs (between shutting thrusters down and speed turning negative).

and asteroids spped is proporional of speed of a platform plus small ...

I very much doubt it's zero, you're suggesting that they use a different logic than for planets.


You can try it yourself. I just travel to pick on the 'NAuvis-Gleba" path (1,5k), stopped here, and didn't encounter a single asteroid until I was dragged back at Nauvis.

If I were to gusess ...

This really made me mad, searched forum, find this in 'not a bug'. What a joke.
I wouldn't expect this to be fixed. Sounds like massive code rewriting, and they don't like to resolve problem in other way even if their solution caused massive complaints (like fluid update). And we are here just a few ...

Factoriopedia tells amount of asteroids per minute on different paths in space, but it seems also grow with speed, so how?
At at least early game routes (Nauvis <-> everything else) there is a clearly defined "spike" of asteroids occurrence.
Higher speed makes you reach that spike (and, overall ...

There is a throughput of a cargo bay? wtf?

What's wrong with orbital drop slots? I place stuff here and it takes LONG time for this to be dropped on a planet. Even "inactivity" condition of 30s is not enough, platform moves away without dropping.

Is there a way to prevent biochambers to gobble up to 5 nutrients?
Biochamber in my case works not constantly. So, even provided completelly fresh nutrients, it produces spoilage. Because while it burns 1 nutrient, other 4 spoils so that adding another 100% fresh to a pile doesn't help - freshness ...

In version 0.16-0.17 were introdused 'catalysts' mechanic. Catalyst is a product of recipe that is also an ingridient. Like coal liquefaction (heavy oil), Kovarex process (235). Catalysts were no longer be shown in production statistics, and that let productivity be used in such recipes - so instead ...
