I offshore pump can pump enough water for up to 10 steam engines. 17 boilers heat the water exactly enough to power 13 steam engines. A common ratio therefore is 1 pump + 14 boilers + 10 steam engines. Technically this setup only needs ~13.1 boilers, so you can get away with 13 boilers instead, and ...

I used bots once few years ago and decided to not use them ever again. For me they're annoying and looks ridiculous like flying bugs. My entire factory is based on belts. I use only construction bots with personal roboport to handle blueprint and sometimes one roboport with bots to move content fro...

This was implemented because placing floors near water would mess up the terrain. but if you go into your factorio folder -> Factorio\data\base\prototypes\item and open demo-item.lua. in here (in version 12.33) you'll see right at the top: { type = "item", name = "stone-brick", i...

Good job on necro'ing this thread

But I agree 100% with this. Also on windows 10 default theme you can't see the mouse at all.

That's pretty neat what you did there. Mind if I borrow this for future versions?
I had considered splitting this mod up into several modules or mods (especially the enemies from the rest) but decided against in the end.

This actually looks kinda awesome! Would it be possible to add a config to enable/disable parts? I honestly don't like the turrets, (i mean they are cool but with 4+other mods it becomes very overwhelming to have 2 kinds of Mk1 Mk2 mk3 and cannon turrets) I usually disable parts myself but that doe...

And who is this cute little fella?

That cure little fella is the base game defender robot. The capsule dispenser was loaded with a defender capsule, a poison capsule and a grenade.

Yes, i can change that in my personal game.

But can I do something in MY mod to disable that pop-up for everyone that installs my mod?
Or is creating a new scenario that is just freeplay without those lines the only way to do it?

Every time you set a rocket without a satellite in it, you get a pop-up that you did that and the game pauses.

Is there a way to disable this pop-up?

When calling
it return 0 or 1 (the numbers) instead of "item" or "fluid" (the strings) as the api indicates.

You can always use the deconstruction planner on the dropped items

Yes, that's the best solution I can find (so far). Since the belt and the hopper are different entities but tied together, the hopper gets destroyed when the belt is removed (and vice versa). But when the hopper gets destroyed it either gives the items to the player or if that's not possible (eg, in...

Combinators always did that, but when they don't have power they no longer change their output based on the input.

Even the wiki says its 13.393 items/s.

New version should fix that: download/file.php?id=11375

Let me know your experience now.

Just as an FYI, per the changes coming to the circuit network, any chest will be connectable to the circuit network, and being just a smart steel chest, the smart chest is going away in 13.x. It's listed in the changes stated here: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-138 [...] I am aware of this...

https://forums.factorio.com/download/file.php?id=11118 While this is a clear improvement over the current situation, I still don't see the need/use of two bars. I still think you can combine those bars into a single one with a marker for maximum power generation. Could you explain why you need two ...

Yes, that's even better!

Trains always go to the closest stop with the name on their schedule that is available. That makes sense. While typing my post, I saw one go to the other station and wondered why it did. I must be that it sets the path right as it leaves the station and not on the fly. I guess I assumed it was dyna...
