Alright. That looks good, thanks!

Glad to hear it, I got my start on these in basically the same way! :D

Your logic is quite reasonable, and I was mostly joking anyway. I wonder if you could put in a header at the 92 position for "MultiCross Expanded: 92" with a "See below" link to the spot the existing entry is in? That way the ...

Hey guys, long time no visit! Nice to see this stuff is still alive and kicking in a new home! Some really interesting new designs in the list...


I took the Parallel Multicross and...


I had worked on a more parallel version of the Multicross myself (as well as a "turbo" circuit-controlled exit ...

Whew, it sure has been a while!
I don't have time to get all caught up but I did notice this one:

btw if anyone is interested I made a variation on Tallinu's Whirlpool design

Very nice!


Does somebody still have the bp for that behemoth?? The link to the past e bin is not available anymore ...

Let's see... http://fbpviewer.trakos.pl/b/OoOTd5Vodk7EPlopltHjTMrkK2w

Interesting adaptation. That 6x6 square in the center means it would still have room for LHD signal placement. Would only be able to put a medium power pole in there with the roboport, or a nearby substation could be used to ...

Well neither of those would be the correct button with the way I have them bound. Shouldn't it simply refer to the actual "pick up/drop item stack" binding in the Inventory section, since that can be bound differently from the others (as in my case)...?

This is clearly not "working as intended." The way the tech tree revamp was described, EVERY technology entry which requires a kind of science pack that has to be researched (as in, all except automation science packs) is now supposed to list that science pack technology as a prerequisite, directly ...

Long-time player here. I fired up the new campaign to have a look at it and within the first minute discovered something not quite right. I have changed certain mouse button bindings from the defaults, and while the robot gives me the correct instructions (using the bindings I've assigned), the ...

Please, while you are changing the way the quickbar works, make sure that there's an easy way to drop an arbitrary desired quantity of a held item into multiple machines, especially as you run or drag your mouse across a row of them. For example, putting 10 coal into each furnace, or 15 magazines ...

The worst I've seen happen is for a train that was approaching the forced signal to instantaneously stop or slow until its braking distance doesn't enter the now closed block that it was approaching. But even if another train is following that one, because trains are not allowed to tailgate each ...

Well, now I'm really scratching my head! That link gave me the same file I downloaded the other day, and as I look at the contents more carefully, they do match the versions of the mods that are currently in my mods folder (which came from using Factorio's built-in mod portal to auto-update them ...

The following was presumably the result of user error, or some mysterious gremlins messing with my computer.


Sea block pack 0.2.17 has been released. Check first post for download link.

Update 2018-11-19, version 0.2.17
Reduce cellulose fiber and wood pellet crafting time.

I've been lurking and keeping an eye on developments here, but didn't really have anything to add and was busy with other things.

Thanks, but unfortunately one of the drawbacks of that system is that it has to be manually adjusted, pretty much by repeated testing, for trains of different lengths or ...

Ok, here is a saved 2-lane map.


Throughput tester 2-lane.zip


That's certainly easier to clear out for a new test than the eight-laner on the original, but why did you find it necessary to clear the other lanes all the way back to the spawners? :lol: No harm in it if all you ever test is 2 ...

The save basically is set up for that already, at least when I downloaded it pretty recently.

You literally just connect your junction to however many lanes it needs (2 lane junction? Only connect 2 lanes), change the green signal to start the trains spawning, and after about 30 seconds of them ...

If you mean you want to see a train make a U-turn (the only path which actually appears to require using the roundabout on your design), none of the trains are by default set up to attempt such a path. You can add it yourself to the template trains at the spawners in each direction, but best to do ...

During a random google search today I just spotted a comment someone made on reddit many months ago regarding my MultiCross junction designs, and I thought they had a really good point!

(I am unreasonably peeved that you have to take the second turn at an intersection in order to go straight ...

After making this system it has made me think if I could apply some variant of it to robots building things, so a robot could theoretically grab 3 inserters and build all 3 quickly in series. It's an interesting thought for another time...
This would be absolutely fantastic to see implemented ...

Yeah, it's pretty much always a trade-off between train throughput and junction footprint (size). Increasing the first inevitably tends to require increasing the second, and shrinking it tends to slow it down.

Optimizing designs to achieve reasonable throughput combined with minimal sprawl for ...

Actually, that layout looks the same as one of the layouts I built. Though I haven't examined his blueprint or compared it to mine in detail, and I wouldn't expect it to be a perfect match regardless.

I know I hadn't posted all of the variations I'd come up with for the four-lane MC, since I'd been ...
