Well, I am trying to build another extremely high throughput factories and currently have architectural block designing storage system. Here are specifications i am looking for: - Can accept 5 express belts of resource at once, - can provide 5 express belts of material at once - If possible only use...

Likewise Ido not believe this to be a problem. Problem would've been if it severely nerfed belt throughput. Not to mention use of faster belts for corners effectively solves the issue leaving only blue belts. These would need belt buffering for corners or be used only in straight lines. Both strateg...

Belts excel during two stages of gameplay: - early on while factory is small and logistic bots aren't researched - extreme late game, when material throughput overwhelms roboports. http://i.imgur.com/39pVSvF.jpg Above is my usual way of constructing long-term factories: - Y-axis adds new products to...

Blueprints cause visible game slowdown when during placement mode.

EDIT: Apparently roboports cause similar lag before placement when their area overlays are visible.

EDIT 2: average FPS drop from pure 60.0 to 26.1

If I ever needed to place tracks through the forest I would just walk straight shooting shotgun - provides enough clearance

That or roboports for even greater finesse.

Just to nitpick - your spoiler is wrong on both accounts.

Considering the actual suggestion:

the suggestion seems solid, but will add more complexity to the game. Judging how satisfied devs with current complexity I would assume this would be very low level priority thing.

Can you post a screenshot? I am getting lost of what exactly causing the slowdown. Are you by chance unload directly to the belt from the train?

I am ambivalent about this - I simply wanted to help you avoid this problem at this moment.

I think we should not.


Want faster inserting speed? build more inserters. Simple.

try removing walls a bit further away. mining range is much shorter than deconstruction range.

Thats why 1st thing you do at unloading station is get it to some decent storage first ask questions later. With roboports it is much easier, but without I would go for a ton of express belts, preferrably long (extra buffer) and in many cases with double or triple intake (in case of a clog) http://i...

You can balance train stations without bots, it will be ugly however. Using splitters it is possible to segment incoming material into even chunks and fill chests that way. It is possible to have 1 belt per chest but it would take tremendous amount of space to pull off. Better to stay somewhere in t...

They have larger radius than player by 1 chunk.

I must say I can't see why this would be super useful, but someone on the Show Your Creations forum showed he uses cargo wagons as boxes with up to 6 inserters on each side. A bit hackish, but I guess it works for now... edit: Here is the post I was talking about: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/...

we have exosuit, and you can shoot from the car..why invent a bicycle?

wrap the belt around the chest = 4 inserters per chest.

Edit: or place chests 1 tile apart then use inserters to move all items into single chest.

technically you can: make toggleable steam engine and power pump with it.

Would be more viable as something else:

signpost where player can write stuff

specific statue similar to terraria ones.

MC frames are a poor choice IMHO

why?

Yes, I know you hate the early game and have the beeline for trains memorized. :) But giving more REAL choices in the early game makes it more re-playable for people who are interested in that stuff. Thing is - its not a real choice. 1 extra resource is a humongous hindrance. compounded by broken b...
