Just to make sure I got this right:
If I have a chest (wood,iron,steel) and I place this connector next to it, I can see the chests content in the wire-network ?

And (since both are 1x1) I can use 1 connector to check the content of 4 chests (or control 4 whatever) ?

Not at home right now, so images will follow later. And please note, I only use vanilla-stuff, cause I hate being dependant (is this the right word...) on mods. My main-train-hub consists of 5 unloading lines with inserters>active provider chests, a big storage-chest-grid (for ~750k items) and a fle...

No, but I forgot it

To be honest, that number was false... ._. I did the math, and with the amount of ore in my train yard storage and on the belts, my factory can run at full speed for ~1,5 hours. Don't know, how long my oil would last, without the oil-trains though. @Kovarex I hope for something like TTD, where you c...

Trains are the backbone of my factory. Without trains, my factory would shutdown within minutes. The car & tank are the more useless stuff. I have a outpost-train with many items I need to set up an outpost & connect it to my existing network. I used to use the car for that, but the train ca...

The reason, why I like trains in factorio? Once you set your train loading / unloading up, you don't have to change it anymore. With a good railway setup, you can just connect the new outpost to your network, and you're done. And if you want another outpost, just add it to your network the same way....

Oh, whoops, it looks like I took that one...

The Monkeylord isn't a spider though, it's more like a beetle

Oh, please God, make the spider like this:

I've read this some time ago:

Belts are the basic
logistic bots are good to move a lot of stuff over short distances (I use them mainly inside my train loading / unloading area)
Trains are good to transfer lots of stuff over long distances.

He's talking about the campaign. There isn't (afaik) any inserter upgrades or laser turrets. It's been a while since I last played the campaign, but if you have access to blue inserters, use them instead of the yellow ones. You should refill the turrets by hand every now an then, and use the inserte...

I'm optimistic

Any time waiting for a computer is wasted time, doesn't matter if it's 10 seconds or 2 hours.

(I test ATMs and they have to reboot multiple times during the tests, which takes ~7 minutes EVERY time)

I expected the little lever on the bottom left of the switch would move as well when you togglethe switch on or off

Lube ? I'm a healthy man I don't need any L... Oh, you mean the green stuff.

I usually use pumps with wires connected to a lube-tank to control the amount I have around (who need >1k anyway).

These are some thoughts I came up with, and I can't really judge if it's better or worse than the standard builds. Generally you build your steam engine line with 1 water pump, 13/14 boiler and 10 engines. A pipes maximum throughput is equal of a single water pump. A tank is having 4 connection poin...

wait what ?
ghost trains O_o

I guess the reason, why so many zombie games exists, is, that you need barely any ai. I mean, they are the dumb, brainless undead. All they do is walking (crawling, rushing depending on the type of zombies) towards the player and chewing on everything in front of them. Oh, and dancing when nobody lo...

I simply added factorio as a external game to steam. This way the steam-overlay works, as well as steams screenshot-function (including the ability to upload them to steam as well).

Currently all my outposts contain (at least) a Roboport with a few robots. I have a single train running around from base to all the outpost and back. The train transports a single stack of walls, turrets, repair packs and ammo. Once it reaches a outpost, I use filtered smart inserters to take a set...
