How do I decide this value?
It depends how much product you want to make.

You can really pick any number that seems reasonable.

Re: Slight reduction of rocket launch animation time

I feel like the rocket silo just needs a rework in general: The irritating timings (This topic) The strange power consumption (https://forums.factorio.com/93176, https://forums.factorio.com/78854) The inability to insert more than one inserter hand of fish at a time (https://forums.factorio.com/78854)

I think it would help a lot to add mini poles that you place just to route the wires through them.

Implemenation wise the power poles could be electric poles with 0 copper connections and 0 height.
I use constant combinators with no signals as “mini poles”

Why is the now-removed lamp power consumption not a minor issue (https://forums.factorio.com/100109), but this much larger gameplay changing (when launching space science packs for fish it is impossible to insert more than ten because the rocket will launch without power) bug is considered a minor i...

and are the only thing you can use to send manual circuit signals without opening up a combinator interface.
you can also rotate an inserter that reads hand contents, but that only works for pulses.

Re: Version 1.1.40

Could the server account for the ban reason, the ratio of banned to unbanned players, or employ some other set of criteria to weight bans? Some multiplayer games (especially on modded games where few people ever try to join) will ban every joining player instead of using a password.

Re: Option to limit what trains can arrive at a train stop

The first would means that when ore is low then trains would go to both stations. Making the trains take even longer and cause more of an ore shortage. It would do the opposite? Even if it did do that, the problem is not lack of ore concentration, it is not enough ore production. Changing the train...

Re: Add a heat generator option for modders

With this setup, there are two main problems. First of all, it is needlessly complex and confusing. Secondly, I need to prevent players from transporting the heat fluid via pipes. I've addressed the second problem by making the fluid units incredibly small. This way, pipes don't have enough through...

Re: Option to limit what trains can arrive at a train stop

The problem with stations accepting multiple types of trains is that they have to be named the same way as the station that accepts only one type of train of each type. The goal is that the station accepts trains with the original schedule for the each type of train. So for example ore trains for t...
