You can always switch to a longer time period and find the packs from the list that way.

Potato, potatoh, ye.

Your own design only has one flaw in my opinion, Medu: Those Active Provider chests. Why not make them Passive Providers so they'll fill up and jam the production process and shut down the Kovarex plant?
It's a matter of taste, obviously. I too had regular provider chests ...

I am assuming you can still produce 2 copper wire in 1 tick?
Yes. A machine can complete one craft per tick at most, doesn't matter how many products it generates.
I'm not sure how it works with productivity.
What happens as you approch this limit. I.e. 1.5 tick craft time? do you get 2 crafts ...

Wildly stabbing in the dark, is any of the files in factorio (saves) directory or the directory itself set as read-only?

Does it happen with just that one save game or with others as well?

Looks like for some reason the game can't write to some directories. Is your hard drive perhaps out of free space?

Not having permissions as stenio said is another possibility.

Technically, there is. You can't complete more than one craft per tick. I assume in case of science labs, that means you can't consume more than one "bottle" per tick.

Of course, it takes mods to ever get to that point with labs.

For example, I have a 1-1-1 train right now that goes both ways, but my train stations all have 2-4, meaning I cannot ever refuel there because it would insert everything into my wagon (though I could rotate the first locomotive).
An obvious solution would be to have different refueling stations ...

It would be nice to see how fast the research has been made over the minutes and hours, just like there are production and electricity graphs.
How would you quantify that, exactly? What would be the numbers you'd see on those graphs?

As was said, science "bottles" are shown in production ...

Tank flamethrower is excellent at clearing trees. It kills them instantly and with around 5-6 tile wide range and unlike handheld flamethrower, it won't really set stuff on fire.
Of course, you won't be harvesting those trees

It's possible to add them via mods and it's not terribly difficult. Here are a couple of examples:

Just download, extract and modify them according to your interests.

I've considered this, not sure how I want to do this yet.

Specifically, I considered making the satellite return a remote control.
You click the remote control on a spot.
Satellite comes barrelling down with an asteroid in tow.
Multiple atomic bombs levels of destruction, apocalypse and ...

It seems to be just the raw blueprint storage file from factorio root directory where the game stores them. Not sure why it's .bin and not .dat. Mine is .dat but it might be it's due to running in Linux. Renaming it to .dat worked for me.

I'm not really seeing a clean way to import them besides ...

It's been shown that a standard starting-area deposit of Uranium can power a decent factory for some 1500-2000 hours That's probably with enrichment process. When I cleare out my in-base uranium deposit, I got around 140 U235 in total. I also didn't want to spend it all since I was waiting for ...

Making that more complicated with having to deliver some acid via train to 5+ remote outposts with RSO is for me the very definition of annoying... :)

You removed evolution settings, maybe you should remove difficulty cost too and integrate it with factorio vanilla multiplier if it is not done automatically by the client when a player chooses a higher value.
Well, the "difficulty" of SCT isn't quite the same as in vanilla. In SCT, the difficulty ...

I'm using a version with no circuitry:
It's possible to achieve pretty much exact same results without circuits and fewer smart inserters and it'll be more compact to boot!

It's not too pretty (it kind of grew organically) but shows the basic idea.

The trick is ...

Thanks! Working great

I really like the idea behind this mod but I have a question, is there a possibility of allowing your custom fuel to produce a waste product that can be reprocessed similar to the spent nuclear cells?
Not without it clogging stuff up in the train. Problem is, the game doesn't really support having ...
