Your loader looks quite good, similar to:


But Madzuri came up with a circuit build which is much more compact:

When would it be better to have multiple rails and stackers rather than having a bigger train with more locomotives? I don't personally build them so this is speculation but Megabases would require multiple trains. They consume so many resources that you need to be simultaneously mining multiple or...

This reactor was covered in a Xterminator video. Unfortunately they didn't do it justice, failing to get it started, not mentioning the critical features and made disparaging comments about steam storage and smart builds. From the looks of them yours was the only reactor design series which smoothly...

Can't seem to understand how to make this work on 0.15.16 I have the onscreen icon, I configured it to upgrade red belt to blue and tried it on a blueprint containing red belt. All went as expected. But I thought I was going to able upgrade entities in place with some some of yellow version of the ...

My single continuous feed reactor was struggling with demand so I dumped it and switched to your blueprint 2 reactor design. Turned off my coal fired boilers, power demand has roughly doubled but nuclear fuel consumption is maybe a third of what I was using with a single reactor and no steam storage...

I will say, if they go forward with the toolbelt->toolbar transition and we end up with an unlimited (or at least n>2) number of toolbars at our disposals, I'd be far more amenable to adding new parts. The FFF only said change to toolbar, it didn't suggest any increase in available space, I assume ...

Gepwin achieves the same effect in his Youtube video Factorio short circuits: No Combinator Schmitt Trigger without using combinators.

Yeah it's really weird how they've done it. My suggestion - research uranium processing early, and just put uranium in chests for a while. Then, once you hit 40, you can rig the kovarex loop, build the power plant, and have virtually unlimited U235. I used to think this way, but the thing is that e...

Thanks for this mod fork, tried it today, works in 0.15

Better proposal: make separate tech and mines for uranium that need acid so there is no magic different picture depending on placement and mods can use the new mines as well for eg dirty mining That's a worse suggestion. No new item clutter. I have enough to manage in my inventory and toolbelt as i...

I thought this thread was about the critical resource nuclear consumes but solar doesn't : UPS. According to Xterminator's video some people calculated a 7-8 UPS drop for a 10GW powerplant. The UPS cost of solar is 0 because there's no moving parts and the devs optimized it back in 0.13 or earlier, ...

[MOD 0.15+] AutoDeconstruct 0.1.8

Automatically marks your miners for deconstruction when they run out of resources to mine.

It is worth the effort of the download. If you have bots with this mod then miners just vanish by magic! If you don't have bots yet, use Bluebuild.

Adding dedicated entities for each such unintended functionality not only clutters inventory with rarely used items, it also takes out incentive for experimenting. Exactly, every item adds some clutter, it is hard enough now to pick out the thing you want from inventory or find it in the crafting m...

Works as advertised, blueprints from the start of the game work nicely now. Recommend users disable longreach, makes it too OP, on maximum zoom in the mod was placing stuff either offscreen or right on the border.

terraflare wrote:And idk if this is just me, but I feel like having a bidirectional rail with more than one train accessing it, will always find a way to f*ck the routes up.

I've found the secret to bi-directional rails is very small numbers of trains and chain signals everywhere.

Currently your North-South parallel rails are bi-directional. I would suggest changing just these two rails to be right hand drive. The rail on the left hand side should be south only and the rail on the right should be north only. To achieve that, remove the signals between the rails. Note how the ...

In 15.10 the devs added "Added rail block debug visualization" to help understand and debug exactly this kind of problem. Try turning it on and reviewing your rail blocks.

I started playing a few months ago or so, but was initially turned off by the "beta state" and didn't start again until about 2 weeks ago. Was there a specific shortfall that made it unacceptable to you or just that it was marketed as Beta? I've played on and off since 0.13 I always thoug...

Day 15, people continue replying to someone who hasn't been online in two weeks.

I like these changes and I'm for them. 1 request - please don't bind the "ghost building" with "quickbar empty". there are a lot of instances where I'd like build ghosts even when i have the item. (to build a blueprint, to "see how it looks", etc.) There was no suggest...
