One cargo wagon holds 400 LDS. (LDS has a stack size of 10, and each cargo wagon holds 40 stacks). I'm pretty sure that each option except for number 2 includes the output cargo wagon. My personal philosophy these days for large scale LDS production is to find a suitable site near unused copper, iro...

In particular the following bit.

When the path includes a train stop that is not the destination -> Add a penalty of 2000.

So Apple is the one who has to fix it.

I'm sure they will get around to fixing it right after they finish the migration to ARM.

So according to that screenshot, Factorio is running at 5888 x 3188. However that seems to be almost double the reported screen resolution of a new MACBook Pro (3072x1920). So it looks like OSX is rendering Factorio at double resolution, then downscaling it. I would expect that there should be some ...

Depending on the size of the base (and possibly also mods), 4GB ram might not be enough.

Some recipes can't be hand crafted. (eg engine units). That is probably a deliberate games design choice to force the player to automate some things. Even if you have a mod that removes the lubricant from the express underground and splitter recipes, that doesn't mean that they don't require an asse...

Post the save.

Quoting from the wiki page valneq linked up above (https://wiki.factorio.com/Railway/Train_path_finding). When the path includes a train stop that is not the destination -> Add a penalty of 2000. That 2000 penalty will be larger than the penalty for the westbound train. As a general rule, if someone...

It works fine, except when my inventory is empty. On the mac, I could just left click and it would select a ghost and I could place it. However on my PC clicking on an item when its not in my inventory does nothing.

Settings->Interface->Pick ghost item if no items are available.

0.18.47 is still available from https://www.factorio.com/download/archive. I suggest using the .zip version as that is fully self contained, and won't get automatically updated. (Assuming you haven't updated mods/re-saved the game with 1.0, you should be able to just copy your existing setting, mod ...

Steam does offer access to a lot of previous versions.

Until it doesn't

True. But I expect major releases like 1.0 to be around for quite a while. (But using the .zip version is a better idea, if you are worried about updates breaking your mods/base).

The gpu (Nvidia 9400M) is also old (2008), and might be below the minimum spec GPU as well. On windows the 310.90 graphics driver series is dated Jan 2013, so if this was a Windows or Linux laptop I would recommend attempting to update to a more recent graphics driver. But I'm not sure that is an op...

I suspect (but haven't tested) that inserters grabbing items from belts is significantly more expensive in cpu cycles than picking up items from a chest/wagon/assembler. Hence a well designed train base is likely to be more cpu efficient than a belt base. Inserters picking up of belts are worse (up...

even out of manual artillery range.

How far does your pollution spread? Because if pollution reaches nests out that far, then that would be expected.

If you think you have a bug, then upload the save.

Just have a fuel train that drops fuel off at every station yeah... that's one of the workarounds that i don't like. and one that is not even possible in some cases. If it is possible to route the train to a fueling station, then how can it be impossible to send fuel to a station on the train's rou...

Unless you are merging belts, blocking belt lanes or using a belt that transitions from a faster belt to a slower belt, 90% of the time you don't need to lane balance belts.

Also you are lane balancing the left belt twice, which is redundant.

Personally I wouldn't require completing the 111 craft achievement as part of the challenge. It is far too easy to accidentally craft something, and endup in a position where you can no longer complete the achievement. Now that is fine if you are doing a run just for the achievement, since you can a...

I understand what you mean, but I've never had a problem with flickering as far as power production goes. I also don't bother to use an SR latch for backup power, but I circuit control the offshore pumps, and for me those typically only supply about 10-12 boilers each, so the fluid in the pipes pro...
