There might be a mod for that, and you can probably find the info posted somewhere, but it won't be found in the base game.

The wiki has a page for each item in the game. The item page has links for where each item is used and what you need to make that item. It might not be as convenient as a list, but it has all the data.

Somewhere i have 6 laserturrents in my network.. i requested them in my inventory but not get them delivered (maybe yet?)
is there a way to find them, to see in wich chest they are?

Can bots take items out of a storage chest or just but stuff in?

thanks ;)

If you have logistic bots available and do not have the requested number of turrets in inventory I do not know why you are not getting deliveries.

Bots can take items from storage chests and both types of provider chests. They cannot take items from requester chests.

The only way I know to find which chest something is in is to open all the chests. Yeah, real slow. I recommend starting to look at the requester chests first.

I started a map without enemy expansion and now i've changed my mind after 5 hours of gameplay.
Right now i only find enemies far away from the map and i have no use for my laser-defence :D
Is there a way to activate this again?

Use this console command (will disable achievements):

Code: Select all

/c game.map_settings.enemy_expansion.enabled = true

I still can't figure out how to pick up a single item from a chest without first picking up half or a whole stack

Pick up a stack, right click where you want to place a single item, then put the rest of the stack back.

I don't know what to do to help, and I can't test it out because I'm on a PC, but maybe this helps: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac/ho ... c-3610351/

If you keep running around, leaving logistics range for even a second will cause the bots to repath to a storage chest if on their way to you, making it take forever for them to get to you. You can find an item by dropping a temporary requester chest for it if you don't feel like standing around waiting.

Works for me on a Mac. Macs have had multi-button mice by default for something like 15 years. If you have the weird Magic Mouse contraption, it's not a physically separate button, but pressing the right side of the mouse is a right-click. (Bad design if you ask me. I use a Logitech mouse.)

Hi!
Is there any method to disallow drones to travel outside of the construction area of roboports? It's annoying that a lot of drones are destroyed by biters who are in an area what i not cleaned because i don't want to use and than it's unnecessary to waste resources on it. I use modded Factorio (and 0.14) but first i want to search a vanilla method, if is there any. This could be good also because i've seen a lot of times that a group of drones went in a way where the next roboport they reach is very far away, and after a short distance they returned back to the last roboport, and they did it in an endless loop.

No. You are expected to design your roboport network to avoid this problem - don't make U-shaped networks that reach around biter-controlled territory. Split networks up if you can't make them reasonably convex.
