It seems the amount of items which is required to produce is not correct. (at least when you try to manufacture 5 piece at a time)

As you know you need:
1 transport belt and 5 gear for 1 fast transport belt.
1 transport belt require 1 gear and 1 steel plate
1 gear require 2 steel plate.
So if this number are correct, you would need 5x13 steel plate to produce 5 fast belt.

But this is what happens:
I do not have any transport belt in my inventory, and try to manufacture
5 fast belt, when I start the procedure, it shows that it started to produce 27 gear and 3 transport belt.

However in the end, in my inventory I found 5 fast transport belt, and 1 transport belt.
And it only consumed 59 steel plates.

This problem I discovered first in 0.12.12, however it's still in 0.12.15

PS: can we get the option to SAVE or manually SET the screen size?
So if I make the screen bigger (windowed mode) it does not remember it when start it again.

Transport Belt is produced 2 at a time, so for 1 gear 1 iron plate you get two, that's why it crafts 3 times the recipe and you end up with one transport belt as a leftover

Exactly.

If you happen to be using Linux, you can use some window matching utility like devilspie2 for this.

Code: Select all

if get_window_class() == "factorio" then
        undecorate_window()
        set_window_geometry(100, 100, 640, 480)
end

KWin even has a GUI for this, somewhere in the window menu -> special window/application settings. I suspect similar tools for other systems would exist, too.
