Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers
Do turrets have ammo requests when blueprinting? I haven't seen a checkbox/toggle for it.
(You know how when blueprinting, for a train you can have it remember the train fuel, or have it remember what modules a building should have? Like that.)

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers
No, that is not currently a feature. This Alt-F4 article shows you how to add it using a Python script, and already has a handy blueprint available. Or you could use a mod like AutoFill.

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers
but sometimes autofill could be make trouble with other mods, save befor you make something.
Wahts also works, you can use a turret with arms to fill other turrets. arm turret arm turret in a row. One tower feed the other tower.

Want to organize my saved maps. Experiments in creative, different runs with a bunch of brenches...
How do I catalogize saves? Create directories/folders?

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers
Though you can't create folders within Factorio, Factorio recognizes folders within your saved games folder. You can find the save folder somewhere like:
C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\saves
(May vary for Steam, GOG, etc.)
If you create folders there, you'll see them in Factorio with [brackets]:
At the root, it looks like this. Double-click a folder to navigate to it.
Here's what it looks like in a subfolder. Double-click the .. folder at the top to navigate back up.

«Supply challenge» – Why do glasses exist in this mode? What's the point of exchanging saved time for these points?

Hello, I downloaded an old safe and deactivated the cheat mode with some command I saw on here, but im still unkillable. Does anybody know how to give me my mortality back?

According to the wiki, if you spawn a new player character it should work... https://wiki.factorio.com/Console#Enable_god_mode

A good mod deserves a good changelog. Here's a tutorial (WIP) about Factorio's way too strict changelog syntax!

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers
p.s. yeh I figured it out that it's not that copy/paste was improved, it's just that all normal inserters have filters now, so the paste works on them
Please delete this or leave in case anyone else asks the same question
So I saw that we can now paste settings into inserters, I'm wondering if it's possible to set it to paste a condition of item count < stack size?
Currently it pastes item ingredients into inserter filter slots, wish I could use it to quickly set chest limits instead of ingredients, like when I'm building a mall.
Probably would be possible if I make a blueprint of wired inserter+chest+assembler with new parametrized blueprints, but I didn't get to these yet and only found out the copy/paste improvements

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers
Once you get the circuit network unlocked, red/green wires are free. So you can immediately wire the inserter to the box so it only puts in when there is less than X amount, just like you could in 1.1. Machines still only want a few sets of materials so most stuff continues on down the line.
I admit I only rarely used Filter/Stack Filter Inserters; but it was amusing to see I could set filters to Burner Inserters now.

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers
Hi, quick question. How can I get Cliff Explosives? I have looked into wiki: https://wiki.factorio.com/Cliff_explosives. I should invent them after Explosives + Military 2. I have invented even Military 3, looked in tech tree, and i can't find them. Something change in DLC?
Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers
Open the tech tree window, and hit the little magnifying glass icon (its directly above the upper right corner of the List of technologies section). Search for Cliff - you should see it as a Red+green tech (unless SA changed it; 2.0 did not).

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers
Is the option for belt building mode gone in space Age/2.x?
01. Automatic tunnel mode: Underground belts were placed automatically when obstacles (e.g. existing trees, rocks belts) were in the way.
02. Overwrite mode: New conveyor belts overwrote existing structures without automatically placing underground belts.
I cant find this options anymore. Is ther a way to chance it to forbidden automatic tunnels? (config file or so? I didn' want play with automatic tunnels.
Thx.

Question about orbit (new DLC).
Is there any way how to pass any signal from Navius (home planet) to the Orbit? (other then sending full rocket with artificial materials coding some information)

Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers
No, sadly there is not. But it will hopefully come for 2.1

Can I still use normal copper wire for a power switch or does it only work with coloured wire?
Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers
When setting the recipie of an Assembler by circuit network...
How does the assembler decide which recipie on the signal to craft?
For example:
I'm have a signal of 100 red circuits, 5 copper wires, 5 green circuits while having copper plates, iron plates and plastic provided manually and then subtracting the contents of the outputchest from the signal. I also feed the output back into the assembler.
Somehow the system does exactly what I want...meaning it crafts what is currently missing in the production chain but I just can't figure out what determines which recipie goes into the assembler,
