"Power is automatically distributed by space platform tiles so you don't need to build electric poles or substations on the platform, ..." My thought: Hell yeah! Now we can build gigantic Lamp-Displays in Space that are not interrupted by Poles or Substations! Folks, prepare your Combinato...

Hi Folks, so i made a "thing" that controls the routing of Trains by their contents and is easy to setup in a Constant Combinator: Train Sorting Station.png In the Screenshot you can see the Trains on the left before they passed the Station on Top. On the right they were sorted according t...

Hi Folks :D so while i was creating a somewhat new Train-Unloading-Station i found something interesting. This is what i've expected with my understanding of balancing and sideloading: sideloading_expected.png A nice balanced Belt with almost no gaps :) But the Outcome was this: sideloading_unexpect...

Hi Folks, so i did some testing on the following Setups: Inserter UPS Difference.jpg The Filter-Inserter on Top is unloading to Blue-Belt, the lower one is unloading to an Underground... To see what's better UPS-wise i build two Setups with 10.000 Inserters each. All the Filter-Inserters are clocked...

No problem, glad to help :D I understand the 3 second delay, I have been working towards that style of exit condition so the train doesn't get stuck but it doesn't leave when things are still unloading... Sorry, that Inactivity might look strange and it works perfectly without them. So i explain my ...

Hey Blade, is this something that in theory fits your needs? Ring Counter.jpg The amount of Iron Plates on the Belt is given by the number that is put into the Constant Combinator (50 Iron Plates in this Case)...after the outer half of the Belt is filled with Gears, the Assemblers will stop to produ...

Hey Amarula, have you yet found a solution to your uneven Unloading? If not, you might want to look in that Blueprint: 0eNrtXdtu48gR/ZVAj7vSgH0nDWSBAAGCAMHmIdinYCDIEm0TK1ECRXliDObf0yR1oaRuqg5Njbk7fPGMzeZh96mqriK7uvrr6HG5izdZkuajh6+jZL5Ot6OH/34dbZPndLYs/pa/beLRwyjJ49VoPEpnq+K3TbZe7OZ5sk4n23kSp/N4spnN...

Hey Guys, again a Post on Kovarex ;-) This Time it's a "On-Site-Nuclear-Fuel-Production". I use this to supply my Trains with Nuclear Fuel in huge quantities. It's self-starting and can not get locked. Uses no Combinators but the Inserters are wired and have some Logics. Kovarex to Fuel.jp...

Hey guys, i made a Combinator Setup that i wanted to share in this Post, maybe it's useful... This Setup counts the Items and Satellites put into the Rocket-Silo and will reset it's Itemcounter (except Satellites) the moment the Rocket launches. Rocket Launcher.jpg The Blueprint does not include the...

Hey Aanrecht thanks for updating your map! I tried it on my very old shitty Hardware: Laptop: Intel Quad Core 2 Q9000 @ 2.0GHz 8GB RAM -> 10 UPS! PC: Intel i3-3220 @3,3GHz 4GB RAM (broken) -> 18 UPS! [Both in 1.1.6] I'm sure my PC could go faster but at the moment my RAM is a absolute mess and i nee...

No, i had no Idea what was going on when i loaded the Map the first Time. Spawned in the middle of nowhere and to get back to base i nuked myself. Luckily the base was still running an everything was fine. Except for the Radar-Update-Behavior-Thing... For Comparison: I loaded the Map again, but this...

Hey Guys, i have a Save-File that does really strange things: 1. Player was teleported to -106191, -13967 2. The vision of the map does not update, so everything is dark in Map and Minimap 3. Production Stats still normal and GUI workin fine 4. ...and then theres a 10 Chunk wide Radar Beam that star...

Hi Livedeath, if you want to count Items in a Inserters Hand there is a allready a built-in " 1 combinator with a purpose for counting only ": Item_Counter.jpg This Setup will count all the Items and display it in its Output: Item_Counter_2.jpg So if you want to make a Suggestion for a &qu...

Hi guys, thanks for your Replies! The Setup i've shown was more a conceptual Thing rather than a solid workin' Automation-Line :D But the Concept will be used later in my Game and get beaconed like hell for my Roboframes (Automating Research, not Bots ;) )! I wonder if the lube-making machine could ...

Because i have seen some Discussions on the Factorio-Forum and over on Reddit, i thought i build a Sample for myself to only Produce Lube. So, this Setup doesn't need Oil/Pumpjacks at all. It only needs Coal and Water and 10x Heavy Oil Barrels to Kickstart. After filling the System with those Heavy ...

TL;DR Add a possibility to allow the Player to set a Hotkey to toggle Train Mode. What ? Add an Indicator next to Train-Icon when the Player is inside a Train and let the Player set that custom Hotkey to toggle between these Modes. Train_Mode_2.jpg Train_Mode.jpg Why ? Standing next to Rails in you...

Thank you very much! You guys are just to awesome!

Opening the Locomotive GUI with the Option "Show infinity filters in controller GUI" enabled in Map Editor Settings, the Locomotive GUI results in a unexpected behavior. The attached Screenshots were taken with different (100%/150%) UI Scales. At 200% UI Scale the Locomotive GUI breaks apa...

TL;DR Copying Train Schedules from one Train to another via Shift-Click isn't that bad but having "Train Routes" would be even better! What ? Instead of every Train having its own Schedule, every Train should be assigned to a "Train Route". This Routes can be edited and overview...
