I don't think anyone actually mentioned this, but the original poster, Smee's problem was, not enough boilers. Basically you want 1.5 boilers per steam engine. So if you're running one pump, 9 steam engines, you should run that water through 14 boilers before it reaches the steam engines, to get it ...

I got kinda excited before I even read this topic, because I knew exactly what he was talking about. The 4x ship designer is a part of the game where you design the ships you will later build to use for various tasks, such as light fighters, scouts, colony ships, ect ect...they go way back to early ...

I think it is fair to say it is a bug. You'd expect the game not to allow you to build, if it is too close to the track.

0.9.3.....

you just did that to annoy me after last time, didn't you

make something like with zerg? corrupted land, this is rather interesting idea. wow...I have to admit that DOES sound like a neat idea! only able to build turrets so far, they could still be used perhaps as fallback point then, and you'd have to go in with normal military to finish the base.... As ...

dammit! you can't name a topic 0.9.2 and not have it BE the release topic for 0.9.2

get my hopes up prematurely!

eh, I'd only use passive chests in such a setup myself. I don't need things moved first to a storage chest. The large size of chests is more than enough of a buffer without having to use additional chests or if you need more, use another provider at the source! Those crazy bots just go filling stora...

How about having a construction box? Put a blueprint in a construction box assembly and it requests a box with exactly the needed amount of items for building that blueprint. You can take the box with you as item, it can be used only together with exactly this blueprint. And the logical reverse dir...

yeah yeah, and I'm sure it will go SSJ4 or some junk huh?

gawd forbid someone figures out how to make a viable DBZ Factorio mod....

hmmm, yes, probably either your tool got broken and you need to make a new mining pick, or you're talking about it being harder to mine some objects than others, which is intended... stone walls for instance take longer than laser turrets!

I'm in full agreement about "no dumps"! I hate storage chests full of junk my logistics bots decided they wanted to import from everywhere... but I also hate smart inserters, and use them only when I must. My answer would be...try placing the storage chest in construction bot coverage area...

immibis, I am dazed and confused or at least I was...I had to read it twice, very slowly the second time, to get it

very neat though!

I think the opposite..weapons need to require LESS. The main reason I prefer lasers to capsules is that they cost ZERO if you have enough solar power generated, and enough laser towers made. Zero...no cost to deploy, fire, redeploy against another base later, into infinity. Where a capsule only gets...

oooh, very nice, ssilk! A couple minor things I don't like: - that this system requires to be started in a certain way, with the top inserter not getting access to fuel on the belt until after the bottom is full, and if it is not started correctly, it won't work right. - the system requires readjust...

Bombers! oooh, bombers sound cool actually all those sound cool, but I hadn't heard bombers suggested yet. I like!

OK, here's the next challenge: I want a power setup where I have steam send power ONLY to my laser turrets, and perhaps recharge some accumulators which help with turrets too. Solar will power laser turrets if steam is not enough, followed by helping recharge the laser accumulators, and finally prov...

@CherryKiss: I don't see why they stop at different places? What do you mean? I mean, I set up the train station with loading zone, making sure my chests/inserters deliver to the right cargo cars, and then the train stops just slightly short, or long, and I have inserters delivering to the wrong ca...

Don't use them. Just don't. Believe me, I don't want to, but I had no more oil anywhere realistically grabbable, and my game was up to 57 hours when I finally completed it, mainly because I was waiting on plastic and processors at the end, and couldn't keep two refineries going full blast with the ...

I made my first train tracks/stations/trains in the playthrough I just completed. I got to say, trains are fun! But they are frustrating, less efficient than belts, and require monitoring all the time, lest some silly thing go wrong, and I find a bunch of copper and coal in my iron ore supply :( The...

These are some pretty neat ideas! As for the signs...already there are train station name signs on the (M)ap when you look, such signs should be placeable by the player too! Multiplayer Factorio....sounds so bizarre, and interesting, at the same time :D I wanna play on Malkasphia's team! I can build...
