It would be funny if the recipe did match the underground length, but the argument that it would make all the buildings match up exactly is not great. This would lead future people to always build to grid, making posted designs even more samey than they are. If everything was 3x3 it would also make ...

If the point was to find the one optimal design that beats all, and you couldn't immediately find it. Sounds like a game worth buying. If you eventually found it and felt like that was the end, immediately quit retired champion. I really feel like maybe you missed a few things along the way ...

When I first saw your screenshot, I despaired that you won't find a convenient way to load the processing units using inserters! The amount of bots to make sure things go smoothly looks excessive.

But you might be in luck: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=132595

It's about quality ...

The magic number for the needed digits of precision in C is DBL_DECIMAL_DIG from float.h

or std::numeric_limits<double>::max_digits10 in C++

which happens to be 17.

Though algorithms to get it smaller and still round trip conveniently exist in other languages, they usually fall back to arbitrary ...

There are some modded weapons already using this feature, but I think non-explosive tank cannon is the only ammo in vanilla game has this property.

Also the uranium cannon shell and atomic bomb have a range modifier.

Confirmed this is makes driving on straight "roads" much easier and doesn't interfere with any off grid driving that I've seen.

(Not to mention you can properly drive a car in multiplayer now, an unrelated bonus feature)

Great work for something seemingly so minor

That means water is liquid when it is part of the solution, and freezes into ice when separated. If you throw ice into an ocean of solution, the ice will dissolve.

This is fascinating thanks. I retract the bit about throwing ice back. Which moves ice into the same category as throwing ammonia back

Observations about this suggestion, which I boil down to ammonia at end...

In space age you get at least 4 new ways to destroy excess stuff so that couldn't be counted against the suggestion.

Dumping water back in the oceans or lakes, ok
Dumping lava back into the lava, ok
Dumping ammoniacal ...

This feature has been suggested elsewhere on the forum and doesn't seem to exist yet. But one thing you can do here is just "hardcode" the filters on one inserter to mash + jelly, the other one to both kinds of seeds. Then you only need 1 parameter to pick the recipe.

bug or feature ?

I use slower inserters in cases where I want a split with a very small overflow threshold.

Certain factory blueprints don't benefit from faster inserters, so don't need them, making them cheaper to build.

The slower inserters famously use less electricity, so they can compete when the object is to ...

The regular pump can be connected to the circuit network to enable or disable on condition. But it only lets the fluid flow one direction, and throttles the flow to 1200/s or more likely less

Maybe change this to "couch coop / split screen"

Sounds interesting but gameplay tip, you can put your saved upgrade planners in the B menu for later playthroughs, to avoid ever clicking 3 times again

I looked around the wiki looking for a table of train status icons, such as Zzz, and their meaning. If it's not anywhere right now, would be nice to add it to the locomotive page?

I bootstrapped myself on fulgora twice, and this most recent time I found myself not knowing how to fuel the stone furnace to get bricks! I spent a whole minute not remembering you get solid fuel from recycling scrap!

It was fun, don't fix.

I got the impression that Vulcanus was associated with speed, like Mercury is. Fast day night cycle, speed module 3 is unlocked, turbo belt unlocked. And the steam recipe you can use there is ridiculously fast. The foundry has a default crafting speed of 4x (!)

Meanwhile the recipes on Gleba are ...

Ships "designed" to get damaged and continually repair themselves is similar to a defense wall on a planet which is continually supplied by repair packs. Seems like they'd both satisfy this desire to disable their damage warning, or neither.

Since the warning becomes kind of pointless in both cases ...

There are many strategies on this planet. It sounds like you tried a few that didn't work.

1. Building the factory incrementally without fully planning everything out. You can still do this on gleba. Assuming you want "stuff on the belt" all the time, the most obvious way will just lead to more ...
