Substitute N with the parameter you want, i.e. p0_i1, p0_i2, p0_i3 for your blueprint. (Single letters like n, m, o, ... or x, y, z are often used as placeholders in mathematics or tech adjacent fields.)

Insane ! Thank you really much @Tertius !
It's really simple and small, and thanks for the explanations I've understood almost everything, just the EACH trick is a bit hazy for me to understand, I'm thinking this acts like a filter to choose the correct recipe ?

Picking the correct recipe is the ...

The filesystem type is likely irrelevant. Also, the space-age mod doesn't come as a .zip, instead the unpacked version can be found in "<factorio-root>/data/space-age".
Considering there's a file named "data/space-age/migrations/aquilo-tilesets.json" in my install and "." as the first character in a ...

So uhm. What is m in the y axis?

I thought meter or minute, but I can't really use that to figure out how many rockets would I need per minute.


That's meters, see the x-axis, which corresponds to the total length of the route.


The x axis is route length, yes; but that doesn't tell us ...

Since you explicitly asked about grammar (my changes/corrections are marked)

I don't like it because a temperature sensor gives someone experience in reading equipment and maintaining a power budget based off that.
There's a reason why I'm point I'm pointing at a solution with one combinator and ...

It is available, at least on steam.

You can just select "all requests satisfied".

That wouldn't help with the (cryogenic plant fulfilled || concrete == 0) part.


You could put the common parts into the schedule and implement the remainder (or anything that becomes unwieldy in disjunctive normal form) in combinators, e.g ...

No, that article talks about copy on write for copying files, i.e. instead of actually copying the file, both old and new are set up to share the same data on disk. What factorio needs is a way of duplicating its process without having to also duplicate all the memory associated to it.

You could turn things around and instead request barrels on Nauvis' landing pad.

The productivity bonus only applies to 65 heavy oil (90 output - 25 input). When you take this catalyst into account, the numbers will match:
90 Heavy Oil/Craft / 5 second/Craft * 0.55 craft speed * (1 + 0.3 prod bonus * (90-25)/90 output without catalyst) = 12.045 Heavy Oil/second

Not a Bug.

Does a combined madzuri loader & unloader suffice? If not, why?

Not a Bug


The kind of blueprint I'm making is a very common one in various guides online, youtube videos, etc. I've made these before in my previous playthroughs. I put a machine down with P0 as recipe and P0 on the storage chest, then requester chest asks for 1 coal, 2 copper, 3 iron etc, then I ...

Then there is a "tempering matrice" applied, to this 3rd number, this i recognized as the 3 operations similar to the LSBR
This part :
y = x ^ (x >> u);
y = y ^ ((y << s) & b);
y = y ^ ((y << t) & c);
z = y ^ (y >> l);
Which i felt """confident""" doing in a "loop". Because to turn the last ...

Regarding singed vs. unsigned, for most operations the arithmetic combinator supports you don't have to do anything special (That's why two's complement is nowadays the only relevant representation for negative integers.), only division, modulus and right shift(*) are different. Out of these ...

but then I was looking at the wikipedia page to try and see if there was a chance i could make one in game, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister. and I could see the n=624 in the C code, but then for other values like "a" "b" "c" and Umask and Lmask, the values are in hexadecimal, and ...

Like PennyJim, I'd list the value that takes priority first. In addition, I'd avoid "and" and "or", lest someone attempts to evaluate the expression. How about "Value of `default_show_value` if set, `true` otherwise"?

Just to make sure: Which kind of AI? Generative AI which became a big topic in the recent years (example keywords: ChatGPT, LLM), or decades old game AI (for controlling NPCs, enemies, ...)?

Both are, of course, not intelligent but apply some algorithms to their input data. Regarding game AI, I'd ...

Not a Bug, as per the discussion following this post .

Outputting Anything when the condition is not using Each will output a single signal out of the input signals. In particular, Anything will pick the first input signal in some game defined order that roughly resembles the order the items appear ...

Tertius' setup gives the pairwise minima min(Each[red], Each[green]), the selector combinator min(all input signals). Calling both operations minimum is perfectly fine. You just need to be precise and indicate which of them is meant, if there's risk of confusion.

The question is, what is it supposed to do? Validating something without a goal to validate against is … difficult.
