The question is - why is your train trying to go in that loop in the first place? Is the same station name used in multiple places? If so, there's a few fixes: Change the signals to all chain signals as pleegwat suggested (the train may still wait a bit outside the station before repathing to a free...

I've hit a problem in the 0.4.1 AAI Programmable Structures release on Factorio 0.16.21. Whenever I click on either the Input Terminal or Output Terminal of the Tile Scanner, I get this error: Error while running event aai-programmable-structures::on_tick (ID 0) Can't add element with the name "...

Looking at that long list of stations definitely makes me thing that you need a "web-like" auto-complete on the station list. Ie. If I click "Add Station", I should then be able to start typing a name and have it auto-filter the list based on the stations which are a partial matc...

You all are missing the point. The purpose is to make steam for oil recipes, not power production. I'd also love to see a setup where these are used with solar in place of accumulators. In other words, use solar + electric boilers to make steam during the day, then use stored steam at night for pow...

Unless something has changed (quite possible), a previous FF mentioned that all inserters would becoming smart inserters - so I personally would expect the "rapid" inserters (terrible name) to have smart-ness. As to losing stack size bonus for regular inserts? Depends where the rapid ones ...

I see you really indulged in this mod :) Did they rotate correctly by the way? I've looked over the code and now don't think the simultaneous rotation was done correctly as well. I've been using that ~= because it seemed to me that it should be faster. This day I know there are other things that in...

I found a bug - SmartLoaders stop being smart if you put more than 120 of them down. The following statement in the on_tick handler is what's causing the problem: if #global.ents<interval then global.next_check=global.next_check+math.floor(interval/(#global.ents)) else global.next_check=1 end Once y...

I can't believe I didn't know about this mod until now. Really, really, really need this for my Bob's mod campaing where I've shipping everything including most intermediate items with trains to a central warehouse. Will be trying this out tonight, and a massive THANK YOU in advance to you, Adil.

Nice. What CKAN features that are KSP specific made it over? I'm thinking stuff like:
* Automatic Factorio version determination
* Auto detection of manually installed mods

Hey Afforess! I'm actually doing an LP featuring Misanthrope right now: Nightingale Plays Factorio: Mercantilism and Misanthropy The playthrough features Misanthrope, RSO, Bob's mods and max biter base richness , so it's pretty heavy on the biters. It's currently only on episode 4, and I won't updat...

Okay, I'll bite on this one. Here's another way that we can get the same behaviour (stuck inserter): * Have a belt with different items on each side. * Set up an assembler that takes only one of the items * Blueprint it * Lay the blueprint down Now, the following may occur, and result in a stuck ins...

I've got a brand new series out and as always I'd love any feedback! This time we're featuring heavy biters and Misanthrope!

Mercantilism and Misanthropy

One question I have though (which is why I looked in this thread): does someone have a flowchart or spreadsheet of what processes use things from others? My factory is a huge sprawling mess at the moment. I left space as I built it but various emergency interconnections to use by products of proces...

Right now the only solution is to put them in a storage chest or logistic trash slots. Although I agree that the behaviour should be changed, why don't you just use the logistic trash slots in this instance? Putting it into the "red zone" of a passive provider seems like more work (seekin...
