It seems you want an ordinary multi item train, and control with constant combinators what to load, and provide the items to load with the logistic network.

That's exactly what I meant that took me a very long time to get right, and if you want my solution proposal, here it is. It's a completely ...

You don't need to bring back items for rocket launch. Just build additional rocket silos in your other islands. The only thing you cannot do is to build multiple cargo landing pads for receiving items from platforms.

It might be easier to ship ingredients instead of shipping products, because there ...

Yes, would be nice to have, however it's a non essential feature that competes with other feature requests enhancing the circuit network. You cannot include all those features, because feature creep would make it all too big and too confusing to configure. People already struggle with understanding ...

Please don't merge this thread. I never posted in that other thread because of its inherent negativity and toxicity, instead I used the other now forgotten "good" threads about Gleba, because I have only good things to say about Gleba.

For me it was a pleasure to start with Gleba after my 1st ...

In case someone stumbles upon this thread and wants to learn about about signal and item ordering, which the OP failed to explain, see the explanation in the preface of this combinator cookbook: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=124776


What still amazes me most is that Copilot claims ...

This actually happens:

when the game engine is about to check and process the interrupts, before processing the first interrupt, it creates one replacement for each of the 4 wildcards and stores these 4 replacements.
for the circuit wildcard, it looks into the current circuit connection of the ...

For the moment, forget the wildcard popup description. Just remember what we all observed as game behavior. This thread and all other observations.

If a platform currently has the shattered planet as destination, the condition for that schedule entry is reversed: the condition is constantly being checked and the platform will stop and turn back immediately if the waiting condition becomes true. If you look thoroughly, you will also notice this ...

You can add multiple conditions to a single decider combinator, combined with AND or OR.

Ok so you have a tiny ship as well instead of taking a look into what belt storage ultimately encourages. Try building bigger

Nope, I will not build bigger. That's not a part of the game I'm interested in. I'm quite sure I'm not the only player with this view of the game. My build is already ...

because belt storage encourages boring builds while being about 6x as effective as not using it. Giving them spoil time would make vastly different builds more interesting

With chunks spoiling you're adding a hard restriction, and hard restrictions lower the amount of possible and viable builds ...

I feel this request as psychological or political, but not technical. This reminds me of long gone discussions when some people didn't want to use apps developed with Turbo Pascal or compiled by some given compiler.

Given this and other topics that are against AI usage but never really told why ...

If this option isn't feasible for some reason, I'd like to be able to read the cargo landing pad inventory at the same time as setting its requests, so I can add this to the request, so all wanted items can be requested, no matter if some are in the landing pad or in some chest. Would achieve ...

The only thing that gleba has issues with is stone

You need stone just for landfill, to build your factory and enhance your farm.
In the starting area, I always found 4 stone patches with a combined amount of about 800k.
Mined with mining productivity of 100% (research level 10) with a big ...

What?
I would like an additional option "Set requests (logistics network)" for the cargo landing pad, where the requests are not counted against the cargo landing pad inventory but instead against the logistics network content the cargo landing pad is part of.

Why?
The goal is to ensure a given ...

Roboports seem to get an initial small amount of energy in their energy buffer when placed. Probably to make them connect to an existing logistics network, since that's often the intention if you place a new roboport. Otherwise you don't immediately see how the network will extend, only after you ...

Landmines are a viable weapon against stompers as far as I understand corresponding comments.

Myself, I don't use landmines because they deplete and need to be deployed again during combat in ...

As far as I remember there is a game option to change the appearance of pentapods, for people with arachnophobia.

Although at some point (especially if you want to target a wider variety of finished products) you would want to start setting up backpressure to avoid overproduction of quality intermediates. I think that will be interesting to math out how to line things up so the factory autodetects the right ...

But it’s not like there are no benefits whatsoever; The other guy already gave several examples of useful early quality, and I believe there are more. Stick quality modules in the right places throughout your whole factory, set up the filtering correctly, and over time you will build up plenty of ...
