I was kinda assuming the snippets you made is what is used to build modern computers? I added all the delays to achieve something that I found out is called concurrency in computer science? So that's why I used them. I felt these are the basic building blocks of building such a machine so I didn't ...

If there is an open dialog window partly outside the game window, and the dialog window is automatically resized by the game engine without user interaction, it jumps fully into view.

Happens every time some part of the dialog window is outside of the game window, no matter if its to the right ...

About bloat and simplicity. About simplifying goals and not making 100% solutions. And about creating specialized solutions instead of chaining pre-made snippets.

It happens I continued my efforts to build legendary items. Some end products can be crafted best by upcycling them, and others can be ...

I've seen it, I know what it's about (built a big auto-mall myself), I know about all the challenges this includes, and I congratulate you for achieving a working solution.

However I didn't comment, because I didn't want to discourage you. I respect your work. But from my point of view, you used ...

Given the challenge to create all kind of legendary quality production buildings has been solved and you're able to create these,
what is the difference between a set of factories made of normal quality buildings producing normal quality items and all 12 science packs, to a set of factories with the ...

The easy way is the deconstruction planner. You almost found it. Customize an empty deconstruction planner and add the "item on the ground" placeholder from the Unsorted category.

You did a direct and simple approach, however you need a large amount of combinators.

If you calculate the raising and falling level every tick, you don't need any memory cell, but you get much noise. So you need some kind of moving average to smooth out noise.

You can use a Kalman filter (linear ...

And usually the real limitation is not game design but lack of versatility of particular players.

This is definitely true. I see this lack of versatility with myself, and I try to overcome this by checking what other people do. I have even overcome my ignorance when it comes to quality. And if I ...

I don't know why, but for some reason it eluded me it I can unload iron and copper ore directly into foundries and distribute infinite molten ore in just one pipe across the whole base. That screenshot is from the time before that, in fact it's a migrated 1.1 design. I'm currently redesigning my ...

Your conclusions are correct, and your reasoning you need the depot (this is what the community calls this setup) for empty trains is also correct. It's a standard solution.

I actually built one of my main base ore stations as you described. There is both: a stacker with one station for each lane ...

I am trying to get an interrupt to trigger when a train has been routed to the shunting station but has not yet arrived because it is stopped in a stacker. I am trying to create a "deshunt" condition that will cancel the temporary stop at the shunting station and re-route the train to an unloader ...

sure I have not really learned how to run a nuclear reactor, or anything realistic about fluids usable in my house, but at least it was a nice technical challenge here and there not too difficult for someone who built and installed his own off-grid solar system in his house&garden, with cabling ...

WTF?????????? How is it acceptable that combinators randomly fail in an unpredictable and pretty much impossible to debug manner? Briefly being low on power doesn't just break any kind of state keeping/counters, it also breaks any combinator ...

If you need to skip some station in the schedule, there is no way. Trains will proceed through all stations in the schedule. However, there is a new feature as of game version 2.0, called train interrupts. The idea behind interrupts is that you dynamically build the schedule according to conditions ...

I guess the OP means a safeguard against permanent deletion from the logistic group selection dialog.
In case a logistic group had 0 references, it's gone. But it's possible to get it back in the current save by loading the most recent previous save, place a constant combinator and select the group ...

If you ask for this achievement, you cannot allow anything to be dropped, not even bots. Either all or nothing. Everything in between is cheating. Since the game doesn't make a distinction between a naked player and a fully armed and equipped player in terms of rocket launches, it's probably ...

Unfortunately, there is not enough information for us to debug. Train issues can be tricky to analyze, some subtle issues are really hard to spot. Your 1st screenshot, the map, doesn't show the signal positions (they're green and red dots), and it doesn't show the station names. No schedule ...

Rocket silo as chest? Interesting. This possibility is a side effect of the function to trash unlaunched items in automatic mode and clean the rocket silo. Using the silo as a chest in the simulation has no equivalent in the real world, so it is an invalid use, so for me it's a cheat if you take ...

What exactly do you envision if you want to extend that achievement?

I'm asking, because I was so lazy that immediately after hand crafting the mandatory items (104 as far as I remember), I turned off hand crafting via the permissions setup to not accidentally craft anything manually and never ...

Again, i disagree. Currently I need way more jellynuts than yumako fruits. I think my biggest demand arises from the amount of rocket fuel that i need for electricity. And i actually need quite a lot of electricity. And demand on everything is unstable, especially on Gleba. It always depends on ...
