I collect promethium in cargobays on my ship, not belts. Is it "efficient"? Probobly not. Do I care? Not at all.

I bring the prometium back to Nauvis where it's dumped to the surface, then it's shiped up to a different platform that does the science. Again, not efficient, but its my way and I ...

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 ...

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, as more aspects of ships would matter instead of only size and belt density now, such as platform speed (both short term ...

Two words: Belt storage. That terrible, brainless cheese strategy still exists, and people still use it, even after the recipe rebalance that was done before release.
For those unaware, allow me to explain. Promethium science packs are crafted from promethium asteroid chunks, quantum processors ...

Maby not make it spoil to quick but give it a spoil timer of lets say 30 minutes so people have a choice as well.
You can collect the asteroids and then quickly fly back to process them, or bring the eggs and quickly process them when you collect the prometium.
Or you can combine the 2 solutions ...

Factorio is a sandbox game, why do people want to unsandbox it? How lame would it be if everyone has to use the same strategies for everything? If promethium belts are not your thing then fine but don't ruin it for others.

Good to know, kinda hard to search up and keep track of all those belt drag bugs lol

Factorio Version: 2.0.49
Steps to reproduce:
1.build something like this:

2. make sure you have undergrounds in your inventory, then drag backwards from the left to right

3. belt is built in the opposite direction

• Added LuaSchedule.
• Added LuaSpacePlatform::get_schedule().
• Added LuaTrain::get_schedule().

This. Is. Awesome.

Logistic Platform Network mod when

Which of these three setups produces the most legendary plastic per second?


None of the above.

I built models to see what a single plant could actually do. Based off 3 scenarios:

Plastic with no beacons and quality.
Plastic with 1 beacon and quality ...

Just a suggestion, don't block everyone who told you you are wrong. Your hostility means nobody cares about your opinion and nobody wants to spend any effort to give you counterexamples, even though it's so simple and obvious.

The game does not scale quality with quality on prototypes... it should not exist on?

what looks fine to me?

Since the current frame of the animation is a game state instead of being visual only I don't think this would be trivial to fix without causing performance problems, the non-animated ones are in "sleep" state to save processing power

Currently the only way to access this information is by calling find_asteroid_chunks_filtered() and count the table size before calling destroy_asteroid_chunks(), which is not performance-friendly.

I know this bug is somewhat obscure but a mod I'm making depends on the instant spoil trigger of an item, hope this can be fixed.

test mod: test save:

If an item with spoilable results is spoiled before crafting finishes, its trigger effect won't trigger.

How to reproduce:
1. Add a mod with following code in data.lua:

data.raw.item["captive-biter-spawner"].spoil_ticks = 1
data.raw.capsule["jelly"].spoil_ticks = 1


2. Build a infinity chest ...

29 minutes, that's one speedy fix
