You're not comparing your signal to the constant value 4, but to the signal "4 on black". When you uncheck the "R" box, because there is no green wire, both "green check" and "4 on black" have the same value, zero. When you don't only "4 on black" is zero.

You'll want to enter a constant value ...

I'm not understanding how these "filter" toggles in decider combinators work.
First, I would expect the output from these two images to be reversed. Why am I only getting an output if I uncheck the "red" filter?
And secondly, what does the second filter, next to the "4" in my example do? Toggling ...

Why do you think that Factorio is under an obligation to list everybody who was involved with making a promotion for them?

so whenever I play factorio I get bored and very discouraged so I can never get past chemical science unless i'm playing with friends it won't help to play with a faster start mod since I get bored of building the base from scratch so does anyone have a world (space age) that has built a rocket ...

**No comment**

So I posit that crafting machines will consume a hair extra power if a craft is blocked due to the output being full.



Correct. The energy potential consumed that would have gone to starting the next craft is instead lost when the craft fails to output.


I'm perpetually impressed by the ...

Well after along hiatus from the game I decided to return. To my surprises and disgust I fond that the classic oil processing mod no longer works. Well the game is now just of those that no longer think, The dumbing down for the kids is now complete. So it is great reluctance and profound sadness ...

Deathworld Marathon is just a x4 research cost multiplier with easier enemies than Deathworld. Unlike in 1.1 where it was true hell with the expensive recipes on top.


If the enemies are easier... why is it called "Deathworld"? Wouldn't they have called it "Niceworld" instead?

The description ...

I just got to artillery in my first vanilla 2.0 Deathworld Marathon game, and wow! What a great experience that was! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had to micro-manage much of the game to stay alive to this point. I thought the level of difficulty was pretty perfect, and made for a game that was ...

What are you worried about stopping, exactly? Why wouldn't you be able to play Factorio in the future?

Understood. Thank you!

I only have one good computer right now, and I'm hoping to run a dedicated multiplayer server on it, while occasionally playing my own individual games. Can I do that? I'm running Linux Mint on this machine.

Coming back to the game after some time, I remembered there are blueprints or ways to make them, and I was looking for it. And I noticed that I can use the keybind alt B to go into blueprint mode and start creating them and so on...

But if I tried to add the blue print shortcut to the area just ...

Earandel just announced that Space Exploration 0.7.** for 2.0 is now available in the mod portal. It is most definitely there. Are you going to play it?

Well, Wube, the company that makes Factorio is a private, for-profit company. So, I think that unfortunately, you will be waiting a very long time for a Android version of Factorio.

I'm curious... what would the point of that be? To try to play Factorio on a tiny screen, or with a tiny processor, or with a tiny amount of memory?

Awesome, thank you!

I asked to be able to edit the wiki. I got an email about it 9 days ago, and am just now getting around to working on it. My password doesn't work. I'm assuming because I waited too long. (?) Who does one contact to deal with these sort of issues?

I mean asteroid shooting getting much faster.

What does that have to do with UPS?
