When something in that are is damaged the game finds the *closest* provider of repair packs to the damaged thing, - which is the roboport *most* of the time.

How does that work exactly? because as I see it, they clearly prefer repair packs from storage chest instead of roboports, and are willing ...

Same here, at least for the huge amounts of repair packs in the roboports. They aren't all overflowing yet, but we have at least one roboport that's holding it's maximum of 700 repair packs
In our multiplayer game we have a single AM, putting repair packs into a storage chest https://wiki.factorio ...

As a native Dutch speaker, I don't think so. 'Granaat' is correct in my opinion , or maybe 'obus' or 'artilleriegranaat' if you need to make a distinction with 'handgranaat'.
'Kogel' is non-exploding projectile.

Yeah, that checks with my observations.
Also, see the FAQ: How do I bump my topic?

As far as I can tell It's still possible, but only for topics you were the last commenter

Edit: nevermind, works as well for topics I'm not longer the last commenter.

Yes please. Another place where the white rich text icons are nearly invisible is in the train schedule, when used as a station name for the current destination.

I kick-start my space ships by importing a rocketload of barreled water, it's a lot faster than waiting to collect enough asteroids for ice

Out of curiosity, why don't you use a filtered deconstruction planner for this?

There is also this thread: with the following quote:

TL;DR
Linked production and consumption statistics, for easier comparison

What?
Could we please have an option to link and compare the production statistics with the consumption statistics? More specific, I would like to suggest:

using the same scale in the production and consumption graph ...

I guess you have a different number of locomotives on your trains? You can probably get it working by removing the rails from the blueprint so you can align te unloader correctly

That achievement keeps track of all circuits produced across all your saves, so it's probably from an earlier playtrough

it's hard to see, and it might be an artefact caused by zooming, but could that be a blue belt in between green belts?

Is there a mode/hotkey in which I can only place an item if a matching/similar blueprint ghost is already there? like when building a smelter stack pre-bots? it would make placing 100+ inserters less of a chore


in principle, no. but there is one exception: power poles. you can place a blueprint ...

Is there a way to place legendary fish in a pond and have them stay legendary? I have too many of them and kind of want a legendary koi pond...

No, all the fish you return to the water will lose their quality. See also this (refused) bug report :


Thanks for the report. The simple solution ...

They have a high resistance to explosive damage. Your should use regular, non explosive, cannon shells. And invest in physical projectile damage upgrades via research if you haven't already.
Good luck!

Also, a power switch does not work on a space platform

IIRC you can also move trains without fuel -very slowly- since 2.0, so you're able to remotely ( and manually) drive a train out of the way or towards a refueling station. Maybe that behavior is extended to other vehicles as well?

It looks like the mod author just started on porting it to 2.0: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/WaterAsAR ... a68efd6530

Sorry if I'm being dense...

( NEW BUG : this UI is difficult to discover!)

...but I'm not getting the steips I need to bring up the UI in the picture.

Select the upgrade planner, open your inventory and drop it in there. You'll see a green rectangle, by right clicking it you can edit it. It'll ...
