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 ...

You could configure a request in one roboport for let's say 100 con bots (or logi bots), and pick them out of that robopurt using a filtered inserter that stores them in a chest

Yes please, would be so convenient

Are you sure you aren't using a regular pump instead of an offshore pump?
One can only pump water out of the ocean with an offshore pump

You can take a look into this topic for ideas and blueprints, but as stated above, I'd rather upgrade power production
All the zero drain laser walls

You need construction bots to do that. All remote actions on inventory slots of vehicles, inserter, assembly machines,... are handled by construction bots.

Hi sprogofpunk

A reactor being destroyed e.g. by biters if above 900°C will explode and can trigger a chain reaction, but other than that it's no problem: they just max out at 1000°C.
It's highly inefficient though, your precious fuel cells are simply wasted.
You should look for a way to ...
