My main problem is the following:

Your build contains a mistake, based on wrong assumption about the wildcard expansion. Use it for unloading, but not for loading.

The idea is to start with an empty train. Completely empty. For an empty train, no green cargo or fluid wildcard can match. So ...

By some time all fluid trains will carry water which become basically useless.


That means you're doing it wrong, not that the mechanics have flaws. All of the solutions described in this thread cannot have this happen.


Yes, it is easily can happen. In addition, it is explicity stated in ...

Here is something that's currently on my mind. We all want to build a logistic train system in vanilla. It sounded so easy in the FFF. Here's the problem: The natural way to do it with interrupts doesn't work with multiple provider stations. I think by now, all the train afficianados know the ...

When I alter some of my blueprints they definitely affects the real ones which are built. And in some cases I move around pipes and stuff and the old one screws it up. I use lamps as a "destroy whatever was here" placeholders, then remove the lamps too after that. And update the blueprint ...

Hi

As the title says there is no option to upgrade quality for artillery wagons. Cheers'

Hi!

This is halfway on the bug-feature scale.
When there is a belt line and if you cross-build it with something - for examples pipes - the game autobuilds an underground connection to keep the line.
This is not the case with pipes which is quite annoying, as it has to be handled manually every ...

Hi all,

Recently I am doing my megabase stuff, looking for knowledge and blueprints on the internet, and what I realized that the base game is not too challening. I mean it does not force me to think more deeply, not punishing me enough or it is just not too exciting for me. There is so much stuff ...

Hi guys!

First of all; thanks for all your answers!
It is interesting how you apprach the game, how the "attitue" is different between people.

I never played city building games before, nor really open world ones, so this is new journey for me as well. As I have completed the game, I had to ...

I really love your responses, especially the beer-based one

Hi guys, my fellow factory builders!

How do pros approach the game? How do they design new things? Do they plan, calculate then execute? Or do they just play by feeling? When I see other guys, for example Nilaus, he just casually do stuff which works. No efforts, no struggle, just do this and that ...

See the images attached. The pollution increases disproportionately, it is much larger than it should be. Or do I misunderstand something?

Hi everyone!
I have attached a screenshot, it speaks for itself. I cant really wrap my head around the description, I assume it is some old text from some really old version.

Hi guys,
New to the "Reading Power capacity and demand" club.

I understand the 2nd and 3rd block. However, I don't understand the 1st block. As I understand, I know what is currently drawing the power, however what I don't know what demans more power. A lot-lot more power in this situation. I ...

The ultimate cost is your own time. You have only a very finite amount of it, so you should favour using it to your best advantage. Will optimising your infrastructure costs free more time for you to do other stuff you wish you had more time for ? Then do optimise. Will optimising your ...

To be honest I have just faced this problem:
I have installed a mod, a blueprint sensor, that can read blueprints and signal out its ingredients. The problem is that it can read only actual items. The sensor is on Vulcanus, and I am on Aquilo. And arrived there not a long time ago. No cargo pad, no ...

Wow! Never would have though of this!
Creating the vehicle from blueprint works! Thanks!

Hi folks!
Maybe a silly but simple question: How do activate/crate the vehicle to the ground in remote view?
Inserters just put them around like any othem inventory item, but does not activate the tank, spidertron, etc on the ground.

Thank for the insights guys!
I really love to read your thougts and experiences. This is the game where you have so much liberty to do things in your way, that everybody does it a bit differently.
I tend to overoptimize and spending too much time with hasseling. In the early phases (game, new ...

Hi guys,

I play the game like everyone else, but time-to-time it pops in my mind: Am I thinking too much about costs? Micro costs? Does it worth to think 1 more minute, on how to place belts and pipes to be as cost effective as possible? For example using normal pipes instead of underground pipes ...
