I have just been looking into this deeper, and find I have to retract my previous assertions. The hand stack size signal does not latch when the enable signal is applied, so therefore must be present for the start of the swing. If it is removed before the inserter swing begins, as is the case in the...

This issue has, in some way, answered a problem that I have run into where I wanted to place a precise amount of items from a cargo wagon. I always ended up with more items than I had instructed the inserters to to place. Having been distracted by something else, I eventually abandoned the idea and ...

I see it now.

Biological sample != Bio-sample

It is easy to confuse bio sample as an abbreviated biological sample.

Aougs do produce bonemeal, but as I said. To produce or research Aougs, cDNA is required, and that is dependent on bonemeal. There is no other means of producing bonemeal.

There seems to be a blocked technology path in the last couple of releases that prevents progressing to Logistics Science. Poor Alien sample is required which requires Biological sample. Biological sample requires bone meal. Bone meal cannot be produced without researching creatures with bones. Crea...

Hmm, yes, Raw Nexelit can be obtained from tailings dust using an evaporator. I misunderstood and overlooked that turning raw into plates wasn't available to you. This appears to be a bug in the technology matrix and the three Py mods you are using. It looks like pyrawores mod will remove the requir...

Nexelit can be obtained from Tailings dust.

Logistics science will bring the required technologies

These are merely hints without spoiling things too much. If you need more details please ask?

Thg new-ish "Continue" button, while convenient, does not give us nearly enough information when it comes to what impact updates might have. We only get to learn about them once the map has been, or was attempted to be loaded. If, on the other hand, we use the load game interface, mods in ...

The task queue cap has been known about for some time for sure. However, I'm not sure that the order of operations and priorities are that widely understood. Breaking base development into smaller chunks seems sensible, but for new players - maybe some veteran players, the rationale is not exactly t...

Interesting. I feel a scenario coming on to test this out. Bots are hard to monitor, and I've always wondered why sometimes they don't appear to be doing what I had hoped them to do, and this new revelation might explain why. The alerts are definitely capped, but I have been under the impression tha...

Perhaps some clarification is needed here? When the OP refers to a separate logistics network, is this actually the case? ie when viewed from the map with logistics network overlay active, are they are separate islands? I haven't noticed this, but if separate logistics networks are included in the &...

Hello all,
I just noticed a new purple name, but couldn't find any news or announcements for Lou

Please join me in welcoming Lou, and hope that they have a happy and productive tenure at Wube.

Not the only fool. Yes it is rather annoying to have recipes and buildings change so leaving parts of the factory not working. Pyanodon suite is still being actively developed, which is great, and breaking changes are inevitable, but unfortunately, these breaking changes are not always entered into ...

Which version of Factorio are you running? There are two branches. The Stable release which is currently 1.0.0 and the experimental branch currently 1.1.6. Space Exploration's latest is Version: 0.5.23 Date: 13. 12. 2020 and is compatible with Factorio 1.1.x. The SE version that appears to be compat...

Disabled stations still appear to have a penalty of 2000 each where they are not destinations. That gives the top branch a total penalty of 4000 compared to 3000 of the lower branch with the single enabled stop with a train in auto but without a valid destination (CyanEnd is disabled) The lower path...

There are two ways: First, you can update all mods from the Mod menu -> Updates to keep everything current for when you need them. Second, and what I think you are asking for, Single Player -> Load Game -> Select your save -> Sync mods with save. At the bottom of the list you'll find any of the acti...

Wait, what exactly is the exception again? Either way you're placing down entities then setting them up (or finding existing ones) before ctrl+C or BPing. Your method also suggests modules are replaceable in which case there is no exception. I don't quite follow the reasoning in either of the two c...

You're quite welcome :) If you are interested in modding Factorio, there are a number of resources that might help. Factorio mods are written in LUA script with a few modifications unique to the game engine. You can find some excellent LUA tutorials that will be a good jumping off point here Overvie...

Hey guys I really need help with a mod called high power solar https://mods.factorio.com/mod/High%20Power%20Solar I have taken the liberty of fixing up that mod for use with 1.1.x under the MIT licence for you. There are some irregularities within it that I'm not clear why they are there (sounds), ...

That does work with the temporary blueprint method above. It is just modules that are the exception.
