...And should be phased out for better technology through research or removed as a need by buildings (assy) which can input direct to belt. This would aid in transitioning to whatever higher throughput belt systems are implemented.

I've often felt like all items should have a volume and cargo wagons should fill based on volume and not by arbitrary squares. This would bring everything in line with fluid wagons and allow for a more appropriate balancing.

In this setup you are not getting any sort of bonus from the train cars. In fact you are wasting potential storage of 3 steel chests I think.


...unless you just had an odd length gap you wanted to fill...

I am interested in playing and your time frame works for me. I am GMT-6 so that lines up right after work for me.

Definitely throw me in the hat.

Personally, If I am in a no biter game I use the map reveal command. If there are biters, it feels like cheating.

Unfortunately there isn't a tooltip that tells you what you are hovering over on a belt. Generally I would Hoover it up (Hold down F) and see what it is.

Nice work on the idea. I am not sure it's truly tillable in the sense it is typically used but none the less good work.

I agree. I am not happy with the solution of "build a big wall around everything".

Trains already do re-path every 5 seconds when stopped at chain signals when the destination is a stop that exists multiple times in the world. In theory this sounds good but the practice simply leaves empty bays for long periods of time. If you have 4 bays all named the same. Lets say a group of 4...

Just to be clear are you saying it is a bug that your player displays "under" the ghost rail?

I Do you switch to robots entirely eventually? What do you do when you start needing 8 blue belts of Iron etc.? Do you already design your factory for this point? Do you rebuild? Or do you just start a whole new main bus that is way upscaled? Think heavily about Compression. 2 Iron Compresses to 1 ...

"Railworld" really feels more like "Less Resources Further Away" mode but i get the idea is for long distance trains.

In practice it doesn't lend as well to LOTS of trains but IDK if this is really a problem.

HAH!

Its stop gap fix but if a true LAN connection is not available to you do to some setting in your router Hamachi or Tungle may help you play as a "LAN" game.

Sounds like your router is not port forwarding properly or is throttling UDP packets over wireless.

Is your WLAN on the same NAT? Same range of IP addresses as your LAN?

I would be curious to know if it worked over, say, a phone hotspot or from another physical location.

hi I think this is a very good idea, because I often have the problem, the trains needlessly stand around, because the path they wanted to drive is blocked, although there are alternatives. Just lately a piece of rail has been destroyed. Thus trains have stopped in the unloading station and have re...

Had a chance to go look at your setup in game and I agree with the last post. Water is simply not getting through. I was able to reorganize your offshore pumps and pipes so that 1 water pump fed 1 row of heat exchangers and the whole system lit up like Christmas. The correct ratio of offshore pumps ...

I have found that distance fixes all shortages in RSO. It becomes very easy to setup remote pumps and load fluid cars to keep up with production. This get's trivial as the game progresses and beacons can be added to pumpjacks. Honestly if you can secure 20-30 pumpjacks you would be hard pressed to h...

Awesome work!

Great job. I do something very similar but I prefer to make it easier to walk through or drive a train next to. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=47944 I might recommend giving gears a full belt and maybe saving room for red next to green circuits. Also it looks like maybe your rai...
