Re: How can I make my train lines more efficient?

file2.jpg I added some Chained signal with paint at the end of the reds lines. Not sure the game would allow you to place them in those little spot, on a curve. This would create 2 blocks, a yellow one and a green one, instead of only 1 block. Allowing train to join orange sides throught different ...

Re: Rail bridge interchange with no shared track (rail bridges mod)

failed at editing previous post, so here comes double post. Did you notice how times fly so fast when you are doing those ? i have tried a few designs and ended up founding a very similar to original design, a little different, no more horizontal or vertical symetry. Here it is: 20190707221453_1.jpg...

Re: How can I make my train lines more efficient?

On the first picture, it's easy, there are no tracks that could make a train go in a wrong direction. You have made the entrance and exit one way. The arrows are correct. If you manually place a train trying to enter from an exit, the train will tell "no path", even if there IS a path, the...

Re: How can I make my train lines more efficient?

''One thing you can add on this one is a pair of chain signal on each side of each diagonal portion of the round about.'' I don't understand what you mean. Add signals inside the roundabout? I assume that doing it will filter what the train is looking for... right now, it says ''only one train can ...

Re: Rail bridge interchange with no shared track (rail bridges mod)

Are you allowed to share the U turn ? or is this qualify of some sort ? I tried to put the diamond inside a roundabout, some lanes are "too many" sort of. Impressed by the other design so far :D roundiamond.jpg 0eNqdne1uFEkSRd+lf9tS5Wdl8Sqr0QoGL9sSGGTMaEcj3n3todoL3sjuc/oXghlfR2XcyK+4GfHX4d...

Re: Biters — are they really "enemies"?

They do not consider their planet. They do not organise to defend it ( unless you use mods). They are less organised than ants, which would try to kill and eat you and will suceed given enough time or number. ( or just bigger ants some of them are really vicious) They are inoffensive late game, and ...

Re: How can I make my train lines more efficient?

It is fairly uncommon to have 4 parallel tracks that are all 2 ways track. Most of the time out of the 4, like a road, people tend to build 2 track one way, and 2 track the other way. It is more difficult what you did I would say because of the risk that trains deadlocks, when facing each other on t...

Re: Is a pure modular logistics system viable?

They do recharge, my idea is to have just the correct number or a little less than what is needed for the task in an isolated network. This way you can easily cover the path with recharge pads that they will use for very short time, as soon as they level drop a threshold, a flying belt in a way. You...

Re: Is a pure modular logistics system viable?

After further experiment I discovered that robotchest are greatly overated, you don't need to place them at all :D just some charge pads and having the robots flying 100% of time is fine. When they don't know where to go they just stand there instead of in a chest and that's just fine. Good thing i ...

Re: Is a pure modular logistics system viable?

Well you could play without bots in vanilla at all and still send the rocket , or build a megabase. So you could do the same with the modular roboports. Not using any and still enjoy your base; if you WANT IT to work, you can MAKE IT WORK. I wouldn't want to ask for something before i have tried eve...

Re: Is a pure modular logistics system viable?

It is a poor advice to actually disabled vanilla roboport completly then, you could test both setups and make some obstacle courses for the robots to see what distance they can do without the need to charge with classic roboports and compare that with robotchest to define the size of the areas you c...

Re: How does uranium processing not cause desync?

I was confused, Rowhammer is not about cosmic rays, "soft memory error" is about cosmic rays. In wikipedia the two are compared as similar physical phenomenon, Rowhammer would function on an deep burried machine, what you need is the ability to ask for reading the memory a lot, it induce o...

Well It may have changed since last time I used them, from what i am reading, i need to try those again before i give more advices :roll: ! Robots looking for the closest point to recharge when they run low, is fine, they will not clog the robotchest. Robots STILL using the robotchest because they a...

Re: How does uranium processing not cause desync?

Yes, a computer can generate truly random numbers without adding any special hardware or using any input channel - if it is "vulnerable" to the Rowhammer attack I read the wiki page and some of the reference, this one is tricky. The randomness of the numbers is not in question here. I wou...

Re: How does uranium processing not cause desync?

I disregard the non-philosophical implications of the discussion :) In my head the question is : can a computer flip a coin ? and I thought it was no, like for the camera feed, someone else has flipped the coin, the computer just read the answer; another computer with the same feed would do the same...

Re: Is a pure modular logistics system viable?

You can try it for yourself first in a small new map using /cheat all, 1 robot chest, full of robots, and 0 or 50 chargepoint to see the difference.To my memory robots will consider recharge pads the closest near the robotchest they want to go if said robotchest is already charging the maximum numbe...

Re: How does uranium processing not cause desync?

Also computer can easily do random, just use the lowest bits from a camera feed. Enough quantum magic going on there. Isn't that cheating like picking up random numbers from the lottery ? It feels to me like what would be random there would be the output of the feed, but that wouldn't require quant...

Re: Is a pure modular logistics system viable?

My experience on the subject is one year old, so it may have change, but i don't think in the way of being less viable. I don't particularly remember a setting to disable the vanilla roboports but i didn't need them anyway. One example of use for the recharge pad is when you have 10 station unloadin...

I roughly counted an average of 86 train per fish, on average, but over a large sample.
