The issue if I am not mistaken is that you aren't using Petroleum (or Light Oil) at all, and you don't have Heavy Oil because you cracked it all into Light Oil? This is the sort of problem that combinators exist to fix (pre 0.13, this was, imo the single most practical use for combinators in the en...

In my previous map I built controller for oil process. Something like that: https://i.gyazo.com/98eb1daf13d914b01d6b8ba533cd2e14.png Of course in game I did some tweaks but principle idea was the same and it worked quite well. It turned really small amount of Light Oil into Solid fuel and only when...

In my current game I have 1 tank for petroleum gas, as I mentioned before this is mostly just for measuring use. I have 1 tank for lube and one for sulfuric acid. I do not have any tanks for crude, heavy or light oil. I do have a supply of crude in barrels that sits around 3-500 full barrels at any...

How does an inability to make engines stop you from making batteries or red circuits? Or are you saying that those items are not being consumed means you have no demand for them? If that's the case then it sounds like you are over-producing gas. If necessary you can stop cracking heavy and light oi...

Yea it's hard. I have 50 mods installed to choose from XD

Deadlock. When I say this, most peoples brains go to a picture of a complicated and badly designed train intersection. But I found another kind of deadlock. An oil deadlock. Or rather, an oil-product deadlock. The following happened to me today. I was designing my robot build. When I turned it on it...

... might as well claim using a car, instead of a horse, is cheating, it's extremely outdated mentality. Modding isn't cheating... Except for that cars are actually in the game. (and horses are not for some reason....). But in the end you are right in that modding isn't really cheating. It's more t...

1.Big Bags A must have Somehow this feels like a cheat (I don't wanna cheat, I just want to make life easier for myself without taking away from the challenge) but after thinking about it, it isn't really a cheat.

Being a programmer myself I really feel that this particular instance has something to do with the FactorioMaps mod. The corruption occurred right after creating a map. Or during actually. My guts says that this was just some weird interplay between the API used by the mod and the game itself. If I ...

I'm sorry. It was with 0.12.35

Please upload the log-file. With what version of the game was the map originally created? I'm afraid that the relevant log file was quickly overwritten. Without really thinking, I tried to reload my game from my own save file (not an autosave) which I know wasn't corrupted. When the map loaded up i...

I got a message saying that the game state was corrupted. This is a link to two save files, one is the last working (an autosave) and one is the corrupted save.

Got this error upon map generation:

The entire thing could even be scaled up... for example to take more advantage of the stack inserter's huge stack bonus. So if you specify 10 items as limit it will work too, which is what I also tried. I think that you're right (not in the position to test right now). Smart :). I first thought it ...

A buffer chest wouldn't help much to overcome the problem... once the wrong number of items is inside the chest... it's inside. And how do you correct it to the intended number? :s You do it like this, you feed the box contents back to the stack filter inserter: http://i.imgur.com/hdkV74I.png The c...

Though I question myself what happens if the output side of the inserter gets clogged? Is the setup stall resistant or does one have to ensure that it never gets clogged on the output side? Just tested it and it is stall resistant.. Well I found a little problem... or at least some awkward behaviou...

Sir, this is ingenious! Let's see if I can build a smart furnace setup using belts this way... It might be possible with that setup. Though I question myself what happens if the output side of the inserter gets clogged? Is the setup stall resistant or does one have to ensure that it never gets clog...

My guess is that he uses inverted flummoxing through bit-reversion in combination with real-multiplexing of virtual signals. Like in the Tetris implementation. Ehhh, what? Now in english plz :) BTW, are there any info sources on combinators I'm missing out on? Like a specific thread or wiki page or...

What you can do is create another inserter right next to your loading inserter that first takes any remaining items out and recycles them (perhaps feeds them back to your loading mechanism). Then you would have the loading inserter wait until the unloading inserter is done. To detect that it is done...
