I loaded up the save and drove over to look. The chunk boundaries don't entirely explain what's happening. The two oil fields in the southwest are in one chunk. The two in the west are in another chunk. The bulk of the rest of the oil fields are in yet another chunk. Yet of that large set of oil fie...

Needs to include a few minifigs to run over when they least expect it.

If you meant that smart furnace set-ups aren't possible with arc furnaces, yes, unfortunately that's true. Arc furnaces have to be an "assembling machine" type entity where you manually select a recipe, because they have one or two different fluid outputs which change depending on the rec...

@Kyralessa that how I searched. It’s the last link in my previous post.

Well, not exactly; you didn't use double-quotes around the mod name.

Due to the name “f-mod” it’s complicated to search for it (phpbb search is not the best). So I found some articles, which lights things a bit up:

If you use Qwant or Google you can use a site search and double quotes to find it. Search for:

(Call it wontfix or minor if you want, but don't NaB-bullshit me again please. )

What's with the attitude?

But then if you want the existing belts left alone, how would you do it?

Whereas if you want to get rid of the existing belts, you can also deconstruct them first.

There's a mod that can change this behavior:

Why do you think this is a bug?

Start a map, see how far you get. If biters are too much of a problem start a new map and disable biters (they're not nessecary for building the rocket). Another good option if you find the biters too tough initially is to increase the size of the starting area. The starting area is the section aro...

Have you played through the mission levels?

Sorry, did it in paint without really thinking about it.

You can avoid this by setting the image size in Paint to something tiny like 10x10 pixels by default. Then it'll expand when you paste something in it.

I do need to make Lead. I have not used circuits very much. I don't believe you can switch the ore washers to use the other recipe. So the solution would need to switch the ore being feed to the washers from a washer using the basic recipe to one using the advanced recipe? Can this be done using be...

The only case I know of in the base game where where you end up with multiple outputs from a single operation is Uranium processing giving you U-235 and U-238. Of course in that case you have a way to change the balance of the two, but only in one direction. You seem to have forgotten about oil. Wh...

A general question about how to deal with over production of oil byproducts and ore washing. What to do with the sulphurous gas? And I have an abundance of tin. What can I do with that. There's a vent you can build to vent out the sulfurous gas, at the cost of causing a lot of pollution. As for the...

How could I make inserters grab items from a chest only after there's a set amount? For example I only want my inserter to grab u235 from the storage chest after there's at least 50 in there. Run a red or green wire from the inserter to the chest. Then you can set a condition to activate the insert...

I wonder if the problem would go away if the player had three armor slots, and a hotkey to swap them - just like weapons. That way you wouldn't be manually switching armor all the time in the first place.

I like this idea!
