im unsure how well the tester will deal with these, but i find them very useful in mega bases 4 lain mainline with a 2lane branch off it. the pathing weights have to be modified abit to get it working right (should have about equal spawns/outputs for each seperate direction, and 4lane parts should h...

so this is rather big, but the legs are narrow.

im sure hans will fix it shortly, but until then the slimlines bp is: here

i have shut down this thread (as much as I can cos i dont know if threads can be deleted), and made it point towards the main one.
Thanks everyone, and remember, the factory must grow

I have added ruspartisan's design as they had a test results screenshot

can other people also use the actual tester

I will eventually go though all the designs submitted, but priority will be given to those that have already been shown to work in the tester

Bocian2 has published some of his ideas for elevated rail interchanges in this Reddit post . I created blueprints for some of his Celtic Knot designs. Celtic Knot (Variant A) RHD LHD Celtic Knot (Variant B) RHD LHD Variant A is near identical to the design from LuziferSenpai, but Variant B is both ...

to add one of my own designs to the list I present the streamline flyover 3-way https://i.imgur.com/8ZifL10.png its rather wide as a whole, but narrow in profile. I could make it smaller but that would involve making it manual driving un-friendly, or changing the rail spacing. it gets a score of 83....

You can test these designs: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=115929 There are 2x 3-way and 2x 4-way junctions inside. Cube 4-way 2-lane. RHD LHD Idealy people can test these themseves, but given the less than perfect tester (an hour and 20min was not enough time to port the mod...

[reserved for intersections with non-standard train sizes]

This post was made because I had a working 2.0 intersection tester. as the main test thread has updated theirs, please go and use that one

i have an issue. i save and exited while the tester was still running, now the save errors on load (or a fraction of a second after it at least) is there anything i can do? some recent designs are on that save and not backed up as bp strings EDIT: managed to fix it with a "pause multiplayer if ...

Actually, i just realized that you don't have the compact multicross 4lane on the main list. its not much lower score than the full multicross (150 vs 163), while being considerably smaller (350tiles long vs 434), and still easy to build around (only 62 title wide legs) BP string(LHT): https://facto...

as i had already extended the testbed decided to see what sort of numbers an unbuffered would get. so heres a 16lane christmas design. couldn't work out how to do it on 6 spacing, so its 8 spacing with adapters for context, this is worse than a compacted 4lane multicross (the multicross is twice the...

That is really cool:) insane numbers:) I like that you could just adjust the testing map, did you find any issues when doing so? I see that the mod fails in counting number of lanes, that is fixable. Also how is performance? I remember in the old testbench something like this would barely run. it r...

For the fun of it i decided to do a test for a 16 lane multicross (buffers between crossings could probably be better optimized) very good even split distribution, not great all crossing (tbf, a train trying to turn right[on lhd] has to cross 60 tracks on its way through the 1100x1100 intersection) ...

Its great to see someone else start to run another UPS wars. sorry about suddenly disappearing from the first wars, but real world stuff happened that kinda took me out of action. as for the changes made from the first wars: Adding a fixed production target with no bonus for going over, is a great i...

with regards to scaleing, i have broken out a full profiler and will try to see what isnt scaling properly with regards to void chests being slow, aaargha has already made a fix that give 10x performance with large numbers of them, but to keep it fair (and so i dont have to spend 13hours retesting d...

dun dun dun... scandal
402% productivity rather than 400%, at most a 0.5% change in output

looking at it, a disabled inserter does not go to sleep, meaning that a disabled inserter uses more ups than an inserter that cant do anything, but an inserter doing something uses alot more than one that is disabled. therefor disabling inserters are best used when the craft speed is low enough that...
