This seems to be an idea that keeps coming back. I also think it would be a wonderful thing to have biters be just a bit more savy.

Don't forget to look at your inserters too. you have one blue inserter to insert one iron plate and three copper cables every half second which means your electronic circuit assemblers aren't working as fast as they could be. Try placing two more blue inserters to put stuff into each of your assembl...

Modular reactor!!!! Hehe I realise it would be more difficult to implement but really would be something new and interesting.

Maybe you could tell us what makes mk2 robots different from regular robots?

Watchout for switching between adv. processing and basic processing on the refinery, you have an error where it does not properly read which recipe to use because the merged field on the refinery level is considered C12, light and gas output values aren't changed

I was too wrapped up in trying to find the best solution, but you are right, the first question we must ask ourselves is, "Is this actually something we need to fix?"

hmm I had actually seen that post but completely missed it on my first read through, thanks

A friend sent me a link to the trailer, my first thought upon seeing the trailer : OMG! That looks amazing.

Second though, halfway through the demo, I'm going to buy this anyways why am I still playing the demo. I finished the demo and five minutes later had the full game installed and running.

I've got a few ideas I'd like to try with that dataset myself, thanks for all the hard work.

I've been thinking about this a lot and I'd like to chime in with my opinion and the reasoning behind it. The problem as stated is that fuel is being removed from locomotives even when the player doesn't want it to be. While changing the behaviour of inserters or a subset of inserters is one possibl...

Just to be sure though this has nothing to do with corners, unless I'm missing something? What the OP seems to be showing is that for a perfectly straight fixed length of belt, fast belts cannot hold as many items as basic or express belts ...that doesn't make much sense.

Very interesting...looks like an impressive amount of work. This will come in handy as I update the layout of my base.

I think this needs to be considered carefully before changing anything... inserters are fundamental to the game and any change to them could lead many unintended consequences.

Same here I haven't even tried to get it yet ...just been trying to optimize my base, come up with some good blueprints and see how much of the map I can occupy

Thanks for a wonderfully useful mod. I've got some big plans for my train network with this.

Unless you plan ahead and know how much of each item you will need then the biggest problem with everything on a belt is throughput. As the line gets longer and more processes use up materials on the belt you will find the belts getting more and more empty yet adding more miners or furnaces won't he...

Thnaks great video, really clears a few things up.

Well assuming I understood correctly the most significant thing mentioned in his post is that powered armor modules are active while riding in a vehicle, so loading up a powered armor suit with personal laser defenses and climbing into a tank = laser tank!

Thank you for the tuts -root and big thank you to ssilk. Really helps when we all use the same terms.
