Its cool with us, you're there in person together, especially if the game can bring some comfort in a difficult time
Cool bud. I thought it would be in line with your general views, but I wanted to be sure.

If OP wants to pirate the game that is up to him, no one really cares, neither me nor Wube I think. But it is against the terms so it's a bit weird to publically instruct on how to pirate the game on the official forums.


We don't really consider playing with a friend or relative in ...

Re: Kovarex Enrichment | Inserters

Just to point it out -

If you're dead set on X centrifuges and definitely absolutely don't want to use circuits or other logic, one solution would be to feed the centrifuges with a 1 to X balancer and give each centrifuge it's own incoming u-235 line.

It's not how I would go about it, but it's an ...

I'm inclined to think that this is a mod issue as I haven't experienced behaviors like that before.


It's actually not a bug and happens with the vanilla game. The 1000 items in logistic storage are in buffer chests, and so the bots ...

I don't know if this is your situation or not, but the only time I've seen bots do that is when they're out of space in the roboports to land/fit in.


Yeah, that's what I thought at first too. It's not the case here though. At the very start of the video file, there's a hovering robot. Player ...

Re: bot just hovers above roboport for no reason


That is a construction bot. Check the construction alerts in the bottom right, is something missing materials?


Even if there is, that suggests a bug. Con bots aren't supposed to launch until they have a job *and* can reserve the materials to do the job. Looks to me like the bot thinks there's ...

Re: How do you all explore the map?

This is the way I generally go about it. Your mileage may vary.

Pre rocket launch, I just push out with the tank or spidertron and use it to clear the area when I want to claim something.

Post rocket launch -
I like to have a certain level of artillery range upgrades. 6 or so. I'll mark on the map ...

I guarantee that the pipe you laid did not block the base from absorbing pollution. If that base stopped absorbing pollution, it was because of other factors.

Yeah, I like using the decon planner as a filter for completely blocking the output of a splitter too. For this specific application where I want to jam just one output lane though, rocks are pretty much just always on hand at a build site and if they aren't wood will be.

The other method i think would imply splitter priority so that you overflow 1 lane only with things like fish to block it behind that splitter. I don't know how to do with only 1 rock.


We're probably thinking about the same thing. I misspoke though, it's actually 3 rocks. Or you know, any ol ...

I would miss that behavior even though i'm not using it "all the time" , not every cases where i use it can be easily replaced if the limit was set internally to 0, i find it useful to have the choice between the 2 behavior.

So let's say you have a belt with the same type of goods on both lanes. You want to send one lane of those goods, and *only* that lane of goods to a destination. Both lanes being 100% full is not guarenteed. Is using an underground still the main way of going about this? I'm thinking yes but wanted ...

Re: [1.1.69] Trains get stuck if the destination is disabled and other are full


When using the station limit you should not disable stations. Instead reduce the station limit to 0.


That's pretty much the answer, though it's noteworthy that there's a useful exception if you're following that rule -

You can disable a station in the situation that it's a station with a ...

will just get rid of the enable/disable entirely for 1.2 (it will be replaced with internally forcing limit to 0). There will be no longer "skip schedule record" behavior.


Oh god, please don't do that. Especially not without talking to a lot of rail addicts about it first. I use that feature ...
