Ah the good old days when my search for the error message "there are no trains" returned no results because all the words were stripped out as common! Happy to report that at least now I get results when I search using quotation marks.

Ooooh now the agri tower is... a beacon! I like it!

is it possible to force it to leave immediately, and carry on to the next not-yet-disabled Unload stop?


Yes. Check the box on the train stop to 'send to train.' Have the train check for a circuit condition, using the same logic that disables the station. When that circuit condition is true, the ...

Hmm now I want a mod for a building based on an agritower that harvests trees to produce a given recipe like a wooden tank!

There is a mod for that: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Enemy_Color

This would be very handy for my ACME trains - trains that pick up and deliver a mixture of items for different tasks, like setting up a new mining outpost or a new reactor complex. Some of the conditions get a little complex because of the disjunctive normal form. It would be very convenient to be ...

I don't carry around the pistol after I get other weapons but I agree that it just makes sense I am picking up my weapons, I am putting them back where I want them, not in some random order.
And yes, Yes, YES stop spamming information in the centre of my field of view, not just when reclaiming my ...

I am wondering what this does to the scale on the production graph... yeah producing and consuming 20K science packs per minute and what was that? 2.5M eSPM? And suddenly you can't see anything else on the production graph...
Perhaps giving eSPM its own tab like pollution or kills?

1. What did I do?
I placed an EM plant on my space platform to make processing units (blue chips).
I connected the EM plant to my acid producing chem plant, and waited for the pipes and plant to fill with acid.
I rotated the plant to remove the acid pipe connection as my sulfur production wasn't ...

You might find it helpful to review the overview of logistic groups from the FFF https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-382
As described in the FFF, if you modify a named logistic group, that change shows up everywhere that group is used, whether in your personal logistics, a platform request, a ...

How peculiar! Also heating towers generate pollution, while producing heat: https://wiki.factorio.com/Heating_tower I do not understand...

As an alternative to building enough nuclear to power your entire factory, it is possible to set your labs to "sleep" overnight, thus not requiring the rest of your factory to work when your solar panels are sleeping. Given a small solar panel/accumulator set up on its own power network to detect ...

This deserves a new achievement category, how close can you get to finishing a timed achievement exactly on time. 39:59:55 Wow!

Interesting! I have not tried this so I don't have answers but I do have more questions.

What happens if you leave the craft starved of nutrients for fuel for the full 15 minutes? Does the egg spoil into a baby pentapod?

What happens if you cancel the crafting by changing the recipe in the ...

The attention to detail, the thoughtful approach to the work, the obvious care and support for users... It sounds like you would be a good fit working for Wube!

I tend not to watch videos for exactly the reason you mentioned. It is hard to craft a good video but it sounds like you have clear goals ...

Maybe add support for dragging items across logistics groups?

I also had this issue switching between normal and legendary sciences. My problem could be solved with an "active science" group and an "inactive science" group and dragging items across them.


So many times I have wanted to do this!

Being able to set requests via circuit conditions would be very cool, but what about a different paradigm? You can set the schedule to tell the platform to unload to a planet or not. What if you could have a setting in the schedule to tell the platform whether or not it could request from the planet ...

Glad you got your stacker working!

I set up my stackers so each lane has its own train stop with a train limit of one. That way I don't have to adjust any other limits when I add a stacker, and I can add in a new stacker block whenever and wherever. I also use separate stackers for full and empty ...
