The new update looks great.

There is just one thing that sprins to mind when i see the reactor though,
reactors actually glow blue when they are active. (which is very cool)

On the other hand, it probably would be look strange that green glowing ore makes a reactor glow blue.

You should also look at the power consumption and internal capacitor. (Christ)
I own and play Shenzien i/o, but i only started in the middle of making 3rd page
I like to think that the datsheet would be less of a tutorial if i didin't, though.

I like to think that the machines in factorio are built from blueprints that are bought by the factorio company (or whatever organisation that makes this cancerous factory growth happen). So i decided to write datasheets (beacause im a wierdo that thinks that these things are fun) for the different ...

I read this and realized that i have no clue about how efficient the different operations are.
Im probably going to do some benchmarking to see how this will turn out.

Here is a series of tables i made to show the how loaders work in comparison to Fast insterter based train unloaders (Items Per Second is for each insterter and ins stands for Fast insterter) Reference examples: ==================================================================================== = S...

Theres one little thing im hoping that you fix:
that is that you can produce water from the black area using a offshore pump.

Delay

In the game code, locomotives have a weight of 2000, and cargo wagons 1000 regardless of what's IN either. Every unit has a "friction" value, and I believe its the same for both. Power-to-weight ratio is not the sole determinate to acceleration and top-speed, as the added friction from le...

While only the locomotive has an engine, every wagon has brakes.

I was very tired at the time of writing that is also why parts of the

thanks for pointing it out!

i belive that "burner" machines are run by a stirling engine and are completly mecanical.
stirling engines can run of any kind of heat and are very effient, but require extensive cooling

trains are a intresting subject for me, and naturaly i wanted to see what i could do to learn about them. so i conducted i couple of experiments. Most of this should be fairly obious, but i described the experiments in detail for those who are intrested. experiment #1 - train speed =================...

how about a new "precison insterter" that can only take/place items from/to only one line, but can be configured to take from one specific line to another?

Or even Walk speed?

Fortunately for you, you can upgrade power armor to increase walking speed.

although i love the new power breaker i do belive that it looks kind off odd. why make a big heavy (and overengineered) machine when you can use a disconnector (google it) also i would love a way to stop trains as i still have train problems (there are a tiny chocke point that only fits 3 rail lines...

just remember to allow eletric pole-wires to be able to control rail signals.
i have nightmarish logistic problems with the trains and i hope being able to automaticly disable trains not in use would help.
