When you look at the Factorio multiplayer system as a whole, it is a very short distance away from avionics-grade reliability and redundancy. The only thing missing is proactive error correction in some places. This happens to be the direction the developers chose to put a lot of their time and ...

It's effectively partially disabled now, except the message to the user is by spoiling the first large batch they try to hand-process. If there was a hard limit on how many spoilable items you could queue, or some sort of text warning that the result might spoil before you're done crafting then it ...

Everything gets simpler if you decide to allow loaded trains to wait at the loading stop until needed. Then you can use a generic interrupt with just one stop (unload [cargo item]). And the loading stations are the depots they return to.

I know this was a feature in 1.1 so that you could select only straight or only curved rails. Now that there are 6 flavors of rails (plus elevated), it would be really nice if a shortcut exists for "all rails".

Yes, the only generic system that seems to be officially supported is to have one interrupt dispatching empty trains from the depot to a loading station, and a second interrupt dispatching loaded trains to the unloading station of the resource it contains.

Thinking about it again, the solution ...

I think it will make much more sense if you use the Priority setting to increase the priority of the loading stops based on how few trains are already waiting loaded with that resource. That way you don't need one train for every loading stop necessarily, and you can ensure that the next empty train ...

I got a bunch of X-recycling recipes removed notices on my saves. I DID save a copy after the patch. So I have before & after. Looks benign to me though. I got:

tank-machine-gun-recycling
vehicle-machine-gun-recycling
tank-flamethrower-recycling
some wirestuff-recycling.


They removed recycling ...

I see what the problem is. This system will not work if there are more load stations than unload stations.

When the first train departs, it reserves one of the two spots at the load station but does not yet reserve any spots at the unload station. The second train also departs, reserving the second ...

And add bidirectional passing blocks at the start and end of long bidirectional tracks so the train doesn't have to reserve intersections while it is traveling a long way to get there.

The problem described in this bug report hinges on the fact that new temporary stops are added after the current destination if it is a temporary or interrupt stop and the train is immediately sent to the newest/last temporary stop, skipping the interrupt stop completely. . This is not how non ...

Thank you very much!

And I thought that solution to this was just to set limit equal to zero when enable/disable checkbox is selected. Is there any chance to get some insight on why this is more complicated than that?

(I assume) The logic in the game that prevents a new train from pathing toward a station until the ...

Thanks for fixing this! I think this is the correct behaviour if the intention is to make disabled and limit=0 behave the same.

However there is a small inconsistency in the ingame tooltip in the station GUI (emphasis mine):


Enable/disable: "the train stop will be considered full and no new ...

Rseding91 kindly pointed out my math errors in 119782, so that one is not a bug and unrelated to this report.

Thank you for pointing out my mistake. Somehow I had convinced myself that the box definition was {{x1, x2}, {y1, y2}} when it is actually {{x1, y1}, {x2, y2}}. I will fix this and try again. Cheers!

Not if like current state of affairs is representing bigger problem, since I have to fill shipping lists manually anyway.
Players don't always eke out hundreds of space platform modules per minute into their stockpiles, you know.


That's precisely the reason for this change. Imagine your space ...

Internally, I don't know how distinct the two states are, and thus how likely it is for the new code in this bugfix to intentionally or accidentally handle one condition but not the other.


Condition was checking for limit to be 0, just to make sure it remains consistent i made it also apply ...

Does this represent a new difference between setting Disabled=True versus setting Limit=0?


According to this post , the difference will be removed :

The crucial thing is to set train limit to 1 or 0 to signal a station is requesting a train or not. It doesn't work if you enable/disable the ...
