I have a small factory and restarting nutrients is a pain in the ass. You need an abnormal amount of spoilage to get it going again and the nutrient production in the biochambers takes so many nutrients, it's absurd. This is not fun, it's nothing but a major pain in the ass.

It forces you to really consider how to use signals and switches to balance your grid, conserve fuel and limit pollution. You don't have signals and switches that early, so it makes sense that a comparatively weak power source (that also causes significant pollution and takes away precious space ea...

Whatever it's main point or not - early game on Gleba is frustratingly hard compared to Vulcanus and Fulgora. I completely agree. I'ts not that I dislike the spoilage mechanic. It's that I feel that I can't progress, until I figured out every step of all the paths I must take, immediately. On other...

I have the following BP 11-16-2024, 14-18-44.png The Inserter that feeds into the storage chest should insert X stacks of the produced item. My problem is that I don't know how I can ask the player to provide a number. And then I need to use that number and multiply it with the stack sice of {0} 11-...

I named it Nostromo . It is designed for ~75 % efficiency with the most simple circuit I could think of, and I decided to go for minimal width for maximum speed. It will start at 51% but will settle at ~75% after a couple of seconds. Power on Nauvis is a problem I haven't solved yet. Probably just a...

Same here. If I require only 5 inserters and 5 belts and 5 underground belts - and nothing else! - then a rocket with exactly that content should be launched into space without requiring me to add any circuitry. Instead, 5 rockets are launched into space with a full stack of each of the three items....

That's cool and all, but which of my machines do have a buffer? Where's the problem in my case?

I learned that unloading only works if you request it on the cargo landing pad. Maybe both needs to be active, the request and the Unload checkbox?

That is awesome, thank you!

I have a small electric network with 3 x beacons (no modules), 1 x chemical plant, 1 x steam turbine. The network runs on an isolated, disconnected substation. There are no other power poles or substations in the vicinity. The image shows a fourth beacon, that I add later. 11-10-2024, 20-40-55.png T...

Please add a click to enlarge feature to images posted in the forum. Wanting to get some inspiration here, the images are full resolution, but shrinked to fit into the layout. However, you can't see anything on these tiny images and right-clicking them indiviually to view them in a separate tab is j...

Found the problem, it was a full output. Can be closed. Sorry about the noise.

Done


Edit: After some playing around, it works with a new crusher that is setup exactly the same. One works, the other doesn't. I'm now 2.0.14.

I have a decider combinator that puts out a recipe that the machine won't accept. It says "No Recipe". (Pink lines) When using a constant combinator to output a recipe it works. (Green lines) 11-03-2024, 15-40-30.png Edit: After some playing around, it works with a new crusher that is setu...

I am trying to understand how fluid consumption works. I have setup a fully fuelled thruster in the editor, paused the game, removed the input pipes, set a destination and then played the game for exactly sixty ticks. The consumption of the thruster is defined as 120/s. However, after 1 second (60 t...

How do I add modules to buildings in sandbox mode?

Can someone explain the thruster performance curves? 11-03-2024, 12-04-49.png The thruster consumes thruster fuel and oxidiser for 120/s each. The fluid usage says "200% when fulfilled to 80%". I don't understand that. Is that related to how much fuel I feed into the thruster? If so, what ...

Will I be able to buy it directly from factorio.com and get a Steam key? I think I could do this with Factorio 1, but nothing on the website suggests this is possible with F2.

Good luck tomorrow, Wube. Would be interesting to hear if the release is a scheduled task, and fully automated, the office closed, and you all gathered at some vacation resort, relaxing in some pool tomorrow at 1100UTC. Let's just say we have a checklist involving a few buttons to press and we hope...
