Recently I had to account that if recycler spits the same item, it still is seen in the production statistic as produced.
Seems like now it isn't the case for some reason.
Tried to search game changes, was it this fix?

Well, imagine then how would feel making ships to reach solar system end.

I'd say reaching Aquilo is right in between dificulty.
Dificulty 1 - inner planets, 2 - Aquilo, 3 - Shuttered.
There is limitted amoun of content in the game, you want more gradual ladder with many easier steps, but writing ...

Seems like the guy did all planets almost from scratch, THEN learn they could just import everything and build science production im half an hour.
I agree with previous replies, either it's from scratch like Nauvis (no armor, no bots) or no achievement.

If it's just about the vision, did you consider using the Nightvision equipment module instead of lamps?

I don't have a single lamp to light my bases, just a few lamps for giving a status of some kind, and I see everything perfectly.


I've always used night vision, until I take it off for some ...

If I understood right, it could easily be achieved with combinations of splitters.
It's general rule of thumb not to add such things, to keep core idea that anything from basic ones and zeroes, even if you had to come up with some 'trick' that has become basic themselves. That's why they don't add ...

I can't parameterize a message on a display panel, right?

Or at least display a value of a signal? Hard to believe.

Did I get this right, if a platform has a request from the planet it's above, it completely ignores a a request from this planet for same item?

I want a platform to satisfy a request from a planet, but keep some amount locked. How do I achieve it?

p.s. setting upper limit on platform's request ...

I "develop" rich text labels in an external ascii text editor such as Windows notepad. You can copy any rich text with symbols or color in the game and it will paste as ascii text in the external editor, so this is a way to get the text again.


Nice tip, thank you very much :ugeek:
Shame you ...

I'm messing with display panels.
Do you know how to enable/disable rich text?
As soon as I finish typing, it enables automatically and I can't change it. For example, change the color of the text.

To simplify, as soon as I type the last symbol ] of [img=item.iron-plate,
it transforms into the ...

Destroying molten metal to get stone seems quite niche, but it's not that hard to make metal plates and destroy those anyway.



It's the very thing that pushed me to make a suggestion, not Aquilo. It's not that it's hard (ffs! :evil:), it's absurd .



Ice wouldn't sink on aquilo ...



The ...

The "proper" way to do this is by Crafting an item which utilizes the surplus fluid, and then Recycling (or space/lava-dumping) the item. The Flare Stack mod provides liquid-dumping capabilities (even for Molten Iron!).



I'm aware of how to solve the problem in a current version of the game ...

TL;DR
Let us dump fluids into corresponding oceans


What?
Let molten copper and iron being dumped into lava.
Let ammonia (and ice) being dumped into ammonia ocean.
With an offshore pump maybe.
Maybe other fluids (like water and ice in water oceans, heavy oil on Fulgora) for consistency.
Also ...

Fudge, how did I miss that. Maybe search was too specific...
Also just found 131144

TL;DR
Heat pipes should light up with color when pointed with a cursor, like pipes.



Why?
One typically have a net of heat pipes on Aquilo. When rebuild, it's hard to see if different parts of it are still connected or not. I personally several times found chunks of my base frozen. The same ...

Thought I could avoid it, didn't want to share all my blueprints with public. Had to delete them first.
Hatchlings froze on Nauvis base.
Enemies patrolling frozen everywhere.

Searching the forum, found this bug as resolved https://forums.factorio.com/118055

Current situation: patrolling enemies doesn't move unless a spidertron comes near. Rarely one or two of them move freely among others frozen, feels creepy. Like in the matrix. Didn't even noticed at first because ...

Update.
Okay, it gets a lot of testing.
But It appears a recycler can be overfilled either with plates or with cables.
In that case it's how it's supposed to be.
Diviation from average increases with amount. Like it's ulikely to get 10 less heads than tails in 20 throws, but expected in 1000 ...

I get a recycler that is fed with infinite supply of green chips and feeds a single assembler that builds green chips. Assemblers speed is a bit lower, so the recycler stops periodically because is overfilled. But assembler should never stop, so I thought. But for some reason I see assembler stopped ...

How to set up logic to make an assembler/ect to not start a new cycle?

Use the "set recipe" option and stop sending any recipe signal. It will finish the current craft and then stop.


Sinse I need approximatelly one cycle per minute, hence set recipe every cycle, the method doesn't fit my ...

Shit. Of course. Thank you much.
