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.

How to set up logic to make an assembler/ect to not start a new cycle? Turning it off just interrupts current cycle.
It's important for me because the product begins to rot before a recipe finishes. For example if the cycle of 'Nutrients from bioflux' started and was stopped, nutriets start rot. And ...

Is it fixed in 2.0.30? Right?


It is not fixed in 2.0.30 - it just makes it more likely for recyclers to stack based on what they have.

Either do the chest combinator stack inserter setup; or add more belts to handle unstacked capacity. If recyclers handled it for you there is a UPS cost to ...

Funny how yo use this argument when factorio is exactly type of game for ones who's having fun optimizing. The type of game where optimizing and having fun are not opposites.

Hello, thank you for your report! I must admit I didn't expect the result order to matter as in the tooltip it doesn't, but I didn't think of the ordering in the outputs resulting in better or worse belt stacking.

I guess you are refering to this mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/better-scrap ...

No, it isn't.

Is there a way to search for a star by name without direct link?
I have no idea where my star in galaxy is, link just shows stats, not a star itself. What colour, what size is it, I have no idea.

Is it possible to set condition "(A or B) and C" ?
upd. Immidiatelly after posting it as a formula I realized that (A or B) and C = (A and C) or (B and C), and that condition I can set.
So maybe that settles the question, but if it's possible to set (A or B) and C, let me know, please, I didn't find ...

Is there a way to manually offload something when you have a landing pad and requests?

Surely this can't be a thing. I stick items in the orbital drop slots manually, don't care where they go as long as they go to the surface, and nothing happens. It is misc stuff, making a request for each would ...

Agreed. More consistency is appreciated, it should work as existing before simple/advanced oil refinery.

If I had encountered this, it would have broken my immersion as fuck. Disgusting.
I'd report this as a bug. Too bad problems like this have very low priority.

TLDR
'Autorequest missing construction materials' tick on platform should have 'import from' filter, just as all other requests for consistency and convenience of using existing mechanics.

Why?
I think 'Autorequest missing construction materials' should have option be used not only during ...

I just lost hundreds of quantum chips because of this weird mechanic of some items being deleted and others don't.


That's rought, buddy. That obviously shouldn't be the case and need fixing.

On the other hand, when I rebuild platform, I have to clean hub from asteroids and other trash (maybe ...

I set up the interrupt mechanism for the space platform, but it only activates after reaching the first station. It doesn't trigger between them. Is there any way to fix this? It doesn't trigger even when the conditions are met. In the screenshot, you can see the fulfilled conditions and the gray ...
