Sorry, I got confused by your description. So you keep the limit at 10 U-235 all the time?

As I can't load the savegame without switching to the experimental build, I can't check directly, but something else might be the issue. The machines at the beginning of your setup work without breaks, these ...

Hm, how exactly do you want to cut down the number of inserer passes to 4 for 40 U-235 and the U-238? You'll always need at least 4 for the U-235 as the maximum inserter capacity is 12.

In general the odd breaks might be caused by exactly this stack size. At least it would explain a pause every 3 ...

I did something like that - but it's not something simple. There are a lot of mean borderline cases to check, and if something goes wrong or is set up in a wrong way, the system can easily break hard.

I have special circuitry for delivering station, provider stations and a central part, all ...

I remember car belts as weird massive throughput solution before.

But that tops it. Well done.

How is using the productivity bonus a handycap?

For example for copper plates. With standard T3 quality modules in the foundry there's a 10% chance I get some quality plates. If I feed the non-quality plates into a recycler directly with quality modules, I get 0.25 plates output, again with a ...

I really have to disagree with the notion that basically everything beyond legendary is useless...

While setting up a large scale production on Fulgora without legendary quality yet, I'm really happy to have a lot of rare and uncommon accumulators, for example. They are much more space efficient ...

Actually, it's a very exact ratio: 5 Red, 6 green, 5 grey, 12 blue, 7 yellow, 7 purple and 3 white will give you exactly 75 SPM for each.

So the problem is either that the inserters feeding the EMPs aren't fast enough (I doubt that, but better check it anyway) or that you can't get the items quick enough onto the belt.

You might try to move the both sides one field closer to each other, so that the opposite sides actually fill on ...

I built a simple module which turns standard calcite into basic quality ingrediants: Iron plates, gears, bricks, steel, copper plates and copper wire. For each basic ingrediant I have one production chain with quality modules. It became quite a spaghetti mess, but it works:

There's no "correct" answer to this. My personal preferance is to aim for 75 SPM for the six science packs on Nauvis and space science. With T3 assemblers, you'll get really nice ratios for that and you have a decent research progress. If you squeeze in three productivity modules and one speed ...

I believe there quite a lot of types of players out there:

- "Spaghetti"-builders who expand without a bigger plan in mind and try to control the chaos as it grows.
- Planers with dedicated goals, who set down production lines with the correct ratios to reach their goal
- City block builders which ...

Hm, I checked this link out. The problem I see here is that a scripting language is not a good way to describe combinator circuits.

As I started to use them, I treated signals as variables, and tried to emulate small programs. It lead to very bloated and problematic designs. Look at this ...

That would be especially useful for those coal patches on Vulcanus.

You can actually load up to 24 different goods in a single train car if you use two rows of requester chests on each side and fill the train with long inserters. You can see that for one of the train cars in my blueprint book, actually.

Good idea, however you seem to have left out this one and ...

Just to show you an example - that's my wall BP book, including train stations for the main base to resupply and stations for the wall sections to deliver. In my case I have two different trains: One building train which is mostly used in the actual setup of the wall and delivers everything which is ...

You might try to reactivate them via console. There are some console commands regarding that.

They'll only spawn in parts of the map which you haven't uncovered yet, though.

You have to assign the remote to a specific spidertron. I believe you have to select the remote and right-click on the spidertron? I'm not 100% sure, I can't verify it myself right now.

Yes, you can set signals to red if you want to. In German it says "Signal schließen".

You can't forcefully set it to green, though - if a train blocks the section, the signal will be red.

There is no enviromental cooling. That was never part of the game and there was never an intention to add it as such as far as I know.

Heat pipes cool by giving up heat to heat exchangers, though, generating steam. Bascially, heat is a ressource which you can store forever. Just as you can store ...
