How do I switch from basic oil processing to advanced? Also can i somehow incorporate cracking into nodes like "basic oil processing to plastic"?. I dont think ill need 2 rafineries for 1 plastic plant if I crack light oil. Delete the basic oil node and drag an advanced one onto the flowc...

I have built beltless bases my self, they are my favorite type of base, since they look clean, they are fast to be built, they are not complex, and they just WORK as expected. At the cost of very high resource input and energy consumption, but they are well worth it. Looks like the only approach i ...

Wont that be solved when the games goes on steam?

I once did a playthrough with my own rule "not allowed to put even one belt down". Was pretty interesting and actually not as hard as I first thought. Even after you have your first robots you still need to carry a lot of stuff around, because you don't instantly have 1000+ robots. You sh...

Ok, i changed all the active chests to passive but i still cant get the iron to te storage chest i put some way from smelting area. I tried to put requester chest and feed storage chest with it. Problem is that logistic bots are retarded and immediately take stuff from storage chest and put it back ...

Is it even possible? I mean i tried not to put any copper on belt BUT because of this logistic robots must fly a long way from smelting area to more remote parts of the base having to recharge on te way. Is it possible to take part of copper plates from the smelting are and put it half the way so it...

I might try that when i finally cure my "playing factorio for 5 minutes and going to bed at 5am" thingy.

Would it be possible to adjust size of the car so i could fit 2 pumps next to each other? Very often its like this http://i.imgur.com/MbyLGvH.png.

I just installed the mod (got tired of restarting map 1000 times to get all resources at the start) but after i revealed part of the map i got this: http://i.imgur.com/I6fXbjc.png Not only are patches of resources rather close but there is also shitton of biters. Now i changed the region_size to 6 b...

No. Look how close those poles are but are not connected. I had to remake one for them to connect.

I wondered why http://i.imgur.com/QFWhKU7.png

I also want to make the resource tiles infinite and specify other things. DyTech lava it looks like this: infinite = true, minimum = 10000, (min yield = 10%?) normal = 250000, (not sure about this) Oil in Base is: infinite = true, minimum = 750, (10%?) normal = 7500, I have seen some screenshots wi...

I have a little question about new tier of bots. I understand that they are faster, and store more energy, but are they affected by speed and cargo size technologies from vanilla?

PS. Electric trains should be part of the game ...

Not that I'm not a newbie anymore ...

Thank you for the explanation. I am just now getting to the "big production of iron and copper". First i have to figure out how to get ore to the furnaces since im trying to do 96 electric furnaces without belts. Either 2 full red belts of iron ore is not enough or im doing smth wrong (I s...

Ill have to go with 3 then, but it make me wonder how can ppl produce green circuit in the hundreds. If i put another 3 further then line and then another itll eventually get starved again :/ Gonna have to experiment with logistic bots.

My current setup looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/5g9bL7S.jpg. As you can see i tried to increase the speed production with yellow machines but the problem is its getting copper starved very quickly. Same thing if I add another set of blue machines to the left. Im just starting to get into red an...

Thats right ... I didnt even think of that. Thank you.

I'm not sure if its a bug or mod issue, but when i request any inserters it gives me the number requested - 50. The only mod I have is increased character inventory.
