Although building ghosts if out of reach would work well in some situations, I think there are many others when it would be strange or even annoying. As a different approach, but not quite the same, how about a toggle key that inverts the build ghost function of Shift? Like Caps Lock (which seems th...

Which values entered into these mod settings correspond exactly to vanilla? https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Clockwork https://mods-data.factorio.com/assets/abdb92ed770051d01fc83964c254fd203566ceae.png I could try setting those, and then removing the mod... I think that approach will work. The values ...

I’ve been getting into trains recently and am constantly seeing mentions of left turns being the devil in the megabase. Why? As far as I know it's nothing more than the fact that with a right hand drive network (which is most common), left turns require crossing the path of trains going the opposit...

As it happens I have network client/server software development experience (and so I realise it is far from a trivial problem, particularly on the server side, and perhaps an even bigger problem to fix now) but it is plain for anyone to see that other software manages IPv4/IPv6 just fine. I'd be in...

The issue as I see it on our side: If the game has to choose between an IPv4 or an IPv6 adapter when doing network communication - the chances that a given IPv6 address will have internet connection *and* be what the user wants to use (host on or otherwise) is so near zero that we're statistically ...

Firstly, to be able to use "arrival conditions" for train fueling, you would also need to be able to set a condition based on fuel. I think that is not as simple as it may first appear due to multiple locomotives (which may be facing different directions) and fuel types. Like "Fuel i...

TL;DR Each station in train schedule has "arrival" conditions complenting the currently existing "departure" conditions. I have a feeling this (or similar) has been suggested before, but I can't find it; I think expressed as a way to say "Skip this stop if ...". Why ? ...

I'm confused. I thought trains would reroute if their path was blocked. In the screen shot below my work train is blocking the normal path out of the refueling stations but there are four bypasses that have stations that they could use. The train path finding algorithm is documented in the Wiki. Tr...

Huh, I hadn't realised you could get trains to decelerate a lot faster except "instant stop" (eg mine a rail on a train's only path)... But I don't think this should ever happen in normal circumstances, because when a train's stopping point reaches a signal it will either reserve the bloc...

BUT : If the obstacle appears in between the train and its braking distance, the trains suddenly is able to decelerate a lot faster, to the point where you can even have an instantaneous stop. This happens when you have a bunch of regular signals that you turn red using circuit just in front of a f...

(I'll post this anyway as written just before it was updated/moved...) Indeed quite interesting idea. It really would lower the learning curve. But I’m not 100% sure. Because when you see chain signals on junctions, this picture changes. It needs to be tested, if that would make it really easier to ...

See the production statistics window; click the (graph line) icon above the minimap, or press the assigned key (P by default).

Bear in mind the effect of buffering.

I've been having trouble keeping my pipes full of water after the one directly in front of a pump on the line. I know it's really effective in filling up fluid wagons and such, but is it at all helpful for shuttling liquids down your bus line? Or should there maybe only be one at the origin of the ...

Why? I have built a pretty good and stable smart loading and unloading system. It uses circuitry to solve all kinds of issues related to stack size control and filter setting, as well as keeping track of what's in the wagon and what has been removed. The last issue I face is the following: As the l...

This is not a bug. I think a bit of expansion on that would have been appreciated. As I understand it: the limitation is that a requester chest can only request 30 different items, as you can see when you open the chest. If requests are set by the circuit network, a requester chest will ignore sign...

As for single threaded - I've set task manager to show individual cores, and they're all equally balanced at about 45-55% utilization. Individual cores view is usually pretty meaningless, apart from showing the number of cores. Each thread will typically be scheduled on different cores effectively ...

Hello 4 year old post, I noticed your blueprint strings are incompatible with version 1. Does anyone have these blueprints and could you please share the new blueprint string please? I very much like the look of the low density structure factory and would like to use it in my game, especially now t...

+1. Doesn't have to be a size change; shifting the icons a bit in any direction except right would do it too.

Like this, for example?

So I guess yellow bottle is the last bottle I need to produce right? Am I almost at the end of the game? After utility science you'll also need to build the rocket. You can also put a satellite in the rocket, which will give you space science packs. You can keep going with them, faster and faster; ...

I have so many accumulators, maybe 100 and also solar cells but still at night battery gets juiced up..... also as you can see I have so much power at disposal but accus are not filling that fast, what to do? https://pasteboard.co/JrZkR23.png Your image shows 341 solar panels (producing 20.5MW), 61...
