... A schedule entry will be waited for if, and only if, ALL enabled stops with that name have hit or exceeded their limit or are unreachable. If the train is already moving and the limit if the targeted stop gets reduced, it will try to path to another stop with the same name, but continue moving ...

Looks like your understanding is correct, except for the generalization to multiple destinations with the same name (or I simply misunderstood what you wrote). A schedule entry will be skipped if, and only if, ALL stops with that name are disabled. If the train is already moving, it will stop dead a...

What everyone making those suggestions is seeing is only the cpu load value saying "it is single threaded" and then there is the "make it multithreaded" suggestion. It would be really great if such suggestions would also have some discussion about how to solve the technical chal...

I think no one had mentioned this part of the blog yet: and we would also need to support the 1.1 map version loading indefinitely. This means that maps will somehow be different in a fundamental way, I’m thinking: 1. Height (z levels) 2. Underground 3. New types of tiles (snow, ice?) 4. New types ...

No seed, but FFF-353 talks about the creation of the trailer.

The only blueprint related timer is for replacing destroyed entities (purple health bar). As for the trees unmarking themselves, a wild guess: Did you place the blueprint while the trees were still unburned? Maybe transitioning to the charred variant made them loose the decon marking and removed col...

I have Ubuntu aarch64 (ARM) Then you will not be able to run factorio unless you emulate x86-64 which will likely result in unplayable performance. I guess I misunderstood a bit what you wrote. "will not be able to run factorio" but at the same time I will be able to play it but with &quo...

a simple one way train, it has 2 locomotives on each end and two cargo wagons If you can answer Loewchen's questions with "yes": Are all four(?) locomotives oriented the same way? If so, are there tracks allowing the train to turn around? (An automatic train will never drive backwards; if...

The other 2) Why don't you use 1=1 instead of making all things starts with the first thing being called 0, then the 2nd thing is called 1 and the 3rd thing is called 2, and so on. This is confusing me a lot because it's so much easier in my opinion in factorio to use the other way around :D I gues...

But since you wrote "as integer", it sounds like you need an additional conversion besides the demultiplexing in step 3; if so, we need more details on the signals you have after step 3. Also you're suddenly using singular, but step 3 should result in (up to) 4 values, is there some filte...

got it after some experiment, another question: why trains ignore buffer path when it has a station? In your screenshot it'll go there after about 5 minutes. Stations have a much higher penalty to the train's pathfinder than waiting for another train to be able to continue it's own journey. Reason ...

Here is a "simple" process description I made: 1. Using a clock and a bit more: request data from 4 stations, rolling until max station > OK 2. Sending from station their content percentage on 8 bits (4 stations multiplexed) > OK 3. Demultiplex and have all stations percentage when they a...

When hovering over a combinator, the information below the minimap displays these values, if there are any.

So part of my thought process was dividing by 10000 to get the P3 values. I tried that same logic for the P2 values by dividing by 100, but I had to ignore any digits on the left (if it was more than two digits) and I don't remember how I made that work, maybe I separately divided by 10000 to get t...

Trains generally use the closet station first, I don't think that's going to change. But you can force the suggested routing by using the circuit network: Connect all 3 stations, read their incoming trains signal and set the limit to 1 + (incoming trains / stations). The same suggestion was also mad...

If you want to design something that depends on the bit-representation of the values, you need to think in binary values. And you need to know the representation of negative numbers (two's-complement) and why this is used. And if you cannot think in binary (I cannot, too many digits), you need to w...

1) i understand this could be quite a limitation, or to restore the same functionnality as the one on the wiki some additionnal combinator would be required and then it means this version doesn't relly require less combinator. I'm not sure how it is supposed to be implemented in-game and if it woul...

You can force round robin behavior using the circuit network. Implement a counter or pass around some token to control which station releases the next train.

What you're describing are solutions for a low bandwidth situation, but those won't help reducing latency. Just because you're sending less data, it won't magically arrive faster. Also, the game already does what you're describing: It only distributes player actions, nothing else, every tick. I don'...

Currently, there is a worldwide problem with Letsencrypt Root Certification expiration. With the end of September, an intermediate certificate that allowed for widespread acceptance of Let's Encrypt certificates expired. By now clients should have had enough time to update and be aware of Let's Enc...
