Re: Kovarex EP Blueprint 650% speed!

the system stops working in the moment the belt with the dark green uran is full. I think i found a solution for that now. In that way they can always remove the "bad" uran and it gets used before the new ordered one. uran.PNG You can now even put there a reprocessing plant and it will nev...

Re: How do you deal with leftover materials?

never had that problem so far and i use the universal provider heavy (total against for what it was designed for^^).

Might happen if the wagon is full? There "locked slot per wagon" and blocking 1 slot should help

Re: Kovarex EP Blueprint 650% speed!

looks nice. Was in search for a "automated" system where you have to start only 1 and rest starts sooner or later.

Now i just need to find a way to do that with yours, if i want to connect the 3 from your blue print 9 times ^^

Re: Uranium Processing Facility (Complete)

Re: My train with fluid wagon wont work

beside all the problems you get with your setup (not enough pressure because of low storage tanks, running out of oil till train arrives) , you need to set up the threshold like shown in the description post.

So max storge-the amount at which a train should be called = threshold

Re: Is 20% evolution normal for 5 hours gameplay?

Thank you for the suggestion about the Air Filtering Mod. I was looking for something exactly like this to try doing a more "green" early game build. You can opt into using Efficiency 1 modules in all of your machines. Not only this dramatically reduces power consumption (and as a result ...

Re: I thought I had trains figured out!

looking at the picture, they go from top to bottom correct? and the other station with same name is also to the south? The chain signal to the south is red, so that way is blocked. The other 2 ways go through stations i guess which adds 1000 ? penalty , so after the "fix" that penalty is t...

Re: Chunk-aligned modular railway system with LTN Stations

Hey, I am having some trouble. I got my unloading stations all setup properly and they run fine. The only downside is that even if 1 slot of a chest isnt filled it calls a whole train of ore. Which then unloads the 1 stack and goes back to the depot and the excess ore is then put into my system whi...

Re: How do you deal with leftover materials?

well, if you use the designs from https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=47773 you will find a depot that automatically unloads all waggons that arrive. So your cargo wagon will be always empty. Now you just have to deal with all the garbage at your depot. For that you can use a unive...

Re: Artillery

I have yet to move on to 0.16 and experience artillery. From what I've seen I'm going to have a hell of a good time with artillery when I do (imagine they could launch nukes). That's actually the one thing I like about them - they can destroy bases, but the biters still come to say hello so you sti...

Re: Distance - implementation idea

there is an (kinda) easy solution for your problem which also fullfills the often requested separted networks (i asked that question myself already and came up with this solution for me). Use different train lengths. My main trains around base are L-WWWW-L . Now if you want to transport f.e. ore fro...

Re: LTN Newb with 2 Feature Requests

there is no reason why trains should be not in automatic in depots.... otherwise LTN doesn't work.

If you build a new train you send it to the depot with the depot as only destination in automate mode. Done. Rest LTN does.

What about changing recipies?
