I use loops to do early sorting with mixed outputs, like Angel's ores, and they do need to keep moving. The alternatives I've found are adding to the loop via splitter or inserter.

You might be able to get rid of them in the bot frame construction by liberal use of underground pipes. See below. AAA>AAA P AAAUAAA.......UP AAA AAA P A = assembler > = inserter pointing right U = underground pipe P = regular pipe Alternatively, you could do inserter->blank space->inserter, but, re...

Some of my favorite versions.

Why did the biter ignore the gaping hole in my wall?

Is there some way to enable items/second in the tooltip?

My mod, Wood Gas , is named poorly. I didn't realize I had an underscore in the official name. So made a new version and one of the changes was to fix the name. The mod portal doesn't like this: chrome_2016-10-02_07-43-36.png How do I fix this? If it's not possible, can I delete my old mod and uploa...

Angel, I think the "Wood From Cellulose" might be bugged. It's giving synthetic wood, not regular wood. (Unless it's supposed to.) I infer it's supposed to give regular wood because the picture shows regular wood and there's a different recipe for synthetic wood.

You know, looking at those rail pictures, why doesn't the recipe require wood?

*grumble* I guess I have to upgrade to 0.14 now. Angel's ores gives me tons of sulfur, lol.

OH, THANK GOD. I wanted a "WHERE USED" function sooooooooooo badly. Angel's and Bob's go insane with the amount of things I need to keep in my head.

There was an electric boiler mod specifically for this purpose, but it has not been updated and I can't find it on the mod portal. This is really the issue. Storing hot water only really saves you on coal boilers. You still need the right amount of steamies to convert to electricity. With an electr...

Nope. Need to uncover new area to find more oil.

If you're into mods, get Bergius process which lets you convert coal into oil stuff.

I don't consider this a bug. If you built rails right through biter territory would you expect them to just ignore everything happening that you did? Now the same applies for building rails and then the biters migrating around instead of a magical "oh we can't build bases here because there's ...

Also who knows, maybe we end up with a Factorio blueprints portal - something like a global database accessible to all the players. That would be an interesting way to share the setups. What happened to factorioblueprints.com ? I loved that site, but it's kinda wonky. Images don't always load and i...

This is amazing. This was my biggest complaint about Bob's. Thank you.

Mendel, that's awesome.

That's some delicious spaghetti.

Yes, that works great. You can also put labs on the inside of the loop! the problem is that it's not expandable. For me, that's not an issue, I like smaller, static lab setups.

Right clicking on something makes 5 at a time. So, to make 40, you'd have to right click 8 times.

Hi all, Am i really the only one here who thinks the Mod portal SUCKS ASS it is so much worse than the "http://www.factoriomods.com/" page was and lets be honest that was one big mess... bud this mod portal is so much much much worse Just had to say it sorry very much love the game though...
