for the developers, small DLCV make bug fixing and possibly balancing (especially between new content and basic content) easier and smoother Quite the contrary is true.

... As such a train can do a U-turn by going through any of the stations, ... . If a train is west of the destination then it wants to go to the bottom stop. But if you only enable the top stop then it will move past the station, make a U-turn and go to the top stop. ... Ah yes, they can also go pa...

I don't think there is a solution to this problem. Wait, wait, wait, wait wait, ... . In my first solution I was focused on the example given by you. Two trains and not a problem if one of them moves slightly, before it actually can go to the target station. With the bigger picture of an arbitrary ...

As far as I understand it, the stuttering is a result of a feedback loop which is caused by the stations being input and output at the same time. What if you use two stations in each direction, all the same name (top1, top2 and bottom1, bottom2 instead of top and bottom). top1 and bottom1 are enable...

Hm ... by your comments, I think the only thing to be more optimal is the water supply. I use two offshore pumps per water pipeline.

An offshore pump only does 1200 fluid/s. So you need 2 offshore pumps for 16 heat exchangers.

Which I literally recognized in the sentence above your answer

Assuming you write that, because you don't like to depend on power to be available to produce power: Have an inner and an outer power grid. The inner power grid would just power the infrastructure to insert fuel cells and it would have its own steam buffer+turbines. Edit: The inner grid ofc must als...

... I had just installed a bunch of speed mods and beacons on pumpjacks. ... Before you do that: Have you put productivity modules in your science labs? Rule of thumb: use modules and beacons on the most expensive process in the production chain first -> biggest savings for least additional cost. I...

Are you seriously asking for help to solve a problem or to answer a question? Because the way you write sound more like you want to tell the story about your epic adventure.

Actually telling the story instead of disguising it as questions and context might serve you better then.

This one accounts for the limit of offshore pumps. 2N, 6 reactors infinitely tillable HX layout - For 2N reactor layouts - Every 6 reactors infinitely tillable - 6R x 160MW/R = 960MW = 10MW/HX x 96HX - Max. water intake/pipeline: 103.1w/s x 10 = 1031w/s (safe for offshore pump) - Max steam output/pi...

Can someone show proof what the optimal number and placement for heat exchangers is? Assume a tileable setup, i.e. an infinite reactor. Hmmm ... if we are talking infinite then ... 1. A reactor in a double row (2xN) layout with x3 neighbor bonus produces 160MW 2. A HX consumes 10MW => One reactor n...

I think you mean that the game should use voltage, resistance and current for power and different levels of temperature, dissipation, etc for heat. You suggest, the game being modelled closer to real physics in regards to power and heat. Entities having different characteristics when it comes to pow...

You're forgetting heat pipes and unfuled reactors as a heat-storage method. They are lossless but not directly measurable. Personally I've never seen a large scale design using this approach but I'm sure they must be out there. ... It is because the math says, that reactors are incredibly eypensive...

This is one usecase:

The creation of nonsquare shaped "chests" which can be connected to the circuit network.

There is one thing I really would like to see: Hexagon tiles.

Are you serious? That would practically mean to make a new game engine.

I can't picture Wube moving Factorio to 3D. They factually had to program a new game. Why would they copy Satisfactory, if they clearly spawned a new subgenre of game, where they are the leader with Factorio? My guess is, that an extension DLC of Factorio, will - probably/hopefully - alter the the g...
