I had some sort of save file or transition error and it reset the selection for some of the TURD upgrades. I reselected the option for a couple of them without first looking at the building (I thought I had forgotten to click confirm the first time), and now there seems to be 2 of the effect sources...

Wube created a new genre with Factorio Sim Tower, Sim City, these are basically identical to Factorio. I have played countless hours SimCity and Sim City 2000, and never playing Factorio gave me the "well ... that feels like Sim City" impression. Maybe subsequent Sium City sequels changed...

My observation of oscillation was with a mod changing the fluid box height and base area (2x height, 1/2 base area), in the hopes of making an approximation of 2x fluid flow rates. I am thinking you are right about the momentum. Something along the lines of if fluid has been flowing in one direction...

If I understand correctly, in summary: If you have a rail system where trains cannot stop or be backed up on the main rails for extended periods of time, then all but one of the chain signals in intersections are unnecessary since any train that enters the intersection will be able to leave in a tim...

Actually, the use cases I remember seeing it requested for were : - Fluid wagons that couldn't be emptied of the last fraction of fluid unit, which prevented the trains to leave with "on empty" condition (not even trying to enter into the train reusable for different fluids). - Generic fl...

With fluid mixing being prevented when possible, and the ability to manually flush all connected fluid boxes, is that still a beneficial feature? It still is. automated flushing vs manual flushing is an obvious choice in a game about automation. The incomplete emptying of pipes when almost empty ha...

With fluid mixing being prevented when possible, and the ability to manually flush all connected fluid boxes, is that still a beneficial feature? Small amounts in the pipes can't clog up the movement of the same fluid type. I don't feel it's harmful, but if it no longer serves it's purpose due to ot...

Ah yeah, I meant for display. Rounding or truncating has to happen there at some point. I was just thinking at the moment why 0.05, and thought maybe to avoid numbers in pipes being rounded to 0.0 for display while actually having fluid in them to avoid confusion, but that would still happen if the ...

Fluid may be lost or created in a really tiny amounts because of floating point math. Worst enemy is when a fluid system becomes empty: if all fluidboxes in a fluidsystem have less than 0.05 of fluid, then the whole fluid system is automatically flushed. Is that an explicit deletion of fluid in pip...

0.1 fluid lost. ... You don't actually lose 0.1, it's much much less than that, but the display rounds to the floor of the tenth's place. It would take a very long time for the error to accumulate to where you lose more than one production cycle. It's a bug in that it is never intended for fluids t...

That’s more or less correct. Small amounts of liquid can basically evaporate and be lost. Often it’s more a case that pipes are separated and deleted with small amounts left in them, but I think it can happen on it’s own on rare occasions. You might try a departure condition for your trains of item ...

While investigation a suggestion regarding my Global Tick Time Scale Mod, I found some strangeness regarding fluid flow in pipes and other entities with double fluid box height and half base_area. I filled one tank up to 25k fluid and had another empty tank, connecting them were 31 pipes. The fluid ...

That’s a “Destination Full” message, not a “No Path” message. “No Path” usually means there is either a piece of rail missing somehow, or signals are not placed properly, and there is no route that the train can use to move forward to any train stop of the desired name. The pathfinder only reports ...

Do you have any circuit logic connected to the station, and if so can you show a screenshot of the station configuration?

I am thinking that if there are trains limits being set that all the stations it can path to may be reserved by other trains before it gets to the holding station.

I tried this on the unloading side once, and the results were... mhm, really bad. Instead of the planed increase of throughput I got exactly the opposite. So I don't think I will try this on the loading side either. If the throughput was limited by contention passing through the holding stations, t...

You might consider adding holding stations into the schedule between the loading and unloading, then reduce the trains limit on the loading stations. Trains departing the unloading will find the closest unloaded holding station and wait there for the next available loading station. This means you ca...

I suppose you could make a mod that automatically moves assembler products to an adjacent chest, then make a circuit between that chest and the inserter to only activate the inserter when the chest has at least X items. That would just double the amount of inserters, don't think that's any better f...

How would inserters only moving with full hands actually reduce CPU usage though? I expect inserters to belt to be most UPS efficient at a stack size of 1, since the inserter only needs to look at the belt for a minimum of 1 tick on a swing to drop the item. With more items in hand, it needs to che...

Hello, Is it possible to transfer the count of a storage box to the logistic network so it can be compared to another storage box. If you want to compare the number of items in one storage box to the number in another storage box, wire the first to an arithmatic combinator set to Each * -1 output E...
