No seriously: I now removed this link and warned the user.

If only we could do something like this for construction bots, because they getting killed at the outposts occasionally, and currently there are no solutions for automated resupply without overproducing.

I tried to import this blueprint https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=8&t=7002 and got this error

This is my test factory. Bots move copper to requester chest, working against a team of inserters and a yellow belt. http://i.imgur.com/qq9siat.png It needs 6 bots to operate. Not 4, not 5 and not 7. Exactly 6. This is controller. http://i.imgur.com/na5yD2f.jpg Whenever logistic network is unable to...

Update game to version 0.11.3

When adding temporary tank(s) to extend overflowing storage, leave space for a pipe. You can later replace this pipe with electric pump, which will allow you to deconstruct tank without losing any liquid.

There is a mod called "landfill", make a bridge to the mainland.

Btw, isn't this considered a bug?

But for the early game and starting area ore fields this is awesome solution. I take it back. This is ridiculously hard to set up without medium power poles compared to usual smelting line. (you cannot walk between columns, you have to use underground belts, more complex placing pattern overall, an...

Well, I made better picture. The signals in the white circles are working as expected. Two trains running on this track without issues. The signal in the red circle is ALWAYS green. It does not interfere with the other signals operation. It does not divide track in blocks. It just sits there, foreve...

There are two cases where rebalancer may be a good fit:
1) to get maximum throughput from unevenly clogged belts
2) when you putting things on the busy belt with inserters, and want to maximize output

C) Balance transport from source to destination to optimize throughput Example: You have some kind of outpost and as it happens, most miners put the items on one side, so that one lane is full and some miners cannot output items. Answer: Yes. Do it. But in this case you need normally only "one...

Signal does not behave like a double signal anyway. Nor like a single one.
And no, there is no highlight.

Here's a better illustration of what I think was the problem (at least, cleaning up my layout to remove this track configuration fixed it):. Yep, looks like a bug to me. Train signals placed like in your picture work like a paired signal for two-sided track, although they are on different tracks, a...

What about two splitters, with a gap preserving the rebalancing pattern, with faster belts on the remerge? http://i.imgur.com/KDcBzmU.png I tested it before. Slightly better than the common rebalancer with red parts (because there is no U-turn), but still not quite there. The fundamental problem is...

It is not a proper rebalancer, you need a piece of faster track where the two split yellow belts come together to ensure compression and throughput. It helps, but the problem is still there Red: http://i.imgur.com/R4aEnes.png Blue: http://i.imgur.com/07UFr6m.png Full blue: http://i.imgur.com/9aufJZ...

Can you do the bottom test again but with the belt rebalancer as 2 splitters therefore cutting out the U-bend on the one side.. I doubt much will change but I always wondered.. maybe make it a 4th lane so you can compare it separately.. Can't find a great picture for it but the upper most 2 splitte...

I think the best solution would be to add some sort of "recycler" which breaks down items into very basic components. It could be as simple as decomposing into iron/copper ore (scrap), and solid fuel (burnable waste). Can be done by simple mod. Or maybe the devs could just add a way to de...

The fact that you can work around this with splitters could be considered a problem instead. It indicates that splitters are too fast. It would not be unreasonable for a splitter on a 100% full belt to cause a minor loss of throughput, something like 20%. 20% isn't exactly minor, but I do agree tha...
