[0.17.43] round down floats <1.0 leads to undesired behaviors

reading fluids from entities like tanks and trains will be rounded down. in case of values lower than 1 no signal will be transported. Therefore decions like "<1" or "!=0" are correct at the the target Even though programatically everthing seems fine, personally the overall case ...

Re: FARL and cliffs thoughts?

Hm don't know if this is new in 0.17

but cliffs can be removed using bots if you have cliff explosives in the bag.

so maybe this can be used for the train as well.

Re: Friday Facts #282 - 0.17 in sight

Are blueprints and blueprint books automatically synced as individual files/directories from and to the disk? Then I could init a Git repository there and version control all my blueprints... :geek: They are not (just blueprint.dat). What you say makes sense, but I'm not sure what to do with that :...

Re: Friday Facts #279 - Train GUI & Modern Spitter

This FFF hints at, but does not really explicitly confirm or deny, a thing I have wanted for a long time: Condition combination control; that is, currently with AND and OR, your ability to control is somewhat limited if you want them combined in complex ways. For example, there is no way to achieve...

Re: Friday Facts #267 - Experiments, Explosives & Extended tags

After making this system it has made me think if I could apply some variant of it to robots building things, so a robot could theoretically grab 3 inserters and build all 3 quickly in series. It's an interesting thought for another time... Yes, defenitly. The most annoying build thing by robots is ...

Re: Friday Facts #235 - 0.16 stable

Better fluid physics Would be great if we can get also a fluid filter like the inserters. Pump with a static filter like buffer chests would be great. This would improve unload and loading trains and filter unwanted mixed pipes ... maybe it allows new desing of oil factories and beacon layouts. Thi...

copy/paste for provider chests (limit slots)

TL;DR I want to limit the size of the provider chests in a fast way. What ? I'm using the copy&paste recipe for provider chests a lot ( and its inceasing amount depending on the modules and beacons) So why not limiting the output amount on pasting onto a provider chest. The number of free slots...

Re: liquid 0.x not fullfill "greater than 0" [0.16.24]

thx but I guess it has not been fixed because for the related situation was a workaround PUSH Why is this on not a bug? This damned fluid behavior is so annoying.

Re: liquid filtering for pumps, tanks and wagons

filtering inside a base is insufficient. After playing more than 1000 hours I found recently the "logistic train network" mod. I love it. Altough I love trains, managing multiple outpots and balancing refinements (to plates or to green circuits) is a mess. But using a train for multiple pu...

TL;DR Send a distinct number of trains (most of the time a single one ) to a (unique) station of if it's really requested. What ? In a larger base you will have dozens ore outpost and multiple smelter outskirts. Have one train just for each outpost is a waste. And if the train is killed it`s annoyi...

Re: Stack size bonus for construction robots

That's something we've wanted to do but it's not a simple switch that can be flipped. Robots are only capable of taking on 1 job at a time right now. So, if you gave a construction robot a stack of something and told it to "go" you can only ever tell it to "go" do one thing. Per...
