The train was (in theory) perfectly aligned. It was brought to the station automatically. It should be obvious that the train was in the station correctly, because why else would the light oil pump show an activated (green) light on it? It was activated by reading the 75k light oil on the train. But...

Nah, it was a brand new stop. Neither the pumps nor the pipes, tanks, and chemical plants had ever consumed any fluid before.

After all that, I deleted the three pumps, added them again, hooked them back up to the circuit, and set the enable conditions again.

And now...it works!

Bug?

I'm trying to make a train stop that can process any of the three crude oil outputs into solid fuel. As you can see from the picture below, I have three pumps. The first is enabled if heavy oil > 0. The second and third are for light oil and petroleum. All three are connected to a circuit which is a...

Because I'm in QA. I make a living doing things people aren't supposed to do.

I don't understand peoples obsession with clicking "X" to close a window in a game THAT DOESN'T USE X TO CLOSE ANY WINDOW EVER ANYWHERE ON ANYTHING. You need help people that do that :P I can address this. I dislocated my collarbone over the summer and had to have my arm in a sling for ma...

Actually, I'd much prefer that autotrash had a higher priority. If you've ever made the mistake of deconstructing a storage chest with a personal roboport, then you already know why... I feel like autotrash should actually have the highest priority, even above personal request slots. After all, tras...

I've found that the interplay of request slots and auto-trash slots can be a bit awkward. Say I want to carry 200 and only 200 blue belts. I set my request slot for 200, and I set my auto-trash slot for 200 as well. Then later I change my request slot to 300 blue belts. Now my logistic robots give m...

I like most of the ideas, and don't mind some of the others, but I agree with what others have said, that "merging" damaged items would be weird and wouldn't seem to fit the spirit of the game. I'd rather see it be easier to repair something in inventory. I should be able to select on my r...

How does it work now if you replace a MKIII with a MK1? I assume it just zeroes out the modules when you replace the MKIII with the MK1? That's the easiest to program. If you replace an Assembly machine 3 with an Assembly machine 1, it removes the modules and puts them back in your inventory. If th...
