Yeah, the license/copyright info has to be preserved because that's what enables the license to be meaningfully applied (someone is declaring they hold the copyright for the work, and that as the copyright holder they grant these license terms) - so while it looks functionally like "giving cred...

My understanding of the GNU GPL licenses is that you're free to distribute modified versions, but you're expected to include a link to the original source and credit the original authors on top of clarifying exactly what was modified. While I agree that it's rude and not changing the name or versio...

Flame turrets are really good for defending your walls from attacks (since they do AOE damage), but they're not really useful for attacking, no.

You don't have to reduce flow for there to be a benefit, but you're right that the designs posted here won't really help. If you can convince the biters to take a longer path, even if that path has no bottlenecks and the overall flow rate remains the same, you can keep them inside turret ranges for ...

What I typically do is name all the supply stations the same thing and then put it into the schedule several times, so the train goes to: - depot - resupply - resupply - resupply or similar. This enables it to go to more than one station in a trip without it going to every single one of them. There'...

Productivity massively increases pollution. Pollution is based on time * power consumed * pollution factor. Productivity modules slow the machine, increase power consumed, and increase the pollution factor. The only time they reduce pollution is when you're "post-game" using beacons, beca...

Unless you've reached the cap of one item per tick in an assembler (it can't go faster than this) then you should, in fact, need all four prod3 modules to get the quoted flow rate, and even if you are able to apply enough speed to an assembler that it *does* hit one item per tick (not sure this is p...

i want to use same stations for receive and send items - so i want to check why this train come to station. what is the easy way to do it? the only difference is Logistic Train Stop Output have additional signals if train come to take goods. but it's hard for me to filter out these signals from alo...

There are four slots - the one separated from the others to the left is also one of the slots for the machine. The reason it's separated like that is so that you can select one module in the leftmost slot and then hit the arrow button in between to set the other three slots to the same module.

I'm slightly surprised about new recipe of dirt water electrolisers... If calculate in helmod, 30 electrolisers required 3 (15in - 12out) electrodes in second. To create them, needs 3 steel + 3 carbone. 3 steel makes from 12 iron, cteated from 45 slug(in second recipe) But 30 electrolyzers create o...

The LTN side is simple enough: Set threshold to the size of an 8-wagon train. Set train size limit to <= 8. Done. LTN will decide which trains to use based on the train size limits of the requester and the amount of cargo to be transported. If you set the threshold to that of an 8-wagon train and h...

Just setting the provider threshold to 8 wagons is fairly simple, but has two problems that I can see: - the downside you mention: if supply is >=4 wagons but <8 wagons then no 4-wagon deliveries will be dispatched. I don't think this is necessarily a big deal though: if you used a 4 wagon threshold...

I'm reasonably certain that the stack insert only accepts one filter slot, and uses the signal for that filter for the stack size? No, unfortunately you have to choose a specific signal for the stack size manually, which means that if you're dealing with multiple items you need combinator logic to ...

https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/ Stable updates for desktop went from 73.0.3683.86 to 73.0.3683.103. But hey, I guess they don't know how to version either :) Chrome does all the branching/builds/numbering automatically without a human driving it, and then humans decide which things to releas...

Why do you want to do this, though? If your stations only handle a single type of item then there's no need for them to be in different networks - LTN would never schedule a delivery from an iron provider to a coal requester, or similar, anyway. You only need separate networks if there's more than o...

Heh. Yeah, probably. But: accumulators on full discharge will deplete in 5000/300=16⅔ seconds, which happens to be exactly 1000 ticks. So if you ever see the accumulator charge dropping 1% per ten ticks, you're at max capacity, and you can get as cute as you want with watching the tick count betwee...

TBH I didn't even know this was a problem before I started reading the thread. I thought that if an accumulator used to measure power drops below X% the factories are still being powered at 100%... until the accumulator charge drops to 0% at which point brownouts begun. This thread seems to indicat...

I wish we could edit/add icons to the list. Last world I ran out of them an needed a text cheat sheet to keep track of what they all meant. Just in case you weren't already aware: mods can add new virtual signals, and there's a number of mods that add useful ones on the mod portal, such as: https:/...

Try this. You should be able to choose the power level you want. Thanks, but that's functionally equivalent to the simple SR circuit I already use to control my backup power, which is also based on monitoring an accumulator's charge level. The situation that's a problem is when the accumulators are...

My factories are almost always powered by the common setup with solar+accumulators in roughly the right ratio combined with backup power that's controlled by a SR latch that enables when the accumulator power runs low. This works fine most of the time, but if the factory's power needs grow too quick...
