I've recently calculated similar thing for steam engines; here are the results using the same methodology, hopefully it's correct: One heat exchanger produces around 103 steam/s, that's 103 steam/s * 1s/60tick * 25000 tick/day = 42916.66 steam/day. One steam turbine consumes 60 steam/s * 1s/60tick *...

I think the storage-box-one would be pretty easy too, I rarely have a ton of gear sitting around. Good for you, but most bases I've seen nearly always have a main bus that is filled completely. Now this is not good, is it? Yeah, I have problem understanding what the challenge of Anti-consumerism sc...

Why does the assembler keep producing if there is empty space in the chest? Because it doesn't know you don't want that. Otherwise you would have set it up to not producing the items if there are thousands of them in storage chests via e.g. logistic condition. You shouldn't have to do that though. ...

Because if the closest chest is a passive/active provider chest that is the output of assemblers then the construction bots will endlessly pull from that chest because the assembler will keep producing to keep the chest filled... which results in the construction robots entirely ignoring the thousa...

I would accept blueprinted colored wires costing resources only if removing them returned them back. Currently, no refunds on removed wires and free blueprinted wires means that developing new circuitry (i.e. adding and removing wires) has an upfront cost that you'll get back with each placed bluepr...

My middle mouse button is busted currently, so I have bound the filter action to ALT+right click. Maybe you can do something similar in the meantime?

I started experimenting with following workflow: Have all blueprint books in the library; then find correct book based on name, right click; find correct blueprint based on icons and name, left click; press E / ESC to close the library, place blueprint; then destroy blueprint from the inventory. But...

Some notes if you decide to develop this further: comments are allowed only inside network definitions, I'd expect them to work anywhere a list of supported operators would be nice, e.g. >= , != , & , and | might not be as obvious as other operators power operator is missing (overriden and easil...

There are two controls that partially do what you ask: Larger terrain building area (by default Numpad+) and Smaller terrain building area (Numpad-). They change the brush from 1x1 to 10x10. Both dimensions at the same time though, so no 2x10 and such.

In the meantime you could make your own snooze button with combinators: AlarmSnooze.jpg Inserter is a manual pulse generator, rotate it to "push" the button. You have to put some items (anything works) on the ground for it to pick up. D in the constant combinator is the duration of the sno...

For some relevant discussion see 40790, 39893 and 49281.

Substation in v0.15 has reach 18 and coverage 18x18.

Do you have some mods enabled? For example, I couldn't rename some blueprints Picker Extended mod is creating.

It seems incredibly unlikely that you will ever have that happen. You can make it happen by having two outposts built but not connected to the power/circuit network yet and connecting them at the same time by building one power pole. Solutions proposed so far effectively use world position to disti...

How is that? You mean like out of the perspective of someone who never made it past 3rd grade?

My guess is they meant metal music.

The difference between rail signals in Factorio, OpenTTD and IRL is they were designed for different systems. Automatic trains in Factorio/OpenTTD technically don't need any signals you see, since they use underlaying signaling system; signals you see display some properties of that system. A train ...

I think queued research option of Auto Research mod may do the thing you want.

What I like about v1 poles is a sense of progression - small pole is one wooden pole, medium pole is one (and a half) metal pole, big pole is a metal structure. From this, the body of big pole v2a looks too narrow, the bodies of medium poles v2 too wide, and the body of small pole v2 too bright (i.e...

I haven't played OpenTTD, my impression (just from watching linked tutorial video) is that one of the core differences is trains in OpenTTD have greater acceleration/breaking abilities (and lower maximum speed, although this may change in the later stages of the game). So a train going towards a red...

Does that mean that wikipedia is incorrect?
