Well. No/yes/maybe. Depends on the layout and the length of those pipes. That number of trains for water alone will cause significant repathing, and you also need to fill/empty the wagons, which is 2 more interactions than a straight pipe into the reactor (though they're not inventories so not as b...

: Jap2.0 I'll try to take some shots tomorrow. About power production, yes. Only producing 10K beakers ( fully beaconed) will take about 35GW. And there are roboports, those will be counted in tens of thousands probably.. And there are laser turrets.. also tens of thousands to provide a perimeter to...

Well.. my laptop definitely isn't high end.. So, when I'm designing mega factory I have to look not only for best factory performance but mostly about best computer performance. I have a concept of a 10k beakers/min factory that im trying to implement, however im concerned about an impact on my UPS ...

Yeah, you're right. Solution that i'm using is to drop bots intro trash slot temporary when going on a looong train ride

Obviously it is not a bug but a very annoing feature. Simple solution would be if personal bots gets their jobs assigned either if inside your backpack or charging. And only in those situations.

that's working as intended.

Well in this case, it would be great if a reqester had another option: Request ONLY from buffer chest.
It would solve not only this problem but also a logistic loops in some cases.

Very nice base!

Unfortunately my megabase end up like this
I should probably consider adding a few more roboports

If minecraft can have its own sets (I have couple of them), factorio deserve them too. Just not so obvious "system" sets with a player, biter and a shotgun. Some more sophisticated stuff like Op's loco, same scale assembler, a silo. Would be nice. I have to sneak to my sons room and grab s...

Thanks for responses but this yellow light trick just doesnt work like I want it to work. I want a player gate to be always closed if there is an incoming train but to be open if train has stopped on a chain signal before a gate. I thought, that maybe i could use something like this: train.jpg But n...

Let me post my savefile. 40 FPS/UPS 'cause it is idling mostly

system is a laptop with:

Hail factorians! I have quite big base with lots of trains and lots of rails. Since i get smashed by runnig train almost daily, i've made some safe crossings across my base. ;) train.jpg Pedestrian gates are connected to rail signals and set to open if Green =1 Train gates are connected to same sign...

I hope it is a bug not a feature. Requester with 'request from buffer..' have priority over other requesters. If a demand is greater that current stock, requesters with this option enabled will be satisfied first.

Nerfing bots is a stepback. Yet, you should boost belts but especially inserters. 90° is a must. Also, maybe add a sockets in assemblers that allows placing an inserter 'inside' of an assembler, thus making possible to feed assembler from a belt touching it.
