All of the sciences. Except military maybe. Generally you just pump out infinite mining productivity and robot speed research

So in that case, the average of all sciences? Because gold science takes a lot longer to produce than red science does.

Hello all, I keep hearing about "SPM bases" and how much "SPM" they have. I know this means "science per minute" but what kind of science exactly? 600 red science per minute? 600 of all science? Or is there something I am missing entirely? Thank you very much as I want ...

I agree, and I would like to see this implemented as well, especially when the base gets so large that there are biters attacking everywhere and endless Yellow Alert signals.

I recently started a test run for BobAngels and am experimenting with things to be ready for multiplayer with a friend in the future. This helps so much, thank you! Bookmarked

Noticed this as well. It is because the distance is shortening and changing, so compression continues. When it is straightened out, the compressed effects are shown. Unfortunately, I do not know of any way to fix this right now. But it is a good way to squeeze extra products onto a belt manually!

That would be awesome, but AI for it may be different (like giving specifications for when to use undergrounds and pipes..., e.g. when should the distance be differed to use the certain type of pipe?).

True, this would be a good idea. If it is implemented, it should come along with maybe some entity that cleans the air in a certain radius temporarily or removes pollution to allow trees to regrow.

Oh cool! I'd never actually noticed that until you pointed it out, I thought messing with those things specifically would disable achievements.

1) Those commands are not in there. You can always stop walking, press M and zoom out just enough to see a lot of your factory in detail.
2) You can always rebind the keys temporarily to something more comfortable for you.

That is a good idea, but then we would need hundreds of different colors. At some point, they could be hard to differentiate between.

Another thing I noticed is, logically, the output, if turned, would only output to one side of the belt, unless it is curved while underground to come out that way. Just a thought.

True, but as there is no way to do this right now, that could be a start until it (maybe) is implemented. Or, a mod could me made with the right knowledge.

That's a good idea, I think it would be a great addition to the game!

That is an awesome creation! I should set up this in my base as a compact way to easily give myself plates and other things through the logistic network. The combinators make it even more genius!

Looks pretty nice, especially for a newer person to the game! I like the compactness.

i was referring to modules the red ones Oh, in that case, think about what areas you think take too long or need productivity, then enable the ability to give it to them. i did that for nitrogn and i was waiting for some other sugestions to add before i relise the mod Yes, are there any other thing...

There is a mod here:

And another here for a similar thing for underground pipes:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/underground-pipe-pack

Pretty cool, I don't think I've seen a mod that does something like this yet.
Maybe add some other special recipes that require the "large plates?" That would be a pretty nice addition to the mod, imho.

It's a nice mod! I like how it can be used for multiple things.
Suggestion: Add some more new recipes of powerful or different things that can only be created using Morphite. They could be special entities, turrets, items, modules or anything else.
