Though the OP specifically said stock install, and I don't think adding construction bots to your power armor to start falls into that category :D since Brave New World (see above) is what i was thinking of, it turns out its a scenario, so scripted vanilla (?) The point is that you need WASD, but y...

What IS the bare minimum needed to get construction bots up and running? Power. If bots get placed in your bags at the start, im sure they´d get you some miners, boilers, belts .... etc too. Iirc it was 25 conbots and 2 or 3 roboports, no idea about the rest tho. If i´d play it myself, i would like...

Especially after you switch to solar power. Coal becomes a nuisance resource. So you either store it, or find ways to "burn" it.

I put it in grenades, which i put into the biggest enemy in factorio: trees!

there is a mod that does it, you dont even appear as player that can move around and you cant pickup and place machines. It looks like you are in god mode and by using WASD you only move the camera as you would in map view. So you dont need an island spawn You get some bots and roboports from start....

A tank (or simply any storage) volume is simply something to tell how much internal volume it has. That may sound a bit patronizing, but its the best explanaition i have. Afterall, you could always store a liquid in it, even if its "gas" in its liquid form. On the other hand, its common to...

https://pastebin.com/178Qe8VZ this is an intersection I built, its meant for 3 car trains It also deadlocks very easily. I had it running for 30 sec before it completely deadlocked. You have to add some chain signals to prevent that from happening. There also seem to be a few connections that can n...

Found a bug Im using all * the packs in my base, mostly 33/33/33%, green + pink 50/50, just for the sake of using them evenly. Not interested in balancing out the ore sorting so it could run hands free. Calculating huge numbers shows that they are pretty balanced in raw mats (like plates and circuit...

ok, you need someone else, who is more experienced with map exchange strings 1st test didn´t even remotely look like yours. i always thought that you mess with any setting, the string would disappear in the settings page. Which sometimes it still did. However, i could click on Rail world, and the st...

about the Steam thing: last week i got some help from Factorio Discord. It looks like my ISP has SNAT enabled (dynamic ports) which doesn´t let me host a game on my PC, at least not through the matching server , havn´t tried wo tell my friend to connect to my external IP. Will the "Steam thing&...

For those interested: more Kovarex

great, not the only one concerned with 40 unneeded storage.
will have a closer look over the weekend, wont even have time to finish mine

without turret coverage and power grid it would be easier to see, but that looks odd. need to load that string.
i hate work ^^

couldn´t it just have been a corrupt installation and with reinstalling the non steam version, you "fixed" it?

maybe post a pic of the map, its easier to answer for people reading but not able to start a game (for example, im currently at work) -how far into the game are you? the later the game, the more circuits you´ll need, the more copper you´ll need. fe/cu ratios on the map are not 1:1, but shouldnt be t...

Nice but boring. Any linear 2-components assembling could be deepened with this tapering outer supply bus. I think this was more about: Ten belts in, four belts out, no leftovers. just an example of how much of the same "standard" 3:2 build you need to achiev that goal. but the switching ...

Later :) There are times when I'd like self-feeding setup with some logic, but then I see how complicated most of them are... You haven´t seen my version thats 3 wide for beacons :D seriously tho, if you dont mind some extra inserters and combinators compared to "yours" (which i think are...

"edit: anything AB + FNEI related" FNEI has 2 problems. As said above, it shows dead ends, when you follow the trail to things Angel (and maybe Bob) hasn´t released yet (so its hidden behind a research that doesn´t exist and stays "locked"). Platinum comes to mind here. As long ...

i´ll have a look and share what i find here, i cant MP anyway, would need someone else to host

First i need to read what you´ve done in game, since your goal was UPS friendly scanning, not just paint brute force. Always a challenge to read other´s circuits

I think I have seen something similar before. If I understand thing correctly, the actual cause is that that game continues to track update duration during the autosave, so if the autosave takes 5 seconds, then the first update after the autosave is considered to have taken 5 seconds which temporar...

As I understand it, its "only" the zone painter. Iirc, you´d need a different building and circuit build to make harvesters collect the ore, and even more to make haulers take it to the silos? Im asking cos i was very interested in this almost a year ago, but knew nothing about circuits an...
