hello everyone, I have a question and I think I am confused about the train station limit. I have a large base and I have several ore outposts. all outposts share same name like "(S) Iron" and "(D) Iron" (supply and demand). there is no special logic and every ore train is same. ...

I could not find if it is an already reported bug. version:1.1.30, build 58304, win64 vanilla, no mods, used editor mode to reproduce but not necessary steps to reproduce: - put rail and station as shown in image: https://i.imgur.com/g1EUntJ.png - put red train and wagon for it connected by hand, au...

a small size (69x41) distant artillery outpost, entities delivered by a single train (dual direction), train in image artillery wagon stores more artillery shell so I used it (15 vs 100) instead of artillery turret. vertical artillery wagon is not part of train of course, it is stationary. it shoots...

overall it is a nice solution. I guess creating a mod about virtual items should not be a problem. we have signal letters/numbers and it should be easy to convert them into items/recipes I guess. like item "A", created with green circuit etc. it shall be your substitute. sorry, I have not...

Deliver hot steam from the main nuclear plant is most efficient way how to deliver energy to a distant outpost. Dont understand why you can not. I did this for my 2.4k 0.16 base. the train traffic was stupidly high. I changed to centralized power but bugs ate my poles, also rails, many things crumb...

a question, I think it is covered but I could not understand what the actual wall of text mentioned about NO_PATH. what happens lets say biters attacks rails (destroy them) or trains, making trains unable to reach the target station? are they dropped from that limit? what about temporary stations w...

belts are blue, express belts. https://i.imgur.com/1UVnzQG.png two designs for switching from blue belt to logistic network chests (bots) or vice versa. they are as compact as possible. belt loader is there to show the belt-to-chest design does not miss any item and consumes entire belt. chest-to-be...

hey, just a minor trick I wanted so show you. this is a design I shall use on my ore/oil outposts. https://i.imgur.com/6ghmMxv.png origin: I do not want to use electric network of my base for outposts and I shall not deliver steam to outposts with trains either, instead my outposts shall have this s...

45 science pack per min (no space science but includes military science) cheap and buildable with early entities, based on ASM-2 (blue assembler). no complex structure or belt waving, minor spaghetti alert. takes input from left and outputs to right. uses chemical plants, asm-2, yellow/red/blue inse...

awesome. thank you. I shall try this tonight.
Is there a mod you have in mind as an example so I can steal some code ?

as title asks. I want to prevent or at least give side effects to player if player decides to attack the chest containing that specific item (it is not an entity). background: lets assume you use item A and B in a recipe and create item "Dangerous". then player puts the item "Dangerou...

LuaEntityPrototype::base_productivity

oh it is sth new.
thanks a lot.

hello, I am trying to build an assembler entity which does not support modules at all (beacon or module) but I want it to have a productivity bonus like a prod module. Is this possible? note: I tried allowed_effects = { "productivity" } but it does not work because negative speed is also c...

I've released a mod that does this:

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/heat-furnace

thanks a lot. I shall try it when I can.

first of all I dont think bots are OP. If you don't think, they need to be fixed, then you probably are in the wrong thread here. ok cool. I misunderstood then. just make your changes as "mods" and dont touch my bots. thanks. then should not this discussion be at https://forums.factorio.c...

They could start to attack even passive structures (power poles, rails, etc.) if the pollution is too high. ...player don't like it and want to focus on building, they can turn off biters. without biters game is too bland. with biters attacking your outpost transportation (power pole and rail), it ...

EDIT: just saw these shall not be in game. Still I shall not change my post below. Take it as comments to your ideas in case you want to make them into game. * Inserters should not chase items : hated the idea, makes game too predictable. no more fun to solve complex throughput problems. * Blueprint...

I was reading and checking code of heat exchanger and furnaces. my idea was to use heat coming from nuclear reactor (via heat pipes) and use it in furnace to smelt plates. in theory it would look like a steel furnace using heat instead of fuel without additional power requirement. if furnace is acti...
