[...] Now I can get myself a new job :mrgreen: On topic now ... All people who want more enemies, more diverse enemies, more threatening enemies forget the devs only intend the fighting to be a secondary aspect of the game, providing a small pressure early game, and another resource sink beside res...

I have been working on a similar project for my crude oil trains. I have a working solution that is almost there. It does only open the station when the oil level is sufficient for a train and close the station when it is low on fluid. The issue I haven't completely overcome yet is that multiple tra...

Very cool!

It just proves that we all want flying enemies

Great idea... https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=90024&p=514747&hilit=flying+enemies#p514747 https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=88524&p=508998&hilit=flying+enemies#p508998 https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=88524&p=508998&hil...

There is no need whatsoever for this much optimization in advance. There is never more than one solution to issues. You can easily build megabases without caring about stuff like this. People build megabases with rail grids / city blocks and 1-4 trains (or even smaller trains). That's far from idea...

Maybe I'm missing the deeper meaning here, but I just train the rocket fuel to my rocket silos. I never have trouble consuming it there.

That’s what I was afraid of. (Wasting power)
I would rather use the solid fuel and light oil for rocket fuel.

I don’t think those beacons are doing anything.

Other than that, nice job.

This can be especially problematic for longer trains as their sheer size is difficult to account for when crossing tracks.

It’s the crossing that creates the issue.

Of course this assumes right hand drive.

Proper signaling is the key to efficient train routing. Many players (especially new ones) struggle with train signals and create deadlocks. This can be especially problematic for longer trains as their sheer size is difficult to account for when crossing tracks. The best thing you can do is learn h...

Just in case...

You can also use Shift+Right click on a train to copy its schedule then Shift+Left click to paste it onto another train.

Specifically, in your image, the inserter is holding stack inserter(s) while the cargo wagon cannot accept any more stack inserters.

Now try a coal and water only input Outpost.
You can bring in 5 barrels of heavy oil from your main base.
Also you may use it as a dump for all your wood.

Hi guys, lately I have been entertained by the “Finding Bigfoot” series. It really is funny. So I was thinking that there could be a Bigfoot mod. Which would theoretically add a Bigfoot creature to the game that may or may not ever be seen by the player, and that could theoretically feed on the bugs...

From the Wiki...

The maximum of size a blueprint is 10k by 10k tiles.


Does anyone have one that huge?

Thanks I was looking for something like this

But this would only be useful in creative mode. Module tech is well past burner phase and does anyone seriously use burners in the late game? Except maybe for odd experimental reasons?

Here is what the WIKI says about oil production... I like the 8:2:7 ratio best for my normal base structure. https://wiki.factorio.com/Oil_processing "Petroleum gas production For producing petroleum gas, the optimal advanced oil processing ratio is 20:5:17 (advanced oil processing : heavy oil ...

I mostly disagree with the OP, my only "complaint" about power poles is the rotated ghost image that doesn't match the actual placed power pole.
I don't remember any "old" design that looked better either.
