Stack inserters only for chest-chest, never for belt.

Curious - what's the situation? I might use chest-chest on kovarex, or in .16 when buffering fuel blocks, but I'm having difficulty thinking of a "normal" situation I'd want to move chest-chest.

Mostly railroad stations.

No beacons and nearly no modules. I think they break the game. Belts and insertest most suitable instead of fastest available. No solar. Stack inserters only for chest-chest, never for belt. Never use "underground belt trick". I hate it, we need lane-balancer. Logistic bots only for train...

Link please ? I somehow didn't find it...

Hello, Oil Processing is very complex part of early-game, but easy part of late-game. Coal Liquefaction is a greate tech, but we definitely can use more of this, especially within already implemented components. I've read that IRL Sulfuric Acid might be used to refine some Oil fractions. I'm not goo...

Hello, Currently "Oil Processing" tech unlocks 3 buildings : Pumpjack, Oil Refinery and Chemical Plant. Also it is the first time player have to use Storage Tanks, Pumps and complex pipe setups. It's a lot. Simplification of "Basic Oil Processing" recipe is a very good step, but ...

I think it is one of the biggest misunderstanding remaining in the game at the moment. This 5s actually is "5 work units", not "5 seconds". And assembler1 performs 0.5 "work units per second".

Hmm, I'm surprised that no-one has made an "handcraft tech" mod yet ?

I already suggested this "from the ground" mode and some kind person even made "handcraft tech" mod by my request.

Have you tried overlapping the blueprint when you tile it horizontally? I have a hunch that you could shave off a column or two of heat pipe between exchanger columns without stifling the heat flow (though it would mess with the alignment with the reactors). Yes, here is too many heat pipes, but I ...

New fluid system still not implemented.

Steel chest.

66.6 * (90-25) * 1.3 = 5627.7 ~ 5.6k
I assume 25 of 90 resulting heavy oil is treated as catalyst and isn't affected by productivity bonus.

It's not a 160MW/reactor since reactor on sides have less bonuses : - 160MW for each in the middle and 120MW for each on sides, so 2.4GW not 2.560GW (check by yourself in-game : 200% on sides, 300% on middle ones) - Turbines are easier indeed ;) - Heat pipes are still too numerous, you can do bette...

It's not tileable at all since you don't include 2 parameters : If you add 4 reactors, the gain from proximity is not taken in account, so you lost many energy You didn't add Turbines which in an 8 core scenario would need around 194 Turbines for 112 Heat exchanger Plus, you use to many lost copper...

I hope I finally did it : precise, compact, tileable steam exchanger setup for big 2xN nuclear power plant. Here how it looks : 2019-04-24.png Blueprint contains 16 exchangers - exactly for 1 full adjacency reactor. Blueprint is exactly 20 tiles width - 4 reactors. So it must be repeated 4 times ver...

Steam is great to launch first rocket. After that uranium is preferable. You are always free to place some solar panels if you like, but it is not mandatory. Make sure that entire iron patch is covered with miners, and all ore is smelted without bottleneck. If yes, found mining outpost - it is alwa...

Yeah, shouldn't we be able to equally split using a tank, two pumps, and a two-states timer ?

I'd say, two pumps connected to one segment must split 50/50, but you know, building order...

In my opinion it is not only correct assumption that they should behave identically. They should behave predictably. Practically all machines are individuals. Manufacturers give certain acceptable range for performance and other properties. Of course most virtual worlds behave more perfect way, but...

I don't know if that would help. Putting chain signals at each entrance would break the stacker.
Usually the stacker works fine, but this problem occurs only occasionally.

No-no-no, put 1 chain signal on overall entrance, before the fork. Where second loko of red-science train stands.

Try to place chain signal on the entrance.
P.S. And let me know if it helps.
