Consider the setup in the screenshot. The train (#203) is waiting on the blue chain signal. After some waiting the signal turns yellow, and the train passes it and it waits behind the next chain signal of the same chain. The train has orders to visit the station between the two chain signals. If I r...

Since you can't blueprint an existing train. Since you can't put things from inserters automatically into the grid of a train/wagon/fluid wagon/vehicle. Uhm... both works? You can blueprint trains just fine: the blueprints of trains contain the engine fuel as well as the indicators which items are ...

Same with the meter being defined by the speed of light and so on. A solution to this question exists already and has been applied: They voyager probes come with a gold plate which illustrate the location of earth. Distances from different pulsars are given in units of the fundamental transition wa...

My questions are: Is there a currently known method of suppressing items on the escape menu? Are there situations that fellow modders can envisage that might also need this functionality? What are your feelings on asking for this functionality, or even the ability to extend/mod the main menu? Ehm, ...

Would it be possible for a cargo wagon type entity to receive, store, and output a combinator signal? Or even a locomotive? If so I'd like that as an option. Alternatively what about a power armor equipment that does the same? Basically allowing you to collect a signal from a base, and take it with...

I don't think I did forget dependencies. The only dependencies that matter in terms of whether or not they can be split off into a new thread are ones that are along the chain of only those things that must be ready by the time the next tick hits, unless I'm mistaken? Consider the following: there'...

It's not uncommon that a green circuit factory is built near spots where iron and copper are close together. And you hardly ever have enough green circuits

Sometimes it happens that the amount of items in logistics storage is given as negative number. What is that supposed to indicate? That more items are requested than available? Is it a bug and should say 0? Something else?

place a box next to you, empty some of your inventory there...

You can always pickup your car instead of deconstructing part of your factory.

A belt can move your car and thus transport it to a place with an orientation where it could not have ended up driving.

5thHorseman, you don't keep custom deconstruction planners in your inventory (and link them to your quickbar) ? Or can we "share" redprints too now ? I'm using at least 2 : one that only works on mines, and another that only works (or only doesn't) on live trees, dry trees and rocks. Actu...

Allowing players to build canals is an too-easy defence against biters in default game: they cannot pass through and would allow to build undestroyable defences, if you build the canal far out so that no spitter can attack anything of value. Well, what I meant was specifically landfill - i.e. land ...

The blueprint library GUI is quirky, misleading, and I have already deleted (several) books without being able to recover them just trying to remove a blueprint from that book. There are several threads in the suggestions subforum requesting a rework of the blueprint library's GUI. I have hope this...

Still playing my 'default' settings free-build, got past my first rocket, and as I continue I really do not want to destroy a large forested area or cover up the water :lol: I need room but I just can bring myself to wipe out a large area of trees. I might be forced to only play games with less % o...

I believe items as on a belt are clearly visible and distinguishable when zoomed-in. Making statistics like total amount passed for longer time is easily possible by means of a small circuit network setup. A brief short-time statistics as shown by eradicator certainly would be nice... but definitely...

So is there any solution? In every game I have this happen to me... and they accumulate in trash cans...

"Taking all the heat and more": have a nuclear reactor explode due to taking damage during operation

I think this is a general feature of "Manually you can place stuff as you wish and it generally ignores blueprints in the location". The same applies to rails and signals... so you have to rotate them appropriately before placing them. Overall this behaviour is more advantegous than disadv...

TL;DR - Using other people's blueprints as part of your learning and exploring of the game can be a great experience, but just plopping down someone else's blueprint can rob you of part of the fun of the game (thus cheating yourself). (...) I recommend avoiding using other people's blueprints if yo...

I completed the game only once so far on my second try (after dozens of hours - I re-started my first base after 8 hours feeling things were too much of a mess once I figured out a few things). But the resource areas really only take about 40 mining machines and seem like they won't last all that l...
