Re: Thanks for all the fish! (Cave spoiler Spidertron)
Wouldn't it be simpler and cleaner to just give the silo circuit network capabilities? All you would need is read contents and launch on circuit signal.

Re: trains behavior with few same name stations
The problem with having the same number of trains as stations is that they will all block each other, there is no empty station to path to. As I said, my method works best if you are over producing. If you had 3 ore stations going to 2 smelters, or were able to load at the ore station faster than th...

Re: trains behavior with few same name stations
I use same name stations and what I found works best is to have (for each cargo type) N-1 trains where N is the total number of stations, and each station is limited to one train (unless there is a stacker at that station, in that case I add 1 to N and the station limit for each stacker lane). This ...

Re: Need Some Advice On...
That is exactly why I moved away from belt busses and switched to a modular rail network. I always ran out of room to add belts to the bus. If I run into bottlenecks with the rail system all I need to do is drop down another production module. If the main line starts getting too much traffic I simpl...

Re: Portable Fusion Reactor visual appearance in relation of visual totality of game
I figured it would have it's own fuel inventory slot. Either a new GUI with fuel slots in it that opens when you right click on the PFR, or add fuel slots to the armor GUI when you have the PFR equipped.

This is a simple backup utility and launcher that I put together in VB.Net. Factorio Backup Screenshot.jpg Just specify the path to where you want the backups kept, the path to your save files, where the Factorio.exe is located, how many backups to keep, and if you want blueprints to be backed up wi...

Re: Portable Fusion Reactor visual appearance in relation of visual totality of game
I'm not really a fan of the free energy thing either. I wouldn't mind if it needed to use fuel to run.

Re: Need Some Advice On...
I usually start with a spaghetti disaster until I get enough resources to start a rail network. After I get some smelting arrays, oil refineries, and mining outposts established I start to build modules on the rail network to assemble intermediate resources, then work on building a mall. Eventually ...

Re: [1.1.4] Crash on autosaving: this->target.circuitConnectorID == CircuitConnectorID(-1) was not true
I just got the same crash. Autosave started and failed as I was adding fuel to a train. A few minutes earlier I placed ghosts for quite a few medium electric poles, maybe related?
Edit: Replaced the save file with one closer to the time of the crash

Re: Trains still route to closest station (with limits set)
I have all my stations set to 1 (unless I have a stacker for that station, then I add the number of trains that will fit in the stacker) and then add the limits of all the stations and subtract one for a particular cargo to determine how many trains. For example, I have 2 copper plate shipping stati...

Re: Reduce range penalty on robot charging stations
Would adding a charging limit (similar to the new train limit) to the roboport work here? I imagine it would work in a way that if the limit is currently met, robots looking for a place to charge would essentially be blind to the full roboport and path to the next closest one. I don't know how it wo...

I assume those are controls for the Editor, since they're under the Editor group.

Re: [1.1.2] trains refuse to path through station
It actually looks like a very efficient and compact build. Assuming there are only one train of each type of cargo (or the new station limits are used) there shouldn't be any issues after the bypass station is added.

Re: [1.1.2] trains refuse to path through station
Do you think a dummy station on that lower bypass lane would balance the pathfinding?

Re: New 1.1 entity statuses explained?

I'm having issues with this as well. I'm going to try deleting my steam cloud storage when I get home and see if that fixes it.

Re: Do not stop the train at the station, if the conditions are already met
A "Skip if conditions are already met" checkbox for each station in a schedule would work better. Maybe a "Continue through station" secondary checkbox (only available if the first is checked) to allow the train to take a shortcut to the next station in the list or continue throu...
