Suggestion 1 : Can you please make the space platform look nicer. Now it looks like it is made of junk. Suggestion 2: Please give at least one more rocket upgrade (preferably 2) that carries more cargo (given that you are intentionally going to limit the landing pad per plant to just 1). Like falcon...

one of the things that makes Factorio a good teacher is that how close the game is to the real world scenarios. Eh? https://alt-f4.blog/ALTF4-35/ I am an engineer working in high volume manufacturing plant for 10 years (which manufactures billions of products annually - literally) of course it's a ...

Looks interesting. If we are talking about realism, the space platform shouldn't stop when the engines stop firing, it should continue moving... you'd need to decelerate to arrive... anyway. But a big plus for not having burners or robots in space! And i love the idea of space salvage and the trade...

Suggestion 1 - add robots to space platform Requesting to add robots to the space platform to add more capability to it. for an instance , robots can repair space platform if got hit and damaged by asteroids Robots , can build space platform as per the blueprint once the items are delivered on board...

actually, i observed that, a straight pipe line cannot accommodate more than 14 HE without bottle necking the steam output, what is that ..
how that calculation works , any idea .. ?

Thank you for the time and reply astroshak. The water is sufficient, verified it. looks like the problem is the pipe cannot get out the steam of 10HEs,. Interconnecting is causing pressure distributions issues, the fluid mechanics inn factorion un intuitive :?: even adding pumps is not working may b...

Hi, This topic might be discussed earlier , but I could not find an exact solution i need. i see that fluid behaves weird in certain situations. In the below, you can see the the reactor design i was trying, but i find that the steam is not reaching to the right and left extremes. At the same time ,...

as you all know , we need to balance all the wagons so that the whole train won't be waiting for a single wagon. Only if you use the "full cargo inventory" wait condition. Try setting "time passed" instead if you don't want to wait. Thanks for the message. yes , that can be done...

I am not sure about UPS. One thing I do know is that balancers will draw evenly upon all the cargo wagons. Bots, not quite so much. Bots delivering to, or picking up from, nearer chests will finish any one trip faster. Thus, it can be sent on a repeat trip that much sooner, which results in that ne...

Hi, I have been looking for an answer for this, but not yet clarified. I need to load and unload trains, the thing is that as you all know , we need to balance all the wagons so that the whole train won't be waiting for a single wagon. so we need to balance all the wagons. what is the best (ups frie...

oops,
i thought it shows only beacons
how i delete this post ?

The status sidebar, shows incorrect number of effect sources.
it should be 12, while it shows 15.
added the screen shots

Nope. When a train arrives at signal it is the only train to arrive at that given signal, so what you are most likely requesting is if a train cannot reserve a block it should queue as first for the reservation. This would work only in case of a rail signals, but in case of rail chain signals it wo...

Why do you mean that the order of trains is somehow important?

because it feels right

trains from coming from far away are coming and leaving the junction where as a near by train trying to cross the same junction end up waiting for eternity.

in other words, will a train prefer nearest empty station or a nearest station with train limit less than maximum. When a station is occupied it gets a penalty for the pathfinder. So it will tend to prefer smelter 2. But if your train is near smelter 1 and far away from smelter 2 it will still go t...

The train Limit is indeed a simple and elegant solution. yet, there is one more thing I want to clarify, in a scenario like this, there are 2 stations say (iron smelter 1 and 2) and both are named Smelter , Both the stations have have train limit limit as 2. The smelter 1 is the nearest from the min...

Hi, WHAT To make trains to follow First in First out for in the junction or at any waiting signal. HOW The trains are not somehow following FIFO even if we wanted to, and of course there are some decent complicated ways to achieve that via circuits. I have an idea to make each train to have an inter...

my opinion is that it would be better if the new miner gave visual data similar to the old ones .. What data? And which old ones? The old-old ones gave less data, and the new-old ones gave the same amount. https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-350 That did not answer my question. In the very old iners...
