Hi,

I have found that my fps drops less 60, but my cpu usage is less than 50% and gpu usage is less than 25 percent.
is there anything i can do to improve performance.

thanks for sharing , let me take a look

If your stations are unloading so fast that the trains only go to the first one, then is balancing going to help in any way? balancing is needed because, as the first station is unloaded more times , only the first station has resources accumulated .. and the trains come in for loading , wait for t...

@5th Horseman: No, I dont think so. @Varundevan: Out of curiosity: What do you need this for? I usually have one (ore more) smelter setup and deliver ore directly to it. actually , i created a 60 spm tilable bp (with its own smelter all it needs is just resources) .. so i can add more and more of t...

@Premu: Yes, that is viable too. Here is your blueprint with a few things added: - MadZuri loading, to fill the chests evenly. (He is the one who invented this) - Station and signal enable/disable based on the amount of ore in the stations. - different transfer of ore from unloader to loader. - All...

Sure:) What sort of help do you want? (if you post a blueprint of your station setup< I can add the trick i am talking about, for instance.) i have refined this loading station , as far as i can . i have cramped as much waiting stations as i can this i have designed for 12 input trains and 12 outpu...

Another approach could be to enable stations based on the amount of ore present. To prevent looping trains when all stations are full add a dummy station with a signal closed with a circuit network condition, between the stacker and the load/unload stations, so trains will still go to the stacker. ...

Directly above this post are sticky posts. One of them is called "Combinators 101 (Link)". You might want to read that one.

thank you , i just searched and found it useful ..

hi, This might be a simple question, but i could not find the exact answer i need. I have 5 different signals namely 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 coming in a green wire. the time period of this signal is not definite as it depends on train unload time in the station. the signal 1 may hold for 5 secs , and signal 2...

Alrighty, re-reading, then yes, understand your intention. One station unlocked at a time, rotating as the previous is used. My thought for a station's logic is then to Only enable Station N when Station N-1 has a train (trainID non-0) Arrive. (Keep it on forever, until below) Disable Station N alw...

To me the logic would work as follows: Are the Stations 1-5 far apart? Is there a reason a typical stacker setup will not work? To me Factorio is all about solving problems, so I enjoy these mental exercises... the 5 stations are close , the they are stacked, the problem is that , the first station...

Hi, I need a help in creating a logic , that enables 5 different stations of same name in sequence. I have 5 stations of same name say "iron pickup", normally all 5 stations are enabled at the same time. now, what i need is .. i want to enable station 1 only, when train arrives station 1 ,...

You can use some "circuit magic" to steer trains to all your unloading stations. Here is a design from me which I already have posted, distributing trains over several unloading stations with the same name: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=85193 You might be able to u...

The key to having multiple Iron Mine stations, and one (or a couple all at the same location) Iron Smelting station is to make sure of a couple of things. One, that your stackers at all your stations have enough bays for all your trains. Two, if you are disabling Iron Mine stations, that you always...

Yes, they go to the nearest station. You generally don't want multiple stations with the same name some distance apart, and multiple trains. If it is rather multiple "platforms", that is fine, make sure you have a common waiting area and use chain signals, the trains will wait at the chai...

hi, I have a iron and copper ore loading station , where over 12 trains go pick ore from 7 different patches and deposit in one spot (the blue box , its a like a warehouse for ore). I have noticed that the trains always wants to go to the nearest stations and wait in the nearest station but do not e...

I'm fine with simply priming my centrifuges once per hand with exactly 40 uranium. After that it's trivial to remove the excess. Doesn't even need any combinators

its not that i am not fine with it , it was my interest to build truly fire and forget , just an attempt to do that ..

Quite honestly, I don’t see any real value to this in the long term. plus, its food for the brain. you might ask why play in the first place.
