Actually I'm a strong supporter of Steam Power, because I just hate endless fields of Solar Panels & Accumulators. So my complete power-production basically depends on Solid Fuel to increase efficiency and because it's an infinite resource. Coal is my failsafe-backup if my Oil Industry can't ke...

Lol no, Numberpad 1

I use a Razer Naga on the numberpad setting I don't think F is bound now. I know I changed the info panel on ALT to F2, because every time I Alt-Tab, it turns it off, where as F2 is pretty much never used, except when renaming a file/folder!

Holding the f key while walking around at the same time to pick up things is quite awkward. Even more so during combat when you want to pick up alien artifacts. I know it can remapped to some other key, but it wouldn't help much. I rebound pickup to spacebar. It's a lot easier to hold space with yo...

You could essentially just not use two different products on one belt.

I only mix and match it if something will use both items, such as copper and gears on the same belt for red science packs.

Check your junk mail.

To be fair, they haven't charged your card at all. It's not handled by themselves.

If there was an occasion where I'd need the rails side by side, I'd just move the signals further down, or build around it :) I build to drive on the left, because it's how I drive in my country (UK), so makes it easier to think about it! I tend to do signals near to every big electric pole length. ...

This is a pretty cool way to label things. I like it and will have to incorporate it in future plays.

Though in reality, I will be joining my friend's game and writing "penis" on his map before disconnecting.

This is where someone amazing at maths will swoop in and show which is best: BI only burning fuel during a move for 13 moves, vs the amount of fuel used for a yellow inserter for 13 moves, in addition to the power used whilst the inserter is idle between the 13. https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vi...

also i am finding it quite annoying that coal is only used to make plastics and fuel trains in late game meaning that i mid sized coal deposit could last you for maybe 10 hours or more Consider using putting all turrets on a separate power loop and use steam engines to run it. Try not to go to town...

They don't have anything in the info panel when you hover over one to suggest they pollute, though boilers etc do. If you were to test it, you'd have to seclude it somewhere and just leave a burner inserter emptying 1 box into another, but otherwise I'm just taking the info panel for genuine referen...

The Burner Mining Drill. I build maybe 3 of the things before I get to electricity then they sit in storage forever. But you use those.... Burner inserters however have no use at all. Burner inserters. I never used those yet. Not ever. Burner inserters are undervalued, as they do not pollute. Furth...

Ok, I restarted the game and hit the play button on the train. Started clearing up some signals back the way they were. For whatever reason, when I remove the one circled, the train shot passed me. Maybe that signal was a dud I don't know but I've just watched the train do a full loop without a prob...

This one?

I had tried putting random stations at various sections; it runs the straights fine but seems to be that where ever the rail crosses with itself in another direction causes No Path error.

Hope this makes sense!

I've cut out straight track and just cut together the cross overs.

I did throw a lot down to see if it made a difference.

I can screen the entire track if you'd like? My upload speed is pretty crap for multiplayer.

Sorry to jack this thread. Also need a little help if you could, please? I can't figure out what's not working here at all. I've thrown down signals everywhere, doubled them up, and had them around the H cross, but no dice. This is effectively driving on the left, with an off-ramp driving across (or...

Though with a setup like this , copper wires on belts are probably the least of my crimes. One of many ;) I've started a fresh game on Factorio. I've not played at all since the birth of 11.2. I figured that as I moan a lot about cables on belts, I'd show how I do my green circuits, with buffer box...

Two (or more) trains won't make the train go faster. They're still limited by the individual train.

Two trains facing the same way will however decrease the time it takes to get to full speed.

Seems a little lazy to me!

The solution to this is to open the map editor, choose your settings and generate. You can then restart it a number of times until you find the right one.

At that point, you can save your map and load it in single or multiplayer.
