You sure that is a missing gate and not a missing wall?
As for why it is missing, I have absolutely no idea.

Re: power requirements suddenly went insanely high
That looks like your coal ran out, honestly. 1.8 MW is one boiler feeding two Steam Engines. Either you have only the one boiler and did not notice the information about how much water the boiler drinks and how much steam it makes, and how much steam a steam engine drinks, OR you have more boilers t...

Re: How do i split 2 lanes into a center lane
A splitter will respect lanes. So if you use one splitter to merge those two belts into one, you will have one output belt with iron on one lane and copper on the other. If you are looking to have iron and copper continue down the outside as well as merge into the middle, then you would need three s...

Re: Remove conveniences in favour of circuit networks

Re: Friday Facts #395 - Generic interrupts and Train stop priority
Honestly not too sure I like the change from āstop disabled = skip the stopā to āstop disabled = train stop limit set to zeroā. Though the interrupts and/or station priority seem like they will make good replacements. I currently use Enable/Disable for specific trains, such as my Crude Oil train. Wh...

Re: Is there a specific reason why wood is so useless?
To get rid of excess wood I set up a second power grid. It consists of some boilers and steam engines, however many I feel appropriate, and then however many radars that they can power. I aim for the full power draw from the boilers to maximize wood burning speed. The inserters that feed the boilers...

Re: Is there a specific reason why wood is so useless?
Wood is a fuel. Burn it as such. Put it into your furnaces, your boilers, or as a last resort your vehicles.
While you donāt want it to clog your logistics system, you can make use of that system to efficiently remove any wood you may have.

Re: Questions that have not been answered in the Friday facts so far?
I was suggesting that Landfill could be used to get at ores found in the water. Currently, water overwrites any ores, so all Landfill can do is help you place miners to get at whatever ores you find on dry land, next to the water. It was in response to the idea of specailized miners for use in obtai...

Re: Automated train stations. How do I "store" my idle trains?
ps. Don't ever use the "activate/disable station" functionality with circuits. If a station is disabled while a train is driving to it, and there is currently no other station with the same name and a train limit above 0, this train stops right in the middle of nowhere, clogging the track...

Re: Automated train stations. How do I "store" my idle trains?
I like to set the Train Stop Limit dynamically for solids. A single Steel Chest has more room than an entire Cargo Wagon, and I tend to use 6 per Cargo Wagon! Plenty of space for materials for additional loads. Liquids, I tend to have one Storage Tank per Fluid Wagon anyway, so setting it to 1 based...

Re: Automated train stations. How do I "store" my idle trains?
At the Oil Field stops, wire up a Decider Combinator between the Train Stop and the Storage Tanks. Storage Tanks on the input side, Train Stop on the output side. Crude Oil > 140,000 output L = 1. Then go into the Train Stop and set it to do the Train Stop Limit by circuit. L is the default Train St...

Re: Balacing problems in [1.1.101]
Undergroundās have always (that I can recall) done that. When sideloading, the hood blocks one of the sides of the oncoming belt, only allowing the contents of the other side to pass.
That behavior can be useful, for balancing the lanes on the belt.

Re: Efficiently tearing down logistics networks
Be more selective. Deconstruct the ports in order, furthest from the clearing train stop first. When you are down to the power grid and that last port, deconstruct the power grid (take advantage of whatever power is left) then send in a spidertron to clear the rest. Itās more labor-intensive than I ...

Re: Train 2.0 question
That would just be a back door train stop limit adjustment. Unless there is something else coming for trains, I do not see generic āLoadingā and āUnloadingā stations being reasonable. Even with interrupts you still have to send the train to a specific (group of) station(s) based on need. Iron Ore Lo...

I donāt think it is reasonable to have all loading stations the same name.

One unload...

Re: Request random number of items from a inserter
Maybe someone else has a more elegant solution, but this is what I came up with. For this, you will need 5 Combinators : one Decider Combinator, and four Arithmetic Combinators. On the Input side, you want two Filter Inserters : one set for U235, the other set for U238. On the 235 Inserter, connect ...
