There is nothing special about space on any platform for the past 15 years or so

Place trash in the wooden chest and shoot it

See comment by manghoti on reddit for compact & beltless variant for logistic bots.

There is a mod for that (roadworks)

This is not always like so! It's much more complicated. Please see the linked articles in https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/index.php?title=Splitters/Priority Sorry for the provisional state of the wiki article, but I think this is might change in near future (see https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/in...

So, what do I expect from ideal high-performance buffer? Input : -store overflow only, do not interfere with normal item flow Splitter cascade does that reasonably well Output : 1) if bus is 100% compressed, buffer should not leak 2) if bus is not fully compressed, buffer should saturate it to 100% ...

You can count them yourself

Great job. I was always curious how much power 0.1 well produces, and what is the best way to convert crude oil to solid fuel.

Note that this is not perfect. You will end up with some being pulled from the buffer regardless. Interesting. When I was testing design concepts for buffer, I got unsatisfactory results from the splitter side bias test case. I guess the behavior displayed in this picture occurs only with partially...

It helps, but even blue T-joint can't compress yellow belt fully.
And if your bus is already blue, well...you are out of luck.

Hm I guess if you neither care about the speed nor have any special other constraints then just do whatever you want :) Might get a bit more interesting if for example you want to take most of the material from a special line (example spare local mine as long as enough ore is delivered via train). ...

That will significantly change the game. For example, smelting line would not need a belt anymore, it can be daisy-chained line of smart inserters utilizing stack bonus to output shitload of copper it produces into one box.

Try RSO mod. It makes ore patches that are further from your base more rich. Makes them very sparse too, forcing you to explore and use trains.

There was a known bug, that poles, standing very near at diagonal track get destroyed, if the train comes by. Yes, it works, thank you! Much easier and precise way to test for construction bots. http://i.imgur.com/P0yBSa5.png We can set up track and 4 poles far from roboport and make train destroy ...

Early mid game - tank.
Late game - armor plus destroyers, and it feels like I'm cheating.

Biters attack power poles only if they are placed in the "area of rage" (the term/mechanic was explained somewhere on the forums, but I can't find it).

Relocate your power line further from your main polluters and it will be safe.

uber_kerbonaut on reddit suggested to use a sacrificial objects to sense if we need to add more construction bots in the roboport. One way to do it: laser turret outside the wall. When it gets destroyed, inserters will pass alien artifacts. We time how many of these gets through, and add new constru...

Yep, I just checked and Dave's mod can't import the string it produces, resulting in the same error.
