I haven't seen anything about changes to when biters will try to attack your base, but I seem to be getting raids from camps that are not being polluted. It's been happening the whole game on a new map started with 0.9.1, they just attack for (seemingly) no reason. My factory is idle as I'm busy bui...

Don't forget logic gates.

Finding a use for things gets in to the sandbox aspect. Most problems in the game are resolved simply by using brute force, increase production and force the solution down its throat. There is nothing preventing you from using more finesse.

Circuit networks have become mostly obsolete before you even build them. I'd say they still have a place, but wired is now more specialized. They don't need a roboport in range to function. You can have multiple wired networks within a small area, while wireless are all connected within the local r...

Electric furnaces need advanced circuits, which need plastic, which needs oil. They are also larger, being 3x3 instead of 2x2, so you'll likely need to rebuild your smelting layout. They use electricity (obviously) which requires you to invest in a larger power capacity. Steel furnaces are the same ...

You get circuit networks (wires) a while before you can use the logistic network. So soon that I'd consider wired networks as part of early game.

don't affect other beacons or anything without a module slot Last time I checked they affected steel furnaces, but this was relatively long ago, before beacons became nearly worthless except for the latest of lategames. I'll have to check that. It might be certain building types instead of only bui...

The regular rocket does not do area damage, only one target.

I'd like this just for aesthetic purposes.

Beacons give module effects to a radius, but only half the benefits. They stack with other beacons and modules already inside your machines, but don't affect other beacons or anything without a module slot (no benefit for laser turrets or inserters for example). I see them as extremely specialized s...

Using rolling_stock_count, I can confirm that ghost building a locomotive can cause this. Looks like it leaves behind a true ghost train

The only thing I can think of is ghost building. I'll look for the other problem area and see it there are any connections between the two spots. You can see that this isn't a typical factory setup because of something I am not using.

The same as putting the mouse over a logistic chest?

Chrotesque, get the hotfix https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=3&t=2479

In the first screenshot, the gas is fighting each other to reach both tanks and equalize them.

He's bringing up a specific problem to explain the purpose of needing Trains to work with the circuit network, not just asking for help solving the issue. What if I want to transport steel, gears, circuits, advanced circuits, plastics, sulfur, batteries, processing units, etc by train? Even if each ...

Coming from games like Minecraft, I am very uncomfortable with the control paradigm presented in Factorio, where the hotkey bar contains 10 extra inventory slots, instead of just being pointers to items in my inventory. How is it different from Minecraft? The toolbar on Minecraft is also inventory ...

It appears to crash at a few pieces of track that can not be mined. Edit: ps. Can this save be ...

I'm not against your suggestion, but you don't have to worry about reserving space for barrels if you use separate cargo containers on a single train. This works okay for barrels right now because they have tiny stack sizes and you generally want to load and unload as many as you can, like ore and m...

I think someone on IRC figured this out. It's 100 or 500 divided by 60, having something to do with the target framerate of the game. So, 1.67 seconds for copper and iron, 8.33 seconds for steel. Low fps hurts the production times? Even if someone could stand 15 fps, 4 times longer to produce every...

I was thinking that the new electric trains would be all electric based. It could require more steel, accumulators, engines, and ??? (processing units?) It would not create any pollution, would recharge at train stops if it has electricity coverage (allowing essentially unlimited travel distance). D...
