I'm building an inserter in real life

https://instagram.com/p/6yzLU6IfNx I've got computer controlled movement on 5 axies now, and enough lifting power to pull the robot off the table. Maybe it could drag itself from place to place? I want to say thank you to Factorio for the experience. I recently designed my first PCB and for every wi...

Re: Copy from factory to requester chest

Dave - I think the idea is to set up quicker. copy all the settings, then remove the few you don't need. still less back and forth than the current method.

Re: Copy from factory to requester chest

Someone on reddit suggested this should also work for green inserters.

I notice right now if I copy from a grey factory to a blue or vice versa it screws up the instruction, even if the instruction should be valid.

Arrange speed by color spectrum

Think rainbow.
Lowest speed > highest speed machines: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. six levels of faster!

Copy from factory to requester chest

When I copy from a factory and paste to a requester chest I'd like to have the factory's demands (what it needs to make thing X) copied into the chest's logistics demands.
Right now i have to open and close windows four or five times to switch between them and confirm I've got things right.

[10.8-0] copy/paste between factories incorrect

Symptom:

I copy from a blue factory to a grey or vice versa and get the paste is incorrect.
Green science from a blue becomes copper wire in a grey, and vice versa. Maybe it's pasting the last thing pasted to the same color factory? Not sure.

Severity: Low
OS: Windows 7

Alternate game win conditions?

Five tiers of rocket defense, not one artillery weapon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S94ohyErSw Please may I have a space elevator as the game winning construction project? It would be the ultimate wonder of the world. I have yet to see any game produce one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_el...

Re: Friday Facts #44 - Decision making

Tanks open a whole can of worms. Once I can put two belts on a motor and start driving around the first thing I want is to make it modular. I want to change the head for a machine gun or laser turret. I want to change the head to a long-arm inserter and program the movement, try to build a von Neuma...
