One of the reasons why I would put a roboport in the middle of solar grids is (in my case) that robots at some point need a "home" for when they're idle. When you have 50-100k robots all over your bases, each roboport can only handle so many of them at once in their storage. So since I use...

Maybe an option so that we can click on the train stop, and using the mouse wheel, we can rotate the angle?

I like the analogy,it gives me a new way to think about signals when I lay them down, so I can decide if I actually need a chain signal, or if I'm just putting it down because of the so called rule "chain before intersection". Thank you for that. Using a combination of tips from here and e...

That's awesome, loading time (up to the "Factorio initialized") went from 97 seconds down to 29. Much appreciated, thanks!!

Oh.. that was not very useful.. i've updated the original post...

I googled but couldn't find anything that helped. I can't pinpoint exactly when that started (a couple of releases ago maybe?) but I've noticed the game taking substantially longer to load than it used to. Typically, it used to take maybe 20-30 seconds to load, now it's more in the range of 2-3 minu...

Thanks gentlemen, that helped. Especially the high throughput merge. I had chain signals there, and when I replaced them with regular, that made things much better at that end. I guess there's not much else I can do, the reality of it being that I am merging 8 lanes into one, so there will be times ...

Logistic example.gif I think you are mistaken (or my 0.15 is broken). All bots fly to one chest, after xx arrivals the chest is full and all bots fly to the next chest. And it is by no means the closest one. Sorry, I'm late to the party, but from observations only, what I think happens in this case...

Disclaimer: There is nothing wrong with the game, it's all me doing it wrong (as C.Will would say). And this is no sarcasm, I am aware of it, I just can't figure out a way to fix this. I use LTN mod, but this also has nothing to do with the mod. It has to do with my laying down the rails I guess. Bu...

Thanks for that info, I'll adjust that. What does usually happen when the timer expires? I know the schedule is already on the train, so the train will eventually make it to the unloading area and then the depot. But does it have any negative repercussions other than displaying that message? Once t...

"Delivery from A to B running for 18060 ticks removed after time out". So as I expand, the mines get further away from the main base, hence, the main reason I use trains. This is the first one (mine) I get this message consistently. So a pickup job gets dispatched there, trains head out in...

I just wanted to say thank you. I'm still learning and fine-tuning based on everything I read here, but for the most part, I have converted my ~30 mining areas, and I have 20-22 trains being dispatched all over to get the needed stuff. The only issue I have found (And for now have a workaround) is m...

I think what you're describing is discussed in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=48349&start=20#p280122

Not at all. To elaborate a tad on this, (and please correct me if I'm wrong) I never actually tested, but what seem to happen is that loaded or not, a train will make it to maximum speed. The longer the train, the longer it takes to reach that speed, but loaded or not seem to make no difference. In...

It took me quite a while to get started with bots. At first, I just couldn't see the point, since I could do everything with belts anyway.. My first experience was with construction bots. I quickly realized I built the same thing over and over, and it just became tedious really fast doing it by hand...

Alright, so I decided to start over and actually use (and study, to the best of my abilities) the blueprints provided. So the depot works great, the requester stations appear to request the proper number of items, based on what's already in the chest, my issue is with the provider. I used the bluep...

Greetings, I've watched Nilaus tutorial, and with that, was succesful in setting up all my stations fairly quickly. They all seem to work, as far as I can tell. (ie, I've seen my trains being dispatched to more than one of them). The issue I am encountering is that when the base runs low on, say, co...

In 0.15.x there is a separate window for looking at logistics networks, the default keybind for that is "L". From that window you can view the contents of each logistic network in your game including your player character inventory. I'm not sure if it can be filtered, but it is very simil...
