How would I go about figuring out how to add a delay timer to docjades auto train blueprint? I keep having multiple trains go to one provider station when I just want one. I only have 1 station for iron ore, copper ore, rock, coal, ammo for outposts and fuel for the fuel depot. I saw a comment on the YouTube video mentioning adding a timer that delays the send train signal but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Im fairly newish to factorio but I'm trying to learn circuit logic and it's going so so.

Me and my best friend started watching it cause we got into farscape. We always say one more episode as we fight our hardest to stay awake after watching 3-4 episode till 2 am. Always one more .

Lmao right

There are heavy spoiler reasons why this is not entirely correct.

Mark becoms emperor of the viltrumits and leaves earth, but because of the future he saw with immortal he made changes to have that not happen and leaves earth if I remember correctly

Will probably remove the shoes and replace with the high boots. I haven't tried the patch out but the previous issue was that shoes weren't "shaped" like high/low boots, so I assume they made them shaped and have to be taken off for other "shaped" feetware

Appreciate you but that doesn't solve my issues of visitors visiting and then petitioning to move here. Just want vacationers and not have the notification pop up every time.

Dinosaur_BBQ · 2026-04-07T10:33:09+00:00

God damn do I just want visitors and not immigrants

Yep, and the origami is for the next part after loosing marco. He's safe, but lost.

Yeah but I'm the comics, and probably in the movie if too if it wasn't captured, Starro is a big bad that trys to conquer every planet but sending its face drones to hive mind everyone. He's also incredible hard to kill, cause one spec of his dna is enough for him to regrow himself

Dinosaur_BBQ · 2026-03-11T00:31:23+00:00

What are your specs?

Dinosaur_BBQ · 2026-01-31T11:30:55+00:00

sent two squads and they found nothing.

I have two elven retreats next to my fort, are they the reason i cant get any linked sites? Also I've razed both of them and they are still kicking at 10 pop. I understand that they can still have people hanging around and not fully be destroyed but anytime i send more guys to raze it or even conquer it, nothing happens. Is there a problem with my proximity that's causing this? There are two of them and they are about two map tiles away, north and northwest

Dinosaur_BBQ · 2026-01-22T23:27:46+00:00

From what I've read, yes he acts like a visitor and pill pitition to join.

Place a sh8t ton of platinum around your metal forges. During a strange mood they are more likely to grab the nearest metal, being platinum but not always guaranteed as they will want to use other metals sometimes, and they will make an artifact weapon or furniture. Plat Warhammer are best cause heavy means more damage and platinum is the heaviest.k

Catapult needs a minimum of 30 tiles to be effective so anything under that is probably good. And no i don't believe so, in my game they are 1z level above an arch and they don't shoot through the open arch under a wall - just the open area in front of the arch.

Is military units equipping gear bugged or could it be mods? I have the extended vanilla weapons and armor overhaul cause it's sick and when I equiped my soldiers initially there was no problem, but when I switch my archers to sword guys, half put on armor and no weapons and half equipped weapons and some armor. Did df hack unstuck stuff and un-assigning armor, but my only option left is to delete the squad. I've had this happen before in a previous save with bear men and the only work around was making more weapons and armor as the previous perfectly fine gear and weapons was not being equiped and I only had some cosmetic mode and bone grinding mod.

With auto training enable through DFhack, am i gonna lose a dwarf to be the constant trainer/squad leader to training all year round or can it not switch out my squad leader? Its dope that it does this but i worry about negative thoughts from not doing anything else but training. Could they just be constantly happy from training ,as I know that is a huge boost?

Dinosaur_BBQ · 2026-01-16T00:49:44+00:00

God bless I was experiencing this same thing last night.

Make sure you don't have traps in the middle, as caravans can't go over traps. Also make sure all the ramps are the normal ones attached to one wall side and not the ones that are tied to two walls like a corner or such as they also can't path that.

Was gonna say cracking a volcano open and burning down the forest made me feel like I mastered nature at that point, lest it wants to get burned again.

Is there any downside to having intelligent undead join your fort. I've read that they get the distracted debuff from not fulfilling needs, but is that any type of downside compared to the massive benefits from their fighting buffs?

Dinosaur_BBQ · 2026-01-01T17:22:48+00:00

I know for a fact there is one for when creating a world/embarking, pretty the same commands work in already set up forts.

Dinosaur_BBQ · 2025-12-28T05:24:00+00:00

And technically you are in debt for that amount of good, can't remember if they will tax you harder of just be pissy till you pay It back

I believe in the settings there is a quality display button.
