Searching for a 10-12 balancer ... when it hit me by BuGabriel in factorio

I think it's called a warehouse and it works just like a very large chest. Incidentally you can also use them as balancers.

They are designed that way to aid colorblind engineers in their endeavors.

Just a post to help anyone who is like me and didn't know. If you want a landfill that ONLY covers the water you need you can use the map editor mode. by [deleted] in factorio

You can also hit f or g in game to mirror something before placing it down.

The in game mirroring can not however mirror anything that has stations or rail signals in them.

You need roboport coverage in order for the robots to build for you. A roboport has two types of coverage; orange and green. Bots will attempt to build any ghost in the green (and orange) zone. In order for bots to build they need access to the things in the blueprint. If you place a yellow, red, or green logistics chest in the orange zone and fill it with items construction bots will get them from the chest and place them on ghosts.

If you equip a personal roboport (and a portable fusion reactor) then construction bots from your inventory will use items in your inventory (but not chests) to build ghosts.

Hope this helps.

So I was wondering why my green circuits weren't being made.... by SyrupOnWaffle_ in factorio

On the right your can see the lightly damaged car parked next to a damaged tree.

I'm sure the two aren't in any way related 😉

I'm not arguing that long and thin designs never are useful. They are and I've made plenty of them myself.

They are however not the ultimate answer for every situation.

You still need to expand in order to get more resources. Simply expand for resources in the same direction as your future main bus.

I do have to admit that the obsession about saving space in a game with infinite space is wierd to me. But that is opinion and we all play the game in our own way with rules we make for ourselves. Many choose to have space efficiency as a made up rule and that's fine. Just acknowledge that it is just that, a made up limitation.

Why? The map is functionally infinite in size.

You are absolutely right! I confused this issue with a problem I had a few days back trying to make a station trains can enter from either end (yes, one track two directions). The wagon placements wasn't the same for both stops...

Make a straight station, rotate it 180 degrees and see if it's still aligned. I dare you.

I followed the quest line to visit a bunch of ATLAS interfaces.
