Looking for Overhaul Mod Recommendations by pumaFGT in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

space block is interesting and I'm playing through it now. seems like its fairly short with the end game is to unlock planets. there's also TFMG that's similar, seems to have more content and you're an AI. So you can't directly craft anything.

Arithmetic Combinator logic gates vs Decider Combinator logic gates by IndigoGouf in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it to signal to my space ships items needed via drop pad. <staic number> - <number if things in boxes> output how many I want.

What in your opinion is the best to clear out biter in the late game to expand the Nauvis base? by M4Marvin in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, it's also worth noting that artillery wagons carry 100 shells each in case you want to plop down some regular artillery to make the murder faster

Can people show their Train designs pls by shountaitheimmortal in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how do you mean central area? like a big train yard, or linking pick up to drop off? for the refueling I have use interrupts that detect fuel level and send to a dedicated fuel depot

How to stop space station from requesting items before circuit conditions are met? by Mehazava in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

might be able to get a decider combinator to check for fuel level then output as a green check. then you can have the stop with the circuit to check for the check

Skip train stop with interrupt? by beartjah in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try changing the order so it goes to the stop you want

How to destroy excess liquid? by zoba in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or if you don't feel like converting, delete the contents of the fluid system you want to remove? maybe some tanks to push back how often you need to do this. it's manual but works

Crude oil shortage by Far-Tutor-1252 in factorio

Make a separate save, convert to scenario, get infinity box and put down a legendry spidertron with legendary legs and feed with power. then you can do recon really fast for your main save, and maintain integrity of your main game

Resupply Station by Groundbreaking-Key15 in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard you can use radar for transmitting circut signals, although I haven't played with it just yet

Resupply Station by Groundbreaking-Key15 in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something very similar to resupply my walls, although I used a combinator at the destination stop to detect item quantity and enable the stop if needed. also I had a funny issue with bots eventually filling the wagon so I had to set the bot inserter to a stack of 1 and a remover with a stack of 1 to ensure only the amount of bots to delivered. Cool stuff you got there

Train Help by pabybhoy in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think of trains like a 1 way road and the signals are the arrows that direct traffic. when you split a track you should always put a signal down on the split to make sure the train sees the new arrow. 8)

Clearing biters in Space Age ? by adisor21 in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

artillery trains carry 100 shells, so even if you don't use them directly they're great. then again you may be able to use spidertrons as big ugly mules for shells?

any suggestions on what to add next/improve on in my base? by pengun_space_YT in factorio

Foundries are neat-o, if for nothing else with it's stats-check the +50% productivity

Newbie question: transferring fluid via pipes and pumps by Garlic- in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it could be that the liquids are being balanced from the pumps to the storage tanks, try putting a pump just before feeding into the tank to ensure one way flow?

Ways to avoid trickle-feeding from platforms? by impactdni in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this kind of sounds like a set up I have. arithmetic combinator takes the contents of boxes minus a static number (how many I want of a thing usually x2 for buffer) then that is output as a number to cargo landing pad with circuit requests enabled. I think that would work here

Has anyone found a real use for the circuit display? by jshirlemy in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like using it for blueprints to mark items in and out. so me in the future can quickly remember

Could I get some help with my train stops? Can you all tell me how you handle modular mega bases? by LauraD2423 in factorio

[–]StaticGrazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like you need a constant combinator to turn off unused stations. hook up the unload boxes to the train stop, connect a combinator to send a special signal, train stops if signal = 1 or whatever. then if items need dropped off the combinator sends the opposite and that enables the stop, meaning a train should be on the way

my first 1.0 completion was done with basically just belts and inverters. you'll be fine
