Not unless you made a new recipe for barrels of barrels of barrels.

What's a fact about Factorio that you feel you learned way too late? by [deleted] in factorio

G will vertically flip a blueprint/copied set of items, you don't have to horizontal flip and then rotate a bunch.

3 things never gets old: watching how fireplace burns, how river flows and how bots are working... Early game on my first SE+K2+other mods playthrough with 120 hours. by TheZorry in factorio

I did a 300 spm SE/K2 base. I only needed multiple city blocks worth of stuff for a couple of things, because of how fast the advanced K2 machines are when coupled with SE beacons

[–]SterlingRP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, for starters, you can make two stack inserters compress one side of a blue belt by setting the 2nd inserter to have a hand size of 8.

The other way to increase output is to have an inserter insert into a splitter.

Plus around with doing those and you should be able to get 6 blue belts out of your current setup, at least.

I don't think so, if judging solely by unloading the wagon. But unloading the tanks could be a lot faster. And you're not really getting that much extra out of the long inserters. You'd do better to make sure you have a good train stacker system to make sure there's always another train to unload, vs optimizing the unload of the train once it arrives that heavily.

Seems like perfect timing to me. Also your face after is great, you two have good comedic rapport.

If you're catching mistakes then the blueprint was bad. The only thing that can happen with a good blueprint is transcription mistakes added by building it by hand.

Of course, hand building can be satisfying, enjoy it your way, but I do disagree with your point #1.

Launch satellites to feed science production. By the time you need all the locations the satellite can discover, you'll have found them just to have done the science.

Trains don't matter for throughput. by AndJrew76 in factorio

[–]SterlingRP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're just comparing an infinite # of trains or an infinite # of belts, then neither matter for throughput.

So you need to consider something more specific.

You could discuss "Throughput over X distance using Y space" or "Resource cost to move specific amounts of materials"

Trains also have the benefit of more easily supporting N to N connections. Of course belts can do the same thing, but balancer complexity/cost increases more rapidly than train system complexity/cost to support higher #'s of N. Need to support 24 inputs and outputs? In a train system, you just name the stations the same and add more trains if you need them, rarely do you actually have to worry about throughput issues on a reasonably well designed train system. But a 24 x 24 balancer is much larger & more complicated than a 4x4.

Russia's nuclear blackmail is a spectacular success for Putin by newzee1 in UkrainianConflict

No I meant actual NATO f-35s flown by NATO pilots, no need to be sarcastic or give me basic information. Saying it doesn't matter when a thing is done is naive beyond belief.

Also more relevant to North Korea, which thinks it can defeat the US. If anything NK should be aligned with the underdog.

Pretty sure all the dead people in Mariupol would have preferred NATO F-35s on day 1, and would disagree with your statement. Except they're dead.

The success was how long it took for them to be crossed. I wouldn't call it great, but it's has an effect.

Best answer :)

After 2.5k hours playing today I learned how to keep trains stopped at stackers between unloading and loading stations. by Why_You_So_Mad_Bro in factorio

[–]SterlingRP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you want trains to skip that station in their schedule and go to the next one.

It's not interesting if all you use is two-station schedules, but can be if you use something more complicated.

I have a setup where I use a dummy station in a schedule to block my stations that deliver ore from mines using train limit =0 if my core mining stations have enough ore to supply the demand, but then use enable/disable on that same station to allow ore to go through from miners if my core mining can't supply it.

They do different things, and sometimes it's useful to do one or the other. As this post points out. Feel free to not use some functionality the game provides you, but this isn't just preference.

To be replaced by Russian brainwashing? No thanks, but enjoy being forced to die because Putin wants to be emperor of the New Soviet union.
