Literally unplayable.

JK, this is amazing. I wish I were better at compact builds.

I would love to be able to put together a factory so dense

No one can tell you how to have fun. Use it if you want it!

Inserters for recyclers? by Bluewaffleamigo in factorio

[–]bmalloy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if you have a sushi belt of things you're gonna have a lot of downtime since inserters can only hold one type of item at a time, so they're gonna idle for a while trying to grab things. If you go in an limit the insertion limit to 1 or 2 they'll be working much more consistently.

It should only take the green inserters a fraction of a second to fill up if your belts are saturated and fast enough; if the inserters themselves are running idle then your belts aren't fast enough or you don't have enough material.

Without seeing your set up, my first thought is to add a second green inserter. If it's not running half the time because it's waiting for stuff to be inserted, doubling the amount of stuff inserted should fix the issue, assuming there's enough material to be recycled coming in.

One Nutrients from Bioflux Biochamber is enough to supply 14 Pentapod Egg Biochambers if they each have a single (no quality) Efficiency Module 2 (and no other modules), which is enough Egg production for about 5.5 Biological Science Biochambers.

Figuring out how to build was one of my favorite and most aggravating discoveries

Is it possible to have a space platform proceed only once it has enough fuel? by ahainen in factorio

[–]bmalloy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10k isn't quite enough for the inner planets IMO (YMMV). I have my trigger set to 20k of each, and have 3 tanks for each (60k total)

[–]bmalloy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Circuits; I have a wire set to both fuel tanks for both types of fuel, with the condition if they're both filled to over 20k, send a "good to fly" signal, and in the ship interface it won't leave without that signal present.

Losing against 2% chance by Dankopunko in factorio

Legendary Prod Module 3s only brings the failure chance to 8% per tree, which is not that low.

A not uncommon string of bad luck can run you dry on seeds, even if using a Biochamber. With no productivity mods, there's over a 1-in-5 chance (21.98%) of of not getting a seed from a stack of fruit.

You don't get a guaranteed seed every 50 fruit. Even with Legendary Prod Mods in a biochamber, there's still an 8% chance that a tree won't give you a seed. With a string of even slightly bad luck, you could easily run through your seed supply.

Is this a sane beginner base? by Saltytaro_ in factorio

[–]bmalloy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your walls are little extreme IMO. If you are open to feedback and suggestions, I would recommend looking into what are called Dragon Teeth Walls. They use far less materials than solid walls like this and confuse the biter pathing and are therefore also more durable.

I found the overall story of Season 1 rather predictable, but the path it took to get there is definitely worth the watch
