    Belts, Underground Belts, and Splitters with Filtered Storage Chests + Easy Controls and Visual Indicators

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 05:53 AM PST

    Belts, Underground Belts, and Splitters with Filtered Storage Chests + Easy Controls and Visual Indicators

    A factory for all Belts, Underground Belts, and Splitters with Filtered Storage Chests + Easy Controls and Visual Indicators.

    The Main Section of the Factory

    Easy Controls:

    Set the controls at the top using the appropriate Decider Combinator for the number of Belts, Underground Belts, and Splitters that you want you store. By default, all splitters and underground belts are set to store 50 each, while belts are set to store 300.

    ​

    Control the Number of items to Produce by Entering the Number In This Rat's Nest of Combinators

    Visual Indicators:

    Each Decider Combinator has a Lamp to the left and right. Only one side of the combinator can be lit at once. The plain white lamp on the right means the factory is working to make the amount you set. The matching colored lamp to the left of the combinator means your filtered storage chest contains the amount set. In the example image above the Lamps indicate all the storage chests contain the requested amount of items.

    Filtered Storage Chests:

    Because the chests are filtered storage chests any deconstructed belts, underground belts, and splitters will be put into the appropriate filtered storage chest. Only items of that type will be able to enter the filtered storage chest. Keeping the items in the filtered storage chests reduces material waste, as your items are not in random chests somewhere else and this belt factory isn't producing extras as well. For example, if you deconstruct part of your factory, any belts will go into this belt factory's filtered storage chests instead of other storage chests you have. No spots are blocked off in the filtered storage chest.

    ​

    Filtered Storage Chests Are the Superior Siege Weapon

    The alternative that most people use is a Provider chest with blocked off spots. This is not a good option because you don't get the benefit of having deconstructed materials go back into that provider chest later on. You also need storage chests for any deconstruction as a result of blocking off the spaces in the provider chests. And worst of all you end up producing way more items than are needed that just sit in a storage chest somewhere else but aren't used.

    Overall you should use filtered storage chests throughout your factory mall and avoid passive providers with blocked spaces.

    I created a keyboard shortcut to open Factorio

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 04:51 PM PST

    Just as the title says. I use i3 on linux and have Factorio from GOG. Press mod+shift+f and factorio opens.

    The factory must grow.

    (as for people who want to do this, add this to your i3 conf: bindsym $mod+shift+f exec /Dir/To/Factorio/start.sh)

    EDIT: Turns out mobile formatting =/= computer formatting.

    Deep learning for factorio

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 07:52 AM PST

    I'm working on using factorio-bot as an interface for deeplearning, should I put the learning it does on a twitch stream?

    Mod request-solar city

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 07:43 AM PST

    I didn't see anything in the rules about this.

    Maybe it's already been made, it probably has.

    Solar city! Solar panels that you can walk on and drive on. Placeable just like concrete. Does something like this already exist?

    Power Issues at 1kSPM

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 07:21 AM PST

    I'm trying to get to 1kspm, but seem to have power issues. I have 9.8GW in nuclear and another 3.3GW in solar.

    Should I continue laying down solar panels until I can't see straight or will a nuclear build allow me to get the power I need before I run into UPS issues?

    Command Block Mod?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 12:14 AM PST

    I'm looking for something that amounts to a Minecraft command block in the game. An entity into which you can type a console LUA command, and have it run when the entity receives a certain signal on the circuit network (in the same way you can enable or disable a lamp using a circuit condition, say.)

    ​

    Does such a mod exist? I had a quick look but didn't find anything.

    ​

    I'm building a massive thing (look out for a future reddit post) and find myself using the same series of console commands over and over at certain times while testing. And this is a game about automation, after all.

    My notes after deciding to use maths for equalizing inputs and outputs, instead of haphazardly throwing buildings everywhere and hoping it churns out nicely.

    how many rail segments is too many?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 12:27 AM PST

    after 500 hours in the game nearly consecutively, I decided to convert my whole system to a grid format based on JonnyNof's grid blueprint that uses R-twister intersections for a few reasons:

    ​

    • My previous format was very ad-hoc and I felt a grid would enforce some consistency
    • I've seen other builds where it was successful and I liked it a lot
    • I thought it might solve some issues with throughput

    I'm sure there were other reasons, but I've now forgotten them, and they don't really matter. I am still after consistency - both visually, and with building - I really liked the 'city block' concept, but I had a bad time.

    ​

    Despite running Ryzen 3700x, the UPS impact from the R-twister intersection being abused so greatly in the JonnyNof blueprint is not unsubstantial. I did some digging via `perf top` since I run the game on Linux and found that the game is spending a lot of time in `Train::getPassingSignal` and `railsegment::getSegments`. More specifically, when I'm removing or placing blueprints of rail that contain signal, the whole game stutters, framerate drops to 5fps while the update time on the pathfinder spikes to 257 milliseconds!

    ​

    It is truly broooooken. Removing a vast swathe of rail / chain signals that *aren't even connected to a rail entity* are consuming shit tons of CPU time for seemingly no reason. I don't see why you couldn't perform some kind of segment merging or even just NOOP the whole routine while it is being deconstructed. I stopped all of the trains running on my network and it still causes the pathfinder to loop out while I'm removing entities.

    ​

    I have been kicked after getting desync'd from the server, which is when I looked and found that the TechTrains mod I was using for electric locomotives was causing `ElectricNetwork` to consume far more update time than humane, due to my recent grid expansion that contained about 34,300 entities for overhead power lines, dear god - my UPS dropped from 60/60 to 30/30.

    ​

    So after all this I'm left wondering how do other people design large bases and connect their city blocks? Has anyone made it work with city blocks - and how? I would love to be able to place blueprints without seeing "server not responding" and causing my friends with poor computers to lag out. We had a spaghetti belt world that never caused this kind of commotion even with the largest blueprints we'd placed (which, admittedly, are much smaller in scale than rail stuff ever could be).

    ​

    Could someone like /u/rseding91 help fix the bug in the engine that causes rail signals to hang the whole server for a moment while we're removing large amounts of entities that were causing excessive CPU time?

    How bad (environmentally) is using a flamethrower to purge every enemy I see?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 04:51 AM PST

    I have about 60 hours of experience with the game, but I haven't played in a few years ( I stopped shortly before uranium was added).

    I was wondering, since I always burn everything (trees, enemies and outdated equipment) will that effect the pollution by much? And if so, how can I reduce pollution while still purging at least my enemies?

    Thanks. -Me

    who needs walls?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 12:40 PM PST

    I have 1000+ hr on steam and just noticed belt splitters have settings.

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 08:24 AM PST

    The applications of the priority input and output settings are fairly obvious, but what about the filter?

    Alternating items on one side of the belt

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 06:39 AM PST

    Hi guys,

    Is there a way to make sure items come in alternating pattern on one side of the belt? Not sure if having circuits on transport belts would be a good solution (haven't completely figured out how that could work + might not be able to reach a full belt?)

    This is for military science - want one side of belt to be walls, the other side alternating grenades and piercing rounds.

    Lossless nuclear reactor, calculations

    Posted: 26 Dec 2019 05:59 AM PST

    So, Im calculationg amount of space for steam for mine nuclear factory.

    I found here info that 5 units of steam of 500C (yes, I want to calculate same data for Bob&Angel with high temp steam) contains 1kw of power.

    So 1 unit of steam contains 0,2kw 1 reactor gives 40MW which is 40 000 kW and therefore produces 200 000 units of steam (wow, 8 unmodded gas tanks just from 1 reactor)

    So, going further, I want to make 12-reactor power station with 2-rows to maximize bonuses. 12 reactors with bonuses will provide energy effective as 44 reactors, so it should be like 44 * 40 MWs = 1 760 000 MWs = 1.76 GWs Wow, huge amount. I starting to think I should reserve a lot of space for generated steam.

    So, these 44 effective reactors will make 44 * 200 000 = 8 800 000 units of steam. Steam is stored in standart tanks of 25 000 units, so it should take like 8 800 000 / 25 000 = 352 standard tanks to hold that amount of steam. or 8 800 000 / 50 000 = 176 t2 bob&angel tanks or 8 800 000 / 350 000 = 25,14... biggest modded gas containers (350k units)

    As I remember, modded bob&angel t3 heatExchangers produces higher temperature steam, 765C as I do remember. so, this steam should contain like (765-25) / (500-25) * 1kW of energy. Am I right on all of these maths?

    I think something is wrong here, it should not be correct. Maybe the source data is incorrect or wrong interpreted?
