I have tried almost everything under the sun to get this working, but the second I have 2 rails intersect so I can get 2 different smelting arrays to co-exist, they just don't want to.

It obviously comes down to my lack of foundation knowledge on the signals. But this specific circumstance is really stumping me. Could anyone please enlighten me on what I am doing wrong?

I pressed ctrl+C, missed the thing I was trying to copy and placed the result on my hotbar. Now I have ctrl+C binded on my hotbar?? I never knew it was a thing!:O

Also turned off biters is that fine?

Hey engineers!

I’m the dev behind FactorioCodex.com — a modern blueprint sharing and discovery platform. Inspired by what this community has been asking for over the years, I've been working hard to make it a tool you'd want to switch to. Here's a quick look at what’s already done and what’s still cooking:

Done & Live:

• Standard blueprint search with shareable/bookmarkable links
• Unique Factory Search - Search within books and sub factories for your production needs.
• User profiles (view other players’ blueprints easily – feedback welcome!)
• Working blueprint preview generator - Each sub factory is automatically rendered within a BP string (Example here)
• Tagging system

• Blueprint stats - Components, Products, and Estimated production inputs and outputs of each factory/book

  Partially Done / In Progress:

• Filtering system – e.g., search for setups that don’t require specific tech

🛠️ On the Roadmap:

• Collections - Similar to Nexus mods, allowing users to create custom collections which can be exported directly to a BP string, voted on it, and comments
• Notifications – get alerted when your favorite creators post or update blueprints
• Blueprint cloning (like Git) – clone a blueprint to your own profile in case the user deletes the original
• Bulk import blueprints from other sites (paste multiple URLs?)

Now I’d love your help 👇
Which feature should I prioritize next?
Are there any must-have features I’m missing?
What would make you switch from other sites (or just start saving blueprints in one place)?

Drop your ideas, wishes, or feedback in the comments! Every voice helps shape this into something truly community-driven.

Thanks,

The tiny islands on Fulgora are very cramped for space and I have some plants making recyclers under the tracks at one spot which makes it hard to see what is happening under there without removing the tracks then putting them back.

Is there an easier way?

Fulgora: green quality goods clogging belts shutting down the whole factory

Vulcanus: belts clogged with stone and no calcite

Gleba: entire belts of spoilage.

Nauvis: ...wait where is Nauvis again?

Aquilo: ice cream sandwhich base

Me: fiddling with combinators and belts so I can get 0.02% more sulphur on a space platform while it idles over one of the above dead factories with unfulfilled requests.

Requests made do not get filled, even auto requests for construction

last night I finally worked my way out of being burnt out a bit with the game, and got stuff done, improved nauvis with biolabs, fixed power on vulcanus, replaced and upgraded most of my inner planet haulers so they now run at 300km/s and carry about 5 times as much cargo I thought I could handle going to Aquilo.... And then the big asteroids hit.... first time in the playthrough that I've actually lost a ship... guess I'll get to read the big asteroid stats and design a new ship tonight xd

On all other planets heat pipes are not drawing energy instead they store it as heat. I wonder if this is also the case on Aqulio or are heat pipes actually drawing energy due to the cold and heating up buildings?

If you've not played this amazing mod, I strongly recommend you consider rolling your install back to 1.1.110 and trying this out.

Seablock is a mixture of the old-school gold-standard of complexity mods - Bobs+Angels, all while stuck on a island in the ocean. Your journey begins on a 1x1 tile, with a rock containing just enough resources to get going. From these tiny and very restricted beginnings, your factory will bloom. You'll start with huge restrictions in power and land, yet blossom into a fully fledged megabase.

Seablock is an astonishingly well polished overhaul mod and a serious challenge that will at times confound and bewilder. And yet I've found it to be the most overall rewarding experience that Factorio has to offer.

Instead of turning the excess ammonia into fuel which would need crude oil I void it by setting the cryo plants with the rocket fuel recipe whenever the tanks contains 5k+ ammonia which drains it under 5k and removes the recipe. Since the pumps prevent the ammonia from going back in the tanks only 200 ammonia can be refunded into the pipes in front out of the 1000 in the plants voiding the rest. Makes roughly 350~ platform per minute

I'd like to use the tech price multiplier but not affect infinite tech later in the game. I also do not want to use console commands as I don't want to disable Steam achievements.

Are there any mods that allow this?

**EDIT** There is a way to enable the use of mods without disabling Steam achievements. I have tested this, but I haven't found a solution to allow the change of the tech multiplier later in the game or a mod to have it not affect the infinite tech from the beginning.

**UPDATE** I think I have found a mod that works and it's current for Space Age. For those interested try this out: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/research-multipliers

After 240h i finally made it. i have around 24kspm, >100gw of power on nauvis, and started making legendary stuff. but hey, the factory must grow! and because i postet my silos: they grew from 60 to 200 xD

man i love this game.

I'm designing my 3-6 belt purple science setup and it is the first science that needs proper belt unloading from trains.

This setup can unload 16 green of 100 stacked items from 2-8 trains with legendary nuclear fuel. The difficult part is that this requires a new train every 8.3 seconds. 12 legendary stack inserters can unload a wagon with 4000 items in 2.8 seconds, allowing enough time for a train to arrive. However this only works if all chests are drained at a similar rate.

I unload the chests at a similar rate by switching between the stack size 4 and 8 for the inserters that unload first every 2 seconds with a small overlap.

I do lane balancing but am not sure if it is really necessary.

please help the pipe heading into the pump is at 98.8 petroleum but the pump is only getting 60 does anyone know why and or need more information

What do the arrows mean with the distances under them mean when i hover over pipes? Also pipeline extent is how long i can go before having to place a pump?

When requesting from the space platform on nauvis i can only select a specific amount like 200-inf or 800-inf but not "all." How do I do that?
