Probably easiest to just console command it:

code:

/c game.player.insert { name='iron-plate', count=1000 }
/c game.player.insert { name='copper-plate', count=1000 }
/c game.player.insert { name='stone', count=200 }

Bob's Mod's are concentrated sperg, holy poo poo. So many intermediate steps but at least it dumps a bunch of complexity on you once you've gotten bored of the base game.

I haven't built anything big enough to benefit from trains yet, so my opinions on them may not be worth much, but you know what I'd like to see? More varied and capable railcars. I'm envisioning a mobile construction train crewed by bots in roboport cars, supplied by provider cars, defended by turret cars, and controlled by a logic car that can give the train directions like

1. Drive forward as far as you can.
2. Build this blueprint, centered on this car.
3. Repeat if able.

Automating the expansion of factories seems like a pretty natural extension of the automation we've already got, and I'd love to see the pave-the-world plans people would come up with.

Oh god I can't stop playing Factorio. The main problem I'm having is my factory is curling in on itself and getting...untidy. Is there any way to remove lots of structures quickly so I can re-organize?

GotLag posted:

Sadly there's no API train event associated with gates, so I'd have to be constantly polling trains, determining location, and searching for nearby gates.

I don't understand what's happening there. I see the input and output, but can't figure out why that works.

How many red circuit assemblers do you all end up making? They're used everywhere, but man do they take so many resources to make. Or is that the kind of thing you just make locally and don't worry about shipping around your factory?

I'm really pleased how this turned out

I'm interested to see how you do your green chip production. I thought stack size only applied to storage-to-storage transfers.

How do you guys set up your train unloading?

Azhais posted:

So I found this picture, I assume that's basically what you're talking about?

Azhais posted:

Is there any good way to load balance the unloading stations?

Azhais posted:

Can you just name all 4 lanes in this example "offload" and the trains will just go to the first open one?

Azhais posted:

Yeah, there's nothing quite like walking into a factorissimo with 96 electric smelters and watching those little guys go

Nullkigan posted:

Whatr's the point of the super-short underground belts vs surface ones in that super-smelter?

Ratzap posted:

I'll skip the obvious solution of "just don't do that then" and move straight to plan B. Unpack autofill, edit it to not fill turrets, repack it and use that.

Solumin posted:

Someone on the forums pointed out the two parallel pipes on the right. Maybe they're integrating the fixed pipes from GotLag's Flow Control mod?

Azhais posted:

Yeah, the only thing I do manually with blueprints instead of making farl do it is intersections and ore stations.

Hell, there's no good reason not to just make farl lay down your solar farms while you're at it

Power Walrus posted:

I'm starting a new map with RSO and Factorissimo enabled. What I've read about RSO is that I'll be setting up lots of distant resourcing operations, and bringing them back to the central smelting / main bus. Do you all like to have a central factory, or is it better/easier/more fun to have multiple factory campuses?

Power Walrus posted:

Yeah, I suppose asking what is 'fun' is sort of ridiculous. I guess I'm more interested in building up a huge river of copper and iron, and then producing everything off that. Setting up a big rail network that delivers ore will be a new thing for me.

OH YEAH well I use the circuit network to turn oil cracking on and off as needed

Sage Grimm posted:

I greatly underestimated the level of research required after blue gets set up to reach the missile silo and launch. Also underestimated steel production..again. Made it to the 15 hours achievement with no issue but nowhere near the 8 hour one.

Ah well, time to dick around with trains and logi-bots at a massive scale.
