Is there another way besides rockets and delivery cannons because they seem slow inefficient and consume lots of power or resources. Is there something I'm missing because its a pain to set both those for automation and I need space science to progress.

Not sure why the debug menu didn't circle all the rail signals but there you go

Been playing around with early-game rail. I like this design but I'm not sure if it's possible to prevent a deadlock like this from happening - any thoughts?

Would love a simple mod that just adds normal pipes in different colors. So that you can stay organized and keep track of the pipes. We have tiles in different colors. Why not pipes?

I would do it myself. But i can't code.

EDIT: I do not wish for pipes with added tiers or other functions. Just normal pipes, with different colors for visual organisation :)

Playing K2SE.

I occasionally get power spikes from roboports when they get a lot of orders all at once. I'd like to manage this better not just by increasing my power capacity, but also by maybe turning off the bots if I'm not producing enough power, to prioritise the rest of the factory, so it won't all shut down.

I'm not good enough at circuits to figure it out.

I don't really get the obsession, is it just because you can? I've built more than a couple megabases, some with 1000+ trains, and I've never built a 4-way junction. They seem like they'd be big traffic holdups. Am I missing out?

Are there any practical benefits to one of the other? Or is it simply a matter of convention?

The only thing that comes to mind as a possibility is rail signal placement possibilities because trains always read signals on their right. However, I don't have any data to back it up.

Are there any objective benefits to one over the other?

I sometimes take Productivity Modules for granted when i shouldn't. They enable me to do things that at face value should make no sense

"Oh, my mining outpost doesn't produce full 8 lanes of Ore? Doesn't matter! I can turn 300 Iron Ore into 8 fully compressed express belts!"

It almost feels like cheating the system, but Factorio makes you feel good about it since you have to pay the costs of producing these Modules beforehand. It is absolutely glorious

And Space Age will take this to its logical conclusion with Legendary Productivity Modules. Then it will drop down to just 240 needed (assuming you use Electric Furnaces and not the foundry of course).

Yeah, you could say i like being productive

The solar power seems much better at the cost of having another silo there, but that's not horrible right?

I’m playing through my very first play through and I’m starting to run out of mats near my starting area but can’t figure out for the life of me how to properly set up trains with my jank ass base. Any ideas or strategies to learn how to properly use trains?

So ultracube is my first mod ever. I love how the progression makes yo built something and 4 techo later it gives you a better recipe for something that forces you to redesign your base and your circuit network.

Oh about the circuit network, I only use it before for oil cracking and chest limits... this mod makes you learn a bit more about circuits which was awesome.

Now I'm only using my 2nd science at 11hrs deep and still have like 20 more researchs until the 3rd science is available.

But the thing I love the most about it is how is making me build spaghetti for a quick fix and not making the same base I made in vanilla 50 times
