Storage

g Thanks for the mod

5 years ago

Just wanted to say thanks for the mod, It's absolutely fantastic to have a massive storage place like this, it should've been included in vanilla... after all, what sort of industrial complex is missing a huge storage place like a warehouse???

I think it's fairly balanced... it requires a few research but not too much, requires quite a bit of resources but not too much or too complex, has a smaller, cheaper version... but one thing I realized is that you can sort of ''cheat'' to just put a whole bunch of inserters in/out for the warehouse. You dump a ton of random materials inside the warehouse, and you got plenty of space to put inserters (not filter) to directly place items into assembling machines. Since inserters automatically grab whatever item they need. Then, another inserter to put the item back into the warehouse. So potentially you can make level 1/2 (red/green) science packs without ANY belts or chests... just put the warehouse at tne end of the smelting pile (for iron/copper plates) then put assembling machines all around it. The huge drawback is that once you are missing one ingredient... there's nothing to stop the other assembling machines from making a trillion of their own items like cogs. The warehouse is near limitless after all. So my question is... how would you stop this? I saw some guy have a mod for trains that let him set specific limits to train wagons... for example, it would only allow 3 inventory spaces of green circuit boards to be placed, then 6 reds etc.

Personally I wouldn't use the logistics network thing because that's borderline cheating. It makes things way too easy. The player should solve the problem ''how to get from A to B''. But one of the warehouses, the yellow one had 2000 storage... is that intended? The normal one has 1800 storage. I forgot its name, sorry.

Filtering slots of train wagons is a vanilla feature, no mod needed.

Storage warehouses have a higher capacity on purpose, yes.
