'''Barrels''' can be used to store and transport 50 units of various fluids. Since they are solid objects, they can be used as an alternative to pipes, once [[Fluid handling]] is researched. The barrels themselves are reusable once the fluids are drained.

Barrels stack in groups of 10. A single [[Cargo wagon]] can hold 400 barrels, which gives a capacity of 20,000 units per Cargo wagon - 5,000 less units than the capacity of a fluid wagon.

== Empty Barrels ==
'''Empty Barrels''' can be crafted. When Barrels are emptied, the (required) [[Assembling machine]] will also return an Empty Barrel.

Fluid wagon

2017-12-30T16:00:45Z

Axios:

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Fluid wagon}}

The '''fluid wagon''', also known as the '''rail tanker''', is capable of transporting [[liquids]] by [[rail]]. Fluids can be pumped in and out of the wagon using a [[pump]].
Similar to [[cargo wagon]]s, a [[locomotive]] is required to move the liquid wagon.

The fluid wagon can carry 25,000 units of fluid. It weighs the same of the regular cargo wagon but holds more fluid; a cargo wagon filled with barrels can carry 20,000 units of fluid.

Until version 0.16, the fluid wagon consists of three tanks which can be disconnected from each other to form three separate tanks holding 25k units of fluid each.

== Troubleshooting ==
To get fluid into the fluid wagon, you need a [[Railway#Stations|train station]] with pumps.

The wagon needs to be aligned with the rail grid; do this by using the [[Automated rail transportation (research)|automated rail transportation]] [[train stop]]s as [[Railway#Train_schedule|train schedule]] destination, and a fueled locomotive.

Also make sure that the [[rail]]s under the Fluid wagon are '''straight rails''' and not '''curved rails'''. The pumps will only work if the wagon is perfectly orthogonal to the grid.

== History ==
{{History|0.16.8|
* Changed fluid wagon capacity from 75k to 25k (Same as storage tank).
* Lowered fluid wagon weight from 3000 to 1000 (same as cargo wagon).
* Changed fluid wagon recipe so it requires just 1 storage tank instead of 3.}}
{{History|0.16.7|
* Simplified to contain just 1 fluid instead of having 3 different fluid tanks}}
{{History|0.15.0|
* Introduced}}

Rail chain signal

2016-12-11T23:59:32Z

Axios: Adjusted link to signal blocks

{{:Rail chain signal/infobox}}

'''Rail chain signals''' are used for automated transportation on a [[railway network]]. With rail signals it is possible to use multiple trains on a single track.

== Basic ==
* The best prerequisite to understand chain signals is to understand [[Rail signal| signal blocks]].
* Rail chain signals are placed like block signals at the right side of a [[Railway#Rail Glossar|segment]].
* They work similar to pre-signals in OpenTTD.

== Definition ==
While normal signal prevents train from entering the occupied block, chain signal prevents train from entering the block also when the exit isn't free. When more exits exist, the one relevant to the train path is taken into account.

== Usage examples ==
'''Regular signal compared to a chain signal'''

With a regular signal, the block it guards is empty, so the train can go there.

[[File:Fff-81-regular-signals.jpg]]

Chain signal with one exit doesn't allow the train to enter the block, as the exit is occupied.

[[File:Fff-81-chain-signal-basic.jpg]]

'''Simple example with practical usage'''

The chain signal prevents the train from blocking the other route while waiting.

[[File:Fff-81-chain-signal-guards-crossroad.jpg]]

'''Double crossing'''

Double crossings are the cause of train jams often, as trains tend to get blocked in the middle of the crossing. It can even cause total deadlock, which require manual intervention to fix the problem. With chain signals, the non-blocking rails are still separated, but trains won't stay in the middle of the crossing.

[[File:Fff-81-double-crossroad.jpg]]

'''Deadlock prevention'''

One of the typical situation with train deadlock problem is the usage of single train line for both direction with occasional bypasses. The example of the blocked situation with regular signals.

[[File:Fff-81-train-deadlock.jpg]]

With chain signals, this problem can be totally avoided by preventing the train from going to the shared section unless it can exit it.

[[File:Fff-81-chain-signal-prevents-deadlock.jpg]]

== Advanced ==
Some good pictures are at the [http://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-81 Friday Facts #81] page.

* If the chain signal has only one exit, it doesn't allow the train to enter it's block, if the exit block (which has a [[Railway/Signal/Block signal|block signal]]) is occupied.
* If in the block of the chain signal is a crossing, trains that cross the block can pass it, because a train waits before the chain signal, if the exit block isn't free.
* If there are more than one chain signal blocks before a regular block, a train waits before the first chain signal if the regular block isn't free.

* If a chain signal switches to green, all exits are free.
* If it switches to blue, at least one exit is free.
* If it switches to red, no exit is free.
* If it switches to yellow, the block is reserved for a train and the signals of intersection blocks switch to red (like regular signal).

2016-12-07T11:41:02Z

Axios:

Factorio è un videogioco riguardante l'estrazione di risorse, la progettazione e la costruzione di fabbriche, automatizzazione della produzione e combattimento contro alieni nemici. Tu sei un sopravvissuto di una missione di colonizzazione spaziale andata storta, e ti ritrovi da solo sulla superficie di un pianeta alieno ostile. Senza nulla eccetto le rocce e i minerali grezzi sotto i tuoi piedi, la tua unica speranza di sopravvivenza è di costruire lentamente le tue macchine e industrie automatizzate da zero per produrre l'equipaggiamento e le difese necessarie alla sopravvivenza su questo mondo sconosciuto. Oltre che costruire e mantenere efficacemente la tua armata di macchine, dovrai proteggere la tua fabbrica e te stesso dalle orde di alieni nemici che non vogliono nient'altro che bruciare e saccheggiare le tue sudate costruzioni.

== Adding Languages ==

I'd like to see the other languages added to the Main Page. --[[User:Badg0n|Badg0n]] ([[User talk:Badg0n|talk]]) 14:25, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
:+1 --[[User:Bannert|Bannert]] ([[User talk:Bannert|talk]]) 11:32, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

==Main Page Overhaul==
The Wiki Page needs to be reorganized. It currently is a confusing mess and should be more organized for easier navigation. As i do not have access to edit this page i'll continue to add to other pages but i believe the real fixing of this WIKI would need to start at the root.
--[[User:ACryInShame|ACryInShame]] ([[User talk:ACryInShame|Talk]]) -12 Feb 2015 10:15 (EST) -5hr

:I read your forum-article and answered there http://factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=20029 [[User:Ssilk|Ssilk]] ([[User talk:Ssilk|talk]]) 17:18, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

==Adding Changelogs==
Shouldn't we add a changelog page and link it to the main one ?--[[User:Staxxy|Staxxy]] ([[User talk:Staxxy|talk]]) 22:53, 4 March 2013 (CET)
:It is actually linked on the main page as "Version History" under the "get the game" section. Not sure what the preference is on that name comparged to "Change Log". - [[User:BenWo|BenWo]] ([[User talk:BenWo|talk]]) 12:46, 16 May 2014 (CEST)

==Pages blueprint==
We would need to set up conventional presentations for pages depending of their topic.
For example, all pages covering weapons should be presented the same way, with the same organisation, ect...--[[User:Staxxy|Staxxy]] ([[User talk:Staxxy|talk]]) 23:14, 4 March 2013 (CET)
:I like this idea! We need standard templates for the big categories to make navigating easier. I'll certainly start work on this as time allows. [[User:BenWo|BenWo]] ([[User talk:BenWo|talk]]) 08:11, 15 May 2014 (CEST)
::Putting updates on my navbox work over on [[Talk:Wiki_To-do_List]] to save this for talk about the main page. - [[User:BenWo|BenWo]] ([[User talk:BenWo|talk]]) 12:35, 16 May 2014 (CEST)

==More content==

I started doing a bit of tweaking on the Main page over on [[User:BenWo/Main_Page]] to try and fit some more of these items. I've also moved all of the HTML off into some templates to keep it cleaner. Feel free to go over there and move bits around with whatever ideas you've got. :) - [[User:BenWo|BenWo]] ([[User talk:BenWo|talk]]) 12:44, 16 May 2014 (CEST)
:Moved over the new version of the Main page I worked on, cleaning up the source a ton using some templates. There's empty space in the center cell for the GUIDES section (see To-Do talk page, now linked in lower-right main page cell). Any suggestions or whatnot, please discuss!!

== "Before you play" ==

The main page has "Console" under "Before you play". I don't think it's appropriate for that section. --[[User:Glyph|Glyph]] ([[User talk:Glyph|talk]]) 15:27, 13 August 2014 (CEST)

: Fixed. You are allowed to make such changes. This is a wiki. :) [[User:Ssilk|Ssilk]] ([[User talk:Ssilk|talk]]) 23:40, 13 August 2014 (CEST)

:: Thanks! I am hesitant to edit the main page because I would start to move everything around and couldn't stop! --[[User:Glyph|Glyph]] ([[User talk:Glyph|talk]]) 09:55, 14 August 2014 (CEST)

::: There is the "restore previous version"-button. :) Currrently I think the amount of links to other pages has reached a limit, the lower, the better. [[User:Ssilk|Ssilk]] ([[User talk:Ssilk|talk]]) 19:39, 15 August 2014 (CEST)

== Contributors ==

Suggestion: Remove the contributors (currently only the translators) from the main page and move it to "Contributors"-page.

Anything against?
:Support - I indeed think this should not be on the main page, but also not on another page. A wiki is for people to work together, so everyone contributes to it, why only display a few names? [[User:TheWombatGuru|TheWombatGuru]] ([[User talk:TheWombatGuru|talk]]) 07:54, 29 August 2014 (CEST)
:: Indeed. I think removing the names is logical for a wiki, cause the changes can be seen in the history. I will put this into the forum, too and wait and if nobody has anything against I'll remove that... [[User:Ssilk|Ssilk]] ([[User talk:Ssilk|talk]]) 13:12, 31 August 2014 (CEST)
::: I made a change to this section, is this a good alternative? [[User:TheWombatGuru|TheWombatGuru]] ([[User talk:TheWombatGuru|talk]]) 00:14, 4 October 2014 (CEST)
:::: I think yes, but now I have a question — how is it works? And what should I do to insert local names of the languages to the list? E.g. Czech lang is "Чеська", English lang is "Англійська", French is "Французька", etc (by Ukrainian language). I was trying to use the new template in [[Main_Page/uk]] but the brackets after a language's self-name are empty... --[[User:Vitduo|Vitduo]] ([[User talk:Vitduo|talk]]) 16:16, 4 October 2014 (CEST)
::::: I saw you already figured out how, thanks for extending the template :) [[User:TheWombatGuru|TheWombatGuru]] ([[User talk:TheWombatGuru|talk]]) 16:35, 4 October 2014 (CEST)

== New "Around the game" introduced ==

I'm not so sure, if that was a good idea. My normal way would be to change it and then look at it in some days/weeks, but with more wikianers I could just ask. So maybe, this Main page gets a little bit to big now? If so, please make suggestions or change it. :) [[User:Ssilk|Ssilk]] ([[User talk:Ssilk|talk]]) 23:37, 18 October 2014 (CEST)
: I think it's good like this, good editing :) [[User:TheWombatGuru|TheWombatGuru]] ([[User talk:TheWombatGuru|talk]]) 00:50, 19 October 2014 (CEST)

== Old News Showing If Not Logged In ==

Users who are not logged in to the wiki are not seeing the latest news in the News block. You can confirm this by logging out and going to the [[Main Page]]. The latest piece of news visible is "Mar 18 FFF #130: Steam release side effects."

As soon as you log in, the current news from the [[News]] page is shown instead. Does anyone have any idea what needs to be fixed so that people aren't seeing out-of-date news?

--[[User:CyberPhantom|CyberPhantom]] ([[User talk:CyberPhantom|talk]]) 16:32, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

::For the admins: this looks like it's being caused by the MediaWiki file cache. This cache only applies to anonymous (not logged in) users. According to [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:File_cache#Expiration the MediaWiki documentation], running the [https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=purge purge action] should expire the cache and fix the problem. I tried that, and it didn't help. Maybe an admin needs to do it for it to work on the Main Page? Or maybe something else is preventing the file cache from clearing? --[[User:CyberPhantom|CyberPhantom]] ([[User talk:CyberPhantom|talk]])

== Change icons' image file names ==

Change icons' image file names from "fast-inserter.png" to "Fast inserter icon.png". (for obvious reasons)

Steps:
* This topic gets 5 +1 (so it's approved)
* Generate the renamed files (already done [https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B86I6c-Ld37oWjUtaGlGU1padVU]) and upload
* Change the code at the [[Template:Icon]] (I can make it backward compatible)
* Done

== Link to preorderpage no more active http://www.factorio.com/preorder ==

Should be changed to http://www.factorio.com

Efficiency module

2016-12-07T11:00:25Z

Axios: Refreshed infobox

{{Languages}}
{{:Efficiency_module/infobox}}

The efficiency module reduces the cost of electricity to run the machine. Note that minimal energy usage is 20% of base energy usage, to prevent the machine's running being free.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Module!! [[Electric system|Energy]] consumption
|-
| {{icon|effectivity-module||Efficiency module 1}} || -30%
|-
| {{icon|effectivity-module-2||Efficiency module 2}} || -40%
|-
| {{icon|effectivity-module-3||Efficiency module 3}} || -50%
|-
|}

Advantages & Disadvantages:

* <span style="color:#00BB00"> Reduces energy cost per cycle. </span>
* No downsides
