Fluid wagon

2025-01-10T10:40:28Z

MelonDevil: /* Load and unload times */ changed confusing table description

{{Languages}}{{:Infobox:Fluid wagon}}
The '''fluid wagon''', also known as the '''rail tanker''', is capable of transporting [[fluid system|fluids]] by [[rail]]. Fluids can be pumped in and out of the wagon using a [[pump]], each fluid wagon can have a maximum of 3 pumps attached at one time, 1 per tank section.
Similar to [[cargo wagon]]s, a [[locomotive]] is required to move the liquid wagon.

The fluid wagon can carry 50,000 units of fluid. It weighs the same of the regular cargo wagon but holds more fluid; a cargo wagon filled with [[barrel]]s can carry 20,000 units of fluid.

== 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 a [[train stop]] as a [[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.

== Load and unload times ==
Using more [[pump]]s per wagon reduces (un)loading time. Pump [[quality]]{{SA}} affects pumping speed.

* 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.}}

Efficiency module 3

2024-11-15T10:59:59Z

MelonDevil: added that they reduce biochamber nutrient-consumption

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Efficiency module 3}}

'''Efficiency module 3''' reduces the electricity cost to run the machine by 50% of its base energy usage. 
They also reduce the [[Nutrients|nutrient]]{{SA}} consumption of the [[Biochamber|biochamber]]{{SA}}.

Note that minimal energy usage is 20% of base energy usage, but using more than 80% worth of efficiency modules makes sense if other modules are used, as they increase power usage and that effect is additive with the decrease from efficiency modules.

Efficiency modules also reduce pollution, because it is directly proportional to the machine's power consumption, see [[Pollution#Modules|pollution]].

== History ==
{{History|2.0.7|
* Changed all module-3 recipe to require only 4 (instead of 5) module-2 ingredients.
}}

{{history|0.13.0|
* Blueprints support modules.}}

{{history|0.7.0|
* Pollution mechanic introduced.}}

{{history|0.6.0|
* Introduced}}

Oh is that a script to automaticly create infoboxes for items from the gamefiles or api thingy?

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)

== 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?

::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

== Wrong link ==
On the Community-spitter there is a mistake, it says "ink=" so there ist missing the letter "l" to set no link. As I'm just a normal user I'm not allowed to fix this, so somebody else has to do this. -- [[User:RobbiRobb|RobbiRobb]] ([[User talk:RobbiRobb|talk]]) 13:45, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

== Items and Recipes (Are they the same or different?) ==

I think the heading label "Items and Recipes" should be a link to the Items page ([https://wiki.factorio.com/Items]). Also, either "Recipes" needs to redirect to that page or it needs its own. Personally, I think "Recipes" and "Items" are functionally the same from a user standpoint, so I would use a redirect. For obvious (and good!) reasons, I cannot make the link edit myself. As for the redirect, I will wait for an OK from an admin, primarily so they don't have to delete it.

--[[User:Sonicthe|Sonicthe]] ([[User talk:Sonicthe|talk]]) 17:56, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
: Items and recipes are very different things, since the one is produced by the other. The icons that are currently shown on the main page and on [[items]] are items, fluids and recipes. This makes both the main page heading and the items page somewhat misleading. It may be better to find heading that fits properly and move all the content there (e.g. "Materials and recipes"). Could you explain why we need a recipes page/redirect? I'd also like to hear your reasoning for linking to the items page from the main page, since it contains a direct subset of the main page content. -- [[User:Bilka|Bilka]] ([[User talk:Bilka|talk]]) - Admin 08:33, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

:: To respond in reverse order of your questions, maybe a better question is "Why is there an items page?" rather than having the search result in the bottom of the main page. I like your idea of renaming the section, although if an infobox appeared on mouse-over (like on the right-hand side of the page, NOT alt-text/tooltip) with just the Normal recipe for the highlighted item (which would be really cool, but a pain to do!) the "Items and Recipes" would make sense. You would have icons for items and a box with the corresponding recipe in it. I'm not suggesting putting all of the information contained on the individual item pages here (duplicating work is silly), and it's not something I expect to see any time soon (if ever). It would just be cool.

:: And perhaps it would be better to change the section on the main page to a link to [[items]] and provide the recipe infobox (or not) there instead. I assumed there was a reason to have the entire set of icons on the main page, but maybe that assumption is false.

:: My reasoning for a "Recipe" redirect is as much error trapping as anything else. Searching for "Items" returns [[items]], but searching for "Recipes" returns a generic search results page. While I agree that you and I know there is a real difference between an item and a recipe, I'm not sure the average user will really understand (or care about!) that distinction, especially after release. Ultimately, I guess the real question is what you think the average user is looking for when they search for "Recipes" vs. "Items". That's it. A simple page that describes what a recipe is and has a link to [[items]] would be better if you think the distinction is important. Or a single page with every recipe on it might be something to think about. Which one depends on your opinion, I think.

:: As something of a side note, I mention the infobox idea because the first time I used the wiki, that's kind of what I was looking for. I wanted just the recipes for several items, and having to click each one, and then back, and then the next, and back, and so on is a pain. At the time, I wasn't looking for all the other information that each page contained, just the ingredients I needed to make each item. I realize that all of this information is available in-game and on individual pages here, which is why I would call it "Nice to have" and "Cool" but not "High priority" or even "Medium priority," and certainly not "Needed." And I think a "Recipes" page with all the recipes listed might be better (and definitely easier) than a changing infobox. -- [[User:Sonicthe|Sonicthe]] ([[User talk:Sonicthe|talk]]) 18:43, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

::: Good question :) The 'real' reason is that the page existed when I started on the wiki, so it keep existing even as most of its content moved to other pages. I would not remove it now, because sometimes having an external link to just the crafting overview is great and the main page does not work very well for that. I like your idea with the infoboxes, it should be doable.

::: Having all items/recipes/fluids on the main page is a great entry-point for the wiki, so I think it will stay there unless an even better way to display all items/recipes/fluids is found.

::: I think you have a good point with the search. We even used have a "liquid" redirect going to the "fluid system" page (which I deleted at some point), which in the same search term 'group' as "recipes" and "items". I have an idea how to solve the naming problem: Move the current "items" to "materials and recipes". Redirect "recipes" and "items" to "materials and recipes" and also link there from the main page. Redirect "fluids" to "fluid system" or make it a disambiguation page linking both "fluid system" and "material and recipes". What do you think about this?

::: Just wanting the recipes is a common theme. We have had the idea to make the tooltips of the item icons list their recipes for a pretty long time now, however, I think your infobox idea is better and may also be easier to implement. However, currently just getting the wiki up-to-date for 1.0 is taking priority over extra features.

::: Thank you for detailed feedback, it is always useful to hear such a well reasoned opinion about parts of the wiki. -- [[User:Bilka|Bilka]] ([[User talk:Bilka|talk]]) - Admin 11:48, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

:::: I like disambiguation pages in general because they always give me what I'm looking for and other related things, too. Anything that increases my knowledge and understanding is great! And I think "Materials and Recipes" more accurately captures what we are talking about than "Items" does, too.

:::: I would use whichever method is the easiest to implement, if you're thinking about doing it now. Especially with the focus appropriately on accuracy for 1.0. Personally, I would probably wait until after 1.0 regardless of which method is ultimately chosen. Accuracy should always be more important than features. Information that ''might'' be mislabeled or "hard to find" is much better than information that is '''wrong'''. I am about to start Graduate School, so unfortunately, I won't have time to do much myself. -- [[User:Sonicthe|Sonicthe]] ([[User talk:Sonicthe|talk]]) 18:16, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
::::: I have created the new organization that I suggested, I hope it works out. The further recipe details on the main page will be a future feature :) -- [[User:Bilka|Bilka]] ([[User talk:Bilka|talk]]) - Admin 10:36, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

== Adding other unofficial communities ==

Suggestion: Under the "Unofficial Communities" links, would it be appropriate to add more communities? Specifically, I would like to add a link to [https://alt-f4.blog/ Alt-F4] the community-driven blog. I have not been able to find previous discussions about this. --[[User:Sir Fendi|Sir Fendi]] ([[User talk:Sir Fendi|talk]]) 14:41, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
: Hey, we only link to unofficial communities that are also linked on the [https://factorio.com/ factorio.com main page] (section in the bottom right of the page). The Alt-F4 blog is not linked there. -- [[User:Bilka|Bilka]] ([[User talk:Bilka|talk]]) - Admin 15:34, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

== Update new content section ==

The New content section at the bottom of the page could probably use an update to add some of the features 1.1 has added to the game since the 1.0 release. -- [[User:SpeckledFleebeedoo|SpeckledFleebeedoo]] ([[User talk:SpeckledFleebeedoo|talk]]) 08:55, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
: I agree! You can edit the content of the box by changing [[Main Page/New content]]. -- [[User:Bilka|Bilka]] ([[User talk:Bilka|talk]]) - Admin 15:09, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
