Middle manager: Grammar changes for consistency

This page is used for contributors on this wiki.

== Get an account ==

Just follow the instructions for registering. It takes normally one or two days to be added, because every user is added by hand to avoid spam.

== How to contribute? ==

This wiki is the work of a team. The wiki is created in an agile process: If someone asks something in the forum, it's a good idea to add it into the forum. No special knowledge is needed for that, just write and if it is ok, it isn't deleted :)

But eventually it will be changed or removed by others.

Don't be afraid: There is nothing, which you can really break, because the wiki has a version history.

== Basic ==
* Read the wiki pages.
** If you don't like something, change it.
** If you find typos, change it.
** If you find something is wrong described, make a prove, that it is wrong and change it.

== Advanced ==

* Add missing information at the right place.
: This is in most cases easy, but sometimes could be really difficult. Ask for help if you don't know.

* Split the information on big pages into subpages.
: See for example the [[Railway network]].

* If you find that a topic belongs to two pages, then don't copy the information into the two pages, but create a new page and link.
: Best example for this is the [[Power Production]] page.

* Take the right words.
: Factorio has a set of words, which have a fixed meaning. For example: an entity can be mined, an item can be picked up. Removing them means something different! Ask the factorio wiki, if you are unsure.

* A picture says more than 1000 words.
: Make pictures, if possible. In some case use GIFs! See down.

* You can also go to the [[Wiki To-do List]] and look, if there is a job you like.

== Discussions ==

I (ssilk) prefer the forum for discussions and I hope this is not a problem, because I think, discussions on wiki-pages is to high-end for most potential wiki-writers.

=== Existing discussions ===

In the descending order of date:

== Translations ==

'''This is currently a mess!'''

=== This is how it should work ===

This method is used by the Mediawiki-Team and we want to adapt it:

==== First some rules ====
* The default language is English.
* Any other language has no right to obtain a pagename, which collides with English.
* No other language has the right to use a pagename, which means the same or something different in another language.

==== This is the logical consequence of the above rules ====

* Let's say we have a page named [[Transport network]].
* Now someone translate that page to German: Because he doesn't know better, he names the page "[[Transport netzwerk]]".
* This is a mess! Because for example in Swedish (it's just an example) this is also the translated pagename.
* What's now right? Is [[Transport netzwerk]] now a German or a Swedish page?

==== Solution to this ====

The right pagename is [[Transport network/de]] for the German and [[Transport network/sv]] for the Swedish page.

Whuuaaaa... "Transport network" - that's not German!

''Yes, but it is the only way to keep the namespace clean.''

And there is nothing about making a redirect page [[Transport netzwerk]] which redirects to [[Transport network/de]]. Or make a page where the user can choose if he wants the German or Swedish page.

=== So what do I need to do now? ===

* If you want to translate a page, then do not rename the page, just add a "/" and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes standard macro-language-code] to the pagename.
: "Inserters" becomes "Inserters/fr" for France, "Inserters/ru" for Russian etc.
* If you are working on a page, which has a translated pagename then rename (Move) it! Search the orginal pagename, add the language-code (see above) and move it to the new pagename. A redirect is automatically left for the old pagename!

(More to explain, language macro, see main-page at top right)

== Pictures ==

=== Making pictures out of the game ===

Do's:

* Take pictures at day! [[Lua/Game#alwaysday|Turn on daylight]]! Use night or dawn only, if needed to explain something.
* Use god mode! [[Lua/Player#controllertype]]. You can go to every place and don't stand in the way of the picture.
* You can [[Lua/Game#speed|slowdown the game]] to find the right moment for the picture.
* You can use also the [[Lua/Game#peacefulmode]], to be not disturbed by the natives.
* You can stop the game in the right moment using SHIFT-SPACE key. That also blends the grid in.
* Learn how to use the [[Debug mode]] to add relevant information into this picture.
* Go into the highest zoom level you possibly can, without missing any vital information.

Dont's

* Don't make pictures of ultra-complicated stuff! Add only as much elements, which are needed to understand, how that might work.
* Don't just take a screenshot. Try to remove all unneeded informations from the picture.
* Try not to make a photo with the character, except if to should show something; then face the character to it.

See http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2472 for more.

=== Optimizing the picture before upload ===

* Cut as much as possible/nice.
* Resolution should not normally be higher than 800x800 px.
* ''Do not add textual information into the pictures! ''Instead add numbers or letters in it and add the text on the wiki-page; otherwise, it isn't searchable information.
* Sharpen the pictures. For the wiki it looks quite better to sharpen the pictures one ore two times.

=== Making animations ===

This has to be tested a bit:

: [http://www.cockos.com/licecap/ Licecap] (also for Mac)

Inserters

2014-06-05T10:56:47Z

Middle manager: /* Insertion Limits */

{{sublinks|Transport network}}
Inserters are the fundamental structures of a factory, and are a vital component in almost all contraptions. They look and work like a robot-arm and take items from behind and place them in front of it, if the object in front of it has enough space to accomodate for it.

Inserters will:
* Pick up [[Items]] off the [[Ground]], off a [[Transport belts|Transport belt]], or from any object that has [[Storages/Stack|stacks]] (eg. [[Storages/Chests]], [[Furnace]]s, [[Assembling machine]]s)
* Place the moved item onto the ground, on a transport belt, or into any object that has stacks.
[[File:inserter.jpg|350px]]

=== Inserter mechanics ===
Inserters will act differently depending on what they are moving items to/into so as not to monopolize all of the items being picked up and allow other machines and inserters on the same transport belt to have items.

=== Insertion Limits ===
Inserters will not insert into certain buildings if they already have, or are above of, a certain amount of items; it will simply seize to function until space has been made, and it will resume insertion. It's not possible for a inserter to overfill, or spill, items.

For example, if a boiler has 5 pieces of fuel in it, then an inserter will not insert additional fuel until it has 4 or less.

* [[Boiler]]s, [[Burner inserter]]s and [[Furnace]]s will not accept more than 5 x [[Fuel]].
* [[Gun turret]]s will not accept more than 10 x [[Magazine]] (since v0.8.4).
* [[Assembling machine]]s: will not accept more than twice the items needed in the recipe.
* [[Lab]]s: will not accept more than twice the items needed for one research point.
* For smelting, [[Furnace]]s have the same limits as assemblers. Example: no more than 10 x [[Iron plate]] is accepted for smelting into [[Steel plate]].

=== Placing ===
*Transport belts: Inserters will always place the item on the further lane.
* [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3920 for orthogonal belts, inserter place items in the direction of their rotation]. This is by default up for horizontal or left for vertical placed inserters. When taking from a belt, they can change sometimes this direction!
