hi today i really happy when i see this mod, but when i wanted to balance content i warehouses using cables i cant. Probably you delete this ... Can you only add this to this awesome mod ?

Theory is that requester chest rework is causing the issue. (Wube added interactions between requester & buffer chests. Warehousing doesn't have buffer warehouses yet, but it shouldn't matter.)

I've been doing some thinking of the balancing of warehouses. Here are my findings after some playtesting:

Current:

Warehousing: 40xSP1, 20s
Logistics Warehousing: 2x(25xSP1+SP2),25xSP1
Storehouse: 5x Wooden Chest, 10x Stone Bricks, 40x Iron Plate, 20x Steel plate
Warehouse: 60x Steel Plate, 100x Iron Plate, 25x Stone Brick, 10x Wooden Chest

Proposed:

Warehousing: 50xSP1+SP2, 20s
Logistics Warehousing: 50xSP1+SP2+SP3, 30s. Drop the "Construction robotics" tech requirement.
Storehouse: 10x Wooden Chest, 10x Stone Bricks, 20x Iron Plate, 20x Steel Plate
Warehouse: 10x Steel Chest, 20x Steel Plate. 20x Stone Brick, 40x Iron Plate

Additional comments:

Steel Chests have a steel requirement of 8x per, so this brings Warehouse up to 100 Steel required. By doing so, we can lower the number of raw iron required. 25x Stone Bricks is an odd number to work with, lowering it to only 2x that of Storehouse makes more sense.

On the science aspect, Logistics Warehousing works completely differently than most every other tech in the game so we bring it in line with the rest without making it harder. I'm also dropping the Construction robotics requirement simply because it doesn't fit. Warehousing requirements on the other hand are far too low for their need; a warehouse is at the very least a mid-game feature, so we move it inline with midgame tech (Fluid Handling is a good one to model on, however Warehousing is less daunting than Fluid Handling so it's slightly lower).

On logistics warehousing 📦

The logistics storehouses are completely redundant given the presence of logistics warehouses (similar as to why there's no networked wooden/iron chest). IMHO, Storehouses as a whole already feel quite redundant; I would probably brainstorm something like upgrades to Warehouse 2, 3... etc through additional techs.

However, after thinking about it a lot, I actually dislike the presence of logistics warehouses themselves. I'm already fairly unhappy with the way Factorio handles the multiplicity of chest logistics; I would much have a single smart chest and be able to program it to provide/request as needed. Similarly, it feels extremely odd to have to craft an additional item on top of the warehouse in order to connect it to the network. A warehouse is a building, shouldn't it be easy to "connect" it?!

The way I would do it is by turning the Logistics Warehousing tech into giving the passive bonus of being able to choose to connect Warehouses to the logistics network, and choose how, rather than craft singular warehouses. The logistics network imho needs work but hey, that's not your problem :)

So in a model like that, the "Warehouse 2", "Warehouse 3" model makes a lot of sense. Warehouse 1 is your Storehouse, Warehouse 2 is your Warehouse, and Warehouse 3 is your storage warehouse (I find it really excessive, but this is a mod after all). Any of these can be connected.

Thoughts?

Version 0.15 is currently on advance stage.
is it possible to update the mod to 0.15

Thanks

• Renamed logistic-container prototype property 'logistic_slots_count' to 'max_logistic_slots' [#83]
• Base game technology icons now use 4 mipmaps and icon size 256 instead of icon size 128 and no mipmaps

Hi i upscaled and tweaked pictures and also modified you mod to use my new HR sprites. I do not want to be selfish, so i sharing this with you. Use if you want
entity.zip
If you can credit me in changelog for my hard work

With 1.1 wube added "Enderchests", or "linked chest" as they named it.

Would it be possible to get an "Enderwarehouse"?
Possibly not reseachable/constructable, but still there so it could be used in editor-mode?

Its defined here: ./data/base/prototypes/entity/entities.lua:15766:linked_chest.name = "linked-chest"

The warehouse/storehouse items sort kind of willy-nilly in the crafting menu at the moment. Some of them are grouped together with the corresponding logistic chest types, some are separated. It bothers me sometimes when trying to find the right button when setting an assembling machine's recipe…

I'm not sure if its a direct cause of warehouse mod, but there's a bug where this mod causes control clicking to not work to load stuff in 0.16

This ticket began as a simple "re-export the sprites in higher resolution" idea, and has evolved over nearly 9 months to become quite complicated. Here's a reasonably concise list of what we actually want to do, based on changes from Factorio 0.17 so far (as of 0.17.29) and plans revealed in recent FFF posts:

• Redesign buildings to better fit new HD style used by Wube (especially chests, per FFF 283) [#88]
  • Add robot pick-up/drop-off animations to the logistic warehouses/storehouses (also FFF 283) [#88]
    • Factorio 0.17.5 added a LogisticContainerPrototype::landing_location_offset property to control where robots dock, upon our request, which means our new buildings won't be constrained to putting the robot docking hatch in the center
• Overhaul icons to match [#88]
  • High resolution item icons
    • At least bump to 64x64 per FFF 277 [#88]
    • Multiple icon resolutions with simplified designs at smaller sizes [#88]
      • Factorio itself will likely use a mix of two approaches, based on FFF 290 and FFF 291
      • We should simply use whichever gives us the best results for our icons
  • Technology icons to match base game techs as of Factorio 1.1: [#88]
    • "Base game technology icons now use 4 mipmaps and icon size 256 instead of icon size 128 and no mipmaps"
    • Moved here from #82, as despite being posted in the "breaking changes" forum thread it doesn't break us
  • Make it easier to tell which entity icon is which at-a-glance (per mod portal feedback indicating that the current icon sizes are easily confused) [#88]
    • Especially important if we decide to integrate "Small" and "Tiny" warehouses as proposed by @JDOGG88 in #68—there would then be at least six different icons to distinguish
• Apply look-up tables (LUTs) to sprites/icons? (FFF 320)
  • NAK; #88's new graphics were created long after the base game color tweaks, and should just match without needing to apply any LUTs
• Make thumbnail.png for the mod portal/GUI [#88]
  • Technically already done in dbf6e7c, but the current demo map/screenshot will need to be tweaked/regenerated after the rest of this list is finished

Original issue description from mid-2018 follows.

It would be nice to launch high-resolution sprites along with, or shortly after, Factorio 0.17's release. Warehousing will need to be updated anyway, and that update might as well come with a nice bonus. (Wube will no doubt upgrade a number of base-game entities to HD, as they have in past major updates, so Warehousing would really just be joining the party. 😸)

@Nova-Kast I'm assigning this issue to you because you're the only one who can actually generate new images. (If you want to do #32 properly at the same time, that would be fine too. 😁)

Hi,
when i try to launch factorio this error is thrown:
"Failes to load mod "Warehousing": Mod Warehousing version {{VERSION}} not matching pattern "Major.Middle.Minor""

Playing on a dedicated server hosted Factorio with following mods:
Bob's pack v0.12.17 (i think)
Warehousing v0.0.6
rso v1.5.1
SmartSplitters v0.12.17
SmartTrains v0.3.80
tanks for bob v1.3.2
gravestone v1.0.3
evoGUI v0.4.15

When one of the other players opens the Storage warehouse (with 2000 slots), it causes lag for the rest of us. Is some information actually transferred to other players, or is his computer just slow?

Factorio 0.15 was updated some time ago to have all technologies in the base research tree require equal numbers of each science pack consumed.

Warehousing currently (still) uses 2x SP1, 2x SP2, 1x SP3, & 1x Prod for the logistic warehouse research. The science pack requirements for this technology should be updated to align with base. (Probably to be done in combination with #19, to avoid rebalancing research twice in short order.)

Attempting to make a massive Green Circuit farm how ever i cant get anywhere near peak efficiency due to power issue.
outside factory power satisfation im making around 50ghz alown with 50 ghz extra accumulator storage. so outside satisfaction is hardly used.
Screenshots bellow I would love to see full power passthrough if possible. or at least be able to hook up extra lines to the factories to select how you want your power to be split up.

Do you plan to add any bigger warehouse? Cuz I keep running into the issue of building huge setup of warehouses to store all my crap.

I updated the Chinese translation on crowdin, pls update the mod.

Factorio 0.16 introduced a Buffer logistic chest type, which combines the functionality of a requester and a passive provider. Warehousing mod should have a corresponding warehouse and storehouse.

Will require at least edited versions of the existing graphics so the item and entity have the correct accent color. @Anoyomouse, can you contact the creators of the existing graphics to see if they will 1) contribute buffer variants themselves, 2) give permission for me (probably) to make a quick edit to their existing graphics with the new color, and/or 3) provide the PSD/XCF/etc. project files?

This is basically a QOL mod for my now. Requirement lolol. Just checking if this project is still worked on?

Please check the attached zip file.

Crafting the storehouse and warehouse in assemblers (only tested on mk3) allow a high number of components to be stored within them that are not required.

as an example, the assemlber will normally only hold enough materials to craft a few of the output, the assemblers are holding a stack of 400 iron for the warehouse and storehouse, this could be lowered

Base-game storage chests gained a "Logistic filter" GUI to set the preferred item to be stored in that chest. The modded entities don't get this GUI. It's probably something trivial that I missed due to looking into it at 2am. (And I didn't think to test it before releasing 0.1.1, bad @dgw!)

On current 0.1.0 release cfan does not know its actually 0.16 compatible.

so i had a storage warehouse with the parts of my deconstructed base but now as i try to rebuild the items are disappearing from the warehouse. I watched the items trickle down into something that doesn't exist.

Factorio version 0.17.43
Warehousing version 0.2.3

Worked fine on earlier versions. Today, when starting the game I get the error loading mods:

Failed to load mods: Closing file Warehousing/graphics/entity/warehouse-buffer.png failed (-105): Warehousing/graphics/entity/warehouse-buffer.png

Two storehouses fit perfectly in between train cargo wagons, but do not share goods and a 6x6 warehouse is sometimes to big to fit in compact factory designs.
I think a 6x3 rotatable storehouse with 350 slots would fill the gap perfectly.

Hi,

is it possible to get some "hybrid warehouses", like "requester+storage" and "requester+passive"?

like the one from https://github.com/Phenix0cs/Smarter-chests but not only the requester+storage combination?

Thank you!

A recent post on the Factorio forums got me thinking again about warehouse capacities.

I don't get the purpose of the mod. Why wouldn't I just make three rows of six steel/provider chests instead of a warehouse? It's more storage by 64 slots. Am I missing some important feature?

— DarkZalgo

Some time ago (long before getting involved, around when I just found the mod) I did the math to figure out which warehouses were actually more space-efficient than the equivalent area filled with steel chests. In my Factorio career, steel chests have always been 48 slots. I don't believe they've ever changed capacity (the only changelog note on Factorio's wiki is that steel chests became connectable to the circuit network in 0.13). The math then showed that only the Storage warehouse/storehouse is actually more efficient, and that hasn't changed.

For reference, the current chest/storehouse/warehouse space comparison goes like this:

Both @Anoyomouse and I (@dgw) think rebalancing the warehouse capacities is due, but we differ on details. (I'm going to write "warehouses" to refer to both warehouses and storehouses below for brevity.)

@Anoyomouse reasons that warehouses should remain slightly less efficient than chests because of the "warehouse logic" you gain by building big warehouses.

@dgw reasons that warehouses should store more in the same area than steel chests because warehouses are probably taller than chests. Even if they're about the same height, they should still gain a space advantage because they leave out the chest walls in between the inner tiles.

Whatever the final numbers are, the item recipes will need rebalancing at the same time to keep them in line with the entity capacities. This is probably best done in conjunction with #19 as well, which also brings up rebalancing the recipes.

Hi!

Now that Logistics is behind yellow science, I think Logistics Warehousing should not require it to be researched first.

Use case: Using storage and passive provider warehouses before Logistics is researched.

I don't think it should require purple science either, but that's another discussion.

I would love to make warehouse capacity upgradable with research. Like a "building storage bonus" that adds a fixed number of extra slots, or a percentage, to all buildings.

Unfortunately, Warehousing's buildings are just big reskinned chests, and chests' slot counts are fixed in the prototype definitions at startup (not changeable at runtime).

This goes in the new "Wishlist" category of stuff that would be cool, but isn't possible (yet?).

A poor man's version of this could be implemented with different item/entity tiers and fast-replace, but it would be a really clunky experience.
