I sometimes dream too of the scenario of landing in some distant planet too far away from earth to ever dreaming going back with nothing but some machines and maybe an AI assistant. It's a very fascinating idea, also terrifying, extreme loneliness can quickly bring someone to madness,but somehow I ...

I've just realized that Factorio may mean more to me than I thought. I'm 23, I am a loner. I don't require typical social interactions in my life, yet I need love like anyone else. I had some relationships, but none of them lasted very long. It's hard, especially when you struggle with social anxiet...

It would be nice to have "production score" implemented in single player. This would be a nice measure of factory progression in-game.

I noticed, I just hope that experimental 0.16.16 is stable enough to play comfortably

Config.ini has a setting for it (that's disabled by default). ; Options: none, fast, maximum ; autosave-compression-level=fast I doubt you'll see much improvement in savetimes though unless you have some weird edgecase like a huge map on a really fast SSD but slow CPU. How long does saving take for...

Hello, I have a question. Is it possible to disable save compression entirely? I don't mind bigger saves, I have a lot of space on my HDD. I've heard that compression takes most of the time in saving the game. I know that in WinRAR you can select no compression at all (which is the fastest). I still...

I don't like both of those ideas: - To remove worker robot item size research - To increase recharge time But it would be fine to: - Increase bots power consumption (with nuclear power plants it doesn't bother me and you could get the feeling that powerful solutions like bots require a lot of power)...

I don't know if anyone got to the same conclusions I did, but there is no need to change logistic bots mechanics. The bots are good for rapid factory expansion, but they come at a cost. Bots require more computational power than belts and this is the reason you won't be able to build the biggest fac...

2017-05-16 17:47 (40 hours of playing):

18 rockets launched so far:

Unfortunately, I'm suffering from surfeit of playing Factorio. I don't know, if I'll progress further anytime soon.

2017-05-07 05:39 (38 hours of playing): The first rocket has beed launched and this is my rocket part's factory: https://s19.postimg.org/gm9e85pj7/2017-05-07_1.jpg I have also expanded the power plant to 2GW and I already need another expansion. The current goals are: - More rockets - More power - ...

2017-05-03 09:29 (36 hours of playing): This is my store: https://s19.postimg.org/jg5lvgd4z/2017-05-03_1.jpg Only basic items are replicated, but it's still using enormous amounts of energy. I will replicate more advanced items, when I get power from satellites. The current goal: - Start making and...

Nice! I've launched the rocket in my game in a little over 28 hours in game. My approach was very different, not only because I used factorissimo with it. I calculated that making an item directly with replicators costs more energy than creating the ingredients, so I had copper/iron/steel smelting ...

2017-04-29 11:48 (28 hours of playing): My armor modules: https://s19.postimg.org/g4j91vts3/2017-04-29_2.jpg The expanded power plant. Nominal power - 1009,8 MW: https://s19.postimg.org/c9fuzbamb/2017-04-29_3.jpg The final replication and regular labs: https://s19.postimg.org/6mji1u83n/2017-04-29_4...

2017-04-21 05:01 (16 hours of playing): I have cleared all the water, done some research and expanded the power plant. The nominal power is 306 MW (600 steam generators): https://s19.postimg.org/ghprbviir/2017-04-21_1.jpg The current goals are: - To create power armor mk2, 6 exoskeletons, 2 portabl...

2017-04-18 04:23 (8 hours of playing): The replication lab: https://s19.postimg.org/5wiaiz1j7/2017-04-18_2.jpg The factory is VERY power hungry, this is my power plant, the nominal power is 91,8 MW: https://s19.postimg.org/h7ky7c8eb/2017-04-18_1.jpg The goals are: - To clear all water - To complete...

There is no need for such control mechanism. Once the power plant gets big enough, there will be no way to stop it, unless power satisfaction will be like only 50% or so for replicators to produce not enough solid fuel. That would cause chain reaction. Low power satisfaction -> Low solid fuel replic...

I just realised I do need waterwell mod also because making 5 water in 5.5 seconds for 400kW is just to expensive :) Yes, I wanted to replicate water too, but then realised how much is needed for power plant. There is a funny thing though. I must be careful not to stop power plants, because, when I...

- Start replicating solid fuel, cause coal is inefficient (For 1MW of generated power, 250kW goes for coal replication). Coal has 75% efficiency and solid fuel has 87.5% efficiency. How did you get those numbers? I see a simple replicator can make coal. Recipe time is 2.5 seconds and crafting speed...

2017-04-16 02:22 (3 hours of playing): This is my factory for now, it's a mess, but i'm trying to do some necessary research before I expand: https://s19.postimg.org/9gh3b9air/2017-04-16_1.jpg Right now the goals are: - Start replicating solid fuel, cause coal is inefficient (For 1MW of generated p...

This is my second attempt at building the biggest factory, my computer can handle. I'm running Factorio in version - 0.14.22 The list of mods, I'm using: 1. Advanced Logistics System 2. Black Market 3. Crafting Speed Research 4. Dark Matter Replicators 5. EvoGUI 6. Expanded Robot Technology 7. Fusio...
