Actually you can do this even without circuits. Plant plants manually at desirable time interval and tower will gather and plant them as they grow. Do not want to do manual work? Then setup circuits timers to turn tower on/off at desired interval. Also you may read number of fruits on belt, which ...

basic factory cost for Electronic Cricuit is 280ore, while Bioflux is 3Egg+462.5ore
LoL. Then Vulcanus is a god of difficulty, because by your brilliant method you need to add cost of 4 foundries. Do not forget to add cost of whole oil setup, necessary to get lubricant for crafting these foundries ...

1F=6jelly(with biochamber)=15% iron ore(with biochamber), 1/0.15 ~=6.67 , that is 6.67F pre ore, How you get that 0.26F?
This is recipe to kickstart iron bacteria production in case it was stopped by whatever reason. Once you have got your first bacteria, you stop this recipe and switch to main ...

In gleba , it is better to just use Fruit(F) as unit, in vanilla so it is 15F->Iron Ore, it is really terrible, Bioflux aka LDS of Gleba is just 2.5F ! so I thoughtit 2.5F will be a much fair price .

What? In vanilla without modules it costs 0.26 fruit per iron ore and 1.21 fruit per bioflux ...

Presets are for novice players. If some veteran player needs more challenge then he can adjust sliders manually, use mods, do speedrun, etc.

I've already given them; earlier unlock, simpler to set up, no need for interplanetary supply lines, self-contained on Nauvis, can easily be integrated into existing tech tree.

earlier unlock - earlier than what? The recipes "nutrients from spoilage" and "nutrients from bioflux" work on Nauvis ...

finally fixing Gleba's biggest problem.

Biggest problem with Gleba are players, doing their first SA run. And I do not see how your suggestion can fix it. Gleba already has the best prizes of three planets. Adding one more, especially so minor one, will not change anything.

Right now ...

That is highly flawed logic. By that thinking, players have to set up a production chain to fuel smelters with coal and ore, so alternative production methods (Foundries, Electric Furnaces) are unnecessary and should be removed so players don't feel they have to dismantle their chain.

But that ...

Because that is the extreme end-game, this would be able to be usable far earlier.
You can’t access it before handling Gleba. At the same time, you also need to set up a production chain for biolabs and Production Modules 3, both of which require biter eggs. Knowing that eggs are necessary for ...

there is no production chain of Nutrients on Nauvis innately, you either recycle Biter Eggs or Fish, and both require player input and undermine what I feel is a core theme of Gleba's researches - sustainability
Recycle biter egg? You definitely should learn recipes before making suggestions ...

Where exactly is ".local/share/applications/"? and how do you create "factorio.desktop" file? How do you make the file executable with "chmod +x Factorio.desktop"? How do I replace paths with my own? It seems so much considering everything else in how Bazzite works so far. Thank you for reading ...

Why would you care about evolution after dozens hours of gameplay? A this stage 0%, 18%(15 hours), 25%(24 hours) or even 50%(70 hours) shouldn't really matter.

"Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun."

and all vanilla 2.0 players would have a tab with 1 lab and 2 in space age? nahhh sorry, i think mods should handle their mess themselves, especially when it makes absolutely zero sense to handle it in the base game

Not tab, but row. It looks quite logical. Smelters already have separate row ...

Great idea. Even in vanilla, it's annoying to add all kinds of spitters, strafers, etc., individually instead of just selecting entire groups. With mods, it becomes a nightmare. The same goes for asteroids. Why should we have to do extra clicks in every game to add every type of big or huge asteroid ...

There are many ways to kill demolishers. I prefer using a tank with cannon shells. The first damage upgrade is enough to overpower their regeneration. And if you have two players firing at the same time, it becomes a very easy fight.

I encountered the same issue with my dedicated GPU not being used, despite it being recognized if I look at the logs.


For nvidia you need this two environment variables instead of DRI_PRIME:
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
You may set them in shell or modify exec ...

Copper is simple - turn liquid copper into copper plates, and turn copper plates into copper wires in EMPs, exploiting the juicy 50% productivity bonus.

If you took a closer look at the recipes, you'd notice that your approach is simply wrong, and your 'juicy 50% productivity bonus' is actually ...

I spend an awful lot of time closing Factorio, then tabbing back over to Steam among my million windows and launching the game again. Having a shortcut for this would save me a lot of time overall. Hopefully it would be easy to implement (the game already has infrastructure to restart the game ...

I do if I want it at Aquilo, unless I also want to add a bunch more infrastructure for rocket thrusters and fuel.

Looks like this is your main mistake. It is far easier to build ship on suitable planet and let it fly to final destination. And you do not need dozens thrusters and massive ...
