The wiki tells me, foundry can't assemble holmium plates... Or can it?
https://wiki.factorio.com/Foundry

Wiki doesn't list it in among exclusive recipes, because it is not exclusive, but still mention it:
Additionally, the foundry can also make other foundries (but only on Vulcanus), all belt ...

Guys, why do you use AM3 instead of foundry for holmium plates?

There are multiple ways to kill a Demolisher, and turrets are not the best option.
Killing it with 20 turrets requires either uranium ammo or multiple damage and speed upgrades. If you have those, you can also kill it with a tank.
Try to start on Vulcanus, or at least get there early, and kill the ...

I tried getting into speedruns, and quit when I "concluded"/decided that the gains from the planets weren't really 'worth it' to aim for specific planets first or later. So while there is the choice of which order to go to planets, "it doesn't really matter". It would be fantastic if you could do ...

Definitely chance. Not so long ago I wanted opposite - to have nest very close to the starting point, and it have taken me dozens of seeds to get.

You have forgot the most important point - what interesting add your idea to gameplay. If it just add "realism", then it adds nothing.

It matters only in deathworld games, which are not for novice players.

You don't need a megabase. I don't know about you but I tend to have an average of a rocket every few seconds before finishing the inner planets.

One rocket is 1000 science packs. 2 rockets for Gleba, one per Vulcanus and Fulgora. So if someone have in average one rocket every 15 seconds it ...

Going through a few silos multiple times to pack requests into them more tightly probably doesn't matter in terms of UPS cost but doing so for hundreds or thousands of silos in my mind means doing all those extra steps for every single rocket silo, which i would imagine would result in hitting a ...

I may be wrong, but it looks like you're one of those funny people who aren’t aware of the already existing features of the Factorio mod management engine, yet ask for new ones that are actually inferior to what’s already available.
Except for the blacklist — everything else can easily be done with ...

I'm sure the biters will deeply appreciate your theoretical arguments, take them into consideration, and maybe even apologize for showing up 200 strong instead of the regulation 50.

But if i add the quality modules 20% of each craft fluctuats so both belts now take turns backing up and being completely empty for a while...
If only there was a way that you could take the most spoiled items out of a chest.

If you see such fluctuations then chests will be regularly emptied ...

Pollution "Attack cost modifier" is 50% (DW) and 80% (DWM)
-> This means, that less pollution is consumed to spawn a biter for an attack group in Deathworld. Similar pollution amount leads to bigger or more attacks.

Just of curiosity have started the same seed with DWM and DW, placed the same ...

Deathworld Marathon is just a x4 research cost multiplier with easier enemies than Deathworld. Unlike in 1.1 where it was true hell with the expensive recipes on top.

If the enemies are easier... why is it called "Deathworld"? Wouldn't they have called it "Niceworld" instead?
The description ...

you mean force people to play in a certain way?

Lol, exactly opposite. Instead of just one choice - to buffer or not to buffer - Gleba pushes players to choose between plenty ways to handle it.

people hate that planet because of how annoying it is.

Some people hate it, others love it. Some ...

I have not tried marathon, only regular deathworld and I do not understand why artillery was a gamechanger for you. Usually deathworld just add one hour of early game and have minimal impact later. If you can travel space then hard part is long over. There are plenty of ways to kill all nests in ...

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 ...
