Suggested multiple times, there is a recycle mod available. I also wish recycling was available in the base game.

Unless you set the biters to passive, you will need some defense in your base. Chances of getting completely overrun are slim to none though, unless you don't have any kind of defense after 20+ hours of playing. You can also set the starting area to very big so the closest biters are pretty far awa...

My construction bots seem to pause randomly with items in their grips and not move the items to storage boxes, i can get them to wake up by taking away and replacing the roboport, but why are they doing this? They have plenty of energy in them.

So if i made a huge roboport network but to start out only loaded up one roboport with a ton of and then somewhere far off i called in a construction order, they would have to come from far away where i loaded them up, and then would return to the nearest roboport? Does the game automatically decide...

I understand that the the green area is the perimeter of construction bots, and orange is the perimeter for logistic bots, and i know that the robotports link up to the distance of the orange area. My understanding so far is that if two roboports are linked then they can share bots between each othe...

MetaCritic reviews are for completed games, even Kerbal Space Program (arguably the most played Alpha game out there) doesn't have a review yet. Let's wait until Factorio 1.0 comes out to start putting it under and eye of inspection.

Love DayZ, love Factorio, Two great games. Glad he knows of Factorio.

I took out about 15 alien bases (with giant worms in each one) by crashing cars into the spawners and running away. Then you make another car to do a drive-by pick up of the alien artifacts (or just leave them until you can face the worms, they won't de-spawn). I've gone through a hell of a lot of c...

I have noticed that no matter how many EC assemlbers i build, the circuits can' get far enough down due to the spacing that is introduced by the EC splitter before they enter the inserter factory. What i have is a bunch o EC assemblers creating ECs on a that turns into the EC main bus, but when i us...

A little bit of both, most mostly need more ECs. Unless this is the only thing you plan on feeding this particular belt of ECs to, then you should probably split off the belt to each factory. I was planning on having these ECs go to my entire factory, including Adv. Circuits, what is a better smart...

Basically, your smart inserter is waiting for ECs. Because of this it can't take any more blue inserters (max 2), so blue inserters output will get full. Blue inserter factory shuts down because it can't make any more, so it can't take any more yellow inserters. Then yellow inserter output gets ful...

I can already tell you that your problem is not enough ECs for all of them to run at full speed. If there were, your EC line would have them waiting at the far end, and all the inserters would be working. But yes, the specific reason is as Boogie said, your output is full at the moment. I know my E...

When i look at my factory it is pressurized on the belts, but when i click on a factory it seems to create an inserter then pause to wait for some ingredient even though the ingredients are right next to the factory waiting to be inserted into it. Here is a pic, in this istance, the yellow inserter ...

Im curious, what parts of the core did you dislike?

Is it just me, or does anyone else really wish the updates were longer? I always am saddened why i finish the weekly update because I wanna hear more.

As for the let's play: Apart from my not being too comfortable making video in the first place, I doubt my playstyle lends itself well to making video. I tend to take my time doing things, which would likely lead to some rather boring videos. As someone who is currently 36 hours into their first pl...

You should really make a let's play. FishSandwich thinks he played "Hard Mode," i would love to watch this.

Greatly reduced belt costs, overall throughput, belt item balancing, and so on. A single belt won't keep a good sized EC plant fully supplied, even if they're all express belts. Having two standard belts is either almost as good as, or better than a single express belt. Really? That seems so strang...

I usually plan on 2 copper lines and 2 iron lines for each main base. One line of each is usually sucked up into my electronics department. I typically have 8 or so advanced circuit assemblers. You will also need about 4 refineries to handle the plastic. Do you think it would be acceptable to have ...

You need A LOT of space for these. Mainly because: 1) They are produced quite slowly. You need quite a lot of factories to have more or less good flow. 2) They are eating basic electronic circuits at an alarming rate. You will need a lot more factories to build these. 3) Because of 2) you will need...
