That is very good. It matches the theme very nicely. Thank you!!

Hi, I made the BioTech mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mods/SlopppyEngineering/BioTech) but it was pointed out to me I should not use the bioreactor and a few other graphics. I replaced the other graphics. I thought it was under MIT license. My bad. But I can't replace the bioreactor, that's beyond m...

I was thinking along those lines, so that became the BioTech mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/SlopppyE ... ng/BioTech

In the BioTech mod you can create oil from sunlight. It does take massive amounts of space though.

http://i.imgur.com/citfbDW.jpg This is the closest I got to a base built as much as possible with blueprints. I have used blueprints for all parts of the tracks, each part filled with a robo-port, solar and accumulators. Automatically hooks everything up. There is a blueprint for Train straight, ro...

I personally prefer an oil layout like this:



It's very easy to expand and just looks nice.

It's better to have two provider chests, as one assembler can fill the chest and not leave room for the other one. This setup is great but too slow for large volume items, like science packs and circuits. But it works great for everything else like ammo, rails, rail signals, ... It's a perfect setup...

YES thats an awesome idea and you can melt it down in to something more use full? like you would need a lot of scrap (when you research it it will be less) like maybe 100 scrap to be 1 metal or something cause i have so much junk i collect I much rather have a science labs that take in the differen...

Would it not be easier to just add electrification to the belts, so in fact a standard conveyor belt with build in (underground) cables? Much easier to make and it keeps a clean look.

It seems useful to reduce pollution. You already have modules to make things go faster, more productive and more efficient. In the same way it would be possible to have modules with scrubbers that reduce pollution at the cost of energy and recycling (at the cost of energy and fabrication speed) that...

As it is now in the current game play, it would be easier for factories and research centers to burn their waste thus creating more pollution. You could research modules to lower pollution with scrubbers (at the cost of energy) or to have full recycling of waste (at the cost of speed and energy) tha...

I have the same issue. Savegame with a lot of hours from the previous version cannot be saved in 10.0

I did get to save it one time by loading the autosave and saving that under a new file name.

In the free play they have these rocket guard towers. Certain death to get near and the range of their rockets is bigger than your rockets.

Only solution so far: take the car and crash it into the turrets and run like hell.

The critters have these rocker defense towers I can't get near. A laser gun with a large range would be nice to take those out. It is the logical next step. Powered by batteries that have to be produced of course. Maybe rechargeable batteries with a charging station?

I was thinking more about automated forklifts or trucks with a crane that can pick up a lot more stuff and move it around on a road with two lanes so twice the size of a normal conveyor. It would use the normal provider - request chests to load and unload.

You could use buckets of molten metal that are transported on the standard belts. That's a bit more in line with the rest of the game.

But I would be happy with something like an induction furnace so you can power whole sites for making metals on solar and wind.

I often wondered why there is no waste. For coal I understand. It gets burned. But I mean, you have this tons of iron and copper disappearing in the research facilities. At a certain point you have to wonder if they don't produce leftovers that have to be removed (manually in the beginning or automa...

I like the crafting ammo while on route.

But you could make it still an option in research. "Portable fabricator" perhaps.

I was thinking more of a road usable for automated fork lifts. Jumping directly to flying saucers is a bit of a stretch for me. They could come later in the game to upgrade the fork lift system?

I used pipes to make a wall against the creepers to make a sort of tower defense like maze. But I was thinking about walls. There is stone as a resource that's almost never used except for some burners. Why not use it to build fortified walls with gates that open for the player and for the transport...
