Makes perfect sense, but it isn't something that I considered. Right now, as I don't visit Gleba often, I set up a assembly machine with a chest filled with fluoro hot barrels in it feeding and another chest removing the empty barrels. The system is mostly full but keeps adding another barrel as it ...

Pictures?

Are the hot fluoroketone pipes too full, maybe?


Interesting. Is that a thing? I thought that the fluoroketone gets replaced at the same rate as it is used, so this wouldn't be a factor. I have it set up with a storage tank of cold fluoro and a storage tank of hot fluoro in each loop ...

I recently updated my entire Gleba base and did a fusion power setup. It has 8 legendary Fusion reactors and 68 legendary fusion generators. It's about 8.5 gigs of power. The base uses about 2 to 3 gigs of power at any given time. It all seemed stable at first. After being back to Nauvis for an hour ...

Up until now, I have 1 large cargo ship for each planet (One for Fulgora, one for Gleba, etc). That ship goes to its home planet and stocks up on inventory which is native to that planet, and then it goes on a route to each other planet to deliver it's goods. I have set up an interrupt to go back to ...

Hey all,

So here is my situation, I am probably making this more complicated than I need to.

I currently have Science being produced on Fulgora, Vulcanus, Gleba and Aquilo and it is automatically being shipped to Nauvis for research (And Space Science). My landing pad at Nauvis requests each type ...

Hey all,

I play on a windows PC and play factorio from steam. Since space age, I have been bouncing between 2 saves, 1 the stable version of the game, and 1 the latest experimental version. I don't like having to update between the 2 save games I am using, and I sometimes accidentally overwrite my ...

I guess I should have looked at this other thread first. Definitely some good ideas there...

So in my previous games I have used a water fill mod to help with water and large nuclear builds. This most recent build, I have gone modless so that is not an option. I am using about 4 GW of energy, so it is quite a bit of water needed. I am at the point where I am going to move from steam power ...

So I have been wondering if Factorio would consider making the gear logo a gold pendant that people could put on a necklace. Truly, it might be my favourite game of all time and I would love to wear that kind of thing. It would be unique and simple. I have looked around, and not seen anything like ...

I am able to place resources. However, when I try to change one resource to another with the "check copper" tool, for instance, I get an error and the game crashes.

I have launched hundreds of satellites. I am not able to use the research queue. I also looked through the options and settings and didn’t see a way to enable it.

So I normally use the standard bus that you see with 4 lanes, 2 spaces, 4 lanes, 2 spaces, etc. I still pull from my main bus the way I did before 0.16 to keep the bus balanced. Now, I see on YouTube play throughs, that most people pull from the main bus and balance with 4 staggered splitters. I ...

This is such good information. I have just got the 2 achievements left, There is no Spoon and No Time for Chit Chat. I will say, it amazes me, that by looking at both of the pics of seeds here, that you only need 2 yellow belts of iron and copper to complete this, is that right? I haven't done the ...

It is definitely a brilliant idea. I love the idea of building your entire world around these small factories and smelters and refineries. However, when I tried it, I found that the amount of throughput just wasn't worth it. I ended up getting out about a yellow belt of iron plates when feeding iron ...

So I generally use RSO to generate resources. My typical start is to create a small starter base/bus with my initial resources. I get red, yellow and military science up and running and get red belts and steel furnaces and power poles. The initial resources are never enough to get my main base and ...

Bob... Please stop changing your inserters. I have had a broken base like 3 times this week because of it!

Thanks,
Rylant

I think that Red and Blue belts scale better. I do agree that the increased cost of Yellow belts seems a bit much. I did just start over again and it made the start significantly tougher and longer than normal. Possibly because I started in an area with few trees, which made pollution worse. It took ...

Bob's mods are fine and not that more complicated as vanilla.

Oil setups are the same, you just have more options like sulfurisation.
The most ores go into smelters like iron and copper, some plates are a mix of 2 other plates - so not that hard.

The Bob's Enemies mod make the biters a bit more ...

So, I have completed the game vanilla and adding a few mods, but nothing that adds complexity. I was thinking about trying a Bob's run. I know that a full on Bob's and Angel's game can be quite complex and overwhelming. I am not sure I am ready for that yet. I have heard that if I just start a Bob's ...

There are a couple questions to ask, is water close enough to not be a pain? And also will the coal patch outlast the uranium (math time)? If not, then the oil patch gets bonus points.
I use a waterfill mod (a little cheaty?), so water won't be an issue. And I think that both the coal and the oil ...
