How can I exchange blueprints from one of my game to another? I'm currently copying the string in a txt file (naming it after the BP name) and then I reinject it into the new game when I need it, but it seems rather old school.

Still in debug you see how much a chunk is interesting, expansion wise. Are you sure that the value don't go down if you place structures? I need to check...

The title is on purpose a bit 'teasing' ;) If you explore or scan a lot, then the biters bases will over time expand and grow and you'll get in the end a sea of red nests everywhere. The area is basically condemned to expansion, barring massive efforts. If now you only explore areas where you can, i...

No, I won't quit, and I'm on 0.17 Deathworld! Well, I'll quit when the bitters break into my main base... So for now, I'm a bit stranded in resources, and if I output more, pollution spreads too much. So I'm taking a low profile approach. I get some raids, but not too often. I just cleaned a base wi...

Is the spawn rate of biters from their nest modulable somewhere? I play with death world settings, so that's perhaps the issue, but once they feel threatened, each nest spawns from 3 to 5 critters every couple seconds, so this makes destroying a large base nigh impossible, given the flood of critter...

I'm totally unable to play at 'normal speed' for myself. I find things too frantic, even in the absence of any attacks. When I'm engaged with the local lifeform, I need to slow down (with a mod). I'm curious how you guys fare, if you don't play peaceful that is! Are you able to play at normal speed ...

Excellent, that's exactly what I needed!

Thanks, nice ideas. About spitters and their splash damage. Am I right that it splashes only in the 4 cardinal directions and not diagonally, meaning that (1) it's a bad idea to make a double wall, as the line behind gets damaged as much as the fore line (2) dragon teeth / staggered layout works best?

ok... Yes I can deconstruct and reconstruct. Or try to be modular and extend by segments... I'm surprised though that when you overlap a blueprint onto an existing production chain, the game considers the identical elements (one in existence, the same in the blueprint) as prohibiting deploying the b...

Right, makes sense! Upgrade planner... I have read the wiki on that, and I don't see a possibility to either use it, or have a blueprint be a 'bigger version' of another one. What I would like is to have version 2 of my science production hub be a bigger version of version 1 (it adds stuff there and...

Weird, I have tiny start with tiny armor and it losts some durability. I'm wondering if that's a so good idea to explore a lot and plop radars to uncover (and instantiate) large areas, you can't occupy any time soon. Because with Biters expansions, it means some areas which were devoid of any alien ...

Thanks guys.

Power armor durability, how do you repair?

I don't understand exactly what is the time associated to any technology... Should the time to discover it not be directly proportional to the amount of beakers? Gates for example ask for 30 minutes (or 30 seconds?) and demands 100 red and 100 green beakers. But advanced material processing also req...

Thanks guys for the answers. Still mightily confused about how to get rid of an empty blueprint, nothing seems to work... 6) About pollution, is pollution consumed by biters to have them grow? But if yes, why biters in distant places are as big and nasty as the ones I polluted? 7) Also, about biters...

Great! 3) an easy way to get rid of an empty blueprint in inventory? So far I have only found that I need to use it, and then delete it from its own menu. 4) Is it a good idea to make a double wall? It seems the spitter with their splash attack will damage then both at once, seems like a waste of ma...

1) Is the pollution generated by a machine strictly proportional to its activity? I have Steam Engines which are not running at 100%, is it equivalent to having much less Steam Engines, but running at almost full power? 2) I have not found through gougle search the answer to "how to prevent rep...

Sorry to say that for me too, the mod was killing FPS. This was fairly early in the game, and I have an Intel i7 with 32 Gigs of RAM and a very decent CGU.

Thanks, I would appreciate!

That was I routinely do also, inserter A adds something at a given speed (a speed high enough to satisfy the assembly machines on the looped belt) and inserter B (or inserters if you have several A) can pull out all that the A's can add. It can be nothing if the assembly are working at full speed, o...

Oh sorry my mistake, I was not too sure if the size of my saved games were right, they are now at 26 megs uncompressed. By the way, how difficult it is to add new enemies? Because there is this game, xenonauts, which is a XCOM in 2D with sprites files in png that would fit very well in Factorio, the...
