Re: [MOD 0.14.21] ShinyBob_v0.14.10

Love this mod. One question I have is if there is a way to make the color difference more obvious on boilers and engines when you have a vertical layout. Know there's not much to work with on the graphics for that orientation. I could just do horizontal layouts if it annoys me enough.

Re: Oil Help Please!!

I remember having the issue with the barrels overflowing at my emptying station and not moving to the filling station which I assume is what you are talking about. Trying to remember that it was the train conditions that caused the issues. I think I solved it by 1) making sure all filled barrels wer...

Re: Speedrunning the game

Any other general tips that anyone can provide? My fastest right now is 10.5 hours and I dissected my last run so I can try to get faster. I was always running out of steel and power so I'm going to extend those lines. My science seemed slow once I hit purple. I thought 10 labs would be enough. Shou...

Re: What inspired you to buy Factorio?

quill18's let's play got me thinking about it. But the clincher was the demo on the website. That took away any remorse of spending $20 on an early access game that I might not like. Got hooked on the campaign (I think it took me a Saturday morning and afternoon). Bought the full version that night ...

Re: Have Some Questions Before I Buy.

Hello guys, I'm about to buy my own copy of the game but I need to ask a few questions and this seems to be the topic for it. I played Dwarf Fortress a lot and Factorio is exactly like it in many ways. The problem I had with DF was 1. bad optimization which inevitably leads to fps death no matter w...

Re: Why I really hate/dislike the game

I think the game really shines in sandbox (of course!). I saw a let's play on youtube and thought it looked interesting and just tried the demo. The campaign/demo was just enough to get me hooked. I think I'm at 300 hours in the last 8 weeks and we're not even to 0.13 yet. :shock: But I don't see ho...

Re: Lazy Bastard Achievement - No hand crafting challenge

I did my own numbers and I just wanted to confirm something for the achievement. It's not counting how many items you craft but how many crafting processes you start. So crafting a copper cable counts as 1 toward the total even though it results in 2 items. Otherwise I got a total in the 120's (can'...
