you build up production starting with the end result and you go backwards in production by placing assemblers making what is needed for the component you placed prior. Once done you see it's a big jumbled mess you never want to mess with again and it becomes the tumor in your factory

Honestly I dont have a clue Adil, this thread is an idea for a mod that's free for anyone to pick up and make if they desire. IMO I think would be a cool mod that gives the game alternative options to base building, give the player a reason to try something different and get a different experience f...

You're missing the point Hitzu, first of all my point of view of cars has nothing to do with what i'm presenting here, I'm pointing out that it would be nice to include them as they're used more in the real world to transport goods over a short distance, no bigger than a city or a town normally. You...

wow dude, way to not hit on stereotypes. Also no, I was presenting a mod idea to expand logistical ability, not make it so we have cool cars. Just like in the real world, most modern civilizations rely road vehicles to transport goods within a road network to deliver goods to and from locations with...

[Moderated by Koub] : subsequently, this post never happened either. *waves one hand*

As for the pathing, I did mention that as well in my original post, where you set waypoints for the cars to go to, just like stations for trains, but instead of them running down a railway that you set down, it makes a bee line straight to the waypoint. As I also mentioned, this is common in RTS gam...

Yes, I mentioned that in my original post about figuring out new ways to layout a factory. As for why cars are better for mid distances than trains, cars are not tied to a track, so you can easily set up a path for them to go between two points. As for a train, you /have/ to lay down the track betwe...

I generally dont go for trains myself, I usually have a robot network before I would begin a train system. As for the difference, it's basically a vehicle that makes mid to short distances more efficient versus either train use or bot use. Trains work best when it's a long distance, and bots work be...

That's kinda the point of the accumulators in the scenario that was originally given. The accumulators would act as a buffer of power so when your lasers went off, it would not shut down your factory because you had the spare power stored up. By the time the accumulators ran dry the attack would lik...

So I had a thought, we can make trains that run on their own, and bots that are just about as autonomous as it gets, but I figured why dont we have cars or trucks that run autonomously as well? Basically taking the car or truck, shoving a robot in the driving seat, and setting waypoints for it to go...

Hope this mod does get updated for 0.12, this would be very useful

...what? This thread is vanilla based, not modded

I have a question about boiler to steam engine ratio. Why 14:10? I use 10:10 and all my steam engines work at full capacity, why should I add another 4 boilers? 10:10 might work for the time you checked, it's based mostly on how much power your base is using. Steam engines slow themselves down and ...

Updated:

• Added the Blue Science Module
• Revamped the factory modules section a bit to help make the section a bit clearer

Or he could use a sceenshooting software like the one I suggested at the bottom of the parent topic that will take the screenshot and upload it automatically to a server for easy access. It's even linked

I think I've come up with something close to the ideal furnace setup, but it's too difficult to take screenshots, so I'll just describe it. Someone else is welcome to make a screenshot and share it (it's not as if an idea can be copyrighted anyway)... Not sure if there really is a good ballance for...

I dont think that really is on topic in this thread n9103, There are lore topics in the General Discussion

That's more or a base layout which isn't the goal of this thread, these are a collection of tricks and builds that can easily be put into any base. There's more than one base layout and some work better for others. While yes I do think a good layout is key, part of the fun is discovering your own la...

One thing I would like to try and do is get a variety of builds that do the same thing, that way people can play around and find which layout they would like to use. Cause one thing I noticed is there are more than one layout for just about everyone of them, especially furnace layouts. Quoted here ...

when I said same version of the two builds I meant the original version, and your optimized version. It is technically the same build, just yours is more space and resource efficient One thing I would like to try and do is get a variety of builds that do the same thing, that way people can play arou...
