When it comes to expansion speed is your friend. If you watch KOS she does mining outposts all wrong. You should not be using a blue print for miners, a blue print for rail station blue print for in and out tracks and then manually hooking up each lane to the station. This takes far too long. Simply...

My sessions are about 6-8 hours 2-3 times a week

Just let me fix one more thing......

My first time playing I did not use robots because I felt they were too cheaty/easy. However now on my second game I am realizing that robots come with there own set of problems that keep them interesting.

I have not seen anything about the ability to mirror blue prints. Was it not added in .15?

Still sad my best time was 8:17 and now with .15 out I will probably have to join a massive multiplayer to try to get a rocket in less then 8 now.

So I changed my setup to be like yours and it works amazingly well. However I think you did not do a good job for formatting it. 1. Wire reactor output inserter to steam reserve tank. 2. Test if water is less then x (I used 1,000) 3. Set stack size to 1 4. Enable read hand contents 5. Wire reactor i...

Ya it is crazy but if you are producing 1/ sec you blow through the tech tree faster then you can use it. I have to say I really like it. I think the hardest thing do is change your mind set that an 8 hour rocket launch is no longer fesable for an average player.

I feel like oil has lasted a long time but I quite enjoyed it. I am just starting to set up my mall for building a mega base and science is pretty much done but I am already on the third oil patch. In addition the patches in my default setting were SMALL. 5-6 oil rigs per patch. I was even desperate...

Or if 1 rod is not enough to get steam reserves over the minimum your power plant will shut down for good. but at this point you are at or above the limits of the plant.

So I didn't see a High->Low transition combinators logic. Unfortunately I am not that good with combinators but what you need is

Memory ( if previous steam value >10)
AND
Current ( steam value < 10 )

When both are true inserter works which will only be true for 1 frame.

I actually made a solar/nuclear hybrid that sips fuel rods. The 20 rods I had left ended up lasting about 3 hours. Luckly I saw on KOS that nukes dont regulate like coal does. Up to 38 but these last 2 are taking forever

Also it appears the conversion rate from ore -> U-235 is .0007%. Out of 80k ore I should have gotten 540 U-235 but it looks more like I will get 54. Subtracting the 8 I had turned into fuel rods it looks like I will survive by the skin of my teath

Doesn't make any sense really. Dude can walk across a moving belt full of pipe segments, but not across a pipe placed on the ground...

ROFL

Are you kidding me? I have radar coverage on about 2 square km and all i have are 2 tiny uranium patches totaling about 80k. I mined out 15k and only got 12 U-235. 7 of which I used to make rods. I am at the point of shutting down my reactor so I can get enough to just start enrichment.

Other then robot designs I cant really think of anything that is infinitely expandable. Belt bandwidth runs out surprisingly quickly. I was working on a train concept but after 8ish wagons it still hit an upper limit

Has anyone ever seen a train crashing into a blue whale?

Meh IMO I say leave it for a mod.

I think recursive blueprints is more in the spirit of factorio with automated expansion

And clearly grenades are not a weapon lol

Just there for clearing trees

HAHA no idea how I miss counted lol fixed above
