Haha, I'm already defeated on the first day! What else could I expect!

Keep 'em coming!

The closing date has passed. In the end, 6 designs got submitted, all of which beat my 728MW...

Ah, thanks for pointing that out.

There's indeed no replay.dat in the save file.

So that concludes that...

@Artman, I probably screwed up - https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =49&t=8376

Allright, I'm having a problem. I wanted to film the replay of my latest speedrun (the 3.59.58 one), but I can't play it. I'm now in version 0.11.13, and I played on the map I created in version 0.11.8. Knowing that would cause trouble, I looked for a way to convert the map to 0.11.13 so I could pla...

Allright, I'm having a problem. I wanted to film the replay of my latest speedrun (under 4 hours ), but I can't play it.

@Artman, this is probably it. With great efforts I might be able to shave off a couple of minutes, but I think I reached the limit of what is possible with my current strategy (Someone could come up with a different strategy that is faster still; This would be a good moment for DaveMcW to come in wi...

Just finished another run on the same map, same rules as last time (peaceful, rich ores, ingame timer so with reloads (reloaded more liberally this time). Breaking the 4-hour mark was really satisfying, this will really (really!) (really?) be my last run for a while. Maybe I'll try a live run and tr...

Thanks for the feedback :) Good point on using the heavy and light oil for power, I didn't think of that. Just hooking up a couple boilers and steam engines (does someone know how much fluid/s a boiler uses?) might save time, as I'd have to set up power anyway. It'd have to be a reliable constant so...

Hi guys,

I've just posted the video's on Youtube:

Good point, I've edited the opening post with a statement. Also, I'll talk about this somewhat more comprehensive in the upcoming video.

Thanks, I'll do my best to get it up quickly! @kovarex/devs: I'm still on version 0.11.8 (hint:no blueprints were used ;) , I didn't update on purpose because that disables the replay ability (even though worms won't shoot you anymore in the newere versions :evil: ) Yesterday night I managed to play...

I just finished a new (and for now my last) run in 4:44:42 About 2h in the run I knew this time would probably be quite an improvement, so I didn't bother trying to film-capture the old 5:23 run. Instead I'll make a video on this one, including all the numbers and strategies I figured out. It might ...

Killing aliens was actually one of the weak parts of my game. I mistakenly set alien bases to small, which meant I had to spend 20 minutes laser-turreting small and far apart bases to collect the stuff (you only need ~380, 100 for the modules and 260 + losses for science). I don't know what the aver...

Without checking your math, the day/night cycle changed a bit in 0.11.8, so that's probably why you now get different results.
