as insane as this?

fewer machines also helps; so use speed modules and beacons everywhere if you're not already.

Someone also said bots+barrelling is better than using pipes, although i haven't tested that myself

bronze is convenient, because i usually have tin and copper on the same belt for making white circuits, which are also used in blue science

The first version I played was 0.11.4, before the game was on steam No idea how many hours i've reinstalled my os several times since then

I agree with all points. Biters were fun in the first few games I played, but since then they've just been annoying. I like the idea of alien modules. You could also go in the rpg direction and give the player experience for killing biters, which is used to gain levels and learn/improve skills

As a logical consequence, our base ran entirely on corpses from spawners surrounded by turrets.

Yeah this was a cool feature. You could also use the alien chitin to make walls.

I switched from belts to boxing+bots, and minimised production buildings using bobs modules, saved a ton of ups. Some people think boxing is cheating, but its better than playing a super slow game

Nice

Yeah I think sniper turrets are op. Imo they should be a late game tech, requiring blue+military science or even high tech science I completely disagree. First, sniper turrets have already been moved back in the tech tree. They used to be available right away, but Bob moved 'em back a ways. Second,...

Yes, thank you. I was going to report the same thing. I go from 19 to 60 ups when I use the kill all enemies command

edit: just updated to 0.15.16. Getting a consistent 60 ups now on the same save

Requester chests aren't even that good. You can win the game faster without building any robots, so i think people should be able to have them earlier on if they want. Maybe "easier logistics network research" should be a game option? Or make it require gold science only if expensive recip...

I am working on it, along with a complete refactoring of the current code ( that started about 9 month ago but that I never finished because of an idiot bug...)

Anyways, I won't give an ETA but it should happen soon-ish (1 or 2 weeks)

Looking forward to this

Have you considered swapping silver and lithium batteries? ie make silver the tier 2 battery. I think they're easier to produce, and more importantly, they're a nice sodium hydroxide sink, so it'd be good to have them used in high tech science. At the moment, producing enough chlorine for one of eac...

can you allow productivity modules for heat tiles? they work with all other rocket parts

Some interesting things from the thorium wikipedia page: "Many applications of thorium use, rather than the metal, its dioxide, commonly called thoria" "When added to glass, thoria helps increase refractive index and decrease dispersion. Such glass finds application in high-quality le...

An idea for pipes: what if certain pipes would react with certain fluids. For example an iron pipe carrying acids would slowly dissolve and lose hit points.

You can play and win the game without ever splitting belt lanes. One of the nice thing about factorio is trying to solve logistic problems with the small number of tools available. Many players don't even know that underground belts work this way, it's like an easter egg ;) a way to impress others w...

Iron pipes have always done the job for me, occasionally I'll use tungsten for the long underground distance. In terms of throughput, the best solution by far is to not use pipes at all and instead use barrels/bottles + bots

yes it's completely random; so you could get 3 in a row if you're super lucky
