HA! Yes, but I'm not very good at spreadsheets or I wouldn't have to re-jigger everything when py changes the recipes

Great thanks

Woah. Which pymods is this? I looks like it's not using PyRO based on the ore colors. And it must be using vanilla biter settings turned way down with expansion off? Is that correct? What's above versus below the 4 way rails?

I suspect the best approach looks something like a ~3 tier approach: Prov2: produces a lot of them, needs to keep it cleared out to not block critical things Req2: most useful/highest throughput sink for them Req1: decent sink Req0: dump, large storage, worst sink (burner, etc). If the byproduct ha...

Thank you. That sounds logical and helps me figure out what priority to use for e.g. waste products. I hope Optera can see this and confirm.

Pyanodon just released an update and I'm on the case. I'll update the first post in this thread with links to the old and new, and I'll update the summary of each changed metal. What I've noticed: 1. Copper inputs for Tier3 and above: Acid solvent input is reduced by a factor of 5 Acid solvent also ...

Hi, I have a couple of questions about Priority that I couldn't find answered in the manual or forum. 1. Is priority "global" across different materials, or just local to a single material. Ex. Will iron plates with provide and request priority 2 always be serviced before copper plates wit...

yes i know i use it yes you can ask for more then 1 ( but you must make sure you can store it) it should work with fluids too if you use proper wiering provider station is a simple vanilla design BUT if you want to get more complex( filters ) you can load more then 1 item from a station rail grid: ...

here are a few that i recommend : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BigStorageTank lord kator train mod ( much more ups friendly then LTN when it comes to sustained traffic with common use items (ores & plates) ) black market vehicle wagon https://mods.factorio.com/mod/LJD_Vehicles_A16 and maybe so...

One element I think you're missing is the use of production modules. If the longer chains offer more places to shove prod mods, that can build to a pretty impressive multiplier even if the baseline production is modest. Actually Pyanodon removed a lot of the production module recipes that kingarthu...

Thanks a lot for doing this ! Could you please add some important intermediates like steel and duralumin ? For instance steel goes from 10 iron plates in science 1 to 1.24 iron plates (equivalent) in science 2...) (0.10 and 0.81 using your way of presentation.) Hmm not sure how to express that with...

Also...people complain about low ore/plate yield probably because never reached the medium levels of refining...a full chain can give you way more than 3plates per ore. Is this really true? I must be doing something wrong. Which metals can you get 3 plates per ore? Is this only after sintering and ...

Here's a chart of the best recipe per science tier. It ignores the inputs to each tier, which you should absolutely NOT ignore since some of them get crazy expensive.

Lead https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rxAFCPbj4cEgBNVbHQ9EgDjdo8EbphV63nSnRO_Z81M#gid=1929150127 Lead, this one is really tough. It's the worst producing metal and it's also the most expensive to mine. Red science gets you from .17 to .4 plates/ore. Green science Tier2 is basically the same ...

I'm not going to keep posting screenshots of the spreadsheet, since they'll just become outdated. Zinc https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rxAFCPbj4cEgBNVbHQ9EgDjdo8EbphV63nSnRO_Z81M#gid=2038307754 Red science Tier1 takes you from .1 plates/ore to .133 plates/ore at the cost of over 2 iron plate...

Wow are those the biggest buildings yet? Is there still going to be a high tech pumpjack?

Iron Summary https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rxAFCPbj4cEgBNVbHQ9EgDjdo8EbphV63nSnRO_Z81M#gid=102772535 Depending on how long green science takes, probably should do tier 1.2, which is the first molten recipe. Then after green science, definitely upgrade to tier 2.1. You have to build sinkho...

I know this can be done in Helmod but it takes a long time for each chain, and I think it would help everyone if there was an easy reference for this rather than each person spending a ton of time in helmod (Which doesn't let you export to a new map, etc). It's also easier in some cases to just forc...
