Factorio Forums

...you turn off autosave because you play on big maps and go afk on rail after long day of work.

You found you cleared out too many trees and are being constantly attacked, then start wishing the tree farm was vanilla

you realize that after you bent your rules about no mods for vanilla, (because of treefarm no less!) they only mods you don't have running are the complete overhaul ones like DyTech. :p

You upgrade your computer just for factorio.

you make a huge solar field and then notice after 7 hours of playing that you forgot to connecting it to the main power system

(700 solar panels)

I was banging my head on the table for 1 day I felt so stupid

(I can top this ) ... you have so many solar fields, that you need to walk 15 minutes through it (with skeleton), then find an unconnected part of more than 1400 fields (must be there more than 20 hours, see above post) and when you reconnect it, it gives the statistics only a quite small spike.

(i can top this aswell) You have to count your power supply in GW instead of MW

You catch yourself doing the numbers in your head to figure out exactly how many panels you would need

you realized you played enough to cause yourself some brain damage from the amount of times you facepalm when you try to teach a friend how to play Factorio

Fixed that for ya.

Do you remember, when car could have been requested and delivered to anywhere on map from factory.

Yes! The moment when you want to extend your miners with modules, put 150 speed modules in a car and on the way to the outposts you thought "Oh, some new spawners, let's kill them first..." and you left your car and and killed them and now you don't remember where the car is....

Happens to me a quite often on my larger maps...



... so the moment when you are chopping down entire landscapes with construction robots just to suddenly find one of the many cars you lost in the wilderness weeks ago loaded with plenty of goods you intented to use back then but had to redo because you couldn't find the car containing them anymore. ^^

You find a crate filled with old supplies you forgot about hours ago, and start nit picking out what's useful and what you plan to leave in the crate to be destroyed by said crate

You realize your beautifully-designed factory has to make a U-turn because of a lake.

You have to move your whole base beacause the starter lake is now in the way
