But I really don't feel like I can leave Nauvus long enough to set up a base on Aquilo. Well if I automate shipping repair bots and replacement ...

Spare a thought for the devs, if you think you're feeling empty after playing the game, how do you think they feel after coding it for ten years :p

I think you're being a bit quick to say factory games have peaked and there's nothing left to add. Factorio created the genre as far as I know, then ...

Marathon deathworld. Obviously I brought this upon myself.

Still, it's been quite entertaining, if a little fraught. I started on Nauvis, rushed solar panels, and ran a low-pollution base until I used up the starting ore patches. I also set up my second base on a nearby island. If I'd studied the ...

Getting stuck into my rampant deathworld run, and I found a much cleaner architecture for gleba.

The hub rocket launcher doesn't ever launch a rocket, it's basically just a large chest. Looking at the number of required biochambers and their build ratios, it feels like the devs ...

Second run through, 4x research and deathworld, and I thought I should submit my new layout, which no longer backs up at all unless I were somehow to overflow on holmium.

I encountered quite a niche case in spaceship design, because I started a rampant deathworld run on nauvus, but managed to build a basic starter ship which I took to Fulgora. I barely got off nauvus myself, I couldn't make enough blue circuits for another launch. I dismantled the ship on arrival at ...

So I forgot I need an extra 4000 research to discover a second planet. I had to sneak out and mine another ten chests of copper and 26000 oil. I added efficiency modules so I could ninja-mine right next to an alien spawner. Then I built the worst spaceship possible, and had to scrape together enough ...

As soon as I finished researching rocket silo, I dismantled my entire base, and carried every single thing to my hidy hole. Starting gun, check. Every single drop of oil or downstream product. I'm more than a little ocd I'm afraid.

Hah, well I started a new marathon deathworld space age run. Then I followed my standard low-pollution play style, minimal production, push solar, factory goes to sleep at night, and at 12 hours, I got steamrolled. Restarted with the same settings, except I set the starting area without biters at ...

I took a 2 month break, just about to finally conquer the entire bannerlord map for the first time, now there's a game that I restarted like 8 times.

I'm thinking about a factorio playthrough where I only build each thing on the planet most suited to building that thing. I think it lends itself to ...

Your poll is just invalid. You asked in the Factorio forum, the forum full of Factorio lovers: "Do you love Factorio?". What answer do you reasonably expect? You wanted only autistic people to answer. I'm sure this constraint wouldn't change anything with the answers. There are all the same and in ...

Maybe the nickname "aspie" became popular after Elon Musk falsely claimed to have it.


[citation needed]

(Not for your assertion that he claimed it, but for your assertion that he's lying.)


I was also curious about that. Musk certainly strikes me as being on the spectrum, and I'm ...

Factorio is a game that is particularly attractive to people who can immerse themselves completely in one thing.

To get a meaningful answer to your question, you need to ask everyone, not just Factorio players. All Factorio players (ok, not all but many) will tell: "Yes, this is cool, started ...

Because this game seems to me to be aspie cocaine?


Did you give a mental disorder a "cute" nickname? That's pretty messed up. Do you have a cute name for cancer, or Lou Gerhig's disease, too? Do older people get "Parkie's" in your world?


Cancie does suck it's true


EDIT actually I'm rather ...

OK fine, I don't remember the name of the original planet. I feel like the mistake is fairly obvious yes?

This is just a pet theory of mine, but I would like some feedback from the group. I've been tempted to test my theory by giving some people I know who are clearly on the spectrum a free sample and seeing if their lives implode, but that doesn't seem entirely responsible behavior.

So, first, some ...

I agree that the original post is ludicrous to the point of satire, but there is one point I feel could be discussed. Many new players who now buy Factorio and Space age, may not think to play the base Factorio. But probably they would if they got the itch, it's not like I haven't tried all of the ...

Well 2 legendary speed modules in a legendary beacon boost factory speed by 625%, so I had a single cryo plant pumping out 18 explosives per second.


These in turn were processed into 4.5 railgun ammo and 11 rockets per second.

Thank you, I got vibes of some sort of stained glass window myself, I was very happy with it. Also, I haven't used beacons for like 5 years, I really don't think they used to be this good, have they been massively increased in power?

Hm. I reached the solar system edge, and went the extra 30k for the achievements, then called it done and moved on. Thinking Bannerlord, or Oxygen not included, or Baldur's gate or .. might do some Rome total war :D

Point is, I don't really feel the pull to do any promethium research at all. I do ...
