After much experimentation I conclude that the AI is too hard to abuse. :geek: I'll just stick to the good ol' wall 'n turret. Thanks everyone. :geek: It's quite annoying when someone answer you while ignoring what you said (even if I was in part wrong when I said they were no longer moving around t...

My point is they are no longer moving around them. Did you modify the game? I just tested, mine still work as expected. No The biters attack the wall because that is what they came to do. It looks like the pollution from your boilers is making them angry, so they path to the boilers. When they reac...

Also, you only need connect one tank to one pump to one fluid wagon. Using pipes will slow down the filling process. Multiple pumps are unnecessary as one pump will fill a tanker in 2 seconds. ackshually according to https://wiki.factorio.com/Fluid_wagon 3 pumps is faster (it is also the max amount...

The point is that moving around them takes them more time so your turrets get more shots

My point is they are no longer moving around them.
Did you read the fucking post ?

Btw: interesting dragon teeth design. I used them mostly to distract bigger biters together with a solid wall If the biters attack everything in their path there is no longer a point in using dragon's teeth. A real wall will slow them down just as much and you are guaranteed they don't nip at your ...

A year ago they changed biters so they don't collide with each other when attacking. I thought that change made dragon's teeth ineffective. But that doesn't explain why they should ignore the turrets and attack the wall. Can you post a screenshot? See https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-316 - Search...

and I could've sworn all alerts showed on the minimap

This is a common occurence of what we call the Mandela effect.
Basically the evil demiurge is fucking with reality.
There is not much you can do.

Flamethrowers render the AI as goo.

Are your turrets near enough to attrack the biters?

Yes they are in firing range.

Flamethrowers

How does the flamethrower allow to exploit the AI ?
It seems there is no way to exploit the AI as of now

Hi, today I tested the dragon's teeth defense against small biters (evolution level 19%) To my shock :shock:, the biters attacked the dragon's teeth instead of passing through while being slowed down as they used to. Even with 2 tiles between each wall section they kept doing it. Have you observed i...

is that the perfect defense outpost ? most likely :? fort.jpg edit : here is the blueprint 0eNqVnetuG0cMRt9lf8vB7s51/SpFUOQipAIcObXltkHgd69dp5GL6mR4fiUx7JOPK84MOSTX36b3Nw/7L3eH42m6/jYdPtwe76frX75N94dPx3c3z187ff2yn66nw2n/edpNx3efn/91f7o97q/+fHdzMz3upsPx4/6v6Xp5fLub9sfT4XTYv1D++cfXX48Pn9/v756+4dLP76Yv...

thanks everyone. I think I'll stick to the roleplay idea.

what do ? :? Yes. Thanks :? The philosophy of this question goes far beyond the scope of this forum. I play the game to challenge myself and for the love of trains, your mileage may vary. Maybe try different styles of play? Role-playing may help. Put yourself in the mindset that your a solo colonis...

Launching a rocket is not necessarily the end goal. Usually people set themselves goals like doing X science per minute. And you can pick some building paradigms like a pure belt base, bots, or using lots of trains But ultimately it's the same as with any sandbox game. You have to find some motivat...

guys I need your help. :( I think that game has amazing mechanics so I want to play it. However I'm not interested in its intended objective (launching a satellite to what end ???) Neither am I interested in slaughtering aliens, having all the techs, owning a big factory for the purpose of owning a ...
