I have too much florite usually, but I tend to do Slag -> Crystallization for my Uranium... so I get a lot of florite..

I used to have a Sulfer problem till I switch all my Coke manufacturing from baking it to washing for the sulfer waste water. But I'm not even processing my acid gas right now

I'd personally like to see a way to get all the Trees, Gardens, Puffers, & Fish through none exploratory means. Trees & Gardens (seeds) could gotten from an aviary, fish eggs gotten from processing water, and Puffers could be gotten from processing Air. (Just examples).. But basically the pr...

Currently doing a play through of Train World w/ Death world biter settings...

My early base: aka Glorious Spaghetti (pre logistics)

I like the idea of stacked belts...but make them work sort of like highways... IE there are on ramps and off ramps that can output a fully compressed belt... 2ndly... Check out Angels mods... specify the Logistics mod... They have some called a Cargo bot that holds 100 items at a but moves stupid sl...

Generally speaking I avoid pipes in general. I just barrel stuff, and manually move things around until I get logistics usually.

A follow coder and friend at work talked about the glory of factorio.. I'm now working in an office were every Software Engineer here (6 of us) plays factorio...We love it.. We joke about how any new hires should be required to make a factory and then we evaluate it to get a sense of their engineeri...

1st. Shout out to the devs for such an awesome tutorial system. It is truly awesome. So last night I checked out the Chain Signal Tutorial... and I kinda want more. I think this is more likely to implemented by modders, but I could totally see a series of Factorio puzzles coming through. Such as bal...

...So how do you motivate yourself to keep going? ... I'm an engineer at heart (Software engineer granted). Building a bigger, better, more perfect factory is just what all innate engineers love to do (that I've met). I think it comes down to the Pursuit of perfection, even though we all know that ...

Having 1 less physical resource to be highly dependent on (coal) is always nice. But I don't upgrade to electric furnaces until I have robots and efficiency modules. But like I said before, I rip out all smelting from my base at this time anyways, and throw it down to a smelting station to handle it...

Is this idea still up for consideration? IF so, I vote yes. Provided the Hidden ores work similar to oil.

This is a new map that I just started. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful! To look at the map download the file and open index.html. You have Some problems if this will also be your long term solution to smelting. 1. Your smelting line currently in bound to a 2x2 tile Smelter. When the ti...

15 is extreme for a default. I would recommend a 4 at the max. It barely takes any time for my save to go through, but I pointed my Windows Documents to be on my SSD.. I've noticed quite a few gamers will have their My Documents on their HDD vs the SSD, If you want faster saves, you'll want to fix t...

It really depends on how spread out your outposts are, and if you play with water or not. If you think the amount of time and resources it takes to expand you wall will net you many pockets of resources I say go for it. I've done both methods, and I've found if you plan on making bigger bases to jus...

As an avid player of Bobs mod, if you like realism, and the challenge it brings, I really really recommend it.

Space is no issue in this game. But barrels are easy to handle. Just put requester chests near a fab that needs fluids. Better than piping Space can be an issue, especially if you play with medium water, low stone, and/or you want smaller paths for drones or belts. But now that I think about, the n...

I've thoroughly have been enjoying using OmniBarrel In my current game I wanted to see the Viability of using compartmentalize factories connected by trains. Which meant all my Oil and Oil based products have to be processed outside of my main, then shipped in by barrel. This mod allowed me to do so...

But multithreading isn't some amazing performance multiplier, and it only really has an impact if you have more cores, so its great if you have a shiny modern 8 core i7 or something, but for people on laptop or low end CPUs with maybe only a dual core, the performance improvement might not even be ...

At risk of Flame - I think the complexity of Nuclear Power is perfect for Vanilla In Short: Nuclear Power is/will be the most complex power setup a player can have Let a mod-er make it more complex / realistic In Long: Looking at everything, it is by Far the most Complex Power Setup in the Game. Ste...

To solve the problem with possible long download times for other players blue prints, I'd recommend keeping it as button. And instead of having them go into that players inventory, have it download to their long term blueprint storage. Then just give the player a notification when its done, letting ...

i would suggest to let everyone play their own way, why should someone have a problem with it when i decide to use turret creep? it is my savegame, not yours, if you dont like it just dont use it ^^ turret creep is not a problem, just add more ways to fight and the players will find their playstyle...
