I hate doing that. All the wood piles up in your inventory, wasting space. Just shoot them with the car or the flamethrower or something. So much better and faster.

Boxes are godsend.

Hahaha Nice tip. Must test.

Hello!

Not sure if the mod is in the correct subforum.

I have some questions about FP. I get the main idea behind it and it is a most valuable tool. What I dont get is the amout value which needs to be typed in. How do I decide this value?

Mods can change what the victory condition is, which ones are you running? In particular, Space Extension changes the win condition to having launched a bunch of stuff into space to build a ship rather than just a single launch.


I have only helper/info. mods and graphics mods installed. No game ...

What game mode? Freeplay I think(?) is the only one with the rocket launch win condition.
Did you load a satellite in it before launch? I think the win condition is actually launch a satellite into space.

It is Freeplay.

Damn!!! No satelite! Thanks for pointing out.

I launched the first rocket but the nothing more happened. Did I do something wrong? Is the game finished?

It is not Superman.
It is not the Avengers.
It is not He-Man.
It is not Luke Skywalker.
It is not the Terran resistance.

No. The real hero is the Engineer.

The problem with this is: there are no real pipes underground. There are just links, that lead from one underground belt to another.


This does not follow. In the normal case, the links tell you exactly where the overlay should be shown.

There is already an overlay showing the connection (if ...

That can be used by mods. You can connect two underground belts over edges. How would you display that on maps?

This is how my base looks like now. Yet no rocket launched but I researching yellow (?) sciencepack pretty soon

TL;DR

An overlay which is easy to toggle and which shows the underground belts/pipes and their lengths.

What ?

I think the game needs easy to toggle different kinds of overlays.

Why ?

In a glance players can get visual information about all stuff underground.

Each time I learn something new, I start over. I've started over more times than any of my friends who play Factorio (which, admittedly, is only two), and more times than I can count. I try to build as organized a factory as possible, organizing the bulk of my belts into a main bus with other ...

They are leagues above many of us. Of course it is all about practice + the little extra which cannot be taught. You have it or not.

If you want to save yourself a terminal inadequacy complex stop right not and spend your childhood playing the game rather than comparing your newbie skillz to what the literal, actual professionals can achieve. The Supply Challenge scenario's good for tuning up your git-r-dun focus, but seriously ...

Damn! What he did in 14 minutes I spent an eternity to learn
