Yes-- unless your belts are getting filled, there's little point to using a faster belt. And if you're overproducing and you fill the belt up back to the sources of production, again, there's little point to using a faster belt. Only if your consumption exceeds the capacity of the existing belt woul...

You can gain a significant boost to your running speed by paving your path with stone blocks or concrete.

Other people seem to setup a rail line and use a train for faster transport around the map.

Use efficiency modules everywhere by default. They reduce the power drain and pollution generated. Use speed modules maybe on Pumpjacks and maybe with Assembly Machines making something slow. Use productivity modules for Alien artifact => Purple Science, and maybe blue or red circuit production. One...

Judging from a lubricant plant that had been unconnected, for fluids was 20. The game seems to consider each output pipe from the chem plant to be able to hold 10 units. Anyway, if you wanted to hold a specific amount, build a pump and then a storage tank. Connect them via a circuit and set the pump...

The second tier furnace is the "Steel Furnace": https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Steel_Furnace https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Advanced_material_processing_%28research%29 Basically, you need steel and stone blocks. The "Electric Furnace" is third tier: https://...

I had a life, and then I played Factorio. Now I have Factorio. The interaction between building out an infrastructure from scratch, balancing production and consumption of power and resources, and then realizing that pollution seems to be provoking the enemy critters into trying to gack my power pla...

Ah - ha! So that's what the poison capsules are supposed to be used for. I kinda like driving around the enemy nests in a big circle and lobbing shells through the worms into the spawners while screaming at the top of my lungs. So long as you don't stop and keep your speed up, this works even agains...

Another good thing to control is the flow of sulphur either to a chem plantmaking explosives, or for sulphuric acid for batteries & blue circuits. Connect a smart inserter which moves sulphur to the explosive chem plant to the crate holding your explosives (or maybe cannon shells), so that it wi...

If you're just running a radar as a standalone mini-base, 6 solar collectors and 5 accumulators will make it almost through the night.

7 and 6 will stay powered up forever....

yep ive got lubricant but i need to get it out as i cant make the engine with the 2 red strips round it, yep have pressed alt too, Do i need to use an assembley machine ?
