After the 10th or 15th attempt i finally got him :mrgreen: .... At YT (Nilaus) he just took 3 shots with that shells https://youtu.be/qs76dTFSUvw?si=zbSp7f1fdhricteC&t=599 Yeah, having a non-trivial amount of physical damage modifier/bonus from repeatable technology helps to overcome the HP poo...

But that is more energy inefficient way to do it. But you have so much energy available on Vulcanis... Solar panels have a 400% bonus on the surface. The Calcite-to-Steam recipe can produce so much 500-degree C Steam that you will never have to worry about running out of energy. True that. ... but ...

Yes you don't need Uranium shells. I recommend you check out the Demolishers resistances in Factoriopedia (ALT + left click) and try a few different approaches. Well. Actually, at a few repeatable physical damage unlocks, uranium cannon shells can reach ~30k damage before resistance , which is more...

As Loewchen said, RCU are likely not the only one to get the productivity from research treatment.

Where do you have the info from, that quality assemblers boost productivity? There is research that does boost recipe productivity, and I don't think there would be one for barreling/unbarreling fluid. Example: https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/blog-sync/fff-376-rocket-control-unit-productivity.png F...

I will add my voice about Railgun ejecting spent cartridges (or whatever you want to call it in-game). The concept of 'Railgun' is to remove the inefficiency of using chemical fuel from the equation (gunpowder, solid/liquid propellant, etc.), utilizing a magnetic coil to generate a powerful magnetic...

That one is guaranteed, Trupen has already scheduled a 24 hour Gleba livestream on embargo release day. I plan to completely unplug from social media until I have played Space Age Expansion to a satisfying conclusion. Unironically, I will have very little time to keep up with anything for next week...

12th science is endgame science as white is in current version of Factorio The seven science packs figure already counts space science. Red/Automation is the first one. Green/Logistics is the second one. Black/Military is the third one. Blue/Chemical is the fourth one. Purple/Production is the fift...

Speaking of testers, please be aware that the content/press embargo ends on the 14th October, so if you want to avoid spoilers please keep it in mind as there are no restrictions on what they can show. Is that the intended release date? :o October 21st is the release date. October 14th is when peop...

7 Factorio 1.0 science packs. + 4 planet-specific from new planets. But biolab showcase features 12 types of science packs. Or I'm getting colorblind due to old age... The 12th Type MIGHT be the spoiled bioscience pack 12th science is endgame science as white is in current version of Factorio The s...

In terms of killing these enemies, was anyone else's first thought sacrificial nuclear reactors? Build and fuel reactors in enemies path. Wait. Enjoy the fireworks. The resulting nuclear explosions will hit many segments of the demolisher's body and should do enormous damage. I really hope THIS was...

Right, I forgot about those. But if it's a problem, why not just add new levels to the existing techs and tweak the numbers accordingly instead? Laser damage is infinite repeatable technology—no need for more levels. Although the exponential growth in technology costs could use some tweaking as the...

I am disappointed with the pipe network's size limitation. At the same time, it does give little reason to use alternative logistics other than pipe, but not by that much. I would have to play with the new modified fluid logistics a bit before commenting further on fluid logistics in Space Age, Patc...

We do not know how quality works with personal laser defense modules (increase PLD's range? increase PLD's shooting speed? increase PLD base damage? Or some other benefits? Only one stat? Or all?). Unless I missed a dev comment regarding the quality effect on PLDs, feel free to correct me with a dir...

I don't actually think we're disagreeing as much as you seem to think we are. I completely disagree with implementing stutterstepping, but we're both on the same page about nerfing PLD. It is not that I disagree with you on 'implementing' stutter stepping. Being able to dodge worm projectiles exist...

Isn't 'toggling' personal laser defense on and off manually just another form of micro? On top of the stutter-stepping movement to dodge projectiles from worms? Which would result in more 'micro-intensive' gameplay when both are present together in-game? The difference is that toggling the laser de...

*snipped* That said, adding "micro-intensive" gameplay like stutter-stepping probably isn't a good fit for Factorio either. Stutter-stepping adds a degree of mechanical skill to the game, which maybe some people would want, but Factorio's is designed to be a more macro-intensive game over...

I plan to have an infinite scalable 2xN nuclear reactor layout. When I connect more than one reactor to the checker (that checker being if the reactor has less than one fuel), the condition would also have to consider the number of reactors. IE: Four reactors have four fuel cells (one each). Then, ...

By suggesting removing the timer condition, I would have to consider multiple fuel cells' energy content sitting in the reactor to distribute through the heat and steam network once the steam condition is met. You can now read if the reactor has fuel and only insert one fuel if it is empty AND the ...
