My first thought is a wired pump off your fuel tank going to another tank set to enable if fuel = 0 Haven't tried it tho, it might also need a timer to actually limit the fuel. I'd start by trying on a decider fuel in tank between thruster and pump = 0 and 30 second timer. Curious why you would do ...

Hi everyone,

I'm curious to know the techniques you're using the limit the fuel consumption of your thrusters.

I've heard of clocks, using the velocity, etc etc. Is there a better way? A less clunky way?

Hi everyone! I remember joining a game in the past where the scenario was you had this starting area, but to get other resources you had to progress upwards and defeat the biters in the area to secure the resources provided there. Space was limited so it was an interesting challenge. I can't for the...

Just wondering if any of you guys play wave defense scenario in vanilla. I played for the first time the other day and reached day 23 on solo, no idea if that is good or bad and just wondering if there is any leaderboards or any unofficial official thread for posting scores? Do you guys like the sce...

In my opinion combat robots should be auto deployable via the roboport network. In that case they would become an addition to turrets which could defend against unexpected angles. They would move around like construction bots and distribute themselves over the network, and when there are biters in ...

First thing I did was set up my toolbar in 0.17 to the most common things I use in the 4 slots.

Other tabs for less common things.

It took a few minutes to get used to, but if you take the time to set it up initially it becomes super useful.

Hello, I am unable to connect to my server on 0.17.16 through public games, it can be located on the list. It says connecting to game for a few seconds and then says it could not establish connection to the server. However, when I connect directly via IP address, I am able to get in just fine. It wa...

Any work in terms of their AI?

Sounds like PvP scenario. There is a default PvP scenario you can host and try that out.

You guys never cease to amaze me.

Well done.

On another note, maybe make that empty spot above the armor into a second armor slot. This way players can swap between armor for building the base and armor for destroying biters.

TL;DR See title. I would like to drop a blueprint into my logistic requests and have it set all of the materials required to build the blueprint in my logistics requests. What ? Simple idea really. Drag a drop a blueprint onto the logistics requests section in your inventory to set the request to w...

If only gun turrets were filled when placing. Also furnaces, drills and what not. I agree with everything but the turrets. Would make clearing biter nests trivial in the early game, even less so than it already is, when that is really the only point in the game where the biters offer something posi...

The free-play lonely? The music is sad but I have all type of machinery and robots to keep me company. Factorio really should have better music for late game that is not so depressing. At what point would this occur? In general, I'm excited about the campaign changes even though I have yet to play ...

It sounds awesome though! And if it works, then it isn't wrong at all haha

In the game you're playing right now, or if you're playing in multiple games, what is your current goal? It could be a personal end goal like 1kspm or a personal temporary goal like building an oil refinery capable of producing 1kspm etc. It could be getting past a certain part in the game if this i...

This can already be accomplished in vanilla. Just place a train station where you want the train to go, and just set the wait condition to anything that will make it leave instantly. Sure it'll have to stop and then go...but it is better than nothing. Another tip that may be useful is that any train...

You could also disable the station you're unloading at by reading a red train signal behind the train that is unloading and send that signal to the station to close it.

- I thought of using the same name for all the iron unload stations and I will definitely do that as then I will be able to place all my smelter arrays with the same type of raw ore together. But I can't do that in this world without a huge amount of work, as I currently have separate smelter array...

I've tried this, and with how mechanics are currently working (as intended) what you want is clunky at best. The best I came up with required loops so when a train station got shut off, the train was able to turn around at any intersection and go to its next destination. I had a "parking lot&qu...

TL;DR There should be an leader board for games without any mods. What ? I suggest that there should be a point based leader board. Perhaps starting at 100,000 points and your score would go down by 1 point per second of game play. Completing the game in 8 hours would result in a score of 100,000-(...
