Method 2 doesn't require any rewiring of the existing plant

I saw it called an "expansion" several times and that you can "upgrade" an account, and no indication it was an independent game. It also describes it as "continuing" the player's journey.

And regarding player limitations, the limitations of the game are meant to be in the mechanics, not in your PC hardware.

TL;DR - Limits via mechanics and complexity are fine. Limits via CPU shouldn't be.


Factorio has been memory bound for as long as I've been aware of the upper ends of ...

Just put a saddle on a Stomper!

Bots already wait to construct building in place sopmething that needs to be deconstructed.


Robots won't be assigned to build something until a robot is assigned to remove anything that needs to be deconstructed.


Could we change the suggestion to similar behavior? So the module bots will ...

"You want us to handle a weird edge case around insane levels of mining productivity? Eh sure, why not." Based Factorio devs as usual.

Ironically I'd say that power usage optimization really only becomes a thing with the Space Age expansion, because in vanilla you just build one big power net, fill all your assemblers with prod3's, and spam your choice of solar or nuclear to keep up with the demand. Full prod + speed beacons uses ...

(Also if you just want to play with delivering power by train, fluid wagons can transport steam.)

In general circuit connection will see all incoming signals from a circuit network even if they are being sent by the entity itself. So far the only exceptions are asteroid collector with set filters and assemblers with set recipe, but they were intentionally made to subtract their own output ...

You'd have to couple this with either unlocking Automation 1 by default or introducing some kind of tier 0 crafting machine that starts unlocked.

For me, that's what feels natural, that bots would fill the fusion reactor. Bots put modules in. Why? Because is convenient.
Obviously this is just my opinion. I want to leave a record because I feel very strongly about this.


Construction bots insert modules and carry out most player commands ...

If you don't sideload the other half of the splitter back to the other side does it work consistently? If so, isn't the workaround to just point two miners into the same splitter and get two full belts?

The input is the same as the output? I'd wager they're all getting treated as catalysts.

Humans eat ~2 kilograms of food a day. We burn about 0.8 kg of oxygen. It wouldn't be too crazy to imagine an alien biology that consumes the vast majority of its oxidizer in solid or liquid form alongside its fuel.

You want to disable its ability to draw from buffer chests?

I am speaking from almost no Factorio modding experience, but could you just have a composited entity with a tiny drain?

Prod modules would help in two ways:

1) Slowing down the greedy machine, allowing the others a chance to get inputs while it's working

2) Decreasing the amount of water it requires for its output to back up
