I've tested a Playthrough Marathon-Deathworld with these Settings ( plus Deathworld Settings for Gleba , currently Gleba is unaffected by Deathworld ) and was quite happy with the Experience.

So what? Have you tested your proposition with at least 100 random players and control group?
I have ...

But this is sort of cheesing the difficulty by stacking the map so far in your favor, and that leaves a bad taste in my mouth, especially since it's supposed to be a challenge mode.

I guess I should view it more like ribbon world, where you have to reroll maps simply because your starter ore ...

That said, I wish there was something to do with the pacing of the start of the game. Not being able to run more than a couple of burner miners (and sometimes not even full-time) because you'll provoke an overwhelming attack before you can even do research is a really harsh limitation, and is the ...

What can help you is to try a mainbus concept: https://wiki.factorio.com/tutorial:main_bus
A big space of belts and pipes straight through your base that carrys most of your materials.

I think main bus is interesting only from historical point of view. It is not good idea to suggest outdated ...

Do not rebuild. It is time consuming and mostly useless. Ineffective base is still better than no base. Just find a good place near resource patches and build whole new base. It will take some time, maybe several hours. And during this period your old base will continue to work and supply you with ...

There are no mistakes in wiki, but looks like you have weird interpretation.
"set to produce items of X quality" means normal quality recipe is chosen in machine. Recipe quality is not about target quality but about component quality. However you erroneously interpret it as "goal is receiving ...

If and only if offshore pump is directly connected to heat exchanger. Add water pipes and suggestion change nothing.

Just to make this explicit....

The thread has given explicit examples of real world use cases that relied on the boiler/heat exchanger only buffering 2-3 seconds (at full throughput) worth of water (and pipes having half as much as a boiler), and were broken by the fluid rebalance.

But have not ...

I support the idea

I do not see what problem do you have with stopping steam. Let all heat exchangers output to single pipe. Add pumps(one per 11 heat exchangers) to it. After pumps put another single pipe connected to all tanks and turbines. It will work even faster than stopping water flow because steam takes 10 ...

iv tried search key words on this forum and get nothing exactly in post

Because your question is not about factorio but about basic skill with docker.

5% of players even got to Gleba in the first place.
That's 1 in 20 factorio players actually went to Gleba.
Of those 5%, almost all of them are on these forums complaining about it.

Let's calcualate how many of them have successfully completed Gleba
Visit Gleba - 5.8%
Research with agriculture ...

And why this "balance" should exist in the first place? If for some weird reason you need to shutdown your boilers then use 3rd option. And let everyone else to have half minute to change water supply configuration without brownout.

There are already several mods for this. You may try them to see if it really fits into factorio gameplay. From my point of view - it doesn't.

Balance: A built-in system could be tuned alongside vanilla progression to avoid trivialising existing challenges or creating dominant strategies ...

Check spelling of name of your character. For example you could use name 'Fanz', when you played this multiplayer game in past, but for recent session you have used 'fanz', that leads to creating a new character. Fix name and you will get back your character.

Am I missing something? Is there a reason to use train refueling stations instead of just letting bots to keep them fueled up?

Instead of one giant logistic network player may choose to use multiple small networks or even have areas without any logistic network. In this case your approach will ...

2) for science packs that can be created on more than one planet, module has to produce everything from the raw materials available on the planet, other materials can be external inputs (for example, for Vulcanus module, plastik production has to be included in the module, but sulfur is an external ...

Why? SA and quality are marked not as required but as optional dependencies

They are so slow without upgrades. Yes, they become useful after some time but not in the moment I can build them.
For me the main relief point is Logistic system research.

Looks like you are playing with default setting and use efficiency modules. In this case thin line of laser turrets usually is enough for a very long time. It is much easier to setup and sustain than gun turrets. You will need to scale power anyway, So just grub uranium patch in the south, setup ...
