I wish I had some kind of useful advice, but I do not. I am doing multiplayer on a fully end game map with my son and we have none of the issues you are describing. The machine I am hosting on isn't even all that powerful. It has an i5 CPU, 1070 graphics card, and 32GB of RAM.

I think you are making Gleba a bigger problem than it actually is. My research array is set to only insert packs when they are needed, but even if research is not using a bio-pack from Gleba and it spoils in a Biolab, I have an inserter to remove it, put it in a logistics chest, and have a bot come ...

Tesla turrets do not need ammo.

That was Stronger Explosives 22. Trying to get one shot asteroid kills from missiles. Not quite there yet, but getting close.

My ships have a flaw I have not figured out how to resolve. Perhaps you figured it out.

How do I guarantee I will never have a scenario where the number of biter eggs imported to the ship is not a multiple of 10?

Whenever I think about just 'letting it run' I realize I run the risk of having ...

50% may be tough to catch up on. This map has almost 1000 hours on it. Been playing pretty solid since we got Space Age. I have the computer in my office, so I can just leave it. He sleeps in the same room as his computer, so he turns it all off when he goes to bed.

We should have prepared for this ...

My son and I play this together, but run the server overnight allowing it to process research 24x7. Although he has participated in the active play along the way, he stopped getting achievements while they continued for me (it was hosted on my machine). It would be nice for him to be able to get ...

Truer words were never spoken.

The end-game research can get a little bit on the ridiculous side when you are waiting almost a week for it to finish!

I am honestly a bit surprised to see such low percentages. Are people not reaching Aquilo?

I think many people have not reashed Aquilo YET.
For my self atleast, I'm enjoying playing the game, I'm in no rush to "finish" the game. F.ex. I'm currently buissy decorating my Nauvis factorys with the ...

Space Age steam power is an 18.3% achievement percentage, and that is probably damn near everyone on Steam that bought the game since you get that super early.

Everything else goes down from there.

Creating a space platform is 6%, so less than a third of the people that got steam running ...

This game is all about 'chasing carrots'.

But, I am glad you clarified your point. The way I read it I thought you had played through already and hit some kind of obstacle that was not possible without a mod being loaded. Relieved to learn that was not what you meant at all!

Perhaps I am naive about something coming up, but what mod is required to complete the game? Historically I don't use any mods until I have finished the vanilla game, and that is the case thus far.

We just built a reasonably smart logistics infrastructure and got to 2kSPM. You get incredible boosts from research and module improvements. Taking it to the level of commitment you are describing, you should easily surpass your 1K goal.

Some of these late game achievements are uncommon. Just been playing casually since release. Try to reach a new planet every weekend, playing around with what we have explored thus far throughout the week and knocking out potential achievements. I have the legendary mech ...

I posted this over on the Steam message boards, but wanted to do it here as well...Been so long since I posted here that my account had been deleted!

Not that anyone likely remembers me here. I am not someone who publishes content or anything like that, but back in the early days of Factorio I was ...
