Is there some information available on different train lenghts and which is the most optimal? What is the impact of extra wagons? When to add an extra locomotive? Etc...

Apart from that I think a train with three wagons usually enough.

Not the most dramatic of updates... spent a lot of time playing around with trains (first time for me).

Iron capacity is still a problem, I need more mining outposts and another drop off area I guess... I'm also in the process of replacing a lot of regular belts with blue belts.

Hi everyone here's another update.

In this version I upgraded iron smelting to electric furnaces and increased capacity. Although I am currenlty at the limit of what I can do with the regular conveyors so I should really start making express conveyors and start using these everywhere, or else add a ...

Thank you everyone for the comments so far.

So here's the next expansion done: blue science is working! But I have some capacity problems on which I am currently working. My green circuit production really needs a better setup, the belt feeding to the copper wire to the green circuit factories ...

Yes you are probably right about the plastics. I also have a belt dedicated to gears, I am going to replace them with another one of with green circuits.

In the meantime I have blue science going, and I barely can keep up with green circuits

Hello forum!

Having played some factorio on and off about a year ago, I started again two weeks ago. My first factory then was a lot like my old ones, messy, crammed and when I had to start oil and blue flasks I ended up quitting the world because of frustration, lack of space, etc :)

So this is ...

Thank you for the answers everyone.

I'm too impatient and will start with freeplay I guess

I am currently watching all of OfficialStuffPlus' let's play videos and will use them for guidance.

I have just finished the tutorial missions, and have some basic questions:


How do I deselect something? I mean, after clicking an item in the quickbar (that's the name right?), is there another way to get it back there other than clicking an empty spot in the quickbar again?
I have seen a ...

Yes same here (8 cores)

Hmmm I've been playing around with the graphics options but these don't seem to change that much. However the slow FPS option makes the game run a lot faster. The FPS seems capped at 30 with this option enabled... not sure why it runs smoother than 40-50 fps, but it seems to do the trick.

Hello,

I bought the game yesterday and started playing right away. I noticed some kind of "lag" when playing, especially when running, but didn't really pay much attention to it (although it's quite hindering).

But today I checked out some let's play videos on youtube and noticed the gaming ...
