Re: 1st Long game

Your factory looks very well made! Can I see your production numbers?

EDIT: Whoops, nevermind! The image just didn't load initially. How about power and pollution? I see those tree plots from that one mod and I'm curious what kind of impact they make.

Re: The motherland must expand!

So beautiful.... *drools*

Do you have any pictures of the various sections of it? It's so big, I want to see what all it has!

Re: More Power! More Resources! More Factory! My First Facto

It's all mine! MWAHAHAHAHA! 9 or so Oil deposits and a few more within easy reach! Not a bad haul in Orbs, either! http://i.imgur.com/mlnb9xb.png The first two biter nests didn't put up much of a fight. http://i.imgur.com/iuTntZz.png The third hive, the largest of the three, actually did some damage...

Re: Carpet Bombing

I do indeed use a blueprint! However, there is only a single landmine in the blueprint. I can't place the blueprint unless ever object within the proposal is non-colliding with existing objects on the map, so having more than one landmine in the blueprint makes it harder to work them in between the ...

Re: More Power! More Resources! More Factory! My First Facto

I'm fully operational again! http://i.imgur.com/PwUoEwl.png (click for fullsize.) With a little supplemental solar, my solid fuel lines are backed up to their boxes! Apparently, the image I captured of my pumpjack wasn't up to speed yet. When I looked at it today, it read like this: http://imgur.com...

Re: More Power! More Resources! More Factory! My First Facto

Sure, what the hell. The thing's pretty messy and full of old or abandoned sections, but knock yourself out. It's just the .zip file from the save folder, right? There's nothing else that's need? It's 35 MB, so I had to use an old MediaFire account from my Dwarf Fortress days. Let me know if you hav...

Re: More Power! More Resources! More Factory! My First Facto

I've thought about my power predicament. Even after redirecting the entire eastern supply, as well as finding and carpet bombing my way to 5 more wells, 25 wells are not enough to completely protect me from a power death spiral. I'm not exactly enthused about redirecting my energies towards vast sol...

Carpet Bombing

Best defense is a good offense and there's no kill like overkill! http://i.imgur.com/K3uDwS0.png (Imgur Image Album linked) I haven't seen any posts (although I haven't had a chance to checkout videos yet...) about a carpet bombing technique using landmines, so I thought I'd share! It's certainly no...

Re: More Power! More Resources! More Factory! My First Facto

I've mostly stayed away from solar because 1. I thought it would take up a lot of space (not much of a concern now) 2. I rather like the "Dr. Robotnik-esque Polluted Wasteland" aesthetic. But, it sounds like I may need to switch for practical reasons. Most of the smelting is done by steel ...

...is getting out of hand. 100+ hours in, and the sprawl is consumes so much that feeding it fast enough is almost unmanageable. (Sorry for the image heavy thread. The images get cutoff, so click them to see the full image at Imgur.) 11 dry wells aren't enough to supply the 164 Steam engines I need ...
