worse would be to be surrounded by the perfect spawn, but be in the water and unable to move

Anyone interested in playing on the resource depletion map that -root was fixing for me. Map string is : >>>AAALABUAAQABAAYAAAAEAAAAY29hbAEBAAoAAABjb3BwZXItb3Jl AQEACQAAAGNydWRlLW9pbAEBAAoAAABlbmVteS1iYXNlAQIBCAAAAGl yb24tb3JlAQEABQAAAHN0b25lAQEAPzPevH03AADEUQAAAAAAAAAAAA AFAcu2hRA=<<< (as a side no...

Thanks that should help a ton

Once you hit advanced oil processing what's a good ratio of chemical factories.

More heavy to light , or more light to petro than heavy?

For example 4 heavy to light and 4 light to petro or more of one than the other?

I wish I could mod.

It was my hope someone might run with the idea.

Basically this is a half baked mod idea which I'm not sure anyone would even like. You control a caveman who's first aspiration is to research fire then work his way up to metal processing and eventually electric and the "normal" game. You'd start off not being able to use iron , copper or...

Ditto on that update error.

Don't know if there is a similar thread, but basically pics of strange ore configurations.

Heh and I thought the purpose of factorio was to become more lazy as you progress

Do I understand it right that what you want is items on a belt going around the corner without getting more spacing between them? I don't think any system in this game is quite perfect but if you're not familiar with loss less corners watch Negative Root's fixit series. can you give me a link to th...

I've been cross connecting boilers so all boilers feed to all steam engines. Doing this with the thought that this would improve water and heat flow distribution. (also include occasional extra water pump to bump pressure) Now I'm not so sure, any thoughts on this method? Hope you can see from the i...

Not sure what exactly you would call it, but something like a splitter that would emulate a zero loss corner without having to build all the stuff for it. So instead of having to put up 2 splitters and 3? belts you would have 1 item that did the same thing. (similar resource cost of course) Just bas...

Trains are the most frustrating part, by the time you finish setting up the train the ore you want has already been mined out. Actually one idea I was milling about was to move the factory to the new resource node using a train and a bunch of cars to move all the chests, factories etc. Not sure how...

Was thinking to do a resource starvation challenge. Basically set everything to lowest levels except water and starting area. Water could go one of 2 ways, either starting area only or very small, not sure which would be more limiting as most peeps go solar. Starting area would be largest available ...

Looked through some of the stuff being worked on at the moment and saw some very nice things in the works, kudos to anyone that can do this kind of stuff :). Anyone know if a "Mega factory" would be feasible? Basically it would be a larger than normal factory capable of making more than on...
