dang, thats nuts!

The real goal of Factorio, is to educate all the stupid humans that polluting the planet they live on has serious repercussions.

Well, I had much more luck on a new map last night. My 4th attempt. I tried to focus on pollution a lot more as was suggested. Picked a map which has a high concentration of trees in the start area (so annoying!!), and tried to keep pollution down. Havent cleared any nests yet, but managed to build ...

Here's an example of my Death World Marathon game (0.17.0 - 0.17.4 at that point) - note the low amount of defense turrets :

I think this is the version I did my last DW in, and I found it very easy too.
I'm curious how you'd find 0.18.

Thanks guys, yes it was an early 0.17 version - cant remember what one. I'll have another crack when I get home tonight, and will let you know how badly i fail :lol: As a side note, I must have tried dozens and dozens of different map seeds. 30% of seeds had spawners ON the starting ore patches. Obv...

Ok, I give up. I thought I was a bit of a veteran, but I guess not... Didnt have any issues with 0.17 Death World. Ive tried 0.18 DeathWorld multiple times, 3 different maps, with all the tricks I know. "Getting as far as you can, blueprinting, then reloading from the start, and quickly just follow ...

agreed!

Well, I would like an advanced mode. Not necessarily any of the existing mods, but just an expanded research tree/buildings that is half way between vanilla and any of the mod packs in terms of complexity. Like a stepping stone. It could unlock after completing Normal mode. Gives normal people an in...

I prefer belts... This is tileable, simple, moduled, and beaconed. 0eNqlmduO2jAQht/F14kUnxNepVqtArjUUk5KnFURyrvXQBta7Wwy416xsPhjzp4fbuzYzG4YfRfY4cb8qe8mdvh2Y5O/dHVzfy1cB8cOzAfXsox1dXt/1tRHtmTMd2f3kx348pYx1wUfvHsefzy5vndze3RjfMN6MIx1Nw39GPKja0IEDv0Uj/Xd/aMiKi8zdo0PalmyTxixYlp39nObu8adwuhP+dA3DoCZDZjE...

geez what an old thread!

I am quite surprised by the Poll Results. None over 15%? Really? I expected at least one of the ~10 to be over 50% or at least close to it.
I actually question the validity of the poll results now.

Absolutely +1. This would make the world of difference for QoL

I generally find all experimental branches, even from first release n.01, to be extremely reliable. Of course there are sometimes exceptions, but overall its one of the most stable and well tested games i've ever come across. Probably due to the high level of automated testing they have used. at a g...

try asking in the Mods section, under Bobs. he reads that forum section.

Hi, I'm standing still, being bitten and hit from spitters (no worms), and all i'm wearing is Modular armour with 2x Mk1 Shields, and barely taking any damage. Every few seconds i'll see the shield bar appear and drop down 1-2mm, then immediately recover back to full and disappear half a second late...

Does anyone noticed the game freezing when you hover the mouse over a recipe or technology that unlocks many recipes or uses many ingredients?

I'm guessing you're referring to your mods?

My approach requires blue and grey science: Make a Power Armour, some Mk2 Shields and Mk2 batteries, and lots of personal solar panels, and basically run in to a cluster of nests/worms, flamethrower everything, and run out. Very easy with proper suit and shields on. And nests keep taking fire damage...

Hi, Not sure if reported, or a bug, or ? But my game seems to drop to <30FPS after a certain amount of time. And my based is tiny - only red/green science! And its not related to my PC. I have a 5 rocket per min base on 0.16, and it NEVER drops below 58 FPS. On 0.17 it seems to start out at normal 6...

As I said above, loving 0.17, BUT, one very negative feedback: I very much dislike the middle-click to clear a quickbar item. Not sure if its bug or something that is planned to be fixed, but the middle mouse button has never been used until now, so why has it been introduced for the sole purpose of...

Well i'm loving 0.17, I started a Death World last night, using 100% default settings - didnt change anything. No mods either except LongReach. So far got Red & Green Science going (only 60SPM), a wall around the whole base, and a belt with bullets feeding all the turrets (temporary - I'll swap to a...
