I've dropped the blueprint string below in case there's something I'm just not realizing about it. Hoping someone can point ou...

I've been trying to nail a solo TINS (There Is No Spoon) run on pure default settings, so I've ran into what you consider the bottleneck too. It's even worse when you're trying to get everything done in 8 hours. R/G science runs for ages though while you setup (~2 hours worth at 1 pack / 1.66s). In ...

It works out to around 300-400 transport belts worth of distance for me, roughly. This is...

Hello everyone! I've been playing Factorio for a while, but never needed to log into the boards before, just been lurking. However, I was hoping some additional eyes on my expectations and computations for my TINS (There is No Spoon) run would be advantageous. Short history: My science is taking far...
