This construction in the main menu background gameplay doesn't make sense. The circled asteroid collector outputs the asteroid onto both sides of the belt thanks to the splitter but the underground blocks off the second lane from going through. This is a useless ...

We need more juicy uses for late game science besides repeatables. Disabling Gleba pack spoilage with a Promethian-tier research feels appropriate.

To an extent though this is a consistent problem regardless of spoilage. You have to rotate through the various planet researches or you'll get stuck ...

I've definitely taken damage on my sides. I suspect it was from an asteroid that was destroyed and one of the pieces gained a horizontal velocity.

You can set a filter on individual cargo wagon inventory slots. So make 50% iron and 50% copper, or 30%/70%, whatever you like. Do it by middle clicking the slot.

Get like 20 levels of repeatables and legendary uranium ammo turrets should destroy huge asteroids.

You don't need this complex setup, if you employ enough trains and generally make sure your production is slightly higher than your consumption, so all stations eventually fill up their buffers, so there isn't any station that is most empty.

In this scenario, a station running empty is a sign to ...

Hello. Here's what I'd like to do:

1. My unloading stations tally up the items in their chests. Then divide by the maximum capacity, get out a "fullness" value in %. So 2k iron out of 10k iron storage would leave me with a value of 20 iron. Easy.
2. Convert that to an "emptiness" value. So now we ...

Item wildcards can ONLY work once a train is loaded with an item. This means your choices are either:

1. Switch to circuit wildcards and use radars to send signals around.
2. Rename ALL of your loading stations to the same thing (for example I use "2x4 Loading" as my station name for cargo trains ...

My problem with landmines is they need roboports. Roboports need a fully automated tileable defense station with a train configured to supply them with whatever they need. I don't want to do that work and if I do it then I'm probably so lategame that I don't really need the efficiency of landmines ...

I'll constantly be doing something, or just walking around, and my screen gets flashbanged because the mouse cursor passes over either a roboport or a logistics chest. It'd be far more comfortable playing if this didn't happen. Have an option for it to only appear if I have a roboport or a logistics ...

+1

In the meantime currently I have all of my ammo back up into my cargo bay (to a limited quantity) and have the ship wired to do things based on having enough reserve ammo, I'd recommend that as a way to work around this.


My immediate use case for this is when any rocket turret on the front of ...

iirc the devs said they will never add quality effects for trains, because it’s hard/annoying to replace working trains in a running base. And trains can already be upgraded by quality fuels and networks built for larger sizes.


Seems like a really weird take. What if I get quality before trains ...

I find mass space mining and construction kind of cheesy and annoying since its infinitely scalable and clutters the ship list respectively. But I respect that doing so is an interesting alternative way to play the game and stone being the one resource you can't get in space feels logically ...

It feels a lot better if you are spaghetti-ing and want to boost throughput with a few cheeky beacons barely fitting in somewhere.

For lines of beacons I don't really see how it changes much aside from being a gentle nerf, it's not like if you run with half as many beacons you can really use that ...

What's the problem with adding more lines and bringing in more coal to make more stuff? That's kind of the general Factorio loop. Unless the problem is that you can't get coal due to Demolishers?

When it comes to modules make sure you're using them correctly. There's not much reason to use both ...

You can "inject" at any place in a bus, simply have a splitter send materials down both ways. The only issue is that you can't inject at multiple points well unless you turn your bus into a loop, or you're fine with only one direction getting the full potential throughput. I do this with red/blue ...

Flame turrets feel a little unnecessary now for standard Deathworld Marathon with the removal of expensive mode. Granted you can always crank settings up as high as you want and set research multiplier to 100x if you want to make things as hard as possible. And previously even the smallest flow ...

Kind of makes sense for structures since they are perfect insulators in Factorio Land, but for pipes its kinda hilarious, its just a long... pipe... where the liquid flows, if the liquid isn't frozen it should work.

I think it'd be fine if Gleba just unlocked both Epic and Legendary.

Unlocking Epic is kind of annoying to me because if I want to make Legendary items then I feel like setting up just an Epic quality manufactory is a waste of my time. The only value of unlocking Epic on Gleba to me is being able ...

Options I can think of:

1. Plop down a tank, go out and shoot nests. Obviously higher tech stuff would help too but the tank alone should do well enough with some rocket fuel as long as you don't get stuck. If you have some equipment to throw on it like shields or exoskeleton that'd make it very ...
