I literally had to use a train to get to oil, car alone wasn't cutting it.

But Drakken's situation looks even worse !
(Unless there's some free oil spot I am missing ?)


I purposefully don't allow oil in my starting area and I also make it so I can't get to oil unless I have to clear out ...

I will try playing Deathworld Marathon on this map. Because I like pain!

Wow, that doesn't look survivable! It would actually be quite fun to see a playthrough of something like this to see how an expert player would handle ...

Thank you. I am going to do it through blueprints before I place the turrets.

I play on crazy biter settings so it would be rather cumbersome to set the priorities after I place the turrets.

Is there a way other than the copy and paste method to set targeting priorities in your turrets?

For instance can you select all turrets in some way?

Not sure if blueprints for turrets can set priorities to entities as you place them on the blueprints as well. Although, I don't allow robots (as ...

I will try playing Deathworld Marathon on this map. Because I like pain!

I would please love some input from someone with early access and/or experience in Space Age. I am hoping to avoid hundreds of hours of grueling gameplay to realize I screwed myself from the get go because I didn't understand how the other planets work.

I play the game and make videos with Factorio ...

Thank you so much for the information!

I know that some console commands cancel achievements while others like checking evolution do not.

What I don't know is if changing the game speed cancels them? I would think not, as it will just make playing harder. However, I am in late game with over 48 hours invested and in a stable safe place ...

Thanks for the post. As I keep upping the difficulty of the game it is good to see how to maximize energy output of the resources I can actually get my hands on.

Nobody is saying the expansion should cost a million dollars. That is being extreme. People are saying the $30 price, and then some, are worth it for a game like this. I agree with them. Nobody would be discussing the price at all if it weren't for some people being outraged at $30. Which is also ...

Thank you. I did a simpler search and got way too many results to go through!

In my current game, I just noticed my green circuits only cost 8 copper wire instead of the 10 it used to cost to make "expensive" green circuits.

I have no idea when this change was implemented, and my old blueprints still have a 5 copper wire to 1 green circuit ratio.

Looks like I need to do ...

Even though I figured it out early in the post, this was a good prank. I didn't know about the Rick roll until I came to the forums...

Well played.

Now get us some more expansion info! I'm dying to get some hints as to what is coming.

You can't liquefy coal if you don't have heavy oil firsthand. At that point, you can do blue tech science.

That was my point. Coal liquefaction is "impractical" because it would be much more useful if you didn't need oil to research it.

I will just put out there coal liquefaction technology which requires oil (blue science) to research. Coal liquefaction research should only require red and green (perhaps black) science to discover so you can bridge your way to oil if it is not nearby.

Thank you to the developers for making this statement! It is not easy to take a stance like this, even when it is the absolute right thing to do.

I see the majority of the statements in support of Putin are coming from a few misinformed people on the very far right. I, for one, will not engage in a ...

As was mentioned, I think there is going to be plenty for everyone with the update. Factorio is such a deep game. Whether you play with biters on, off, or at insane difficulty like I enjoy, there is so much you can do. You can play with bots, or circuits, or trains, or belts. You can play with one ...

Thank you for the reply! I have to be particularly careful not to build near biter bases in my deathworld marathon game as the outposts constantly trigger the biters in the bases and those free biters are eating up my ammo supply so much so I need to go back and try it again.

I know that pollution is absorbed by nests and used to create biters/spitters so they can attack the source of pollution.

However, if you kill the bugs around a nest, even in an area where there is no pollution those biters and spitters seem to still respawn to defend the nest.

The question is ...

I remember the other thread. I didn't mean for this thread to rehash those old discussions. In reality, I just wanted to find the marathon costs.

I ended up beating the map with the 600% frequency of biter bases. So... now I have reduced the starting area to the minimum 17% size. It sounds extreme ...
