I have tried turret creep on maps like this in the past. It always failed me because my reflexes are not what they were 40 years ago. The number of biters, spitters, and worms in these nests end up killing a lot of guns and the ammo with them. I truly wish there was a command for inserting 10 ammo ...

Do you waste that many ammo intentionally?

When spawner absorbs pollution it puts absorbed amount into buffer. When spawner births another bug it don't subtract pollution immediately: pollution will be subtracted from buffer when and only IF most ...

Yellow ammo seems to be more cost efficient for the majority of the cases. There are few cases where red ammo is vastly superior, namely when red ammo exceeds the flat reduction but yellow does not. For example, against big biters at physical projectile damage 2 red ammo is a 885% improvement over ...

I can't understand if you talking about early balance (you told about early factory setup) or about mid-to-late balance (you told about repeatable weapon damage techs).
In early game turrets are just bug attractors giving you time to move over and kill bugs with grenades.
Since mid game laser ...

I know the 2.046 red ammo recipe change isn't as big of a deal for most factorio players. But for me, this is game changing.

I just came back to the game after a 9 month hiatus. I was streaming a Maxed out Enemies Deathworld Marathon Desert map from last year where I have run out of iron and ...

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.
