IIRC it was not only the extra techs and sulfur that made explosives expensive for me, but also the required skin ?

Wow, super impressive, congrats ! You *can* deal with blue biters by forcing them to despawn and/or using a sacrificial turret/radar. (Though it's possible that expansion parties use a different logic ?) Ah yeah, I can see how by *really* doubling down on the pollution absorption aspect you could co...

Hmm, no upgrade planner compatibility ? (To switch colors...)

[...] 2.) Pollution is an inescapable issue for all burner fuels and it would have made sense to explicitly say this in the article. At least I did link to my comparison of coal/solar/nuclear power where it is discussed at length. [...] Niiice ! (A shame it's «wasted» on reddit though... if only be...

Finally, an opportunity to cut corners ! :lol: [...] Also, a range boost would be nice, since it's not really logical for something that is spitted to fly more distance than a bullet. [...] Nauvis' "aliens" are not logical anyway. Gameplay >>> Realism. I meant flamer "Spit" — poo...

Great Article, and especially, great diagrams ! 0.) I tend to do my power chains in Helmod (now that the power calculations have been mostly fixed ) with 1 GW in mind (for the nice conversion 1 GW = 1 GJ/s, the default Helmod time interval being 1s), unless maybe if I'm doing «Ingredient input» chai...

Congratulations !! Can't see the spaghetti from such a height ! :lol: Well yeah, it would be weird if recipes that just generate resources anywhere would be *more* efficient than the ones that require mining finite resources in specific spots ! Any reason you would need so much crude oil, specifical...

[*]Fixed an issue with item-with-inventory extending inventories and quickbars. (https://forums.factorio.com/102095) Alternatively is there a mod out that that allows players to add more toolbar-like slots (allowing mouse access to items and/or blueprints. I don't care about keyboard shortcuts). ht...

I'm guessing epilepsy-triggering risks ?

P.S.: No more fish «event horizon» !

Well, ideally, either :
- this recipe shouldn't be available without FE
- this building should be available without FE
- this recipe should use another building without FE : looks like it used to be the washer, but it doesn't have enough fluid inputs ?

This is great news ! I was sad when bitcoin support was removed from Factorio in 0.17... bitcoin_in_factorio.png Back then, we had to work hard to dig rocks, hoping for a bitcoin to randomly drop from a biter hiding there ! bitcoin_realtime_hyena_world.png It's nice to have crypto back in the game !...

These two recipes are supposed to go in pY Fusion Energy's Centrifugal Pan..?

P.S.: Is the above what happens without pY FE ??

Currently, the more advanced Multipurpose pipes are functionally better in every way than the Niobium pipes. (And are also cheaper !) Sadly, they : - don't look nearly as great, - are awkward in terms of figuring out which direction they are pointing, and to distinguish underground and regular pipes...

Frankly I'd love an option to start in "check mods mode" where all it does is check for mods that could be upgraded and offer the upgrade. I mean, you have to restart anyway so why spend all that time loading graphics and stuff that won't get used? But +1 to this. It's a pain as-is and wo...

Thanks a lot ! (My nullius game folder is on another PC, I'll have to check that specific one later...) A more involved, less important issue is that for instance the combustion turbine mk1 only takes up to 750°C combustion mixture. For me, it seems that all tiers of combustion turbine take up to 10...

Yeah, all those options and having to figure out what is the best path forward for your situation is what makes pY great ! (And the art of course !) (And also sometimes maddening, when you realize that you forgot about a dependency item required for a building !) Congratulations !! YAFC is not reall...

This probably deserves its own thread, but is there a way to have resources more staggered than starting/non-starting ? I don't remember exactly the early game, and it might change with Alternative Energy anyway, but IIRC titanium (?) and especially rare earths could be further out ? (Roughly : star...

Is it really an issue ? Propene seems to eat only like 2% of the lead plates in the combined silver/lead smelting with Lead processing 3 chain. (Are you trying to "power through" silver with lower tech ? BTW, Soot is a verrry nice source for early silver & gold !) (And there *are* othe...

W00t, might be just a coincidence, but I have been recently getting very annoying lag when zooming in/out of the map view, and this issue seems to be gone now ! :D [...] Frankly for me...I feel kind of stuck. I have 5,4kSPM 60UPS factory, but I cannot enlarger it, because the UPS would fall (ok, I c...
