What about making spawners upgrade, e.g. a tier one spawner turns into a tier 2 spawner and so on.

You could even make it that they only ever upgrade, so new spawners are tier 1 and existing spawners upgrade to tier 2-3-4. The core of a base (nest?) would then be tier 4 spawners, radiating outward ...

It bothers me that you can carry a complete train or tank in your pocket and just pop it out when you need it. Also, the little train icon when dropping a locomotive on the ground is strange compared to the size of the actual thing. (and the idea of a train wagon full of locomotives or a car trunk ...

Sorry for posting a dupe. I checked the "frequent suggestions" post and did a forum search for trash, and neither gave a (quick) result...

I guess it was too obvious

I thought it would be interesting (and logistically challenging) to add a "trash" category of items, i.e. items that are produced by workshops that you don't want but need to get rid of to allow the work to continue.

For example:
- smelting could produce "tailings". waste rock, that need to be ...

First time I finished the game, second serious factory.

The tile is called stone-path, not -brick. Though the game really shouldn't crash like that, you should report a bug about that.

Cool, thanks. I figured it was my own fault by meddling with the internals, but I'll submit a report. Thanks again!

@Smarty Thanks :). I'll post some screenies when I ...

Thanks again for helping. Placing the concrete worked perfectly. Interestingly, after removing some concrete that I didn't want, it removed the nearby water as well.

I also wanted to place some stone bricks, but I get segfaults when I try either

Cool! I haven't played with lua yet, so this is a nice starter.

I'll sacrifice a chest of prime solar panels to placate Ford (or Armok )

Thanks!

I've been going OCD on paving my base, paving everything with concrete and using brick paving to mark roads. I think the result is quite pretty:

However, it really bothers me that I can't do anything with the waterfronts, as there are quite a couple of lakes in my ...

I actually do it the other way around: I connect my refineries to a storage system, and have a pump that pumps into the cracking plants if the pressure in the tank > 250 (depending on how many tanks are connected). It is a simple red wire from the tank to the pump, with a condition "light/heavy ...

I haven't used beacons and modules at all yet, so I was wondering what the consensus on using them is.

This is what makes sense to me (more or less in order of priority):

* High-end recipes such as science pack 3/4, advanced circuits should get productivity modules, since there they give most ...

Factorio 0.12.17 (Build 17307, linux64)

mods:

I started a new game a couple days back, after reaching (but not completing) the end game a bit too easily on my first real play-through.

I wanted to get more train action, and spice up the difficulty a little bit, so I added RSO (to have less nearby ore) and ScienceCostTweaker to add higher ...

I've been playing factorio for a couple weeks, and I'm trying to optimize some of my designs. I play with smart trains, RSO, and FARL to get some more rail action.

I started by building basic roundabouts for my rails, with a signal going on and off the roundabout, but the whole roundabout as a ...
