Re: Simple Questions and Short Answers

In what order do inserters unload the cargo of chests if multiple items are held in a single chest? Is it the item slot furthest down (aka most recent)?

Re: I want to play factorio but I lack a goal

If the OP is so inclined, they could get creative with griefing (not my cup of tea, but each to their own) That is terrible advice. The only people who should be griefed are your friends. :lol: I make no assumptions about what motivates the OP I make no assumptions either, I just don't fill my post...

You just need to feed all the biters some fish and make 'em your pets!

Re: I want to play factorio but I lack a goal

its kind of become a hallmark of a modern gamer to basically have no initiative of their own...... Ain't that the truth. Doesn't help that most games nurture that kind of attitude, intentionally or not. which is why theres so much dissonance generated by their desire for "Purpose"/"M...

Re: how do I switch between accumulator and steam/coal based machine?

I understand what you mean, but I've never had a problem with flickering as far as power production goes. Typically if the accumulators are draining, they are draining, and they won't suddenly spike and be above "10%" suddenly. Then again i don't have a bajillion boilers as they are a back...

Re: I want to play factorio but I lack a goal

Kinda what koub said honestly, just do your own thing. Set your own goals, you don't need to care about what anyone else tells you to do. That's why i never play for achievements. Honestly, it's usually bad to check up on forums when you first start playing a game if you don't have any problems whil...

what do ? :? Yes. Or your a crashed engineer who's slowly going mad and are naming bots or keeping biters as pets. There is nothing wrong with wanting a biter as a pet. At any rate, you missed the point of his last post. I swear it's like people don't read on this forum sometimes. Oh wait, that's j...

Ok, but, whatever. Just use storage tanks to your liking and explore what happens. hahaha why are you mad? im just asking because for some items, like rails for example where I need it in bulk, I feel like its less hassle to store it on chest rather than wait for the assembling machine xD Just do y...

Re: [Project Log] I want to turn my Factorio into a Tomagochi

I think that your rant is mistargeted and the fact that the game shows the "enemy" as tiny squishable bugs is a pretty acurate depiction of how real factory function. I don't think the game leads players to believe factories SHOULD function this way but that they DO. Ah, i get most of wha...

Re: [Project Log] I want to turn my Factorio into a Tomagochi

You are personificating the factory to feel less guilty about what you do to the in-game environment ? Quite the opposite actually, I randomly had the idea to make a Tomagochi out of the factory and then i realized the aforementioned rant. As for the rest of your post but i'm sorry i kinda don't un...

[Project Log] I want to turn my Factorio into a Tomagochi

Hey Factoriolings, So, I've decided to start working on turning my Factorio into a Tomagochi (remember those little pocket pets people used to have back in the day?). I kinda know where to begin, but I'm probably going to get stuck programming the screen i'm going to be using. It looks like I'm goin...

Nuclear power is a hell of a thing lol I have a 4.8gw blueprint that takes up a fair chunk of space. But its super tiny compared to the amount of solar that I would need to replace it
Are you telling us that you literally cannot find the space to place a solar plant? :P

Re: why is my oil and petroleum production decrease over time?

For what it's worth i think your setup is expanding just fine. Not everyone enjoys sciencing the crap out of this game, so some of what has been said may fall on deaf ears for not being relatable or relevant to the topic at hand.
