Re: Planning vs Winging it

I usually do not read guides as it is more enjoyable to figure things out by myself. As for planning - well, when I was building my coal -> solid fuel plant, I just did some quick ratios, but then looked at what is happening. Is the light oil tank getting full? Add more light oil->solid fuel chemic...

Need help with Multiplexers

So, I need help with multiplexing, and the problem i have, (as far as i'm concerned) can only be solved with multiplexing. I've been trying to follow this post: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=193&t=61722 ...but it doesn't entirely make sense to me. What's worse is i know how multipl...

Re: Planning vs Winging it

Also, it may be intimidating for new or inexperienced players who see really cool pictures or videos of other people's factories that have been streamlined to the max or have some very intricate layout that uses all sorts of things in it's system. However, some of these things are done by people who...

Re: Planning vs Winging it

There is no winning Factorio, Factorio wins you.

But seriously though, I'd put more priority on actually enjoying the game. I mean, if you're not having fun, then why are you playing?

It may just be me (but probably not), but the Spidertron really reminds me of Konosuba. ;)

Re: Six legs good, Eight legs bad!

That's mean. I imagine an arachnophobist literally throwing their smartphone away from them at certain points in the video. Judging from the comments, arachnophobes either find it hilarious, terrifying, or both. The idea is that the hilarity would help defuse the fear. Apparently, jumping spider vi...

Re: Six legs good, Eight legs bad!

[...]And just looking at how spiders are used in media - horror, fantasy, etc - i would assume that spider = bad is a common association even for non-phobic people. Lord of the Rings anyone?[...] Well we all know the media's job is to oversensationalize and overdramatize in order to brainwash the m...

Re: Hating The Circuit Network

Now another thing that happened that I want to figure out is strobe lights. Flashing lights, I had at one time that light pulse green when condition was true, but no idea how I did it. I was working on another project and I accidentally figured out strobe lights. Very simple. Here's the link: https...

Strobe Lights

V14.23 so no blueprints. So, I accidentally figured out how to make strobe lights while working on another project, and I thought I'd share it since a quick forum search netted no results on functioning non-mechanical strobe lights. I figured out how to make two different models of strobe, and Vers...

Simple and Compact Accumulator Power Meter

A quick disclaimer, I'm working with v14.23, so I can't post blueprints on here. Sorry for the inconvenience. Fortunately this one is small and easy to set up if you wanted to use it anyways. So, I made this thing and i wanted to share it with you guys. It's just a very simple and compact Accumulat...

Re: power switch at night solar / accumulators / steam

I think you're making it a little more complicated than it needs to be, unless I'm misunderstanding something. Here's what I did. Factorio Accumulator Controller.png Red wire is hooked up to my base grid, which is bringing in the Accumulator signal. Green Decider is set to Accumulator < 25% for me, ...

Things like this define sandbox games to me. Snakes and Ladders in Minecraft (Hypixel), A semi truck in KSP (Hazard-ish), and now Tetris in Factorio. What's next! :shock:
I want to turn my Factory into a Tamagochi :3
