The game I'm thinking about is related to WoW in a similar way as to how Factorio is related to Minecraft.

That's some exquisite kenning-like description.
Can't wait to see which post-industrial revolution would follow industrial revolution which Factorio made

We all are.

On-topic, I have to admit, I'm guilty.
FFFs jebaited me into thinking that three mid-game planets are equally challenging.
Gleba clearly isn't. It's a game on its own.
I... honestly, don't know how to feel about this.
From one point of view, even without spoilage mechanics risk ...

Define "cheese".

Promethium science pack needs:
- Quantum processor which is built from exclusive components from 4 planets (but, somehow, not Uranium, although without Uranium crafting Aquilo part is a VERY tricky task...)
It's a pure volumetric logistics challenge which eventually can be ...

1x1 solar panels save lives.

Having an option to put exoskeletons sideways migh be nice though.
Toolbelts are not panacea in current version - vertical rows are a problem too. Sometimes extra accumulators are not quite desirable.

Wish granted.
With this mod
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/car-map-icon
you'll confuse car map icon with locomotive map icon.
*monkey paw curls*

(aaaand, here comes headache for next few hours... simply swapping car's minimap icon is... significantly harder, if you don't know what exactly you're ...

Elbow grease :|
Which gives more flexibility in SOME cases. Generally that's why I'm proposing request groups.

You can fill shipment order group manually from the very same window with space platform's automatically formed shipment order.
You can fill shipment order from your own inventory, double ...

In map mode, you can at least place ghost items in a silo that's set for manual (will be delivered by bots). That works almost everywhere, including chests and assemblers.

You shoudln't, probably.
Use requester chests w/ common or fast inserters set to grab cap 1.
It'll do everything except ...

Seen that guide. Can't make heads or tails of it. It REALLY needs sample all-in-one setup. I have a weird feeling that that guide is not about two-way trains but about two-way rails, which is a completely different can of worms...

I'd be happy to see a platform configuration which is able to survive this trip (especially on automatic thrust, no manual/circuit auto adjustments on the way) and fail to survive on orbit.
Well, there ARE edge cases, like utilizing rare and very hard to pull off tech called "braking with space ...

The islands are too small to get dedicated trains for all needed goods.
Bidirectional trains.
Surprisingly, there are no dedicated guide to it.
But, as a rule of a thumb, it is enough to:
1. Place a single railway from point A to point B.
2. Place two train stops at the ends of that railway ...

This bad boy
https://wiki.factorio.com/Power_switch
can do anything you need, including this specific suggestion.
A small gizmo for controlling it, dedicated to reading current time of day's power output, is technically doable with some unconventional usage of a solar panel, an accumulator (to ...

Drops from rocks (and Gleba's spoilage trees, and Fulgoran vaults, and other entities not affected by resource richness worldgen settings) are classified as loot, not as mining/crafting/otherwise ledger'able output, no?

You can leave tanks (with one specific research) as controllable body doubles on planets.
Tanks have equipment grid now. AND (as of v2.0.20 which went Release recently) tanks don't need elaborate contraptions to refuel remotely.
Personal roboports are cheap. And priciest logi/construction robot ...

Well, yes, they can spawn (and spawn too damn close to starting area to my taste - but it's too subjective).

It is prudent to grab an armor with you on your first space voyage to anywhere since armor is one of VERY few things you can get shipped on your body. And armor takes whole rocket to ship it ...

Cicrular belt is not a 100% failsafe measure against this specific problem.
Actually, I don't think that any in-game mechanism can be utilized to pull things off stuck inserters.

There's one exception though. You can try to flip crafting machine's recipe into something that accepts spoilage as ...

Local moderation team don't mind stray bug reports ending up in technical issues, vice versa. So unless it's something outrageous like "my Ritmix mouse LED do not react to Factorio events" posted in Technical Issues - you're fine.

I think early game on gleba should be made significantly easier, because it's very hard and frustrating to start without having good supply from other planets


Maybe for me enemies was hard because I played with deathworld setting.

"Make the game easier because I can't handle hardmode which I ...

Did landmines mechanics changed in 2.0 ?
For some reasons, spitter raiding groups gathering for attack are detecting AND destroying much more of my landmines in 2.0 than in 1.1 .
I'm under impression that armed landmines' invisibility is stealth-nerfed somehow.

Please understand the duality of Quality.
You either can or cannot afford higher Quality tiers.
If you can afford it or (at the very least) reveling in gamba won't become the end of your playthrough (which, by extent, means that you can afford it anyway) - you're fine.
If you can't afford it ...

I see at least six rafts on your last screenshot (unless all these are wrigglers from spoiled eggs).
Rafts do drop eggs upon destruction. These are REALLY hard to spot though. And have to be picked up from the ground manually (OR through indiscriminate Deconstruction Planner usage).


How can I ...
