... reason why people prefers turret creep is that is not just cheap: is absolutely free of any cost and requires no production line at all (since 2 assemblers on piercing bullets can hardly be called production line). As opposed to capsules which do their job but have a respectable cost. This kill...

I post this idea in a responce here : https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=38683&start=20 But I figured id submit it here so it doesn't get lost. I was thinking if hives Die / take alot of damage from turrets vs something else, maybe they can evolve more specialized anti-turret d...

I think part of the reason why people turret creep is because its was the most effective form of clearing out bases, especially when you are pushing out your main wall. I will say, since the flame thrower came out, and tank modules, etc, I find myself doing less turret creep. However, I still do fin...

@kovarex I was even considering adding option that is not realistic (at least with the current technology), but it could add a lot of interesting gameplay possibilities. Imagine that you could store the heat in some kind of item. Maybe some kind of special metal with huge heat capacity. That would m...

Not sure were to Post this... so doing it here.. I'm trying to figure out how to enable the Pump-Jacks to get water from anywhere (like they used too). But... I like that I have to find a special resources for the Lithium Water... I Know there is a config setting to enable pump-jacks get water &...

I've personally done both Bots and Belts for unloading and Loading.. Currently though I've found belts w/ stack insertions to fill my needs. The main difference is now I have 3 stops at my main base, (CopperPlates, IronPlates, Oil). Additionally I a Standalone Copper Smelting base, and Iron Smelting...

Depends on what you mean by “path”. The problem here was that there was a big amount of biters waiting for the pathfinder to become available. I made it so that they'll give up eventually.

Sweet, Thanks, Can't wait.

I have been playing around with belt scanner and haven't figured out anything usefully with it in pulse mode. In hold mode, I can make an input lane going into a splitter get priority but that is all I could think of currently

Any ideas on practical usage?

but then my game is no longer eligible for achievements... which is what I'm primarily doing with this save :P Guess I will have to go manually clear them all out.. which I don't want to actualy do since that will raise the evolution high at that point Thank you though. I'm hoping I don't need to st...

In my current save, I went out an explored in my power armor, and pissed off every bitter in the process... After i explored good amount of the area around me my FPS dropped from 50+ to 34, additionally, I swear the game is simulating much slower, everything seems to move really slow now. Anyways, h...

Try bobs mods..get like all of them installed. Just turn off God modules...
The game is deeper and more challenging...but then you really steam roll in the end.

When I start off, I usually just scatter a few turrets around my base. Later on, I wall of completely, with turrets spread around the parameter, but with extra at the corners. Any place they repeat attack, I put one more there, and continue on that way. Also, try to start in a forest. Yes its a pain...

Finaly got Achievement, went for a few others too at the same time:

Hello again.. So i'm playing with my friend and I am currently the Host. I've noticed a fair amount of lag, especially when driving vehicles. Anytips I can do to reduce my own lag, and my friends? (just one person is connected besides myself) I'm currently using port forwarding so he can connect eas...

Seriously, thank you for having a Multiplayer Pause button. Pretty much every game out there refuses (for what ever reasons) to not allow a multiplayer game to pause. As a father with small kids, not being able to pause a multiplayer game with friends is extremely annoying. So again, thanks for that.

Your avatar (and the Biters), are nothing more than a time-sink(Look it up), and thus detract from a very enjoyable experience of using your brain to come up with ideas and better ways of doing things. I personally feel like biters enhance the game. With out them I would not be challenged enough (I...

Concept: An up-gradable, modular low to medium tear utility vehicle, that aids in laying railroad, among other things. Why? Provide a more "factorio" way of making outposts and laying rail before power armor and bots...added bonus of deconstruction help as well. Look like a giant spider (l...

This is a very solid concept and Idea. Get it in already

I'm not really a fan of predefined classes in sandboxes. While classes can make sense for multiplayer, it hurts the single player experience in my opinion. I currently like how 7 days to die does their Experience / Leveling system. In a group of friends, classes are an emergent behavior. For example...

Likewise, red sceince packs take 5 seconds and consume 1 iron gear, so 1 red science factory should consume 0.1 iron gears per second. Your Math is off. 1 iron gear per 5 seconds = 0.2 gears per second. 1/5 = 0.2 A grey Factory produces 1 gear per Second So you need 2 Grey Gear Factories, to keep u...
