Auto Centering Turret upgrade

I turned peaceful mode off on my factory and immediately noticed a minor problem with the turrets. When you build a turret, you can rotate it so the gun points a certain direction. After being built, you can't rotate them by hitting R to make the gun point a particular direction. They can rotate as ...

Re: How to get the blue science pack?

Don't think there is a 'most efficient' way as every game will be different.

If resources are no problem and you have a lot of space, you could set up automated production for blue science packs.

Re: depot

I definitely agree with you. A depot or warehouse would be great. Chest storage works in the meantime. But you'll need to separate the items first. Numerous chests with fast inserters on a fast or express belt make up for only using 1 inserter to add and 1 inserter to remove. That picture is one of ...

Re: Illegal copies and youtube

True, but the most common issue with pirated games is them not starting and anybody with a bit of pirating experience will know it isn't a game bug and be able to easily fix such an issue, even find out about it ahead of time. Like that topic you posted a link to on page 1, his problem could be easi...

Re: Illegal copies and youtube

Also keep in mind that some people who pirate a game later buy it if they enjoy it. I wont lie, I pirated the game when I first heard about it (didn't know there was a free trial), then bought 2 days later. I pirate most games to check them out before buying them since I get bored of most games pret...

By the way: the game is great!
Chests can store a lot depending on how you set them up.

For example:
120,000 iron ore stored in 50 chests

Another one:

Forgetting that you placed an electric mine in the middle of a road to get rid of some ore and accidentally running over it with a tank :P

Re: Loader Poll - Trying to get an idea of what the opinions are

How is it more elegant to have them limited by the devs? If they end up being chest only, then anybody who wants to use them for rail cars is now forced to play the game the way the chest people want to play it. Whereas if up to the player, both parties would be happy instead of only one party. One...

Re: Loader Poll - Trying to get an idea of what the opinions are

They should at least use electricity. As for all the other options, any player that wants them to act in these methods could simply only use them in those methods. The player having to impose artificial constraints on something because it's op is not as elegant as having it relatively balanced upon...

Re: Annoyances associated with Factory building

I think it does. I had all my steam engines shut down yesterday. Ran all over trying to figure out why solid fuel wasn't getting to the boilers. Plenty of water. Pumpjacks had good sources. Chem labs weren't running. Storage tanks were empty. Refineries were full of light oil. wtf. turned out one pi...

Re: The Ctrl+V Game

some simple math that I was doing for my base yesterday morning.
Based on realistic values though and no clue how accurate it is regarding Factorio's use of power.
41,000KW = 144,000 MJ = 28,800 Basic Accumulators

Re: Illegal copies and youtube

You can find youtube videos like that for anything that can be pirated. Games, Apps, Music, Movies. Search youtube for a popular movie and count how many only show a preview and have a link in the description to see the full version on a site full of spam, or require you to download some 'special' s...

Re: Quantified lack of sleep

Pretty much the same here. lol
Since getting the game last week I've been down to 4-6 hours of sleep a night instead of my old 6-8 hours.

No big deal though since I'm between jobs currently (and no, i wasn't fired due to lack of performance due to lack of sleep :P ).
