Bitter are so weak with the new equipment. A few tweaks and this goes away. Bob's already got resistant biters to different attacks. He just needs to increase those resistances and the "easy" becomes complex. For example, he could make some biters very resistant to physical. This would li...

The only place I currently have for sorting ores is the receiving station from galena mines (mining galena gets lead and nickel ore). I will smart insert lead up out of the wagons and nickel down out of the wagons. Even that is a bit of a process since nickel and lead production is not balanced and ...

I like your thinking - Here is my current attempt at a Bobactory - Up to level 4 modules - more to come module dept.jpg All 4 circuits produced here in the electronics department electronics dept.jpg Some chemical production, science production and on the right ore processing and the beginning of my...

a multi wire would be helpful for connecting multiple outposts back to the main base. Other than that, I think complicated wired connections are beyond most Factorio players and for the experienced, they are fairly cumbersome.

8 frame sample - its a bit rough and not correct but works ;) http://johnsmith.ktec.de/factorio/mods/support/5dims/sea-ta.gif which one like you more rusty or clean ? - or some color-variant ? I'm no expert (as will be made clear :) ), but I've wanted to model the steam piston wheel assembly from o...

1+1=10?

I'd like the smart station to be independent of the Engine UI. Instead, I'd like the station marker to be "Smart" like this: - Smart Station marker would be wired-in or connected to the bot network just like a smart inserter. In addition, it would be connected to the stationed train and wa...

I like my switch better - shows the physical disconnect of the cables

There should be teal and magenta logistic chests. I don't like the purple.

Checked the numbers using the 8 assembler 3 blue science as the desired rate (1.2 red, green and blue science produced per second). Here are the bottlenecks: - need over 23 iron plates per second - express belt - need more than 7 steel furnaces - need 4 assembler 3's for circuit production - need mo...

Can you create a "network within a network" using the colored wires? As in, force a smart inserter to only focus on the one chest it's linked to? Yes - but that will require a red or green wire connection. Also note, the smart inserter conditions are "AND" conditions. As an exam...

An operating system is only as good as how well it plays Factorio - Look what you have done developers!

Xyfi - You may be one of the first. Please let the rest of us know.

Smart Inserters would probably help.

Connect to unwanted gas pipe, add power - done. Unwanted gasses are voided.

I'd like something like the void pump for sodium hydroxide. Can't find a useful game product that is produced from NaOH (other than alumina) and we need significant amounts of H-Cl (which requires an equal production of NaOH). Maybe create a surface applied soap that slows down enemies? Or, find mor...

Something i would like to see, is using laser magazines for the laser turrets. Tier 1 laser turret would require no pack, and would be weak and power hungry. Tier 2 turret would require a magazine, with the strength and efficiency provided by better crystals. Or how about a turret that has a range ...

Allow me some fun -
I see the Sun has set. How long did it take you to explore your surroundings?
Very defensible position.
What are you going to research first?
How fast can you swim the 100m?

The game, to me, is about building up a machine to forward a final goal. The Factorio poster I have in my mind would display a rocket launch in the distance (the end goal) with the factory workings in the foreground (the gameplay fun) and the biters charging against a fortified wall (the antagonist)...

Bob is great,
He makes his mod top rate!

The highlighted recipe is the full circuit recipe that Bob chose not to use. Instead, the "Base Circuit Board" is the recipe that is being used to replace "Green Circuits."
