Terrific ! I especially like the last one too

That just makes me think a an app that takes a map, a set of coordinates and a direction could generate such renders, that would be neat
Maybe such a thing could even be added to the game post-release.

You should really get a look at the logistic network on the wiki you know ? https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/index.php?title=Logistic_network https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/index.php?title=Logistic_network/Chests You could also give a try to this page : https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/index.php?t...

Do you all just build for neat and pretty or do you just build it to work? Just to answer to that question : If it works, but is ugly, you can always make it pretty later on, further away. If it's pretty, aesthetically perfect, but totally disfunctional, you'll never get the chance to build somethi...

What does it even mean to be a geek these days? Educated? Comfortable with technology? Enjoys Star Trek? Most 12-year-olds fit into that category nowadays. A basic dude who knows a lot about a specific thing for some reason. I'd add ... or has a strong (above average) interest in a non-mainstream a...

Hi, As maybe some of you know, the map generator option "Water only in starting area" forces the terrain to be desertic through all the map, even in the starting area, despite there is obviously some water. I'm looking for a way to alter terrain generation so that there may be regular tree...

Very nice

Hahaha love that one

By the way, you're a true psycopath Beware : one day, you'll build a balancer so big it won't fit on screen, and you won't be able to screenshot it :p

The problem is, the day you'll want to do blue research, you're screwed.

Do you personaly think this is game for geeks Yes definitely :). I have geek and non-geek friends. Whenever I talk from Factorio to my non geek friends, they look at me like I'm from another planet (a planet that's out of our observable universe). because I don't feel that way? You don't have to fe...

Can you only have one path of transport belts from one drill? Is it 1:1? Or can you have two belts to one drill? You have 2 sides on one belt. You can put one mining drill on each side of a belt, and both the sides will be used. You have only one exit on a mining drill. Whetever is produced gets ou...

Build a pair of mining drills, a stack or two of transport belts, and a few yellow inserters. Place your mining drills on a coal patch, under their exits, place transport belts, and make a transport belt path towards your boiler. Place an inserter to take coal from the belt, and insert it in the boi...

I think there is no builtin function to make a screenshot and save it somewhere in Factorio. I f you play on Windows 7, there is a builtin capture tool that allows you to capture and save easily. I'm pretty sure there are similar tools on Linux, and I'm pretty sure there is a marvellous amazing tool...

You should let your arms attached to your shoulders, they work better that way :lol: Second : you should not take things from boilers : the sole function of boilers is to ... boil water. They take water from one side, heat it, and spit it hotter to the other side, up to 100°C. To do that, they use w...

So ... first of all, you have iron plates. With some of them, you can build iron gears. You have copper plates. With some of them, you can build copper cables, and with cables and iron plates, you can make green circuits. With a few iron gears, iron plates, and circuits, you can build your first ass...

Maybe you should research automation :) It helps automating a lot ^^ [Edit] : sorry : you've already searched automation. Now, you can build assembling machines. You feed them with inserters, and they build whatever you want. You take products they build with other inserters, and put them wherever y...

Sign/note, with a train stop.

If your output goes on a belt, just a look at the belt. else, [Alt] allows you to see what's on smart inserters conditions, chests contents, and what's being smelted in your furnaces. [Edit] and on your assembling machines

Mee too, but not owned, just curious

Your formulas don't take into consideration I might have 0 solar panels :) By the way, it's hard to check if your formulas are right, too many things are in 'Math' and 'Constants' hidden sheets, with passwords everywhere. All we can do is put values in cells, make the calculations on a paper, and ch...

The efficiency thing isn't really so much of a problem: even at 100% efficiency, the Factorio solar cells are generating so much energy that the light intensity over the entire planet is so high that liquid water would be immediately split into hydrogen and oxygen. The fact efficiency will be lower...
