2 days and some 8 hours to go, I think.

I sure hope so

Productivity modules are used, they can reduce the input cost of intermediate products by 28.5714% per step. Productivity modules combined with speed beacons can actually reduce the per unit pollution footprint of all circuits because of the reduced need for inputs.

Seed 142857, I finished my speed run on it in 7 hrs 7 minutes and 7 sec. Just divide 1 by 7 and you will get these digits. There is tons of oil close by, as well as a large iron field close bh and a copper field a couple sectors away.

This would make the early game a bit simpler. I dont know if there are other things they should take fuel from.

Hi all, I couldn't help but be reminded of Factorio after watching some videos of autonomous quadcopters (I've ordered 1 and am expecting it in 30~ days due to high demand), they have gotten in the price range of regular consumers (ie 500-1000$ for an autonomous quadcopter). They're capable of flyin...

I would absolutely love this

I could be wrong but im pretty sure the water is just flowing through the middle without going through the boilers. If that's so, remove all the middle pieces except the one going into the steam engines and the one coming from the pump

I think i would be prone to commit capital crime against anyone who sends me their save because I'm a perfectionist and can't stand inefficiencies but I wish you good luck on this venture...

I think a simple solution would be to make it so that one part of the belt must be powered and that from there every other connected part of that belt is also energized. Every belt part becomes a transmission line to power directly connected belts, without becoming a transmission line to non-belt st...

this may give a general idea.

does that last config work? Do they only go for the turrets?

by efficient do you mean with less structures, assemblers, etc? It doesn't look efficient in terms of time.

Nice idea. Now where Germany is in the football world cup half final I add: - cars with flags on each side driving around senseless and honking all the time. - we need to produce a vuvuzela for every inhabitant. A vuvuzela needs minimum 10 bars of plastics for assembling, cause it is an extremely w...

is that southeast choke impassible?

it is especially for the base resources. It costs a lot of resources to research bots, and yet more to make them economical to use, and yet more to build enough of them even when you're at that point. You're just delaying things with logistics bots. By the time you're ready to use them you've spent ...

you need to make about 8 electronic circuits a second to produce blue packs at a decent rate (7 of those go to smart inserters). As someone else stated, you need lots of miners and furnaces to produce blue packs at a decent rate. If you get oil sorted out early and 4 blue assemblers producing circui...

Understood. That would be definately be a nice feature. It could probably be quite simply done by splitting splitting the chest inventory in half, one half for the requester side and one for the provider. Things being inserted by inserters go to the provider half, and things inserted by robots to th...

the forum and website are hosted by separate entities, and the devs probably haven't gotten around to integrating their website with the forums. They probably took a simple option with few headaches that doesn't have the added functionality of a fully integrated forum. I reckon it would cost some ex...
