welcome! my only tip for playing the: dont ask for general tips. if u are stuck and need tip for something, sure go search for it. if not, it is not advisable to ask or look for generic tip until u launch 3 rockets or so. discovering the problem, fixing them and improving them was a joyful experienc...

well, thanks for pointing out the part i did not make myself clear. in my formula, the V is calculated between input heat tile to input heat tile, hence when i = 0, the end points are the same tile, therefore V = 0. i choose between input heat tile because the formula is nicer this way. as a consequ...

mining productivity 1 needs {750,250} ore, not {2250,750}. short answer: less than 38% cost of rocket+satellite. at mining prod1, for every 102 ore used, u "pay" for 100 ore and 2 ore come for free. for every x ore used, u "pay" for (100/102)x ore and (2/102)x ore come for free. ...

true that. normally i use prod3 on silo and labs (after that, top-down in production chain list). those usually are bottlenecked by input, so craft speed penalty isnt a penalty at all. furthermore prod has greatest effect (discount) on high end product. on the other hand, miners and pumpjack are bot...

@FasterJump: sp have different length of stages and prod module can be used by some product while not by others, math become very messy.
and i said that im too lazy, its just a rough estimate (or upper bound).

@d4rkpl4y3r: im a stupid LOL... thanks @Cerulean: actually 1000 crude oil is equal to 1800 heavy oil, not 555. also the conversion is valid as in long term average, when LOTS of different liquid come and go. to further convince u or future reader, here is an example: if u are given 17000 oil and tas...

@Ace_W: thanks~ @quinor: im too lazy for that, but rough estimate, u can place 4 prod3 to each sp(include silo, exclude satellite) and 2 prod3 in labs. so needed amount is reduced to (1 - .4)(1 - .2) = .48 1 / (1.4 * 1.2) = .595 (thanks to d4rkpl4y3r) , which means roughly 60% as much raw is needed....

I suggest you read Why ? because im lazy. :D i read that long ago, but thanks anyway. 5 clicks is still to much for too little feature.

I belive, You can connect light to them, that light when miner is depleted... i just tested and... u're right! one never stop learning. but then, its too troublesome for such a little thing to ask for, same for installing a mod. i admit this small feature is not a must have, but certainly nice to h...

I'm all for moving it into a tab, but, we still need a quick way of seeing which weapon we have equipped. I didn't make it very clear in FFF, you you can still see your active weapon and ammo, something like this, possibly attached to the quickbar: https://forums.factorio.com/download/file.php?id=2...

oh gosh, what a mistake! now the numbers should divide by 10... what a bummer :( well i edit the numbers. now it doesnt look as pretty... thanks for pointing out the mistake tho. edit: @andrew, as for the energy cost, both fuel value and "crafting time" is divided by 10, so the ratio stays...

@andrew, glad u like it. all the photos are from wiki (should something happen to the image link, this post will become a graveyard of dead link). as for energy cost, by including crafting time into the equation, we got https://wiki.factorio.com/images/thumb/Uranium-235.png/16px-Uranium-235.png = 15...
