mineral sludge is only more efficient, because you can reduce electrolyzers, which are the main power sink, needed for the same amount of materials. Mineral sludge is less power efficient than your starting mineralised water crystallisation recipe. Yes, it uses fewer electrolyzers but all the other...

its a challenge to supply even a single fully beaconed machine Hmm, it sounds like I'll need to scale up using trains and fluid wagons. Note that even with the heavy nerfs to beacons and modules, a fully T1+T2+T3 beaconed assembler runs at 2880% and hits the game engine limit of one per tick for an...

Ok, I tried doing this on marathon mode (expensive recipes, 4x science cost), but science cost tweaker's expensive recipes are just obscene. It costs 60 iron and 25 copper for four red packs (vs. 2 iron and 1 copper for one on normal), and 774 iron for four green packs (vs. 3 for one on normal). My...

The setup is intentionally designed with only 1 chest per wagon as I use the wagon itself is the buffer. During normal operation, an active factory module will have all 6 trains slowly unloading until they are finally empty. Only then will they leave the station. Given this design, having a train st...

89% through startup progress ("Loading sprites ...") I receive an error message and crash to desktop. Non-factorio memory usage was 4.7GB of 32GB. The rest of the relevant system details are in the crash log. I have attached the log and dump as requested in the error message. The crash is ...

The modules are indeed a pain. My current project is exactly what you suggested: create a set of blueprints of the same size that make this base. Blueprints on my TODO list are: - T3 module production - 3-8-3-8 rail and output blueprints - A sub-factory to make every needed in all the blueprints The...

What is this? This is a modular, tileable UPS-friendly sci/min megafactory design blueprint. It takes in raw materials from 3-8 trains and researches science. Each building block unit is fully self-contained 62.5sci/min factory requiring 250MW of power. Blueprint: https://pastebin.com/vxEEjZkA Scre...
