1) Well, it's experimental, so...

2) That artillery train; I've already worked out something to semi-automatically clear out biters with it.

3) Huh?

4) [CLASSIFIED INFORMATION]

This topic would probably be better for the Ideas and Suggestions subform: viewforum.php?f=6

Edit: Just a recommendation, I'm not trying to be pushy.

https://forums.factorio.com/download/file.php?id=30426 Ok this is very very cool. I was about to say "underground pipes/belts should not work, cliffs are simply impossible to get through, to avoid fixing the problem" but here the solution is incredibly elegant. Underground belt that switc...

Infinitely expanding planets 2d that eventually turn into the ending of Solitaire if you go far enough.

I want to see the most advanced and (probably) unnecessarily complicated turret creep systems that people can come up with 'cuz why not?

Mega is a unit prefix in metric systems of units denoting a factor of one million

So you need to have 1 million of something.

How about 1 million biters?

In that case that's the only thing you have.

I do recall them saying wood would be automatable at some point in the future, so I would imagine that would involve planting trees.

An in-between station would be faster. And once again I am wrong.

First of all, it's bad practice to build your stations over what you're mining; you'll have to rebuild them later in order to get the rest of the patch. Second of all, trains will, from my understanding, path-find to the closest station, so they go past the switch before they see that the signal is ...

The point of concrete is to be a relatively flat surface for utility purposes; The ground looks flatter than that and it does not look like something I would want to put a heavy machine on because the ground is so uneven I feel that any large objects placed on it could fall over. In fact, I bet you ...

In the cargo wagon you can set filters by holding the item you want for one of the slots and clicking with the mousewheel. Inserters will try to put a full stack of that item in that slot.

minecraft mod exist. The point isn't that they exist, it's that the developers don't support them. The Factorio developers do support mods (and if they didn't, they probably wouldn't exist, for several resons). Well, I wouldn't say it's that they don't support them so much so as it is that by the t...

Thanks for the info! Other question - is there a list somewhere of what recipes a productivity module will not work on? The wiki simply says it doesn't work for placeable structures or nuclear related things. Some resources indicate it also doesn't work on module production. Does no nuclear mean ev...

Would you mind showing me your 1k science per second base, without a main bus or bots?

Wow, and here I am still trying to set up a basic rail system and still relying on a main bus that quickly turned into spaghetti and is not really producing anything over 60 hours into my first playthrough.

You can easily handcraft EVERYTHING involved in oil setups which are powerful enough to supply rockets. It gets more convenient if you automate pipes and underground pipes but that is trivial to do even with grey assemblers. I don't get the ruckus about oil. Yeah I still remember it was a tougher t...

The whole point of having an Ideas and Suggestions forum is so we can give feedback on what those limits should be.

If they don't add an upgrade planner, they should at the very least allow buildings/strucutres in blueprints to be placed ontop of other tiers of that building/structure (i.e. Yellow belts on top of red belts or Mk3 Assemblers over Mk1s).

I think that rather than make the overlap a dark green, the entire personal construction area should be a dark green...unless your saying you're having difficulting building in the range of both of them.

Honestly, I think this is basically just adding complexity for complexity's sake as it really adds nothing to the game other than making tiered research facilities that take up more space and an alternate way to speed up laboratories. It doesn't add really add depth like you say, just aesthetics and...

I think a while back I heard about it on a Minecraft Subreddit. I then remembered it about a year later and bought it and here we are.
