@Galacticruler: Thanks for the link to the 3d tree models. Also, I've updated the main post to explain the use a bit better. But basically the GACKIT research is unlock by alien science, and you craft a GACKIT seed from 1 raw wood + 10 alien artifacts. Placing the seed instantly spawns a patch of fo...

@IhanaMies: Foreman sounds really useful. I should probably learn how to use it so that I can do some easy sanity checking. That said, 500 blue science packs a minute is a heck of a lot (at least for me personally). What I do with blue and golden science packs is that I buffer them a lot (i.e. produ...

@OvermindDL1: I've got a version up on github if you do not mind placeholder graphics. I think I have a 'different' approach for the dark blue science packs going, and some input would be appreciated. I think I might need to put up a flowchart for this, but I'd first like some feedback. Robots will ...

Tomorrow is a public holiday here. I'll try and get it out then.
No promises though. Kerbals are highly distracting.

@B1tchFight:
Pollution slows down farm growth. If your farms are within high pollution (or even somewhat moderate pollution) they won't produce anything at all.
Same goes for the fisheries.

(At least, this was true in the last version I played).

@OvermindDL1: Ooo, awesome, I look forward! Perhaps changing the recipe for his lab, upping the power cost (2.5 - 4MW perhaps?), and maybe removing the module capability of it? ^.^ I've upped the power usage (and removed the x2 speed boost) of the lab Mk2 in the new version. Changes not on github ye...

@OvermindDL1: I'll take a look to adding an easier config option for it in a future patch. For now, you can adjust it yourself by removing this line: -- Make resin craftable by hand, so that we can use it in science pack crafting. data.raw.recipe["bob-resin-wood"].category = "crafting...

@IhanaMies: Have you been using this mod for a while? I know I had this issue (batteries does not unlock recipes) in mod version 0.12.7, the migration script for that version is supposed to handle that... :oops: Glad you could find a way around it though. Sorry about the wasted science packs. But I ...

... I also changed the max capacity for all the warehouses to 1700 slots. ... Note that large storage capacities can cause significant lag when you load or unload them. (The game has to check through all the slots to find slots to insert into / take out of each time the inserter does anything.) So ...

@GproKaru: That looks really nice. It does actually look like natural tunnels. [OT] For the ore generation, are you generating new noise maps, or are you using the old ones along with a lower 'level' value? Generation (I.e. do the positions of the underground resources line up with the above ground ...

An interesting addition to this idea could be to make parts of this process consume pollution, and in fact produce more when pollution is higher . Example: Faster feed stock growth in high pollution environments. Such as genetically modified pollution eating algae... that can't possibly run amock an...

I think what most people would be interested in is to have smaller increments with separate smaller features. This would make (numbers out of the hat) one feature per 2 weeks instead of 10 features after 5 months. From my personal experience with software development: This is rarely possible when i...

Ah, I understand now.

Good luck!

I've wondered if this sort of modular approach works (as opposed to my usual one giant factory).

Given the long lengths of conveyors between your bases, don't you have problems with biters breaking them the whole time?

They grow up so fast...

I really like how modular the design is.
You feed it resources and it handles everything needed to crank out red + green science.
Well done.

Looks good as well.

@Ratzap: Yeah, quite a few days. :D I've also done other designs in other plays before, and I know the ratios since I coded it, so this design has had quite a bit of 'pre-planning' done. This current base on this playthrough is probably my proudest work in Factorio so far. Nowhere near any megabases...

Possible spelling mistake. Should be "loud"?
