When the bugs on the bug forum are fixed Since its less than 1 page, I would estimate sooner than 1 month from now (but if more bugs come, we gonna fix them) But if you get rid of all the biters, how will death world work? (he laughs to himself not realizing how many times this joke has been made)

I don't how far fetched this is.... But I've been half paying attention to Creeper World 4's development. And I've noticed a number of parallels in some the dev's more exploratory ideas that are really similar to Factorio's overall concept, but the majority of attention shifted to an evolutionary st...

Theres a reason hes associated with infinite energy/fuel production.

It's inevitable that ecosystems, along with the natural regulatory systems of our world, will become increasingly destabilized in the coming centuries. The result will likely be extreme weather and temperature, famine, and a rate of mass extinction that puts the current one caused by a century of i...

Hello everybody in these hot days (In Europe at least). 30 (or so) years ago, there was conference about climate change, where specialists of this topic has warned people with responsibility that there is probability, that clima starts to change and if nobody does something, it would be worse and w...

Here are some things I'd like to see - - Smarter biters (a big brain biter that does surgical attacks on your infra that you have to outsmart to defend your bases - An infinite science on communicating with biters which allows you eventually make peace with them as long as you stop polluting. (Say,...

To the original question.... Liquids tend to be easier to handle if you move crude in bulk to a central refinery area, and pipe output products to locations you need them. Barring mega factories that needs an entirely different style of logistics, a basic factory for rocket launch can reasonably wor...

Bit of a necropost but I haven't seen this very well discussed before. It's not cheating but they are a spoiler of sorts. I heartily recommend launching your first rocket and getting all the science before looking at wikis or blueprint libraries or even the new built in tips. Otherwise you'll miss ...

I'd like to offer a more philosophical argument..... Why does do you need to keep building more? This is something of big existential question when you're dealing with modern games, and modern gamer's seemingly insatiable need for validation through progression. But I've seen a disturbing number of ...

Something that I don't got explained yet is what the Production and Satisfaction bars are, and how they work. Satisfaction is the total demand of electricity by the factory, or at least that specific Power Grid. Production is the total production capacity of all power generators on the Grid. Product...

Kinda what koub said honestly, just do your own thing. Set your own goals, you don't need to care about what anyone else tells you to do. That's why i never play for achievements. Honestly, it's usually bad to check up on forums when you first start playing a game if you don't have any problems whi...

Nuclear power is a hell of a thing lol I have a 4.8gw blueprint that takes up a fair chunk of space. But its super tiny compared to the amount of solar that I would need to replace it Are you telling us that you literally cannot find the space to place a solar plant? :P I wouldn't be shocked if it ...

use mods then? I don't know what you're expecting...... You're running an open server, but you don't want other players to do stuff. You're worried about achievements, but not willing to go single player. You have admin powers.... so why not use them?

3 Things to help clear things up - Crude oil wells deplete over time. They don't "run out" entirely, but their production rate lowers the more you extract from them. Once at the end of its prime production life, you can use Speed modules (and spd beacons) to up the extraction rate back to ...

The problem late game with belts is that for massive throughput you need massive belt lanes. And then most often you need to figure out how to balance those massive lanes. Where as bots can inherently self balance if setup correctly and have almost unlimited throughput by just adding more bots and ...

I'm at an overall loss. if it follows machines on your network, it suggests its something with the network. If it was me, I'd be going deep on the router to see what its doing, and hope for clues.

What GPU is the game using while running?

Oh, and another fun thing I've found is that you can cart 500c steam around using Fluid Wagons. And set up a Storage Tank + Turbines for multi-megawatt power instead of huge solar and accumulator farms at remote sites.

Speaking of power.... I've never done a launch on more then 80MW power. And most of the time demand doesn't go past 60 or 70, and I'm being totally sloppy at this point. One disastrous biter attack got me paranoid, and rapidly fell down the pollution control rabbit hole. ... For the majority of the...

As many already told, you can send a rocket (an official win) without optimizations and plannings. Yeah, I launched the rocket without many optimizations. It took a while to build it and I was in no rush. I was expanding the territory, killing nests and the rocket was slowly built. I think at the t...
