Electric Arc

Post by PanTobi »

Hey, I'm Tobi!...

How about Furnance fast as belts?...
1) in real Factory there is no something like "Iron ore at input Iron plate at output"
- Yes, i know i can download Angel's Mods but they look ugly and i like Factorio Graphics Style...

2) im tired of building insane amount of electric furnances...
- Crafting them is no problem... but placing them even with bots is waste of time...

Image here:

INPUT:
Power: 14.5 MW
Violet: ( GAZ ) ( x40/sec ) ( place where lightning bow can move )
Blue: ( WATER ) ( x40/sec ) ( cooling material, to protect Furnance from explosion/melting )
Light Violet: ( ORE ) ( up to 45items / sec ) ( no inserter needed, belt at input )

OUTPUT:
Pollution: 144m/s
Green: ( Fluid Waste ) ( x5/sec ) ( Dirty Water )
Gray: ( Steam ) ( x35/sec ) ( output from cooling ring )
Light Green: ( Solid Waste ) ( 3% for ore to be transformed into waste ) ( just stone at output )
Brown: ( Hot Fluid ) ( 97% for ore to be transformed into hot fluid ) ( 1 iron ore = 1 hot iron // 1 copper ore = 1 hot copper ETC. )

Hot Fluid use:
100x Fluid = Ore Block ( stack up to 50 )
10x Fluid = Ore Bar ( stak up to 100 )
1x Fluid = Ore Plate

i think furnance should be 5x5 size

This furnance is in my opinion worth to build cause its small and it will use BELTS and PIPES at input instead of inserters
so 8 of them is worth 100x100 or whatever is size of Electric furnance for BUSx8

Handling this furnance is hard, crafting it even harder but it will finally make Factorio more realistic...

also it will allow players to make thier factory more LOGIC instead of MASSIVE
right now factorio is about SPAMING prints everywhere, with this furnance we have strong press on logic instead of Mass


and thats how REAL FACTORIES WORKS...
REAL FACTORIES do even more, we can for example use "helpers" like inserting GAZ that can burn to help Electrodes rise heat


Just look HOW BEAUTY Electric Arc is:

This sounds more like a mod request.

You can use hidden loaders or really fast inserters to handle belt speed and an assembler instead of the furnace so it can handle fluids. The recipee is trivial to create and the rest is just a little scripting and drawing the graphics for it.

Yeee... look like real Arc Engine...

- Waste products output?...
- Realistic Heating ?...

Epic Belt Burner in VANILLA Factorio xD LOL !...
Milion Hand Inserter xD

Trying to create 5901209512978012850981025 Ore / Sec Furnance
Click
The pie is a lie :o !... lol xD wow :c... lel


in my opinion building new Game Targets is more important than... let's see what Great Factorio made in last Update
Wowwowow... looks pretty epic: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=75864
2 changes ONE Feature and some fixes...

Using wires in the map editor no longer consumes the wires.
Like you have SHORT AMOUNT of wires in Editor, they stack up to 200

Thats the WORLD NEED !...

Code: Select all

WAS:
void OnUse(Item item){
	Place( item );
	Player.Inventory.RemoveItem( item, 1 );
}

IS NOW:
void OnUse(Item item){
	Place( item );
}
-> And we call it UPDATE...


0.17.69 was so big and great update...
so many new things to do !... w8... many ? MUCH !... SO MUCH...
LAST GOOD UPDATE WAS URANIUM UPDATE !...

Arc Furnance can be NEW GAME TARGET like Rocket Silo is...


Arc Furnance -> Production Game Target ( Production Victory )
Rocket Silo -> Space Game Target ( Space Victory )
Wave Generator -> Millitary Game Target ( Millitary Victory )
Dyson Sphere -> Electric Game Target ( Power Victory )
Deep Blue -> Mining Game Target ( Mining Victory )

Another shouty, tactless and rude person added to my blocklist.

Tailoring the game to your own personal needs is not the devs' duty. They are kind enough to provide a terrific modding interface to the game, if after thousands hours of playing you start getting bored :
1) you've had quite some bang for your buck
2) you can still mod the game to your content
3) if you get bored even after all that, maybe you can consider doing something else of your life for a while : Factorio is just one of the best games ever, it's not the only thing in the universe.
