any one have a base I can use?

Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

any one have a base I can use?

Post by spro123 »

so whenever I play factorio I get bored and very discouraged so I can never get past chemical science unless i'm playing with friends it won't help to play with a faster start mod since I get bored of building the base from scratch so does anyone have a world (space age) that has built a rocket silo but hasn't launched anything?

If this game bores and discourages you, then it might not be the right game for you. It's not for everyone, and that's OK.

Maybe it's because it's taking too long to build by hand?

If you search the mod portal for "start" you can find a lot of mods that promise a faster start, often by providing you with armor, construction bots, etc. to get you going quickly. A few examples:

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/MegaBotStart

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/mecha-start

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/nanobots-start-v2

There are a lot of other "start" varieties, so chances are good that if you look, you'll find something that'll ease the pain you're feeling.

I really like it. Its not too hard its just slow to get through all the building of green circuits red circuits mining but I love building just not the start but once I get to chemical science Im flying through the game

I like that you gave me those mods I know they exist but its not the speed that I build as I can play without them its needing to go through the really early game making slow progress to get chemical science.

Sure, but especially if you've played the game before and have a lot of blueprints, just starting out with armor and construction bots can make things much faster than having to lay out everything by hand. Plus you won't have to chop trees, mine large rocks, etc.; just have the bots do it.

This might be worth looking at. It gives you a big pack of stuff to start with, which might make the start less painful:
