Unexpected Factorio Question: Where Did I Park My Tank?

Post by Whounis »

I was not expecting to ask myself in an automation game, where the **** did I park my tank?

First time player, so the answer is ususally somewhere near my mall like thing, but it could just as easily be out by one of the resource nodes, nodes or in the middle of no where.

So where is your tank?

Look for a red triangle on the map!
Also this doesn't seem to be "off topic"

You can probably ctrl-f for tank. Also, putting a pin on it helps too =)

Search does not seem to work sadly. Unless you need to search for something other than "tank".

You can pin your tank with ALT-right click, then find it again very easily. It's even an arrow in which direction it is. However, you need to locate your tank once more manually to be able to pin it.
