    Friday Facts #329 - Campaign reassessment

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 08:34 AM PST

    Is 38k labs too many labs? Got only 24FPS anymore....

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 11:55 PM PST

    As requested, here is the fast alternating train station with visible rail signals. It's a bit late for Christmas, but enjoy the light show nonetheless.

    FACTORIO IS A PERFECTLY BALANCED GAME WITH NO EXPLOITS - 500 Players Is Broken Strategy

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 06:23 PM PST

    Late game nuclear power that's mostly balanced.

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 02:55 AM PST

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

    It's done. It's finally done. The past month of making artwork has been one hell of a grind. I'm not an artist. At all. I do know Blender a lot better now though, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

    Memes aside, I'm posting here because a few people had interest in knowing about this mod should it ever come to life. Well, here it is. I apologize for the shitty art ahead of time. I have no real skill there, and even less when I'm restricted to 32x32 pixels. I tried to make everything distinct enough that you'd be able to tell what it was and not get it confused with other parts. I also organized all of the parts into their own tab, and rows based on what they are (IE: all MSR parts are on a pair of rows together, all LWR parts are together; with two other rows for common parts used by more than one reactor design).

    In terms of in-game performance, solar panels are still, technically, less UPS impact than these reactors. That said, with just 45 reactors you can generate 60GW and those 45 reactors will take up a very small plot of land. Each reactor itself takes only a single update to process, so if the entire solar grid takes 1 update, the nuclear update would be '45' instead of 1. Considering that a single 1GW nuclear reactor with vanilla factorio parts is around '450', I'd say this mod accomplished its goal.

    I was unable to use the 'reactor' prototype for this mod, so the reactors stop and start with demand instantly. That said, if you'd like to smooth out that demand, consider using: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/EnhancedGridEnergyStores which added more energy dense options for accumulators that are balanced in terms of material cost. It also adds new satellite options using those energy stores that return more science packs (to offset the higher material cost) per launch; allowing you to stop building accumulators entirely.

    I could make a version of the nuclear mod that used the 'reactor' prototype, but it would be even less efficient than what I just built, because it would have to use the heat system and at least two entities (the reactor itself, and the generator that takes heat and converts it to energy). The realism of the reactor prototype isn't worth the UPS impact IMO.

    I feel like i should say more, but the reality is I just love nuclear power, and enjoyed the 2 months spent researching facts, figures, sizes, densities, and other technical data far more than anything else while making this mod. I will now go and enjoy playing with it. I fundamentally made it for me. I'm just not greedy enough to keep it to myself. If anyone wants to learn more about nuclear energy (either the mod, or IRL) I'm here and happy to teach. Few things would make me happier than for this mod to spark someone's interest in nuclear energy.

    PSA : Griefers

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 08:07 PM PST

    Just a friendly reminder that this list exists : Factorio Griefers You can copy / paste the list into your banlist when hosting a new server. Had several maps destroyed tonight by one of these assholes in particular, BOLO Scout15.

    Nothing better than the server you've been working on getting destroyed because no admins are online.

    The night time is seriously awesome. The burners feel like breathing.

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 11:46 PM PST

    My laptop is 4 years old and had a normal 1366x768 screen with practically no black. Everything looked greyish and thus i never understood the need of lights in nighttime in factorio. I got the screen replaced. And holy moly, i am now scared to go in dark. For the first time, i had to automate lights production. The factory (IR play-through) also looks awesome

    Watching factorio while playing factorio

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 12:45 AM PST

    Because its so much fun, I usually watch factirio while playing factorio, but as i have close to 2000 hours in, i have also watched nearly as much factorio and are now looking for new players to watch.

    So can you guys and girls recommed good channels/playlists to watch to scratch that itch.

    I like modded gameplay like warptorio, space exploration and wave defence, but dont really care for seablock or angel´s

    I have so far watched a lot of the following streamers:

    • Nilaus (vanilla and modded/scenarious)
    • Quill 18
    • JDplays
    • Markplier (A bit over the top, but fun)
    • Dgray
    • Xterminator
    • Anrond (Great longplay videoes without commentary)
    • Scarhoof plays

    I properly forgot someone, but what can you do.
    I am aware of Katherine of Sky, but her style is not for me.

    So, anyway, I hope you want to share some of your favorites, and Im happy to look at your streams even if they dont fit my stated preferences. Its always fun to get to know fellow redditors.

    Do biters expand if you haven't explored the map

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 05:58 AM PST

    I am playing with the space exploration mod so the starting planet is limited in size. You can also use the satellite you launch to look at the map and discover new areas while scrolling around. I want to use it to see how big the planet is to know roughly when I need to start considering moving to a new planet for more resources. Are the biter colonies always in the game or are they generated once I reveal parts of the map. I dont want to have the outskirts the starting planet swarmed with creature because I explored it way before I would need it.

    my starting of a mega base only just started to branch out

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 02:27 PM PST

    Is there a way of continuously placing blueprints in the same manner as powerlines?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 06:34 AM PST

    So I'm pretty new to factorio, with 20-25 hours to my name mostly because I stand at the end of production lines picking up materials to craft, which I came across a bit of a conundrum when experimenting with blueprints.

    I was trying to build a wall, with laser turrets (which I automated the production of :D ) and power lines set slightly back from the edge of the wall to give the biters some nibble time. Then I unlocked the blueprint book, and attempted to use it to copy the design over and over again. However, when it came to placing down the blueprint shadow I couldn't do the trick where you hold click on the powerlines and move, with the tower stretching to maximum length before placing.

    I did end up placing down all the walls and turrets manually as the pollution was starting to waft down the burrows of the biters, but how about should I approach this next time I come to building a long wall section?

    Many thanks

    Is there a way to create conditional train stops for each train?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 06:31 AM PST

    I know you can deactivate train stations conditionally but i would like to do it inside a train's schedule. Like: if "iron out"== deactivated: Go to "Depot"

    Voicechat group

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 05:54 AM PST

    Hi people of Reddit

    I recently started playing multiplayer, but I found the lack of voicechat to lead to people just doing there own thing. This then leads to people leaving because things get messy and disorganized. Are there games for people like me where you can only join with voicechat and people really work in a coordinated fashion?

    Doesn't need to be super try hard, just more communication.

    LTN Requesting more and more but the chests are full

    So i used this Guide for my Requester and Provider Stations: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/73xyd5/guide_for_a_loweffort_ltn_user/

    My Requester Station is full with Coal but LTN keeps requesting more and my Trains filling up with Coal and after the 120 seconds they drive to the Depot. Maybe someone can help me and look at the Station I´m standing at.

    Quick question: is bob+angels compatible with AAI+space exploration?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 07:53 AM PST

    Just a quick question, I'll delete this post later to clear up clutter. I'm assuming they aren't compatible, but I couldn't find anything on it.

    Is there a way to make bots invisible?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 07:28 AM PST

    Is there a short cut key that lets you make bots invisible? They can clutter up the screen to the point that I have a hard time seeing wires, rail signals, etc.
