Biter Battles(TM) Tournament Grand Final! SUN 19th April at 15:00 UTC Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:02 AM PDT Hello Everyone! You are all invited to the last match Grand Final of the Season 2 Biter Battles Tournament. SUN 19th April at 15:00 UTC (GMT) >> Check your Time Zone: https://timee.io/20200419T1500 COMFY INDUSTRIES VS STEELAXE ULTIMATE This final will be super competitive just as the semi-finals have been. These teams include most of the top Factorio speedrunners in different categories. A lot of innovation has happened in the last matches with teams coming up with novel and never seen ideas and strategies to beat their opponents. For those who don't know what BB is yet, it is an indirect PVP mode where players rush to build science and use it to increase the number and strength of biters attacking opposite team. Both team have a silo they must protect from enemy biters or they lose the match. Tournament organized by Taishan who also will be playing and broadcasting the game among others.

We will likely also organize a public special event afterwards. e.g. top players vs everyone else, mass public game.. Surprise!

Conqueror's Archipelago Map Seed Posted: 19 Apr 2020 02:43 AM PDT After finishing the game recently, I decided I want to try out a new map style. One thing that always stressed me out was the constant threat of biters and having to manage so many angles of attack all the time but I also didn't want to remove them entirely to still have challenge. I took this map seed from an old thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/b3bcwg/cool_island_seed_on_017x/ and made some interesting changes to the settings: ​ TERRAIN https://preview.redd.it/c8eu1rjupqt41.png?width=1345&format=png&auto=webp&s=eb3ed26fe23ab057dae2cb75ca6dba3ee273836b This is your home. It's not much but it will always be safe from biters until you choose to venture across the waters. While off-screen, every island apart from the central one is filled to the brim with biter nests. Conquering new lands will be difficult, but any that are will be yours forever. ENEMIES: Enemy bases are set to maximum size, frequency and expansion range. Biters are set to evolve at double the rate from destroying nests but will never evolve over time. Pollution may not lead to attacks but can still cause evolution on neighboring islands. This way, you can take your time before choosing to expand across the water to the resource rich reaches. Early on, tanks and turrets can clear infested islands and late game artillery cannons can fire across water gaps at any biters that dare even look upon your factory. RESOURCES All resources are set to be 300% richness but still normal size and frequency. This allows good prep for military but still encourages expansion to new islands to increase production. Stone specifically is set to 600% richness to account for the huge need for landfills. Need more oil? Be prepared to fight for it, but be safe in knowing you can retreat and defend at a choke point at any time.

While conquering an island it will need to be defended constantly until that island is cleared but once connected biters will constantly be attacking your base - maybe a tight rail-only bridge with enough trains to always run over biters? Or maybe a more traditional turret spam fest with landmines and layered walls at the front? This is my first time trying a mode other than the vanilla freeplay, so any tips on how this could go or if any of the settings are out of whack are greatly appreciated (especially evolution rate - I hope clearing one island won't immediately cause 0.9 evolution D: ). submitted by /u/SoLegendary [link] [comments]

On first base, wanna give up! Posted: 19 Apr 2020 08:03 AM PDT TL;DR Should one expect to launch a rocket with their very first base/play through I feel like I have to be able to launch a rocket with the very first base I have been making and it seems like an impossible task cause everything is so messy and it's a lot to manage. Question: how likely is it to launch a rocket the first time through a base? Should I call it a fun learning experience and just start a new base with what I've now learned? I'm not super far into the game, only like 30 hours. It's been slow going watching tutorials and such to figure things out alongside my own desire to figure things out on my own. I've gotten as far as making robots, just have to figure out how to use them now. I am not using any mods or premade blueprints at this time. Feels so far from launching the rocket! Thank you!! submitted by /u/SonOfObed89 [link] [comments]

Has anyone had success with Biter funnels? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 04:42 AM PDT ​ Attempt umpty-two, doesn't work Hi everyone! I'm looking at updating my wall design, as it's been ages and I want to incorporate buffer chests and flame throwers. I want to try and funnel the biters in to sections of the walls that are heavily fortified and make "killing fields"(for fun, it's not necessary by any means), but I can't seem to get the biters to stop attacking the wall. As seen in the picture, I've removed all the "targets" from the edges of the funnel, but the stupid bastards still insist on eating through my chevron. Anyone had any success with this kind of wall structure before? edit: Solution may have been found! submitted by /u/8igby [link] [comments]

Just started the game, can't progress research at all due to not having any automated science packs Posted: 19 Apr 2020 12:05 AM PDT I have no automated science packs, and cannot progress. I need to give the laboratory red beakers, and can't find a single way to get any. The only way is to craft them with the assembling kit which I need to finish the current research to obtain. I'm brand new to this game, and am finding this very frustrating. Please help. Also, I'm in campaign mode if that makes a lick of difference. Edit: solved. Alt mode showed me my own mess up, I guess I'm just blind. submitted by /u/KryFuZe [link] [comments]

Post-robotics you can get super lazy. "The Mall" from my last playthrough. Need something new? Just copy one of these little things and program the requester chest with copypaste. Posted: 19 Apr 2020 08:12 AM PDT submitted by /u/greenthumble [link] [comments]

Hyperloop mod request Posted: 19 Apr 2020 08:09 AM PDT A hyper loop mod would be cool. For one to test out the real world practicality of transporting goods at high speed in small pods. submitted by /u/SlickH2O [link] [comments]

Krastorio 2 blueprints Posted: 19 Apr 2020 07:57 AM PDT Hello, I play with Krastorio 2. and have nothing in blueprint tab, so I cant create new blueprint... As I remember, there should be empty BP for creating new ones. Or do I forgot how to play? :) submitted by /u/euvgenius [link] [comments]
