    This is how I place my panels

    Awww... I <3 you too Factorio ^_^

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 12:10 PM PDT

    Guys and gals, this game is hard.

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 06:37 AM PDT

    So I did a thing, again. No youtube, google... none of that. Took me a while and didn't work on the first couple of tries.

    I just made my first uranium setup. Here is my quick, no-spoiler introduction to nuclear power!

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 07:25 AM PDT

    If you have never, ever touched or seen someone else work with that weird green stuff in Factorio, you may not know where to start. I know I didn't!

    I got out all the parts associated with uranium and looked at them. It made everything much less scary. This is what I will simply show you now.

    • A centrifuge is like an assembler. It has 4 recipes: uranium processing, nuclear fuel, nuclear fuel reprocessing, and Kovarex enrichment process.

    • A heat exchanger is like a boiler. A steam turbine is like a steam engine.

    • The nuclear reactor and its heat pipes are new, but you'll figure those right out ;-) Those uranium fuel cells can be made in an assembler - just add iron.

    Now go forth and figure out how to put these things together. It's fun!

    How I (and maybe you) have been playing Factorio wrong

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 07:44 PM PDT

    First off let me say that there isn't really a wrong way to play anything, if you're having fun then there's nothing wrong. However I have noticed something about the way I play and believe it is diminishing my enjoyment of the game. And if sharing this helps both me and you have more fun then all the better.

    Don't get me wrong, I love Factorio, but I never get very far. I believe automating blue science is as far as I've made it. And I notice that as the game goes on I end up doing more and more waiting. Waiting on research or some crafting or whatever. But why am I not doing anything? There's surely stuff I could do but I'm not, why is that?

    Because I'm playing minimally.

    As I've heard it called "playing lean". Using as little as is required to progress and nothing more. I often have one miner for say iron and my machines are starving for plates. I think to myself "well I'm still making plates, eventually they'll get plates I don't need another miner quite yet".

    But that isn't how Factorio wants you to play.

    Factorio wants you to consume as much resources as fast as possible. Factorio wants you to think "well one miner isn't quite keeping up, I better build 20 more." Factorio is a cascading game, where your production in hour 1 helps increase your production in hour 2 and so on. People often give the advice "don't just make one thing make 50." This is true for everything, not just items but your production as well. Use the 10 plates per second you're making now to make more miners and furnaces so that now you're making 100 per second, and then 1000 and so on.

    So I'm more excited than ever to start my new playthrough. Where 40 miners won't be enough. Where 20 labs is good 200 is better. And I'm not so worried about keeping things organized as I am about more power, more plates and more fun.

    TL;DR The motto is "The Factory must grow" so grow that factory out of control instead of keeping things neat and "efficient."

    When to ditch your original factory?

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 06:22 AM PDT

    I've got a decent base going, red and green science automated, just got my car and oil, and I've started on setting up a little oil outpost. I'm about to try to automate blue science, but my base is becoming a little cramped and I'm starting to exhaust some of my original miners. Should I go ham and set up a much more planned out factory now, or is it too soon?

    When do you guys set up somewhere new?

    First run since I completed the OG campaign and built the plane.

    Advice and Pointers for a Noob

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 07:54 AM PDT

    Hello everyone, I've been a lurker here for a while, and well, having played 150+ hours of factorio without ever launching a rocket, I would really like some help.
    So since I got the game, I've always wanted to try and learn it by myself, and it usually ends in me running out of room, spaghetti, massive biter raids, or just overwhelming me into submission. I want to learn how to make a bus, a megabase, and or something that allows me to actually beat the game. So I'm coming here to ask for your help, I don't have much free time, and as such, I have no idea which tutorials on youtube will be worth that time. So if you guys have any recommendations for a more advanced tutorial series, that'd be amazing. And any other advice you have to give to a lost noob would be greatly appreciated

    ​

    I must say, I love this community, you guys are all so passionate, it shows. Thank You!

    Circuit help, Madzuri unloader and LTN.

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 07:40 AM PDT

    Im using madzuri unloader to evenly distribute items at a train stop. The problem is that the signal sent from the arithmetic combinator (which controls the unloader) mixes with the signal from the ltn combinator. is there any way to fix this?

    Signal before i connect to the ltn combinator: https://i.imgur.com/wTROg4J.png

    Signal after i connect to the ltn combinator: https://i.imgur.com/CvRf7mX.png

    A discussion about Factorio on HackerNews

    I just launched my first rocket, after a lot of mental effort. The feeling of accomplishment I'm feeling is grater than anything any other game has ever made me feel. Thank you devs!!!

    Confusion with Logistics and Trains. Assistance requested please.

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 11:59 PM PDT

    Trying my hand at MegaBase and Trains with Logistics.

    I have set up the runs from ore to smelters in the base, and the paths are fine, trains run no worries. However I am having issues with the logistics side of things.

    I have labelled each station the same, with the same request parameters, but the trains only seem to be going to the closest 2 stations with that name.

    Train names: https://imgur.com/a/9FK8xnh Train logistics: https://imgur.com/a/18klzzZ

    Can an anyone please explain what I am doing wrong here? I have no knowledge of combination deciders or any of that... I am just dipping my toes into this stuff.

    Thanks!

    Can i mass delete flamethrower turrets?

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 08:05 AM PDT

    My FPS/UPS is constantly dropping to around 30-40. I think this started happening when i changed my defense wall blueprint to include flame thrower turrets. The wall in the picture goes around my entire base. I had a previous save that was far bigger than my current base and i had no problems with fps drops.

    Is there a way to mass delete the flamethrower turrets via the console? if it is the flamethrowers causing the problem i really dont want to have to go around the entire base deleting them.
