    I love the new logistics chest graphic

    It explains visually exactly what each chest does. Great attention to detail, devs!

    Can we just take a moment to appreciate the robustness of the achievement tracking.

    Posted: 06 Aug 2020 05:28 PM PDT

    There aren't many games out there that update achievement progress in real time, even in an in game menu, but I can't think of another game that allows you to pin an achievement to the game screen for tracking. This is an awesome feature and I wish more games did it.

    Just picked this game up and I love it! This is my factory after 8 hours, does it look good?

    My girlfriend's first military science setup! It's her first game, I'm teaching her how to play but she did this all on her own! :)

    So It Begins - My Survival Mega Base With No Imported Blueprints

    38/38 Achievements unlocked (Vanilla). Behold the worst part of the process, Mass Production 3. One of three Electronic Circuit "storage" lines (just over 5 million of them in this photo alone). Highlights in comments.

    Finally finished my challenge, City block with only trains, no main bus from beginning, with 150 SPM

    Finally finished my challenge, City block with only trains, no main bus from beginning, with 150 SPM

    ​

    https://preview.redd.it/2brm8gfeohf51.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=203f24767124399b137d91c334e5e8acdc99c25e

    so I decided to run a challenge map for myself, Rail world settings but kept the materials all at 100% density and 100% size, but 33% frequency. also I turned back on biter expansion so that biters can keep growing. but I put their expansion range fairly short. this turned out to make it a bit more difficult as the biters were making more compact nests and thus made it quite difficult to kill them in the early stages. had to do a lot of repair work on the walls.

    ​

    This challenge turned out to be more work than I expected and a lot slower. originally I was trying to do a starter base only until the end of red and green science but found out that dealing with biters was a lot harder with just those 2 science levels. I had to include chemical and military science in the starter base to get enough damage that my AP rounds were dealing with the Big biters. Behemoths showed up fairly quickly after I had set up the main base with the defenses. I was originally planning on getting artillery around the walls but never got around to building them. I ended up not needing them since with an abundance of uranium to make atomic bombs, I was just going around and wiping out all the biters nests that were near my pollution cloud.

    ​

    for anyone interested in taking a closer look at the base, here is a link to download my save and feel free to take a look.

    I am loving Krastorio 2. Its insane.

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 02:36 AM PDT

    I wish the wiki/guide was available offline so I can read a bit without the game running or what not.

    Also there's so many more inputs how do I properly build a mall now? I feel like I'd need just one inserter only mall.

    But the creator who did the artwork really outdid themselves.

    City Block Megabase

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 05:26 AM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    I've recently finished a new playthrough and finally want get down into megabase territory. However I've still not decided how to do it. I find the city blocks Nilaus uses very appealing, because you have everything nice and organized, complete roboport coverage and it's highly blueprintable, especially since the latest BP library updates.

    What bugs me about it though is that you either have not enough stations, no train stackers, ridiculously large blocks or too short trains. In the past I had my problems with stations without stackers and thus I'm really careful spending 100s of hrs but then regretting it because of the poor layout right from the beginning.

    Nilaus uses a 4-Lane system which of course causes the space for the stations within one city block to be rather limited. A 2-lane layout would increase the space available immensely and would be much easier to design. Do you think the throughput would be high enough with a 2-lane layout or do you have any other suggestions of how to layout the city block grid?

    I'm pretty sure he'll come up with something amazing as always, but I can't really wait because I have holidays at the moment.

    I'd really appreciate some creative input on how you'd solve the problems

    People of Factorio can you please help me with bignum division

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 08:23 AM PDT

    So I am working on a project that needs big numbers (longer than the max 10 digit) and I've come to a wall, division. My bignum implementation is using multiple combinators next to each other that pass the numbers (basically I have multiple wires next to each other and each wire transfers one digit of the number. 123 would be represented as 1 2 3). Now the trouble is that I have to divide 1 by n (1/n) where both 1 and n are integers and get a bigfloat output (preferably expandable so you can easily choose how much decimals you want to get). I will happily explain anything you don't understand (English isn't my first language). Any help is appreciated.

    proposal for a surface drill without the illogical pointy bit

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 04:33 AM PDT

    Bug?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 12:43 AM PDT

    Edit: What I thought was a 'bug' was clarified to be a operating problem on my end. Leaving the original post for future reference:

    "Hello, I played the tutorial to see if I would be interested in the game but It seems really glitchy? Is this coal mining from an iron ore deposit normal? I also had machines just stop working until I took the coal out and put it back in to 'reset' it. Hoping this might just be a tutorial problem?"

    Deleted Tab in the Blueprint Library

    Posted: 06 Aug 2020 03:03 PM PDT

    my forums post about this

    ​

    do you know how most emails have a 'deleted emails' folder? well what if factorio had the same thing, but for blueprints?

    whenever you delete a blueprint or blueprint book from either your inventory or your BPL it is not deleted, at least not yet. Instead of permanently deleting when you press that red X it will instead move it from your inventory or BPL into a 'deleted blueprints' tab in the blueprint menu. Now you can choose to recover your blueprints by moving them out of the deleted tab.

    when you close your game ALL blueprints and blueprint books in the deleted blueprints tab will be forever erased

    you could also move blueprints manually into the deleted blueprints tab yourself, and if you want to delete a blueprint before you close the game, opening the blueprint or blueprint book while it is in the deleted blueprints tab and pressing the red X will delete the blueprint just like before
