    Reduced Productivity

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 04:17 AM PST

    For quick context I am a youtuber (not posting my link unless asked)

    I discovered factorio due to another youtuber playing it in one of his videos and while waiting for a particularly dense video to export in premiere pro I started factorio...

    This game has probably halved my youtube productivity, it's so addictive that sometimes I wonder if it's digitally inserting crack into my brain via WiFi.

    I've progressed as far as the electronic age and restarted about 4 times each time I enter a new age I realise I could have made my base better and more efficient and restart to incorporate future planning for what I've learned. Spectacularly deep game and honestly very relaxing and therapeutic.

    I decided not to read any guides or watch videos for help and learn as I go and was incredibly surprised at just how much there is to learn.

    This is probably the deepest, most intricate game I've played in over 10 years.

    Well done Devs

    Art I started a year ago but never finished. I guess I never will, but something is better than nothing. I always saw Factorio in a more grungy and dark color pallet: a dead, dangerous place to survive in. How do you see your factories? *Posted during a train ride.

    Where is the rocket counter in 1.1 ?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 02:16 AM PST

    Usually the rocket counter popped up after launching the first rocket. I can not find it in 1.1, where did it go ?

    The shift-click trick for assemblers and requester chests makes it a cinch to throw together quick little factories for making things immediately.

    1.1 Trains, you've got to love them!

    1.1 Trains, you've got to love them!

    Been playing around in 1.1 with the new features and well, you've got to love it! What a GREAT improvement in Vanilla when it comes to trains!

    I already built a "prevent the thundering herd" system in previous versions but in 1.1 with limits this is a breeze!!

    Thank the Factorio Develeopers (Gods)!

    New mod release: Superheating

    Posted: 05 Dec 2020 06:35 PM PST

    I've released a new mod, Superheating.

    It's designed to add a tier of power generation that falls in between steam engines and nuclear power, and it does this by adding superheating boilers that take 165°C steam and heat it to 465°C, which can then be fed to turbines (unlocked by an earlier, pre-nuclear tech). The superheaters are more efficient than boilers (1.8 MW of fuel consumption for 3.6 MW of heating)*, so there's a reason to use them over just clone-stamping more steam engines.

    The higher-temperature steam means you get 3x the power per unit of water/steam, so it's more practical to power outposts by shipping in water or steam by train.

    The mod also adds liquid-fuelled versions of the boiler and superheater, so you could power your oil field directly off its crude output - although it would be more efficient to refine the fuel to light oil.

    The liquid fuel values are based on the yield when those fluids are converted to solid fuel, so the saving is in not having to do that conversion. In addition, this mod only sets fuel values if another mod hasn't done it first.

    * The technobabble handwaving justification is they don't boil the water from liquid so don't have to provide energy for the phase change, but really it's all about gameplay.

    n to n balancer problem

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 08:12 AM PST

    n to n balancer problem

    Does there exist a fast algorithm to find the fewest number of splitters needed to create an n to n balancer?

    Let f(n) be the smallest number of splitters needed to create an n to n balancer. I and a few others have figured out the following. f(2^a) = a * (2^a)/2, f(n * m) <= f(n) * m + f(m) * n and f(n) <= f(n + m) for all natural number n, m and a. I have tried Markov chains (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3AkTO9HLXo&t) but it became complicated really fast. Do you have any idea on how we can find a small number or the smallest number of splitters needed to create an n to n balancer for a general n?

    Here is a list of the smallest balancers that we have found. Do you know any balancer with fewer splitters?

    Please ask questions if I didn't explain well enough or if you want me to try to explain the logic behind the equations.

    are there any weather mods that are compatable with 1.1?

    Speed Modules mk3 + Electric Mining // Yellow, Red, Blue Belts?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 04:22 AM PST

    Hello friends,

    Question please - if I were to put Speed Module 3s (edit: I meant the green ones, efficiency) into my electric miners, how do I calculate how much miners to fill a yellow, red, and blue belt of ore respectively? Previously 30/60/90...?

    I'm looking to re-do my mine fields now that I've reached a good equilibrium with rocket launching and module making. Appreciate any suggestion for great efficient mining!

    EDIT: And I forgot - would I also use beacons?

    Best, J

    Taking off a main belt....

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 08:00 AM PST

    Saw a really useful picture/video here recently which shows a set up where you can set up splitters off a main belt to remove a belts resources each time you split it off. You can easily reach a point to see where the 4 beltsworth have been used and need more resources again on the main belt....

    Anyone possibly show this set up as im finding rebalancing really tricky to work out...

    Thanks

    Kiwi looking for Factorians to Megabase with.

    Posted: 05 Dec 2020 07:57 PM PST

    Hi fellow factorians, I am attempting my first megabase with a goal of 6k SPM.

    I am bored of playing alone so I hope others might be interested to join. I have a small base that is working on infinite research and have ample solar power constructed.

    The server hosting is in AU, and the optimal play time is ~7-10pm NZDT (UTC+13) on weekdays.

    How do you concrete your megabases?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 07:46 AM PST

    Let's say I'm willing to sink in the stone and iron to make the literal millions of reinforced concrete needed to patch the universe in concrete. How do you do that? When I build a megabase, I have dozens of small robot networks. So I can't really have construction robots do it. Doing it with my personal roboport wherever I go would mean my robots are constantly low on battery and can't perform the tasks I would like to prioritize.

    So, how do you guys concrete your megabases? What simple solution am I missing?

    How do I get rid of the foliage over the concrete floor ?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2020 10:19 PM PST

    I have absolutely no idea how they grow through fuckin' concrete
    Is there any mod that can remove them ?
