    Finally got around to the ultimate challenge: Beating the game in vanilla with all restrictions at once and without EVER getting the "hit by train" achievement.

    She's far from complete, and nothing all that special, but thought I'd share my LTN megabase. 70 trains, 263 stations on a single network.

    Josef 2: First long-term run and blueprints

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 01:18 PM PDT

    Build Everything Mall

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 10:27 PM PDT

    Build Everything Mall

    Blueprint book here: https://factoriobin.com/post/WPH2OfEg/0

    I've seen many different mall designs, but they all fell short, so I built my own.

    • All belt fed, no bots required.
    • Builds literally everything.
    • Except the burner miner, as adding it would break the symmetry, and you shouldn't ever automate those, ever.
    • All output is circuit controlled. Most output inserters are also limited to a hand size of 1, so no chests with 101 items.
    • Designed around a 96x96 city block, with 3 hubs per block.
    • Everything can be built with yellow belts (though some of the later hubs won't run at full speed) and is designed around medium power poles.
    • I started with just a little recycling via buffer chests, but later expanded it to everything, so the level 3 blueprint upgrades all the chests to buffer, and there is a book which will set all the buffer requests. The buffer request blueprints don't have inserters, so you can change limits and not worry about them being reset. If you don't want this, just leave the mall at level 2, with red belts and passive providers.
    • The pictures all show infinity chests and power feeding it, obviously that isn't in the blueprint itself, but left it in to help with visualizing everything.

    Obviously I didn't come up with this on my own. So thank you to all the giants here of whom I am standing on your shoulders.

    Now, on with the pictures!

    Hub 1. Primarily belts, power poles, and lights. It was also a good place to put the circuit stuff and logistic chests. I'm particularly proud how both gear belts feed both blue belts and blue undergrounds.

    There is a variation of this print in the book that is just the belts and power pole machines, powered by small power poles, to allow you get that just that part up asap.

    ​

    Hub 2. Primarily inserters, assembly machines, and trains. The locomotive is in the next hub, as it requires engines, but the rest of the train stuff is here.

    ​

    https://i.imgur.com/0mTD8Vg.jpg?1

    Hub 3. Power generation and the first set of engine items. The burner inserter, boiler, and steam engine limits are set for a 1-20-40 setup. Nuclear is set for a 2x2 layout, though you might end up tweaking the heat pipes depending on your design. If you really want the burner miner, you can put it where the burner inserter is and move that to the end.

    IMPORTANT: The top belt is stone ore and CONCRETE, not stone bricks. Don't ask how many times I've screwed that up...

    ​

    Hub 4: Power armor equipment, round two for engines, and the rocket silo. I tried to set all the limits how most people would setup their armor. Both the artillery remote and artillery wagon are here, while the turret and shell themselves are in a different hub.

    ​

    https://i.imgur.com/hFqtCo7.jpg?1

    Hub 5: Military. This makes all the weapons and ammo, as well as the spidertron remote. The limits are set pretty high, since I assume on peaceful you either wouldn't make it or don't care, and with biters would want enough.

    You will need to either hand feed or requestor chest the wood, as it is never really on the bus. It is only needed for the 2 shotguns, so a single stack is more than enough.

    PS: If anyone finds the slowdown capsule useful, let me know, it is the one item I can't think of a use for.

    ​

    https://i.imgur.com/crM8og2.jpg?1

    Hub 6: Combat bots. This is designed to keep 1 destroyer bot machine running at full speed. The ratios aren't perfect on the defender bots (you only need 9 machines), but the direct insertion was better than another belt. I was also surprised to realize the speed module to destroyer ratio was 1-1.

    Note: This requires red belts to run at full speed, as it takes about 12 copper / sec.

    ​

    https://i.imgur.com/BeyoNVY.jpg?1

    Hub 7: Power armor and spidertron. The remote is in a different hub, as there wasn't a clean way to add it. Keen viewers might notice this is similar to Nilaus's spidertron build, which it is, but I reorganized it a bit to make it cleaner. Also, all the items for the armors are buffered, so you can start the armor as soon as it is researched. No frantic running around!

    You will need to hand feed or requestor the fish, as again is really isn't on the bus.

    ​

    Hub 8: Artillery. This is the shells and artillery turret, the wagon and remote are in a different hub. It is based on 1 shell every 2 seconds and buffers 180 shells. You can add more chests, but will need to add power poles as well. I'm pretty happy with this one too, getting the tank shells properly feeding the artillery shells.

    Note: This requires red belts to run at full speed, as it takes about 10 iron / sec.

    ​

    Hub 9: This is a bonus, it is the for the Tiny Start and Power Armor Mk3 mods. I really wanted it automated and figured other people might too. If you don't, feel free to delete this one out.

    I usually play freeplay. But man, it's so fun to attempt the different game-modes! I had a blast in the belt scenario. What do you think of my spaghetti?

    Tips for nuclear power?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2021 07:36 AM PDT

    I'm about to replace steam with nuclear, because I'm not really a big fan of solar panels. What tips would you give me for installing a nuclear reactor for the first time?

    I have uranium really close to my base, around 6-7 squares away, so getting that won't be an issue.

    By tips I mean, how should I space out everything. Should fuel production be seperate or should it be right next to the reactor, how should I set up the turbines etc

    Earendel, creator of the Space Exploration mod, denies SE will be officially incorporated into Factorio. So it sounds like the expansion won't be SE as a lot of people (myself included) predicted...

    I'm looking for some neat/novel approaches on how to best get oil out of the ground and into my storage tanks. Has anyone got anything they are proud of that I could steal for my base?

    Does turning on peaceful mode for biters make the game too easy/nothing to stop you?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2021 12:59 AM PDT

    So I started my first world with normal settings about days ago and biters are just making the game stressful than being fun. Im thinking of leaving the world to make another world with biters on peaceful mode, but I'm afraid there won't be any challenge at all and it would be basically playing with cheats with nothing getting in your way.

    What are your thoughts on peaceful mode for biters?

    Does electricity flow like how pipes work or are things instantly powered if connected to a power system?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2021 01:28 AM PDT

    Im still a bit confused how they truly work because of some machines on half power but some machines are on full power at the same time

    Wrong Way to Play?

    Posted: 14 Jun 2021 09:15 PM PDT

    Hello everyone.

    I've been playing this game for a few days and I'm hooked, however I have a question for all of you:

    Is there a wrong way to play Factorio? I've come to really enjoy building at a show, methodical pace.

    I almost exclusively have materials backed up on belts while I'm planning more expansion. It's extremely satisfying to add the missing piece of belt and watch the components rush into my new build.

    Is there anything I should be concerned about in regard to biter evolution, or not moving fast enough to satisfy the needs of advanced sciences? I've made it as far as military science pack production and I'm loving the journey.

    Thanks in advance for your guidance.

    Trains looking for help

    Posted: 15 Jun 2021 05:34 AM PDT

    So my starting area has run out of iron but I have other plots of iron within my perimeter I set up(took a while to push the biters out) but I'd like to start using trains to centralize my operations but have no idea how to get them automatically running? Any help would be great!

    Blocked ore trains at 3am

    I was wondering why it had been so long since I had been run over by a train. Turns out they are all stuck.

    Any% today

    Posted: 15 Jun 2021 07:56 AM PDT

    I'd like to find a stream or tube that where the speed runner doesn't play the exact same map and base layout that Franqly got his current #1 Any% spot with.

    Seriously. I wish that there was a speed runner category like DS, but with a random map, and that's it.

    So tired of this Any% crap with the exact same thing all the time.

    If you're so good at the game to speed run it without biters, can you just do it on a random map, at least?

    Otherwise you're like successive generations of Japanese sword makers, doing the exact same thing in the exact same way, for 100 generations, save for a slight tweak here or there. No one even knows why the recipe exists in the first place.

    It just does?

    How can I check my ping when I'm playing on a server?

    I've read somewhere to press f5 and then it would show up in the top right corner but for me there's nothing.

    Starting my first world since 1.0... Any Advice?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2021 06:56 AM PDT

    It's been a long time since I've played and I'm by no means an expert. I have about 180hrs and I've gotten stuck/overwhelmed around the blue circuit level every time. I really want to get over the hump and launch a rocket! Any advice for someone coming back and basically learning it all over again?

    I also can't seem to wrap my head around a lot of the cheat sheet (like the assembler ratios especially). If someone could give me an ELI5 I will send excellent vibes your way all day. Factorio is top 5 favorite games of all time and I'm dying to beat it for real finally.

    Thanks!
