    My idea for a Factorio movie (feel free to steal)

    The planet Nauvis is under quarantine enforced by the 2200 accords. Nauvis was discovered a few decades earlier and found to have immense resources - literally right there on the surface. An early mining exploration crew found a small species of insect like creatures that seemed to evolve in the presence of pollution. At first it was an oddity, and people would keep them as pets. Some began to spit acid, and within a few months on the surface the first exploratory mining camp stopped sending messages.

    The rescue crew was too lightly armed and had no idea about the scale of the evolutionary progress of these creatures had undergone to deal with what they found. They too were lost.

    A second rescue crew was not sent. After examining DNA samples taken from the species, it was found that the creatures DNA stability depended on high quality air purity and clean water. The presence of the slightest impurities caused it to mutate - and always mutate to destroy the source of the pollution. It was a survival technique to preserve the creature's ability to survive. In fact, the creature served as the protector of the entire ecosystem, as it was eventually determined that many plants there require ultra high levels of air and water quality.

    An international team of bioethicists and diplomats concluded that existing law prohibited humanity from altering a creature and ecosystem this rapidly - all other mining and settlement operations were held to strict environmental standards but even those strict standards could not keep the air and water to the level of purity the ecosystem required.

    It was determined that despite Nauvis being one the most resource rich planet ever discovered, that it must be quarantined. The wealth of the planet attracted rogues who wanted to make a fortune, which caused the species to evolve further. None of them made it out alive. A few machine guns or even hand lasers were no match for the swarms.

    Further analysis determined that even at a few people per year visiting it, the swarms would evolve to be able to target nearby colonies. It was determined that either the planet must be wiped out, which would violate existing space exploration laws, or quarantined further. Eventually, the species would devolve back into their smaller selves.

    A shield was installed to keep prospectors out, and some automated beacons were set up to fire at anything in orbit.

    That was over 100 years ago, and the whole event was more or less loss to history when Billy "Dodge" Samson ran into an old war buddy at a small dive bar on the third moon of Kepler IV. The planet was past its economic glory with most of its resources gone. It didn't have much for land either as what it did have was concentrated at the poles. Large equatorial oceans looked neat from space but offered little economic use for the growing wave of human colonization. Even worse for this planet - a much better planet was a few light years away so people tended to see this as a stop over nowadays.

    Which is why the sight of his former commanding officer, Shelly Watson, sitting at the bar wasn't that surprising. A lot of people come through here, especially chewed up war vets looking for mining work because they don't like sitting in one spot for too long.

    She was missing her right eye, but still smiled at seeing him. "Dodge! Long time no see!"

    He smiled a little, finding it hard to get used to being out of the service and adjusting to not having to salute, even nearly two decades later. It was also harder to bury the memory of what he experienced whenever he saw an old military acquaintance.

    "What are you doing here?" He reached out both arms, she got up from the bar and gave him a small hug in return. "Sorry about the eye, I still feel bad about it."

    "Oh," she backed away a little, pointing at the good eye, "if it weren't for you, I would have lost this one too." They stopped, both losing their place at the thought of the events of that day.

    "I wasn't paying attention. I should have been watching." He looked down at the ground.

    "We were awake for 36 hours straight and we lost twenty people the day before, I am thankful we are both alive." She motioned to the empty seat next to her, "come here, I'll buy you a drink."

    "I don't drink anymore," he said instinctively.

    She smirked at him, "then what are you doing at a dive bar like this at 3 am?"

    Before he could answer, a younger man with a stern voice yelled over them, "Bill, some lady puked all over the urinals in the mens bathroom, you gotta go clean that up."

    He looked back at her, seeing her realization. He didn't say anything more to her, and went off to find a mop. He tried to find her again when he came back, but she was gone.

    As he was walking home in the corridors of the spaceport in which he worked, he thought he heard someone behind him. He stopped again, knowing that the port had security that liked to check for IDs at this hour.

    He turned a corner and there was a large security guard right in front of him. Thankfully, it was the one he knew. "Tank," he smiled, "you got the early morning shift, I thought you have that only on weekdays?"

    "Dodge, you know I gotta pay those bills." They had both served, but not together.

    Relieved, he started to continue on. "Dodge," his friend called out, his large frame still standing, turning slightly towards him, "you got a few minutes to talk?"

    Startled, "oh," his voice trailed off, "yeah sure." Tank turned around motioning for him to follow. He took him into a security office. As he opened the door, he saw his former commander seated at the security desk with a device that she quickly put away in a briefcase.

    Now he was intrigued. He went in, sat down at a chair in front of the desk. Tank stood behind.

    His commander spoke first, "This is the only room in the whole station that doesn't have listening devices."

    Dodge laughed a little as he spoke, "Thats because this is where they do the listening."

    She didn't laugh.

    "Dodge, I hate to see you working at a dive bar. You are nearly 45."

    He put his head down as the conversation hit a soft spot.

    She walked closer, "but I have an opportunity to make you rich beyond your wildest imagination."

    He looked up, "ok, doing what?"

    She motioned towards Tank.

    They both sat down on chairs they pulled up closer to him.

    Tank spoke next, "What we are about to tell you - doesn't leave this room. You can agree not to go, but if you tell anyone else we will go after you."

    Shocked at the threat, he backed up in his chair.

    His former commander put his arm on Tank's shoulder, "No, you don't know him like I do, he would never snitch, thats why I said we could do this without worry."

    Tank appeared to have been against this discussion, but he relented.

    His commander spoke again. "Have you ever heard of Nauvis?"

    He looked at her, "Isn't that an urban legend?"

    Both Tank and his commander laughed.

    "Dodge," she reached into a folder on the desk behind her and showed him a photo screen, "we were there a few months ago." On the screen was a picture of his one eyed commander smiling with her arm around Tank in a more than friendly manner. They were posing in front of a cattle sized dead insect looking creature.

    He didn't know exactly what he was looking at. "Isn't the legend that it's a dangerous place and everyone who has gone there has died?"

    They laughed again, "I guess we are the first humans to go there and come back alive."

    "Why would you want to go there?"

    His former commander picked up the screen and changed the image, showing graphs and numbers. "The amount of resources in a few square miles of this planet would be enough to make us rich beyond your wildest imaginations. All the colonies on the East corridor are short on U-235, for instance. We could get enough of that in a few months of work to make us never have to work again."

    Dodge nodded, but didn't really understand the full mechanics of this get rich quick scheme. "What part would I play? Why would you need me?"

    Tank seemed relieved he didn't run out and tell the first authority he found. His commander continued, "I served with you, I saw you in combat. You also did some mining work so you would be useful on a rig. But we expect to have to fight now and then."

    Dodge nodded, "So that thing you killed, thats on the planet right?"

    His commander smiled, "its infested with them. They evolve faster with pollution. Because people have been there, it caused them to evolve faster. They need several thousand years to devolve back into their normal selves."

    Seeing a flaw in her plan, Dodge interjected, "so you want me to go with you to get killed by them like the others? Doesn't the planet supposedly have a defense shield around it?"

    Tank seemed insulted, "It does, and guess where the command center for that shield is?"

    Not knowing what to say, his former commander answered for him. "Its kept here, in this room."

    "That can't be, why would they do that?"

    His commander stood up, pacing slowly, "After the shield was set up, there was an active effort to wipe all memory of the planet from official record. There is good reason - they think if these things continue to evolve they will somehow be able to attack nearby planets. They decided it was a better alternative than nuking it because that would have violated Space exploration laws."

    She walked over to a small console. "To keep it hidden, they automated the control of the shield so less people would know it existed, and they put the off switch on a planet that no one wanted to go to."

    "Kepler?"

    "Yes."

    Tank explained further, "From the planet's north pole, there is a communication beam going towards the shield and reading information from the shield. It only tells the shield what frequency to be on. It cannot tell it to turn off. It reads back current video of the planet to ensure that the planet is contained."

    The commander continued "We are going to get to the planet, interrupt the beacon with fake video, and take control of the frequency of the shield. Even if they find out - they haven't upgraded their communication tech on that shield in decades. It will take them a few months to figure out due to the distance. We would be in and out before they could get a fleet there. We only need three months on the planet to fill our cargo holds with U-235. I already got a black market buyer over in the Ross System - the Alliance has been sending them too little for too long and they're ready to buy a lot by any means necessary.

    Dodge shook his head, "how are you going to avoid being killed by those things?"

    The commander smiled, "I cannot tell you how, but I promise you we have a trick up our sleeve that makes success a guarantee. If you agree to come with us, I will tell you when we arrive." She put her arm on his knee, "do you trust me, Bill? I don't want to see you in a job like this and I know you don't either. Mining is done in this sector and you know it."

    He sighed, part of him not really caring even if he died or got arrested for doing this. "I know." He stood up, "I'll do it, and I forgive you in advance if you get me killed."

    She smiled, putting her hand in his and shaking, "Alright! We are leaving in two weeks. We got a warp capable ship docked."

    "How many guns you got packed in there?"

    Tank looked at her, she smiled, "only what we need."

    He walked out of his job the next day, and wasted his meager savings at the other bar in the station for the next two weeks. The morning of departure, he got a knock at his door - he was being evicted. They hadn't quite figured out what to do with the space homeless, but the general consensus was they had to leave space stations to become planetary bound homeless.

    Already prepared, he left his belongings where they were and took the few things he cared about. He pushed out the door with his landlord looking angrily at him. "You can have my stuff," he pushed past, "I don't need it anymore."

    At port 4a he found his former commander with Tank and a dozen others. It made sense there were others - he was an afterthought to this mission.

    As he approached, his former commander turned on the old military leadership voice and yelled above the bunch who were talking amongst themselves. "Everyone, here is the guy I told you about - Dodge. He got that name because back in the war, he dodged the bullet that took out my eye."

    She laughed, and the group looked back at him a little surprised. Clearly they had heard the story. Embarrassed and ashamed, he nodded and waved.

    Sensing the crowd turn against her friend, she added "but he saved me a few hours later by protecting my unconscious body from an assault in which we were heavily outnumbered. So, he is here because I know he can deal with being heavily outnumbered."

    She nodded and it seemed they all knew to gather their scant possessions and file into the narrow hatchway to a clearly second hand warp class transport ship designed to carry large amounts of cargo. He figured to himself that they'd need a cargo load of ammunition this size to survive what he heard about the planet, so it made sense. Especially with the desire to load it up with as much U-235 as possible on the way back.

    As he filed last into the spacious holding area of the boxy, ugly ship, he was shocked to see it was mostly empty. The hatch closed, and a slight push meant they were slowly pulling out of port. The group of men and women took to jump seats hastily bolted onto the wall as a ship like this was designed to have cargo and not people. He found a seat, and as he did his former commander stood in front of everyone, holding onto a cargo strap hanging from the ceiling.

    "Now that everyone is here, I can share with you the secret of how we will survive. You trusted me, and I thank you for that. I will return the favor and we will all meet again someday on the beaches of Proxima 8." She reached down for her briefcase, opened it, and with one hand pulled up a dark sphere.

    She held it up. "The mistake everyone else made was thinking they could take enough ammunition with them to kill the biters that inhabit Nauvis. You can't. You will run out even if you bring ten cargo ships this size full of bullets." She lowered it. "Instead, you've got to make your own bullets there."

    Walking over to a nervous looking older woman. "Gloria, you wondered why you were here. As the worlds foremost expert on nano technology, have you always wanted to see one of these?"

    "Is that a nano assembler?"

    "Yes!" She handed it to Gloria. "Hold this." She pulled out screen from the briefcase and started touching it rapidly. "It is designed to make production items." As she touched it, it made a sound and startled everyone but the former commander. The top opened, revealing a hollow interior. Reaching down into her luggage, she pulled out a small ingot of iron. She placed it in, and the sphere closed. It began whirring, and then stopped.

    The former commander touched the top, and pulled out a finely construct machine - no one knew what it did. From the audience, someone yelled out, "Thats part of a gasoline engine."

    Smiling, the former commander pointed at him, "Randal, our resident industrial expert. He is here to help us build the factories we need to sustain ourselves on the planet long enough to get all the U-235 we can get."

    Gloria looked at it, giving it back gently. "That looks far ahead of our current nano assemblers. The only ones I've seen take three hours to make a gear and they don't scale up well. Where did you get that?"

    Taking it back and placing it in a briefcase, the commander took a breath before replying. "We went over to the Darien Sector and traded with some Thalsuns. I've also got a way to monitor the pollution we produce and reduce it so it gives a more peaceful time."

    A young man in the audience stood up, "what is wrong with you?" The warp light indicator went on and the former Commander took a jump seat, strapping herself in. The guy who yelled also delayed his complaint as the ship lurched forward. Many pass out during warp, and Dodge could only remember waking up with another crew mate in front of him throwing up. Normal warp behavior.

    Out the tiny window was a large seemingly friendly looking planet. Only at the edges of the planet was a dull outline of a shield visible. He could hear the PA system had the automated warning broadcast from the beacon playing on repeat. "DO NOT PROCEED YOU WILL DIE DO NOT PROCEED YOU WILL DIE" in a monotone voice.

    In the front of the craft a pilot was working the controls as they approached the planet. Next to the pilot, Tank sat with a device, and was yelling at the pilot. "We are almost there... two hundred miles away... NOW."

    The craft came to a sudden stop, and the loose items kept going forward. Tank yelled out again "Everyone, we are deploying the interception device, we have thirty seconds to get through the shield. If we fail, we will be ripped apart and it was nice knowing."

    Dodge looked around and saw a young man and woman holding hands as the moment approached. Tank waved his hand and the pilot hit a button and they charged headlong into the shield. Besides being jolted, nothing significant happened. The whole cargo hole cheered.

    Dodge smiled at Tank at the front, and his former commander. He was glad he trusted them. The planet grew in size and they appeared ready to de orbit, but they were going to spend a few hours mapping first.

    It was short lived. Suddenly the briefcase with the nano assembler made a deafening sound, then whirred furiously. His former commander shot her glance at her briefcase and in horror watched as it opened and a fireball emanated from its cavity right at the ceiling. It shattered the top, and fluid began spraying all over the cabin. The ship seemed to suddenly turn and was now de orbiting uncontrolled.

    Gloria yelled above the commotion, "If you had told me what you had, I would have told you that from what we know about Thalsun nano assemblers, they cannot be transported through a strong EMP field like this shield."

    Dodge tried to look for reassurance from his former commander, but saw terror in her eyes unlike before. He saw Tank grab her hand as the ship began spinning out of control. The edge must have just touched the atmosphere because it felt like being skipped off a lake, and he saw more than one passenger get hit with loose items - they were not ready to land.

    The next thing he remembered, he smelled smoke and burning plastic. He felt pain in his side, and didn't know where he was. Then it hit him.

    He was amazed that he was unhurt, and a blinding light now poured through the window - it was the planet's star. He unstrapped himself, and saw that almost no one survived the crash. He went and felt for a pulse, and managed to find three other survivors. He was glad that Tank survived, but quietly devastated to see what happened to his former commander. He dreaded telling Tank, as he now suspected they were involved.

    Randal, industrial systems expert, survived. His arm had a wound, but he was able to help pull out Lynn, a 20 year old he would soon learn was a dishonorably discharged Marine. She had assisted in helping his former commander meet the Thalsuns by letting her through a military checkpoint. This trip was her bribe.

    Tank, Randal, Dodge, and Lynn gathered what they could and tried to get away from the spaceship. Randal stopped and ran back in. He came back out with the briefcase. "We will need this."

    A few minutes of walking put them far enough. They stopped. Dodge motioned to Lynn, "you got a scope?"

    "Yes sir"

    "I'm not sir, I'm Dodge." She handed him a scope in her rucksack.

    Dodge took it, and looked at the horizon. In the distance were small mounds.

    "How much do you guys know about the creatures here?"

    Randal quietly spoke out, "I know they will leave us alone if we make no pollution."

    Dodge put the scope down, collapsing on the dirt with the others. "But we got to make pollution to get off this planet."

    "We don't have a ship." Tank motioned over to the burning wreckage that was now billowing smoke. "And it looks like we are already creating pollution."

    Randal reached in and pulled out the interface stick that the former commander had. "It looks like this is a hacked interface, the original interface must have been unusable for a human. I can figure this out."

    Dodge looked at him, "so whats the plan then?"

    Dodge stood up and looked through the scope again. "Whoa, there is literally iron and copper everywhere. It's just sitting there on the ground. I see coal, stones... I think I even see areas where oil is seeping out of the ground."

    He looked around in a complete circle around them. "I even see glowing fields of Uranium!"

    Randal hunched down and looked at Dodge, "You mined right? If you can mine, I can use the raw materials to make things."

    "How will that get us off this planet?"

    Tank was still processing losing a lover and being stranded on a death planet. "We take it one step at a time."

    Randal nodded, "right, we have to build a few things first - but I think we we build a few things... we will attract..." he motioned out to the horizon.. "their attention real quick."

    Lynn stood up, "Then we gotta go get them before they get us."

    Dodge agreed, "Lynn, Tank, and I will be on clearing duty. I can get your mining started but you gotta take it from there. We have to play this by ear and monitor our pollution. Do we have a way to do that?"

    Randal reached into the bag again and pulled out a different, more mundane device. "Ah, she brought a monitor."

    Tank looked back at the ship. "What the end game here? What if we get off this planet and end up serving the rest of our lives in prison? We won't be able to make it out before they find out we got here. Our interruption will only last a few months."

    Dodge lit a cigar he had in his pocket, his last cigar and his last personal possession. He reached into his waist and pulled out a pistol. "It seems to me I am the only one who didn't count on making guns here."

    He started loading bullets into it as he talked. "They're small now." Each bullet was placed deliberately and quickly into the clip. He reached into his bag and pulled out more clips. "But they will grow."

    Reaching into his bag again, he pulled out grenades.

    "Whoa, you brought bombs on a spaceship?" Randal backed away in fear.

    "Yes, you know what? I did." Dodge took a drag of the cigar. "You idiots went to this planet and packed..." he reached over and tipped over the bag that Randal had. Cans of food fell out. "... food." Dodge's momentum stopped, but he took it in stride. "Well, thats important too, we will find a way to get food but thats a good idea to bring food too."

    He shook off the missed chance to scold and then started off towards the horizon. "You guys stay here, I 'm going to put a bullet in all those biters heads while they are still small. When I get back, I better see you guys making more guns and bullets."

    He turned back before running off. "It seems to me our only choice is kill or be killed. If we leave this planet, we will get arrested. So let's make this our planet."

    My first main Bus. Any tips?

    Solar, nuclear, both?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2021 10:41 AM PDT

    I have a question regarding expanding my power sources. I am not doing a mega base world kinda just of a normal play through. That being said, my base needs to be expanded and I'm a big fan of laser turrets so I'm going to need plenty of power. I have a few steam engine and boiler systems set up and I am currently throwing efficiency modules in all my stuff. I need to generate more power and am just not certain where to start. For solar I don't really know the ratios and I hear that you need a massive setup to get anything worthy out of it. I have a setup that is slowly crafting panels and accumulaters for now. As for nuclear, I understand a majority of how it works but I am still not really understanding kovarex, I guess my question really is, can I do nuclear without kovarex or is that just not worth my effort? Maybe a 2 reactor set up? I have a good red ammo factory and I can expand so I can create uranium ammo to help deal with the excess 238.

    beacon power draw bug?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2021 12:23 PM PDT

    I'm playing around with nuke reactors and using beacons as a dummy load. It's seeming like, in low power situations, beacons all of a sudden begin drawing like 5x as much power. It says on the numbers they are only consuming 825MW (which is what they consume on full power) for me, but when my generation doesn't keep up (I'm working on an 800MW reactor) my satisfaction drops deep in the red at 4.5GW of required power. Did I stumble across a bug? Is it supposed to be like this?

    Hi, this is my first playthrough and I'm starting with the oil processing, and I want to know that if all fluid in a container or facility is deleted every time you pick it up? Unlike solids that go directly to your inventory or the floor, should I have to worry about discarting too many fluids?

    Questions about multiplayer (setup & perfs)

    Posted: 17 Jun 2021 11:49 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I don't know much/anything about Factorio's Multiplayer mode, but I have some friends who may be interested in the game, but probably not for only playing in solo.

    I have my old PC laying around, IIRC it has an i5-4650 and 16Gb DDR3.
    I guess I could use it to run an headless server ?

    Would it be powerfull enough to support 2 to 4 players without lagging too much ? From what I read, CPU calculations can take a hit after oil refinery. I'd hate for it to spoil the fun.

    I would download the game through my Steam account on the older PC, but I'm not sure I can have it logged on on two machine. Would I need to buy another key, or could I run the headless server directly from the install folder, without Steam ? How would my friend join me then ? Just with my IP address ?

    From your experience, how stable is the multi ? How are the perfs ?

    Thanks !

    My take on a fish farm. A monolithic 1 rocket per second megabase with over 1000 raw ore belts.

    Posted: 16 Jun 2021 01:01 PM PDT

    My take on a fish farm. A monolithic 1 rocket per second megabase with over 1000 raw ore belts.

    ​

    Launches a rocket every second

    Overview

    Been thinking about building a 1RPS (rocket per second) base for a while now and building it as a fish farm seemed like the ideal way to do it.

    Overview

    Links

    Savefile

    FactorioBox

    Google Map

    Details

    The base uses the same blueprints as my 1K cell base. But it combines them together and squeezes in more belts so the blueprints can be placed back to back.

    The base was built entirely in the editor, and all ore patches were placed by hand, although I did make some attempt to make them similar to max settings (in terms of size and distance away) .

    Challenges

    • Getting all the belts, furnaces and chemical plants fitted together for LDS took a bit of work.
    • the silos need 15.8 blue belts of rocket fuel, LDS & RCU. So get it all to work I had to get each belt distrusted evenly between 4 silos. Sounds easy but turns out its not. Probably could of done it fairly easily with a load of splitters, but splitters are evil. In the end I used 1 splitter per belt.
    • I screwed up and didn't include pumps in my original BPs forgetting that I had calculated a pipe can carry 1200 fluid / s that is can most of the time in a small 1K cell base.

    [Feature Request] At least for the blueprints. Can we get to increase/decrease these values with the keyboard arrows? Chrome Dev Tools do that

    Terra Nil Demo Ending Option

    Terra Nil Demo Ending Option

    Saw the Terra Nil demo on steam and decided to give it a try. Really good game to just chill with and has what I'd consider a pretty good easter egg. At the end of the demo you're given a couple options. One of which was "I prefer factories" and it brought up a steam page for factorio and i'm in tears XD. They're trying to stop the factory from growing.

    BobAngel`s: Is it possible to switch completely to fusion power?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2021 11:43 AM PDT

    Question for experts in pain. Do you have to run nuclear and thorium reactors alongside deuterium setup? I can`t find a way to produce curium-245 and muon fusion catalyst without reprocessing mixed and thorium fuel cells. Am I missing something or it`s intentional? I`m running BobAngel`s with MadClown`s Nuclear.

    Can't pump crude oil into fluid wagon

    Posted: 17 Jun 2021 05:13 AM PDT

    Hey there i am super new to the game. Normally i wouldn't ask stuff like this since i like to figure out stuff myself, however i couldn't figure out this one thing, even checked several topics and no luck. Basically i want to move crude oil to my base with a train since i unlocked train related researchs recently and i want to put them into a use.

    I hope the picture is clear enough, crude oil is connected to pump, pump is connected to fluid wagon, but it doesn't pump in crude oil.

    I got 2 train stops, the train moves nice and well without any stop condition between them on automatic. First i did add ' Full cargo inventory ' condition then i tried fluid one like ' crude oil > X number ' both didn't work. The train simply stops at this station as it should but can't get crude oil in somehow.

    I read the rails being curvy at stop station might be the problem but the train is full stopped on a straight line.

    I am sorry if its asked many times before, i just checked several topics and couldn't figure out a solution. Thanks in advance.

    Edit: Yep the pump was facing the wrong way, thanks everyone.

    Construction robots bring items to the furthest storage

    Posted: 17 Jun 2021 05:08 AM PDT

    Hi guys,

    I'm having trouble understanding bots.
    I upgraded some belts on the right side of my base, the construction bots do as they are asked but then they want to bring old belts to the far left storage chest of my base, even though there are plenty of empty storage chests in between.
    Can anyone explain why this is happening?

    Thanks,
    Niel
