Is Factorio any good? How smart do I have to be to play it?
>>731025142midwit game, just use main bus, copy some of the ideas people had and you are ready to go
if you actually want to get good, you've got to at least have graduated high school which a lot of retards on /v/ have not.
>>731025142nothing in this fucking picture makes any goddamn sense and its driving me mad
>>731025250>Midwit game>Copy ideasLol. Bro self reported.
>>731025142>Is Factorio any good?Yes>>731025142>How smart do I have to be to play it?You don't actually have to be smart to play Factorio. Just persistent>>731025413My favorite part is the refinery making lube that's getting pumped into the heat exchanger
how smart? not muchsolutions are quite easy, game guides you nicely towards more complicated tasks, ingame tutorial will explain most of mechanics easily, and even if you are terrible and bitters bite your base, you can just reduce or remove them in starting settingshowever if you are not good at planing this game will make you feel like Sisyphus pushing boulder uphill, and your reward for finishing one design will be that next time hill gets talleronce you play it for a bit, learn shortcuts, otherwise you might go mad>>731025250dont listen to that retard, game is about solving logistical problems, looking up designs online is just robbing yourself out of game
>>731028390Name three ways in which it's better
>>731025142the dumber you are the more kino it is, spaghetti is just the soul enjoying itself
>>731029473People also say using bots for everything on Gleba is kino.Lmao. That's like saying wearing diapers is chad behavior.
>>731025413I especially love the long inserter directly next to a chest
>>731025142A little bit because circuit networks and logistics networks intimidated me. I beat the game once pre space age and have been struggling ti get back into it. I need a primer or something
>>731030385>circuit networks and logistics networksnever learned them desu and also beaten pre-space age factoriobut many people can't wrap their head around train signals and you can't really beat the game without a functioning train network
>>731025395>choosing to subject yourself to a glorified daycare/prison system for worthless IRL updoot pointstruly retarded.
There's a demo on steam, just play it and form your own opinion
>>731030832trains are pretty simple so long as you don't do bidirectional rails
>>731031506I know but many retards can't grasp them.Also many quit Factorio when oil processing comes in (blue science), that's why they made it simpler
it's not about being smart or retardedthe appeal is type 2 fun in a sandbox
I always end up just playing it like an idle game. factory is producing 10 potions an hour? thats fine, ill just run the game for 10 hours
>>731033219
The game with space age is like a 200 hour marathon of a million things you need to do.If factorio doesn't count as hard then you might as well call no game hard.
gleba
Installed it 2 weeks ago and still havent played it. How do I get over being mentally challenged bros
>>731031506>>731031572Yeah >>731030832 here and all I ever did was Iron Mine>Iron Dropoff
>>731025142im a retard that flunked out of community college and even i could brute force a victory.
>>731025142It's good and you don't have to be smart. Just be persistent. If circuits and networks confuse you don't worry about it, you can beat the game just fine without using them, though learning them a bit when you feel like it will help.
>>731035517That's not good enough for me. I want to grasp them, a least their simple uses until I can do better
>>731035898Their are excellent in game tutorials, and if you play with the systems a bit you will almost definitely figure them out if you finished high school. I was just letting you know there's not really any filter that would stop you from beating the game even if you're really dumb.
>>731034910Spending a lot of time doing something /=/ hard. Literally the whole game is just connecting x to y and then to z and then adding j and s and o and m
>>731036168There are like 5 tutorials that end at rails though?
>>731035238>thinking a factorio victory equates to a 4 year college degreeno wonder you flunked out
i sure felt smart when i got parameterized train stops figured out
>>731036168I beat the game. I want to beat space age while using all the mechanics offered to me.I tried making a mainbus but got bored quickly because ai was just following a guide and not generating the ideas within myself.I hate video guides. I want the kind of 10000 hour level tips that I can chew on and integrate into my thinking
>>731025250>lol man this puzzle game's so easy all I had to do was put in "GAME solution walkthrough guide" into youtube and follow the instructions and I got through it
This game showed me how unwilling I am to accept my mistakesI discover I fucked something up or could have done it better and I have an urge to go back and burn hours and hours of progress just to fix it instead of just letting it go and progressing in the game anywayjust like life, I suppose
>>731025142I'm not so smart. I'm playing My Little Workshop.
>>731035010>rebooting the factory after a spoilage cascade taking forever>eventually realize that I'm being retarded using the bio-assemblers to make the mashes/jelly instead of just the regular ones
>>731036348Double checked the ingame name, I meant the "Tips and Tricks" pages specifically, not the tutorial levels. They'll have pages appear as you unlock stuff that will give you good info on how it can be used.>>731036630I don't know what to tell you, you'll probably use mainbus less on the other planets. In general good advice would be to pay attention to the output/input numbers to avoid bottle necks and use that information to setup blueprints once you come up with an efficient layout for something. >I want the kind of 10000 hour level tips that I can chew on and integrate into my thinkingCompartmentalize. Create designs that can be scaled up. If you make something, could you copy paste another one next to it?
>>731036763For me it's the opposite. Tearing down and remaking old sections of the factory better is too much hassle so I simply deal with the mess I made and graft the fixes onto it
>>731025250why are midwits like this?
>>731036258yeah yeah and action games are just press X when enemy does Y
>>731037070I never used a blueprint either, I should do that
If there's one thing I'm kind of disappointed about with the expansion is that the main benefit of visiting new planets and making a base there is a +50% productivity building on something or unlocking stuff you could only find in Nauvis. I wanted something cooler that would really affect the way I play. I was super against quality the first time I heard of it, but as time goes on I think it's the best thing the DLC introduced.
>>731025142One of the more popular autism simulators. Nothing deep to it.
>>731037362Yes, especially if you already have drones unlocked, using blueprints will make your life much easier. Even just starting, using blueprints will help you with planning and staying somewhat organized.
Its really fun the first time you play the main planet. Planets are sort of fun but it gets tedious
>>731025142It requires a decent amount of thought to properly set up your logistics if you are building from scratch. If you're a midwit like >>731025250 then it is a fairly easy game
>>731025142You have to be smart enough to pirate it.
>>731025142Im retarded and I love the game. Im math autistic though so take it with a grain of salt. even worse I play the nintendo switch 2 version. At least I have mouse controls.
>>731037126lack of self-awareness due to handicapped theory of mind
