Factorio 2.1.7 just droppedChangelogs: https://forums.factorio.com/134095
>>741796550>just dropped>it actually came out over 30 hours ago>we already had three threads on it>most of us have already beaten another playthrough since thenyou're never gonna make it as an OP, just give up now
>>741796654im a little bit slow please be patient..
>want to play 2.1>but also want to wait until it goes stableI am torn
Is there a mod that makes me remember wtf I was doing before dropping the game 8 months ago so I don't have to abandon my 60 hour save?
When I finally play 2.1 I'm finally going to disable pollution/ biters to help with UPS, and install a zillion new planets.
>>741797007just start a new game with this https://mods.factorio.com/mod/faster-start
>>741797404you didn’t beat it
>>741797404lmao wtf
>>741796550More like Troonorio, haha!
>>741797659>>741798818i meant to link this onehttps://mods.factorio.com/mod/FasterStart>A starter kit with a simple modular armor with a simple fission reactor, simple exoskeleton, night vision, roboport and 10 tech construction robots (no energy consumption).just 10 bots so things don't suck so bad..
>>741798960I swear /v/ secretly wants trannies to have absolute control over media.
>>741796550What the FUCK is that heresy? You can't do that! It's not right!
>>741799096i will never understand retards who use mods like this. why not just start with a rocket and the entire game solved? the reason the game has challenges and limitations is to make it feel good when you overcome them. if you remove them from the game, there is nothing to overcome. why are you even playing?the difference in convenience and utility between minute 5 and hour 5 of a new factorio save is one of the main reasons why i even play this game. running a mod to skip the inconvenience of the first few hours is extraordinarily short sighted and will reduce your enjoyment of the game.basically, you are gay.
>>741799946I dont use any of those mods but i am a retard that will not, under any circumstance, make a furnace stack smaller regardless of whether i can supply it at the start and it gets tedious to do that by hand five times at the start but i refuse to rebuild shit later on because i roughly know what i will use later. Hell it's gotten so bad to the point i use long handed inserters to have enough room to change the furnaces to electric later without moving shit
>>741800879>i use long handed inserters to have enough room to change the furnaces to electric later without moving shit
>>741801476It's literally optimal assuming you're using the same footprint for electric furnace stacks.
>>741796875i took this time to quickly get the cheevo for full legendary armor with the space casino
>>741803260it's schizophrenic is what it is
>>741796550I mean that's cool but nobody's going to build diagonal stations
People who play this game have a wiring problem in their brain. Thank you for reading my post.
>>741803608I do sometimes feel compelled to put something up my butt when I actually just need to poop, but I don't think it's related to the game.

>>741803608Good thing we have people like you to run around stripping out unused wiring.
>>741803608
>>741801476I just dont ever ship raw ores. I always convert them to playes as close as possible to the miners. This means my OG furnace stack always gets decommisioned eventually, so making it future proof is pointless.
>>741799946i may be queer but i will not place items by hand when i can just make my robots do it
>>741805612why use robots when you could use a mod to place items and buildings down before you even start the game
>>741799946>i will never understand retards who use mods like this.handfeeding and handbuilding the same generic furnace stacks gets old after the 9000th timebase game should have construction bots native to the player character by default at the start
>>741805317You might as well skip the electrics for your starter patch entirely with this being the case.>>741805853Nah.
>>741805853>he played the game 9000 timesyou are autistic and your opinion doesn't count
>>741805317I started doing that but then when there were spikes on demand everything slowed down and when the mines started to deplete i had to make a whole new one furnace an all (not that is complicated but it just annoyed me). So at one point i just said "fuck that" mine the ore, stock the ore, move the ore on train, have multiple ore trains wait, melt the ore, stack the plates, etc. I have like 4 different buffers before anything gets to an assembler and if i need more just more miners on another pach and put it on a train
>>741806469NTA but I need to get better about that. I tend to lose a lot of momentum and put the game down when I hit those real midgame bottlenecks that require a lot re-configuration and intelligently redesigning systems. I'm probably just a midwit, but I need to sit down and actually flesh out train systems and scalable processes rather than get lazy and spaghetti into dissarray
>>741805757quality of life is importantit's not cheating to have 10 bots to kickstart a new game
>>741807169That's not QoL, that's just cheating.
>>741807169anon i never said you were cheating. it sounds like you are harboring guilty thoughts.
>>741807206it's not cheating it's just convenience and it should be implemented in the base game, if you beat the game once it's just common sense>>741807260i have guilty thoughts for other things (my sexuality) but not because of this
>>741807465>the base game should let you skip to yellow sciencelost me there chief.
>>741807465Don't worry anon, liking dickgirls is perfectly straight.
>>741807605it's not skipping anything it's literally just 10 free (slow) bots so you don't have to place everything by hand!! i am NOT justifying myself any further I'm having fun and that's all that matters!>>741807704thank you
They should flesh out the Factory Worker's ability to remote view.
>>741796550>still haven't made the campaignfucking faggots.
>>741807903have fun all you want in YOUR game. when you say everyone should get free bots your questionable sexuality makes a lot of sense.
how are bobs and angels mods
>>741796550>using cargo wagon as storage>only the left side of each conveyor belt is being usedConsider my autist triggered.
starting a new game on 2.1, first one in a very long time. Holly fuck i hate this game so much in early game. I have been trying to brute force it until i get to the good part, but so far it just does not click.
>>741808461>"Importantly, we plan to keep 2.1 as experimental over the whole summer (I.E, not mark it stable), so that mod authors will have plenty of time to update."Fucking gay.
>>741808461I haven't been able to replay Factorio in 6 years because of thisIn fact I just put a server up and tried again a couple weeks ago but it's just so meh
Any modded planets worth it?
>>741808461>>741809394what do you guys consider to be the good part? I feel like I usually enjoy the beginning but that's probably because it's the easy and low intensity part where progress comes rapidly
>>741810549the first few builds and expansions where you are sitting on a mountain of raw resources and the tools for expansion, then setting up a huge new factory that uses that mountain of resources and turning it on for the first time
>>741810549When you get roboports automated and start laying rails, ports and polesThat's when the game actually starts
>>741810549When you turn the corner on biters.Go full retard on VulcanizedanusLeave Aquilo foreverMake a retarded blue chip upcycler that gives you several legendaries per minute
>>741810549When you put a lot of time in a production line and you fuck it up and then you find some unique way to fix it and you feel so smug when it all "just works" i had a lot of these when i first learned to work with circuits.
>>741811109Pretty much, game is a drag until bots.
>Disallow quality modules to be applied to crushers with asteroid reprocessing recipes.FATALITY
>>741808461They made the early game worse with the trigger shit
>>741813313So what now, are people just going to upcycle iron chests for legendary iron plates? That was pretty much the main thing you got out of casinos right? For copper, people did LDS shuffle, and chips was blue chip cycling.
>>741813313>Get Asteroid Prod 30>Put asteroids in quality asteroid crushing recipe machines instead of the old way of reprocessing them>Get the same 80% chance at an asteroid return except you just deal with some byproducts in the form of ore>You can just try to quality upcycle the byproduct ore anywayCasinos are merely delayed, not defeated.
>>741813459I am not going to try an justified them being retards about it but that issue is solved with a single barrel and a solar panels>Pumpjack has its own storage so have it run and unlock oil>Uranium needs a single barrel with sulfuric acid to get an ore and unlock the tech
Gleba killed the game.I will give 2.1 one more go.
gleba was the best part of the expansion
>>741814786>asteroid prod 30Yeah, at that point you don't really need a space casino anymore.
>>741814786>>Get the same 80% chance at an asteroid returnThey stopped that too now.
>>741814998I don't think I have ever bothered using solar panels
>>741803407No, its smart and youre just dumb
>>741810549Sitting back and watching it all work.
>>741816918How do you do that first person thing?
im running out of lubricant because i can't use enough petroleum, what am i to do..
>>741796550>cross-surface signalseasy mode unlocked
Torrent where?
>>741817167>I'm running out of XDouble the productionWorks every time
>>741817167Power your base with rocket fuel.
>>741815557gleba is the best new planet
>>741817337hehe. not gonna share.
>>741817167Set up heavy oil cracking, put a pump after the tanks leading to the refineries, connect the pump to the holding tanks with a circuit wire and set the pump to activate only when the oil on the next step is around 5-10k below what you can store. Connet the output of the heavy oil cracking to the light oil cracking and repeat, then flush the petroleum and the whole thing will constantly work without backing up
so are they ever going to make another game or is that it?
>>741817337It's just on rin if you for some reason don't just own it.>>741821586They're making another game that isn't factorio, probably some RPG slop from what I've seen in passing?
>>741817337i'd share the game with you but only the linux version :^)
>>741821584Fuck it, pic basically
Is Space Age worth playing? I just finished up a base game run and I want more but it seems like a bit too much content desu.
>>741822050>>741821584thanks anon, how do i flush the petroleum if that one is backed up?
>>741822181Ya, its my gotyEach planet has a new puzzle. Its all done really well no matter how much bitching these fags do
>>741822754you should just be using more of it, maybe ramp up your science production. petroleum gas is the end goal of oil cracking, you use it to make plastic and sulfur. how are you using so much lubricant but so little petroleum gas?
>>741822754Turn it into solid fuel, then transport that fuel into a chest near a biter baseworks erry time
>>741817053The factorio engineer got turned into scrap.Funniest shit I've ever seen.
>>741796550Use case?
Any mods that make it low spec, out of curiosity?
>>741824401Autism.
Can you CreamApi Space Age?
>>741796654some of us were outside anonit's hot out
>>741824730Space Age is a different Depot so you won't have the files, might as well just pirate the DRM free version instead.If you can get the loose files you could use CreamAPI on it then I suppose but it wouldn't auto-update which would defeat the point a bit.
nothing, still, to relieve from building a bot grid. i cannot stand to look at that shit any longer. there needs to be another way to facilitate remote action. leave bots for logistics.
>>741822181show final base
>>741796875For what its worth it basically isYeah there were a few bugs that cropped up which is to expected (i haven't encountered any) but the reason they are mainly leaving it as experimental is so mod authors have plenty of time to update mods to 2.1 so once they put it into stable players don't have to wait for mods to update.
>>741796550RIP space casinos
>rebuilding>planning for future buildsEmbrace spaghetti, just build what you need now with what have and keep it up and running for as long as the resources last
Did they make quality less retarded now that asteroid crushers can't have quality?
>>741821696Thanks man downloading now
I used that mod with those 10 slow ass robots once, they were too slow and i just found myself building shit by hand anywayWas easier to just rush bots
