>>499166619Okay, so: I was thinking I could somehow mitigate pollution in the earlygame before being able to get pollution filters, but this thing isn't particularly good in any capacity.It can produce up to 5.5 usable MW of power and a blistering 8 trees per minute. It's made with 22 greenhouse, 10 for power and 12 greenhouses alone just to produce enough wood to make 8 trees per minute, and needs HUNDREDS of trees to be planted to be sort of pollution neutral.Meanwhile a filter sucks 75 pollution per minute out of a chunk for peanuts, but it's gated behind chemical science.
im gonna pirate space age 100 times
ahhhhhhhhh I still can't decide which planet to visit first
>>499171759you don't need much power in the early game
>>499172224Gleba is calling to meThe spoilage, the combat, the weird ore making...I feel like if I successfully terraform it, I'll be able to beat spage without a hitch.
>>499172224Vulcanus of course
>>499169757
>>499172669>you don't need much power in the early gameThat's barely enough to power 55 mining drills. You're gonna need 48 of them just to fill up a belt for each single resource, and you're gonna need assemblers to use those resources, and you're gonna need inserters to put those resources from the belt into the assembler and onto another belt. Now is 5.5 "that much" power? It takes way longer to reach chemical science cards than it does blue science, and even then that's just the equivalent of a handful of boilers in the first place.
>homing ammunition prioritizes lizard doggos over actual hostile mobs and hatchersOk, this is the first truly terrible thing about this game I've encountered. Nearly unplayable.

Solar's for the moon.
>>499174910earendal coded post
>>499174910Not him, but why not? I have no idea of how quality works.
>>499175275its easier and more efficient just to recycle loop final product.
>>499174910True. Keep yanking that slot machine lever instead of getting a guaranteed 100%
>>499175151oh shit i didn't realize you're using rampant on top of k2+aaithat sounds extraordinarily painful
can you make legendary landfill..?
>>499174697cant you filter out the lower quality items?
Didn't take time off for the expansion because this week was booked solid for vacation at work. Sucks because the DLC drops right as I normally get up and get ready for my shift.
>>499175445>just build 5x more infrastructure instead of letting 1 recycler handle everythin
>>499175779>you have to build a big factory in the factory building gameOh no
>>499174910If you don’t quality intermediates you will craft literally tens of thousands of everything for every legendary itemquality starts at digging out ore
>15 hours
>>499176012>recycler will literally spit out quality items 1/5 at base and 1/3 with legendary qual modules
>>499172224gleba if you hate yourself and want to chop off your penisfulgora if you want a decent challenge and good reward for your effortsvulcanus if you want babbymode and make the other planets a breeze
>>499175652>cant you filter out the lower quality items?YeahThe idea will be to quality mod your iron miners, have a splitter to send normal quality to the smelters for your base, and box the quality oresThen smelt in quality-modded furnaces, assemble intermediate in quality-modded assemblers, etc
>>499176012Quality is doubly better for mining and intermediates simply because those are the most high volume items so the highest odds at getting bigger drops. I'll probably just drop 1 quality module in all my miners and intermediate crafters and gather my crops after 5 hours for unlimited quality.
>>499172224Any time I get to thinking about any one of the planets for a while I'm like "Fuck yeah, going there first." and I've done that with all three planets multiple times. I have no clue where I'm going to go first. I'll just go where my heart leads me in the moment.
>>499176768>he doesn't plan on bulding a mega fuck you ship and setting up on all 3 planets at onceweak
>>499175489No, no not AAI thankfully, that was so painful I just decided to rip off the burner assembler and burner labs off of dosh's mod. The last time I tried rampant k2+AAI I got a wave the moment I finished researching armored biters, and THEN I realized I needed to sink 100 extra green cards into electronics just to craft them. Jesus christ.Anyway in any case in of itself the system is pretty straightforward: the only real option is wood until this is researched and with my basic greenhouse setup I can get 70 pollution for 7.5 usable MW instead of the 300 pollution for 9 MW I'd get from using coal. That's more than 75% less pollution at the cost of 10 greenhouses, for a measly 1.5 MW lost in production.The system is solid and scalable, but I need to craft an absolute minimum of 725 blue science to unlock those purifiers. After that, everything's fair game and you can reduce your pollution to 0.
>>499175652yes. for better or for worse, they've integrated the quality system into every part of the game. on everything you can set filters on (splitters, logi chests, vehicles, and cargo wagons), you can set filters for only common, only quality of any level, >= or <= a certain quality level, or only one specific quality level. and on all crafting machines you can set filters to only accept a certain quality level of ingredients.
>>499176975I don't have the patience for that. I'm so excite I'll probably drop myself nekkid on the first planet and start from scratch.
>>499173872what advantage does homing ammo have over just aiming normally?
>>499169757thank youkeep complaining kingfuck quality
>>499177027> I got a wave the moment I finished researching armored bitersI got a wave of armored biters the moment I finished researching electric miners. AAI really drags the burner phase much longer than it has any right to do, and K2's burner tax just makes it absolutely unplayable with rampant (granted, you can reprocess the fuel and turn all that coal into an actually greener fuel than wood, but AAI just changes too much crap for me to care about)
>>499177027i recommend going for efficiency modules as soon as you got red circuits, before blue science. the reduction in power draw and pollution you get from them will give you a big reprieve, enough to get you to the point where you get air scrubbers
>>499177175>on all crafting machines you can set filters to only accept a certain quality level of ingredients.Actually now you choose the quality output, and it will only accept inputs of that qualitySo you say "I want green circuit of quality blue" the only items that it will accept are blue quality iron plates and blue quality wireIf you have quality modules inside that assembler, then it has a chance of outputting a purple or orange quality, but the inputs are locked
>No, you don't get it, I actually MADE a legendary quality IRON OREThis is the kind of shit that Qualitytorio pl*yers are demanding your respect for
>>499174056Yeah, that bugged me at first, no pun intended.The ammo will also keep targeting the same bug until it dies, but the bugs die in one shot, so every shot you fire after the first is wasted because it's heading for a bug that's going to die before the rest of the shots get there. So you have to fire a shot, wait for it to hit and kill its target, then repeat for each bug. THEN you can magdump on the nest and destroy it.I've started just dropping gas nobelisks if I find myself close enough to a hatcher to trigger it. The gas kills all the bugs at the same time in a single tick of damage. Gas is actually surprisingly useful in a lot of situations. It'll cause hogs and spitters to run from the area, so if you don't feel like fighting you can throw them at mercer spheres or sloops or crash sites and then leave before the gas clears.
There's a fucking WORLD ANUS on Gleba!!!The furry has done it again!>Vulcanus has anus in it's name>Gleba has an anus on it>Fulgora remains to be seen but doubts are low
>>499177481honestly I feel like efficiency modules may be even more of a scam with K2 than they are in vanillayou get the ability to craft air filters after crafting a total of 725 advanced circuits because that's the main price of chemical tech cardsThat's 2 copper cable, 1 electronic component and 2 electronic circuits each, plus some glass and blank data cards and some sulfuric acid for the rest of the blue cardthat's really not a lotmeanwhile efficiency modules cost 10 electronic components and 5 circuits each and will grant you a 30% energy consumption for each one of themthe biggest use for those would be mining drills, but I can literally print another greenhouse burner tile with start-of-the-game tier tech instead of trying to shave THIRTY KILOWATTS of power off a single mining drill!I'm sorry, I just don't see it. The cost of those things is monstrously overshadowed by putting every single possible resource in the pollution filter and getting the equivalent of 7.5 MW of power back, PER FILTER instead of shaving 30 KW off a mining drill.
>>499176768>>499172224obviously the intended path is the reveal order of the planets>vulcanuspractically infinite resources via lava, only limiting factors is space (but not as bad as the other planets), and the worms which you can see the danger areas from the map as soon as you get there and avoid until you're ready to tackle them. mass production of plates to jump start your factories on the other planets. new mining drills that massively increase productivity of your resource patches which comes in quite handy for the next planet...>fulgoralimited space and limited resources means starting here would be a challenge, but because you were a smart little cookie and went to vulcanus first you have all the resources you need to get started being delivered. And those limited patches of scrap available to you are made much more productive thanks to those fancy new miners from vulcanus as well. the EM plant super boosts your chip production, combined with the boosted plate production allows you to manufacture in large quantities the best tier of belts, inserters, and assemblers available to you. furthermore, with the recycling loops of scrap and quality production being so synergistic, you'd be foolish not to set up your quality production here. so now you have the best tiers and quality of items available to you, allowing for massive throughput in your factories. I wonder where throughput is more important than buffering... oh right!>glebawith your resources rotting on your belts, and enemies casually waltzing over your walls to fuck your shit up, coming here first or even second would have been a living nightmare. but thanks to all the resources you need for your defenses, and the blazing fast belts, inserters, and crafting machines needed to outpace the rot all coming down from the skies like manna from heaven, what would have been almost certainly a dead-end becomes a walk in the park.

>>499179220eff module in mining drill double dipsfirst it reduces power consumption (which in turn reduces polution from boilers)and second it also reduces the miners own pollution output by the same percentage (which is significant)it is absolutely worth it to start producing eff modules ASAP and filling all your mining drills with them
>>499180358I mean the name dummy
>>499177298>what advantage does homing ammo have over just aiming normally?While aiming is still important, if your reticle strays a little off-target, homing ammo will still hit it.You can hit enemies in foliage or gas clouds (like the really dense ones that green alpha spiders produce that can't be seen through from a distance).The magazine also has 5 more bullets.I tested both a lot while hunting hard drives, mercer spheres, and sloops, and found that using homing ammo and mostly treating it like standard ammo produced the best results. Even when dealing with hatchers, homing ammo will curve to hit a flyer in many cases that would cause you to miss with normal ammo, with the way they tend to rapidly change directions and float around.If you're legitimately great at first person shooters and don't have any accuracy loss when enemies zig zag or start and stop repeatedly, can keep your crosshairs on a spider over the entire course of its leap attack, can plink flyers without missing a shot, etc, normal ammo is probably better for you. For everyone else, I would expect homing ammo to serve them better in most situations just because the bullets will curve to hit an enemy that suddenly starts running, or if you're leading a running target and they suddenly stop to spit a fireball at you, the bullet you fired ahead of the spitter will curve back to hit it where it stopped.
what the hell is /svgg/?
>>499173826My pollution cloud barely extended until i got ait pirifiers
>>499174910GRIND THAT POWER ARMOR TO DUST
anyone else ended up with a "kill zone"?
>>499180431anon, it goes from 100 KW to 70 KW per module and from 7.5 pollution per minute to 5.25, but this is the cost of each module.Meanwhile, with an air filter I can negate the amount of pollution created by powering 75 mining drills, and for those 75 mining drills I'll need only 10 air filters to completely negate their pollution as well.And I can just wash the fucking things with water.
>The question isn't, "Who will let me?" but, "Who will stop me?"
>>499181091yeah, that's a common theme in 1.1, the biters pathing is rather simple. they choose the shortest path that leads them to the source of the pollution that triggered the attack, and they concentrate their attack along that path. it's predictable and with experience you can learn where you need to set up defenses and where you can not bother.
>>499181846So you're saying that insects with only a basic stimulus-response intellect behave like insects with only a basic stimulus-response intellect?No way!

>>499181846I see, thank you anon>>499182078no way...
>>499175779What are you talking about?Legendary intermediates make legendary items. Recycling any final product will waste FAR more resources which would require a huge footprint to have any reasonable parts per minute in the quality you want.
>>499182347>Recycling any final product will waste FAR more resourcesWould it? Are you not ultimately using the same amount of resources?
People keep saying Vulcanus should be first and that would make the game easier, but don't quality shit get unlocked on fulgora?Imagine starting to build your vulcanus factory already with legendary foundries.

>>499182962DependsEarly on you can just connect all the endpoints into one loop, so eventually the packet will arrive at the endpoint, even if it has to go through all the endpoints. Which is what I ended up doing (and it worked)However some of the mainframes have an additional "challenge" of sorts. Spoilered if you want to find out for yourself. I have no idea how far you are into the game.The Monastery mainframe packets have a limited amount of jumps they can make, in other words they have a "lifespan"The Military mainframe packets are destroyed if they arrive at the wrong endpoint

Blue circuit productivity won't really be useful for Fulgora, will it? You basically just pull them out of the ground.
>>499184516>- You won't use itProbably not all of it. 2160 is the maximum amount of concrete you can use with a single mark 3 blueprint, I think. I have been using concrete fast enough at times to have to sit and wait for the depot to refill. Now it'll refill in about 70 seconds.This was really a test to confirm that depot uploads stack this high because I have a power storage station blueprint that uses way too much wire, so I wanted to know if I could just design a blueprint to run right up to the depot storage limit, then use several uploaders to refill it fast enough that I could place 1 or more such blueprints every minute.>- It could be much more compactTrue, but I had abundant space here and like to build first drafts with lots of space to make it easier to monitor and tweak them. My next one will be much more compact.

I will be buying factorio and this will be my first adventure into a game of this nature(factory builder or whatever genre this is). What am I really in for? I do like building things and seeing it all come together. However, I am concerned that my factory is just going to be COMPLETE ass but maybe that is part of the magic. I know I want to utilize trains a lot and I hear there are options for that but does that make it too annoying? How I imagine my factory is being very separated sort of I guess.Like I have one area that does all the iron stuff, another area that does all the copper stuff etc. Then the finished product will be shipped where needed via train. Not sure if such a setup is ideal or not.
Fuck I just realized that you can't get military science on Fulgora. That means no Mech Armor or even Power Armor MK2 until you go to another planet if you start there.
>>499189770the game is designed for your factory to be complete ass. there are tools for people who wanna make extremely organized gigabases but making incomprehensible spaghetti is part of the appeal.you can definitely do a train-focused base, yes. who cares if it's ideal.
>>499189770>I am concerned that my factory is just going to be COMPLETE assI am not worried about that at all - it will be ass, guaranteedBut that's part of the fun. Everything that is placed down can be torn and rebuiltThere is no cost to making mistakes, except time. Design and build, and if you need to tear it down and rebuild again, do it.Each time it will be better.Your thoughts for a design are good and you should try it out
>>499189770Get spage too for the full experience.Desu I'm pretty jealous of people who haven't played Factorio yet that have the option of hopping right into the expansion, that has to feel awesome.
>>499189770build how you like it. but don't expect it turning out good on your first try
>>499189428basically alwaysthe red biome grows one of the main fruits you'll be harvesting, the green one grows the other

>>499190145Don't you have to basically "beat" base game factorio before you can even get to any other planets?
Hit Phase 5 of Satisfactory, was it really too much to ask for a nice relaxed final tier. This is all very extra and I'm losing the will. I'd hoped to be doen before Space Age came out
>>499190359no, the expansion heavily alters the research tree so rockets are cheaper and unlocked far earlier. you can start visiting other planets around the midgame.
What is the appeal of these factory games to people anyway? Like what attracts you to them? Seems like a very niche group of games.

>>499190547>What is the appeal of these factory games to people anyway?I don't know, but I always had an appeal to anything that involves creating and solving puzzles, which is why I'm into programming and games like factorio>Seems like a very niche group of games.Very much so, which is why there's the /egg/ general and not a general for each seperate game
>>499190547if your dick does not grow erect at the thought of paving concrete and steel over mother nature's bounty it's just not for you
>>499189770>I am concerned that my factory is just going to be COMPLETE assIt always is on your first run, but optimizing it and figuring out what to do better next time is what makes the game fun. >Like I have one area that does all the iron stuff, another area that does all the copper stuff etc. Then the finished product will be shipped where needed via trainDefinitely possible, depending on how you build it such a train-focused base can be extremely productive. Or not if you fuck it up, but playing around with trains is always fun either way.
>>499188183Probably feels pretty good.
>>499189770What you want is perfectly possible, and I'd even encourage it, because that way you can build truly huge bases with crazy production.There's 12 type of sciences now, but the first 6 give you access to construction bots, which will make building/moving things way faster (like, 20 times faster, really freaking fast). It's perfectly fine to build a shit base to unlock a few things, and then remove all of it and build an even bigger base right on top, or on the side. As soon as you have construction bots and a mall, the world is your oyster.
>>499190547For me, I just like working with my own designs. In games that allow you creative freedom, I really dislike it when people hold themselves to a "meta" of sorts. It like sucks all the fun out of the game. Unfortunately, most games in our era and with the advent of weird streamer and e-celeb bullshit, people are basically all doing meta shit in any game they play that has options. Its really awful but I understand why people do that but it does make things unfun in my opinion. Like if someone said "Just use my blueprint for the base design and you will beat the game!" that to me just ruined the game. A lot of people don't feel that way though.
any good youtube train tutorials for factorio?
>>499186565>Factory Planner would still be betterDoes it handle fluids with multiple temperatures correctly already? Like Helmod did 5 years ago?Or are they still stuck in development hell where they require the entire mod to be up-ended and reimplemented from scratch to handle properly, as per comments of its own developer?
>>499189879>can't get military science on FulgoraWhy?
>>499189770The most important thing for you to think about when playing for the first time is automating the things you use the most. Are you using lots of belts? Automate them so you don't have to handcraft themUsing lots of inserters? Automate that shit Same for assemblers and pipes. Hand crafting wastes your time and leads to inventory management nastiness that can detract from just building your factory. >However, I am concerned that my factory is just going to be COMPLETE assAs long as it works then it's not that big of a deal. Spaghetti nightmares are pretty typical for a new player learning the ropes. Just keep in mind that you can always just move over a bit, build a new section, and connect it to your other base. Once you get robots and have things automated you can easily copy/paste sections you already know work and just double them to increase production of things you're running out of.
>>499191590No coal.
>>499191485This is all you needhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG4oD4iGVoY
>>499191746NTA, couldn't you make coal from crude oil or am I misremembering things?
>>499191485Ignore the other guy if you want the REAL tutorial. Part 7 is where it gets real good.
>>499191710II was curious about those little minibots that build shit for you also. Are they game changing in a way that strips the challenge or are they just useful? I can imagine this game getting kind of annoying if you have to build or repair something and you aren't physically close to it. Like what happens if bugs start fucking up a remote piece of train track?
>>499191485YeahSignals separate tracks into blocks where only one train can exist. A rail signal signals that the next block is unoccupied. A chain signal copies the signal of the next signal whatever it isUse a rail signal when you're fine with a train stopping in the next block and use a chain when you're not.
>>499191485chain in rail out
>>499191905Coal liquefaction turns coal INTO oil.
>>499192117the oil recycles back into coal, right?
>>499192017Builds can get real big real retarded real fast and manually putting everything down is a pain in the ass
>>499192263Obviously not.
>>499192263No. Recycling can't undo smelting or chemical transformations.
>>499192117>Coal liquefactionfun fact, I've had Factorio for eight years and today used Coal Liquefaction for just the first time
>>499192437>>499192472erendeaaaaalallllllll
>>499181041Feels like I'm in Las Vegas
>>499192550That's something that actually makes sense.

>>499192472>Can't turn iron plates into iron oreUninstalled
12*60*7 =~ 5040will i get the legendray fish before spage?
>>499192654You're definitely getting the hang of it, anon!
>>499192017>Are they game changingYes, once you have them and figured out the countless things they are useful for, you don't want to miss them. Unlocking bots is the point where you can truly expand your base >in a way that strips the challengeNo, they make building less tedious, but you'll face new challenges when you unlock them. Think of them as a tool to build stuff for you when you hit the point where building everything by hand would take way too long to be fun.>I can imagine this game getting kind of annoying if you have to build or repair something and you aren't physically close to it.That's why you automate that with bots and trains that bring supplies for them.
>>499192472>Recycling can't undo chemical transformationsOpus Magnum won
>at work>nothing to dowhy can't it drop now instead of in 12 hours
>>499192683You can turn concrete into iron ore though.
>>499192017bots build whatever you tell them to and you can carry several dozen. they also automatically use resources to repair and replace whatever gets damaged or broken, so you no longer have to manually fix shit the aliens break.
>>499192017Yeah bots are big lots of qol
Why did you not add an option to choose a different starting planet in vanilla Space Age?
>>499193236Bets that they'll do that in 2.1?
>>499193420seems unlikely, they'd have to restructure the research tree for each individual planet start.
>>499193236there's a mod for that
>>499187669discord troon exclusive game sorry chud
>>499191746Is the only stuff you can get from fulgora the stuff from scraps?
>>499193236because they aren't designed to be playable that waytrupen had to make a bunch of changes with a mod to do gleba first and it was a bad experience
Does radar trigger biters?
>>499193710not in 2.0
>>499193614Yeah. Just the scrap and heavy oil from the ocean.
>>499188068I prefer breasts on my Monday
>>499193614Like just this?Just wondering how bad of an idea it is to start in vulcanus or fulgora modded instead of in nauvis
>>499187669As others have said, it's because the devs don't want to work on the weekend if critical bugs come up, and you also don't see a ton of Monday launches because usually they'll spend Monday doing final checks and then launch on Tuesday, because preparing for launch on a Friday and then launching on a Monday gives you 2 days to forget what you prepared on Friday.There's also the concept of ramp-up time. If you drop on a Friday, EVERYONE that's gonna play is going to be downloading it and starting to play, and they're going to have all weekend to play and break things. Any major bugs discovered on Friday or Saturday are going to impact way more people than if the game launches on a Monday and most major bugs are patched before Friday.In a sense, the weekday and weeknight groups of players are the final beta testers for the release ahead of the weekend rush of players.
>>499190547Complex mechanics and iterative process in a dangerous world. Plus what separates the average games from the best of the genre is the dedication to enhance those qualities with performance optimizations, QoL, philosophies like "easy to pick up and hard to master" and other community services.>Complex mechanicsYou decide where everything goes, so there's a freedom of design and experimenting that can't be replicated. And then everything starts interacting with everything else in ways that even the devs don't intend sometimes. Each small item/vehicle behaves in a predictable way, but when you add a thousand of them, the system starts behaving realistically. You truly start to feel like you're the master of your own world. >Iterative processJust one more turn, bro. I need to place this so I can do that so I can go there to get that resource that will increase my production by 10%. The OG Flow state that all great games mastered.>Dangerous worldYou start from nothing with lots of ennemies, so it feels like you're making the world yours by force, it feels great. I don't know if it's just me, but there's an "empire builder" kind of feel to it. The game is complex enough that my shitty decisions can have lasting consequences 10 hours from now if I fuck something up. The devs allow you to fuck up (and sometimes to the point where you just want to give up and restart). When decisions matter, and you start to know your way around the game, you feel like a king, even when the game is abstract as fuck and the colored shapes will never thank you.
>>499193779I love that so fucking muchI can't wait. Fulgora or bust. I hope someone makes a mod where you start out on a fucking nightmare hellscape and (re)terraform it. Like Nullius but you start out by pumping fluoric acid out of the "ocean"
>>499193779Is there wood at all?
>>499193775what about right now in not 2.0?
iirc some FFF said different planets have different ratios of asteroids, like fulgora having more ice. where do I check? I can only find info on the planets themselves.
>>499193525Why would they have to do that?
>>499194039Wood would require something being alive
>>499194067makes sense if the more they're outside the navius system the more asteroids there are
>>499192017Construction bots will automatically repair and replace damaged/destroyed sections of your base and are pretty much required unless you want to go insane running back and forth when you're under attack. Logistic bots are great for moving low throughput items over short distances where a belt might be a pain to fit. They take a lot of power and have a battery that needs to be recharged so they struggle with long distance orders and can drain your base power massively if you spam too many. There's research that helps with those shortcomings though.
I'm watching doshs megabase video, can someone explain how reducing inserter stack size increases throughput? I still don't get it
>>499194154You can't make nades any other way?
oh boy the russians are so good at leaking the latest factorio versions
>>499194440Because the inserter will stop waiting to drop the rest of what it's holding onto the belt and drop a slightly less full hand instantly
>>499194440it makes the swing times synchronize so they are constantly dropping items instead of waiting and reaching at the same time.
>>499194053It doesn't trigger them in the sense of luring them to your base, but because it counts as military building it has the same attack priority like turrents.
>>499188374How high? That seems virtually useless.>>499189770The most important thing to note is that every game in the genre tends to be very different. Satisfactory is based directly off of Factorio and they follow the same basic formula, but because of the details of their executions Satisfactory focuses more on sourcing resources and solving 3D organization puzzles while Factorio is more about the pure logistics side of things.The second thing to keep in mind is that all factory/automation games are about OPTIMIZATION. The main skill developed in playing them is the efficient composition of factories and supplying just enough materials to get the job done with minimal waste. If you have no experience with these concepts, the only kind of factory you'll know how to make will be complete ass. But you'll notice all the ways it's complete ass, and your next phase of building will be slightly more optimized, and the other after that will be even more optimized. By the time you're 100, 500, or 1000 hours into these games, you start reaching the upper limits of optimization, and only then will your factories not look like complete ass to you. The journey from making shit factories to making highly efficient and beautiful ones is a central point in these games. It's the thing that motivates many players that enjoy this genre.

>>499195191This is 100% the wrong thread for you
did they make quality bonuses standard for everything? what I mean is, for instance, if I have a certain ratio of normal nuclear reactors to normal heat exchangers and I later replace all of them with legendary versions, will the ratio stay the same or am I gonna have to rebuild everything because some machines get more bonuses than others?

>>499192017Bugs won't attack train tracks. They go after stuff that generates pollution, so your power plant, miners, and assemblers. So you have to defend your outposts but don't need to set up defenses for every single track you plop down.
>scan hard drive>presented with 2 options>pick one>try to scan another hard drive>"no more rewards available"huh? I have 6 hard drives left, and the wiki said I should only have 5. how do I get that last recipe being held hostage?
>>499191028I want to stick my dick into one of these
>>499196419just cheat. nothing about the later stages of satisfactory was properly playtested.
>>499190389It's actually not so bad.The Converter and Quantum Decoder recipes are very self-contained and simple, and most of the other things needed for final assembly are the things you needed for the previous project assembly phase, and quantities are so low that you can just set up a drone port network to get everything where you need it to be. My experience of Phase 5 has been that it's WAY more relaxed than Phases 2 through 4. The only reason I haven't finished it yet is because I want to build better factories for the Phase 4 parts because I cleared Phase 4 by using the same drone port method to connect a bunch of Phase 2 and Phase 3 factories.>>499190725The way I cleared Phase 2 on this save (my first 1.0 save) was by cheesing it with stand-alone assemblers, because I didn't want to spend a lot of time and effort building factories that were going to be immediately outdated when I unlocked the next tier of belts, miners, etc.I set up an assembler and fed it from 2 storage containers. Then I went and grabbed an inventory full of modular frames to load one container up, and then built a steel plant at the nearest available coal node to produce steel beams. Once I had a storage container full of those, I took them to my stand-alone plant and unloaded them all and then left it alone while it worked through the materials, spitting versatile frameworks out into a third storage container. Which you can then transfer to the space elevator by hand, or you can build your stand-alone factory right next to your elevator and hook it up directly.Smart Plating requires Reinforced Iron Plates and Rotors. Hint: You can make these SOLELY out of iron using just ~5 lines of machinery if you find like 4 specific alternate recipes.
>>499196058Steam lists linux as having lower processor requirements. Make of that what you will. I'm thinking of running loonix off a usb stick and have the game installed to it also so that I can enjoy the benefits without having to join the cult
>>499189428What would there be to modify in terms of vulcanus worm behavior? They don't evolve, they don't expand, and they don't aggro to pollution. Maybe you can modify the worm-free starting area and the size of their territories, but beyond that there's nothing to tweak.

>>499190547Personally, I like to control my environment in games.In RPGs like Skyrim, I love spells like Fire Rune that let me lay traps for enemies, and Conjuration spells that let me summon allies.In games like Overwatch, I love characters like Torbjorn and Mei that can create turrets and ice walls on the field.In games like Dota, League, etc, I love characters like Venomancer, Heimerdinger, Teemo, Shaco, etc, that drop turrets or traps.In games like Baldur's Gate 3, I love using battlefield control spells that make certain areas impassible or empower allies, and I like setting traps like dropping oil barrels in a fight then retreating once the enemies are near them so I can blow them up from a distance.Most games in the Factory genre are about altering your environment to suit you. You find raw minerals in the wild, pull them from the ground, smelt them, make things out of them, and grow your factory over time using them. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Eventually you're making massive, meticulously detailed factories that are borderline incomprehensible to most people, but you understand every inch because you've spent hours refining it.
>>499193775>>499194629When was it said that radars won't be considered military targets in 2.0 anymore?

>>499196419If you save and reload, you'll be able to scan for that final recipe. It's a weird bug, and relatively new.The game stores the options you're presented with so if you keep scanning hard drives, it won't reuse recipes already in your pool to choose from. When you pick a recipe, it returns the one you didn't pick to the pool. This works fine most of the time, but when that one recipe is the final recipe left for you to choose from, for some reason it doesn't work and you get the error about there being no recipes.

>>499199680Are you literally incapable of getting any power if you just start there? Thats kinda weird
>>499200564yes, that's why starting there isn't a vanilla featureyou need at least solar which is a prerequisite for a functioning space platform
>>499200564That's why you don't start on Vulcanus.Although I'm pretty sure they said in an fff somewhere that Aquilo is the only planet you can't launch a rocket from if you drop in naked. Maybe that assumes a space platform above ya getting ice. I dunno
>>499200883I think the complete lack of iron and copper is why you can't rocket off Aquitane

When Factorio mods update to 2.0, can I still download the 1.1 compatible versions through the ingame mod manager?

>>499203532Is there coal on Vulcanus?
To the one guy who tried to help me with turret attack parameters and Ammo_Type a couple of days ago. I finally managed to do it by creating two new ammo categories for explosive and piercing cannon shells alongside all the other categories, so simple.The kicker is that ammo ... category in attack-parameters can only accept one category but ammo_category outside of it can be ammo_categories and accept an array of definitions meaning i can limit which shell goes into the turret and also add both for the tank. Total success. Your one post helped me.
>>499203608Yeah. It's even where you unlock Coal Liquefaction. You get some bootleg version that doesn't need heavy oil and then the real version that does later.It's also the only other planet with Coal in the game so...
>>499203608yes

what happens if I'm in a train on elevated rail over water and biters destroy the rail at either end over land? perma stuck?
>>499210892you get pillars on nauvis. The second research just lets you build the pillars in deep ocean and lava. Not that important.
>>499211487Oh, neat.Do you need both Vulcanus and Fulgora science for that second research?

Beat Satisfactory just in time.I'm glad it's over.
>>499182639recycling returns 1/4 of the resources used to craft an item.If you're running qual mods from miners, you have as many rolls as there are intermediate steps.If every ingredient has 4 intermediate steps from ore to final product, you get 4 quality rolls without doing any recycliong. if I'm doing the math right, about 2% of product will be legendary, and you'll still have a lot of middle-quality items left over; If you recycle all those and use the products, the yield goes up to 4%.If you wait until the last step, you get one roll, and then you need to recycle, which essentially destroys 75% of the quality you just got. If I'm doing the math right, constantly recycling all your non-legendary outputs from normal quality inputs gives a yield of about 0.5%. so, with the big assumption that I'm doing the math right, doing quality from the mines can give more than a 8x increase in yield for recipes with a lot of intermediates.
>>499211483Biters don't attack rails right now, and I assume it will remain the same in SA
>>499212264what about expansion parties settling over rails
>>499212345I've got your expansion party right here buddy.
boys i think im retarded... i cant figure out how to beat the tunnet boss. I assume i have to connect the mainframe to the end points but the packets go straight to a filter and get dropped and i cant change its settings
>>499212264Sometimes they destroy rails when a bunch of spitters tries to attack a train.
>>499211483you can now flintstones drive trains to make them move very slowly specifically because of this possibility.>>499212264unless they changed it they rarely can. Basically what happens is that get stuck on rocks, trees, or each other which makes them aggressively attack anything nearby. I might be mistaken and this only results in them breaking power poles not rails.

>>499212819So you're just stuck?
>>499212951yep
>>499212141but if you put quality modules in your mines you can't use foundries to cast plates, meaning you lose out on a shitload of speed and productivity
>>499213051can't you just send the common ore to the foundries
>>499212629>you can now flintstones drive trainsIs it faster depending if you have any exoskeletons equipped? Would be a neat detail.
>>499213051the optimal setup might depend on exactly how many intermediates there are
>>499212680
>>499209916Satis-fat-titties?
>>499212629>I might be mistaken and this only results in them breaking power poles not rails.It also happens to rails, I had this problem in a recent playthrough. Always happened at the exact same place, so I guess it was because they got stuck at some rock like you said.

Ok I finally finished my nullius game, ready for SA now
>>499217606Space Age feature btw.
8 more hours until the rightful citizens of /egg/ take it back for ourselves.
>>499217606How I'll sleep knowing it's another 22 hours before I'll actually be able to play
>>499217635I dropped mine at 200 hours in for Space Age.I don't know why. I was so close, already at arthropod breeding even.
>>499217635Bullshit post proof
>Didn't beat Satisfactory in time for Space AgeOh no what a shame.
>>499218009I only got to phase 3 before I threw in the towel. Building is such a pain and that's dumb because building is the only thing to do.
>>499218009I'm looking forward to going back to Satisfactory after the new year and trying a more organized baseI just hate how the best way to build is high up in the sky where the terrain doesn't matter anymore
>>499217779Don't worry, I'm sure you can go back to 1.1 to finish it once you beat SA. The QOL improvements aren't that big a deal, right?
>>499217939I'd say almost half of this playtime is me forgetting to pause, sitting around waiting for things to finish because I couldn't be bothered to make substantial upgrades, or running around like a headless chicken frantically fixing things when my dogshit 0-planning production/train network grinds to a halt.
>>499218009I beat 1.0 in like 80 hours soomerslops totally break the balance of the game. Actually just quality but for Satisfactory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPonWq4CRqU (fun clip from my playthrough)
>>499218278NiceI always get to Astro and see something shiny and come back to my base later and think "This is shit, I'll do better next time" and start overDoesn't help that I actually really like Nullius' early game
broscoal liquefaction can make pure light oiljust burn the solid fuel, and pump-prioritize its steam over coal steam
I got recommended a Trupen videoIs this guy Code Talker because it sounds like speaking English causes him physical pain
>>499218487*the solid fuel from petroleum overflow
>>499218205I mean, now that I have a sense for the flow of the mod, next run will be much better. Though I'm not sure how the fluid changes are gonna fly with Nullius' pipe systems.
The sooner you to go sleep, the sooner you can open your presents
>>499218956It all depends on how the mod maker's autism is gearedHe might not like the whole "infinite throughput" thing. Course I didn't like the whole "You need an entire ocean's worth of hydrogen to do anything" thing myself
>>499219019Shame I only need 6 hours most days and am also not sleepy
>>499219019WRONGI'LL BE AT WORK BY THEN
I can't wait for fluids 2.0
Fuck. I woke up too early.Now Space Age is further away and I can't go back to sleep.
>>499219332What in the sam-fuck do you need 6k units per second of?
>>499219275>I'LL BE AT WORK BY THENAre you feeling ok, anon?You don't look well - maybe you should call in sick
>>499219442Don't tempt me. I already called out one day this week and any more might send up a flag or two
>>499219378Masturbate and take a chair nap.
>>499218446Everything about Nullius is just delightful. I can't wait to see what 2.0 will bring to it.
>>499219653Definitely my favorite overhaul. Hope it updates to 2.0 in the next couple years
>>499219024I never thought of it as a hydrogen shortage so much as an opportunity to vent more oxygen. Plus you get so many options later on to recycle hydrogen in the production loops with benzene and methane reforming + methane pyrolysis returning hydrogen into the loop.Really once you have pressurized gases, flow stops being too much of a problem. My worst issues were actually feeding uncompressed air to my plant processing plants since I ended up needing over 25k units of air per second just for my grass and trees.
>400 hours into my SE playthroughdo I stick it out and finish the playthrough? I'm only on t2 space sciences right now, but finally got my full cargo network running at a good surplus, so it'll hurt to drop everything

See ya in <8 hours.
>>499220930ok retard
I made a thing. It's not a very good thing, but it's Realistic mode and I managed to stabilize without needing any loans, so I am proud of it. Had to penny pinch the town of Klibruysk pretty hard for a while. The crime need sneaks up on you, and the justice buildings are cheap enough but it happens at the worst time to lose all those fucking job slots.I'm planning my next shit while saving up for the nice track layer and letting the town fuck themselves into a broadcast tower. Is there a recommended first expansion? I'm leaning toward a farm/food complex as that would also close the loop with my existing fabric manufactory. It's interesting how the second you're in the black in this game, money goes from the most vital thing to a minor annoyance limiting your expansion.
>Phase 5 complexity makes my head hurt>decide to go back to basics>place one production building for the final assembly>look at what it requires>place the buildings necessary to supply those parts and hook them up>look at what those buildings need to produce their parts>place those buildings and hook them up>repeat until the only thing left to do is get the raw resources to the factory>game is relaxing again>>499218171>I'm looking forward to going back to Satisfactory after the new yearBut Anon, you'll miss Ficsmas! >I just hate how the best way to build is high up in the sky where the terrain doesn't matter anymoreI disliked this, too, but I made a rule for myself that I wouldn't build any unsupported foundations anymore. So I had to start using a lot of stuff from the Architecture tab, like Frame pieces, pillars, beams, etc, to start at the ground and build up to a flat surface to then lay foundations across, and it made my factories look significantly more organic. They grow out of the environment now instead of floating above it.>>499218152I'm wrapping up Phase 5 now and by now I'm really wondering why the game doesn't do things like automatically drop conveyor supports or extra electric poles while running belts and power lines. I'm wondering why foundations can only zoop in one direction and can't be zooped a second time to drop a 5x5 square of foundations or something. I'm wondering why there's no elevated rail to buy from the Awesome Shop that will automatically put down support pylons so you can just click and drag rail across uneven terrain without it shitting itself and clipping like crazy.I think the game is amazing and really like it, but so much time is spent on tedious little details like getting conveyor supports in the right places instead of doing the fun stuff.
>>499221203but i need to get back to my programming job in 8 hours. i'll probably only be back in 17 hours or so
>7 hoursWhat are you drinking when you start playing?For me, it's creaming soda.
>>499221842Just call them up, tell them you kinda got something stuck up your ass and you're at the doctors office and that they are telling you that you cant sit or stand for a couple days.
>>499220587Yeah, and then your factory doesn't do anything anymore too. Oh well, I had a fun enough time with it and I will never touch this game again
>>499222137>very funny Anon, I know Space Age came out today, get your ass to work
>>499222084Fucking love me some cream soda but I'll probably just have me some coffee and cigarettes for breakfast.
>>499222084Water.
>>499222215Tell them that's what you were celebrating before you ended up at urgent care.
>>499222187Yes, it does.It creates high-value SINK parts to dump for cheevos.
>>499222540There's only one cheevo for that and it's at 9 billion points
>>499219332is this really how you increase throughput now? it looks retarded

Getting close. Where ya going?https://strawpoll.com/GJn44kQkbnz
>>499223231assuming you get to choose it's an easy vulcanas. no enemies as long as you keep your base to the starting area and it provides infinite resources so you don't have to worry about setting up new mines
>>499223231Glebasisters.... not like this..
>>499223383But don't you still have to worry about running out of calcite nodes?
>>499223231Vulcanus give me certain vibes, turning lava into millions of plates calls to me...
>>499223623>wanting to be a weak willed bitchboy that worships technology, yet refuses to truly study and improve upon itFuck that shit. I'd rather be an Engineer than a Mechanicus.
>>499223162Dont' feel like afking for it because my end game machines are only producing like 10 million points per minute
>trains stuck>go around looking for red lights>add more chain signals at splits and merges>trains move again
>>499224797but you don't chain at splits or merges
>>499224797Remember, outside of intersections themselves, chain signals should be spaced full train lengths apart. And you should be using standardized train sizes.
>>499225604>chain signals should be spaced full train lengths apartuh...>standardized train sizes.UH...something to remember for the next base
>>49922448410m/m is 10 hours of AFKing, 5 if you sloop, and 3-4 if you feed in your animal parts. basically nothing
>>499225967Oh shit I forgot about animal parts. Alright I'll just leave this on overnight then
>>499225736It's okay to have some trains smaller than your standard size, but not larger. If you need longer trains, you need to adjust your whole rail network to accommodate.
>>499225604>chain signals should be spaced full train lengths apart.Does this even matter? I think it only matters if you put a rail signal before a block that can't actually accommodate an entire train because it will see the next block as "open" but the train won't fit into the block and possibly cause issues
>>499225604what about the spacing for regular signals
>>499225604rail signals need to be max train length apart, rail signals can do whatever.
>Trains get mentioned>The thread goes tardwaysEvery time, it's honestly funny.
>>499226469put one on every single piece of track
>>499226612anon...
What if I put a train signal literally everywhere I couldwould that work?
>>499227373It won't not work
>>499227373very bad
>>499219950230hours atm and and got t2 space sciences (chest fed ":D") and t3 for astronomy, I really wanted to try the whole space and spaceship thing with this mod and rushed it so in that front I'm good, but there is a big sunk-cost fallacy at play so I will probably make a backup game folder that will stay permanently in pre-sage and continue the run there
>>499227373why even worry about trains? they are worthless now with quality
>>499227970i like trains :)
I don’t really understand why the space platforms are a thing. Why can’t I just send a rocket instead? Because muh capacity?And if I have a huge chunk of rock with engines why is my storage there so limited? Humiliation ritual?
>>499228041other way aroundrockets have a limited capacity, space platforms don't
>>499169757It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't going to fuck up combat too, but they had to make quality apply to gear so the enemies will all scale with the WoW ilvl gacha gear the devs expect you to have.
can we play yet?
>6 hoursIs this long enough for a proper gooning session?
>>499228041>I don’t really understand why the space platforms are a thing. Why can’t I just send a rocket instead?need to wait for the elon space X mod

>wake up>everyone but you is already playing the new game because they got early access
>>499228359>gassed all his retards lmoaDo you not use airlocks on outer base edges? Or just non-ventilated doors?
>>499228563
>>499220587Yep, they had so many years and all they came up with is about a 100 ai voice lines. Truly pathetic
>>499228359>no water lock>no airlock>not even some fucking doorsI don’t understand. How did you even supply oxygen to people? Vastly overproduce in base ao it spreads everywhere on its own? What about random green gas pockets, just let them go wherever?
>>499228743In hindsight I should have, I'm pretty noob at this game
>>499227163it's been a long, long few nights. chain signals can do whatever.
asian women and engineering games do not go well together
asian women and white men do not go well together, as asian women are ugly
>>499229060>Vastly overproduce in base ao it spreads everywhere on its ownYepdig up and hydrogen flows up, dig down and carbon goes away, chlorine stays just above that, oxygen stays in the middle-ish at the baseIts pretty shrimple really
>>499227970You need them in fulgora
>>499228460rockets can only carry so much stuff and they cost resources to build and aren't reusable, that's the first bottleneckthe second bottleneck is that platforms don't travel instantlythe third bottleneck is that you can only have one landing pad per planet
>>499229432So every tunnel you dug outward was connected to your main base? And it worked (however temporarily)?I can’t imagine getting to map edges (where high amounts of nat gas are) and dealing with endless annoyance of random gases and pressures and temperatures and bacteria and who knows what else without those diver suits that make ot all go away (and conveniently need some doors so you don’t auschwitz your entire colony)
>>499229675Don't engage the quality faggot, he really has no clue what he's talking about.
>>499227970>They are worthless now woth qualityWhat? No, they aren't
>>499196669>>499197227I think he will have problems when he ends his liveboot sessionunless he finds a way to make the save persist that might get annoyingjust install it, if you are just playing factorio 100GB and maybe NVIDA drivers are all you needctrl+alt click on the setting button and enable async saving, thank me later
trains are made largely pointless by stackable belts desu, they just can't keep up in high throughtput situations. new pipes also make liquid wagons kind of pointless - why bother when you can just slap a pump every 250 tiles and have essentially infinite throughtput of whatever?unless there's no other alternative (no super landfill unlocked and you're on fuggora) you use trains because you want to, not because it's efficient
Finally sleep can take me
>>499229790>So every tunnel you dug outward was connected to your main base? And it worked (however temporarily)?yepI do have airlocks in my wood generator room though, those things spews out so much carbon dioxide>random gases and pressures and temperatures and bacteriathe avg temperature of this planet is -20, so bacteria are not an issue, they die instantly. real problem is trying to grow anything, which is why I needed the now gassed planetoid to make food for my other planetoid
>>499230679This reads better if you imagine more than 2 spoilers
>>499230736How to fix the fluid system:>lower the arbitrary threshold to 32 tiles>cap the maximum input throughput of pumps so spamming 10 pumps in parallel isn't viable
>>499231227>How to fix the fluid system:>>lower the arbitrary threshold to 32 tileshow would that "fix" anything?why 32 tiles? why not 8? or 4?
>>499230736as always the main purpose of the rail network is to be a superbalancer first, the cargo carrying is secondary.
>>499232610I can see the efficiency modules from here
>>499232610the ancient evil has awakened
>>499232861there's a reason for that
>>499230736you dont start the game with stackable belts though right? that capability is only unlocked once you get the bulk inserter
>>499221637>I'm wonderingWhat, maybe you also want blueprints with auto-connecting belts and power cables? Or maybe entire factory-sized blueprints too? Well fuck you! Apparently devs think too much automation in building automation will take too much fun out of the game.
will I still be able to get achievements if I change the names of the quality tiers?
>>499232474sure, except the moment you unlock stacking you can transport entire ore patches with one or two belts and unless you do some silly cityblock you probably aren't using trains to ferry stuff within your base eitherI use trains for oil because I couldn't be bothered making a 4000 long pipeline, not because they're any better

>>499235420well gleba is full of them
>>499234668I prefer large dark areola, It's a good planet. It's large which means plenty of minerals it's dark which means it's always night-time and the name is just comical.
>>499230736trains still have way better throughput (unless you have an absurd number of lanes i guess, and by the time you reach that point you’re gonna want the versatility of trains anyways) are WAY cheaper and are still way better for anything involving multiple pickups/dropoffs though (so basically everything). trains aren’t going anywhere Also elevated rails intersections are sexy

I have blueprints for many of these subsections but had way more fun ignoring them in favor of being creative.
G'day!
You know what I just realized is really neat about a way to print power that produces only pollution and requires no other imputs but water?Also did you know that efficiency modules actually make greenhouses less polluting because they actually follow the same scale of pollution all other when? That's because the more power they use, the more pollution they suck. That means that if you put 3 tier 1 speed modules to make the power usage 2.5 as high, these things also end up removing 2.5 as much pollution as well!And do you know what all of that means?That's right!It goes in the square hole.

>>499238240>Just use manifold jeezThat was another part of the experiment there. I didn't overclock or underclock anything. I used as little brain as possible. In fact, I was watching a movie while I made that. Usually, I set up a multi-sheet spreadsheet with everything in the proper ratios, tracking every little detail from power usage to building footprint space requirements, then use the totals at the end to figure out how much foundation to lay down and how many raw resources to bring in, and all of that consumes a lot of focus. This time, I skipped all that. I think my surplus iron ingot rate was only like 20 per minute anyhow.>That actually looks quite disgustingIt is.

>>499240306When you put it that way, Satisfactory is actually probably the better value per dollar. $5 more for the base game but waaaay more than ~10% additional play time. That makes up for having fewer overall things to automate.
>>499240550Its been up on the site all week dumbass
>>499240550Made me look.It would've been a good idea to release it earlier on their website to bait impatient autists and bypass the 30% Steam tax.

What's the rule for trains again?Chain signal in, rail signal out? And should they drive on the left like true British trains, or the right like heathen Americans?
>>4992406203:^)
>>499240827they should use bidirectional rails
>>499240827Download grid aligned blueprint. Trains are 4 cargo wagons long. Avoid double sided trains
>>499240827Chain in, rail out.Left handed drive will have all your signals on the inside of the tracks (Assuming two count one way rails). Can be tricky to signal intersections but the new rails will probably fix that. Right hand drive will have the signals on the outside of the tracks. It's purely preference on your part, doesn't matter which track the train rides on.

Is the factorio soundtrack available somewhere on the official site, or would I have to rip the files/buy it from Steam?
>>499191028floran cock too good
>>499240620We can hope, but these past 2-3 days, even when the thread has been dead, if anyone posts anything related to any other /egg/ game, someone will post a non-reply to keep everything about Factorio. They won't be responding to anyone. They won't be asking questions. They often won't even be making any point at all. Just reflexively posting Factorio any time any other game is mentioned. The thread will go 20 minutes with no replies, see a Satisfactory or Timberborn reply or something, then someone will post something irrelevant about Factorio in less than 60 seconds. Often more than one reply, too. Like 3 non-sequitur replies in a row.Once you start noticing it you can't unsee it. I suspect a single autist camping the thread, getting excited when they see new replies, getting mad when they see it's not Factorio, and posting a non-reply as a feeble form of protest.>>499240954Where were you a week ago when several people were raging over Satisfactory being discussed instead of the thread being 99.99% Factorio?I don't want anyone to forget that the one or two weeks out of the entire year when Factorio wasn't the most popular game in the general, dozens of autists spent that time melting down. ~350 days out of the year being 90% Factorio wasn't enough for them. ~15 days of Satisfactory being >50% of replies broke their minds and sent them spiraling into tantrums at least once per thread. Those losers deserve to be called out for being so pathetic.

counterpoint: satisfactory is dogshit and shouldn't be discussed other than to remind people how dogshit it is
>>499241451As someone that's been here longer than you, nah.Thanks for posting though.
>>499241649It does seemingly diminish the massive circuit-like factories that everyone (unless they're mentally retarded) likes, but I think the real crime is not allowing for negative quality. I really hope there are at least proper API bindings to subvert the entire quality mechanic into a real QA process instead of just "oh look I accidentally made it good" so you have to screen for defects as well.
>>499241765Would screening defects be the exact same recycler loop as failing quality is currently? Or how'd it work in gameplay
Interestingly enough, even without printing it on water, other possibilities emerge!With 30 total speed modules in the greenhouses, this thing actually absorbs 125 pollution per minute and produces 5 MW. That's less than the 7.5 MW it produces without speed beacons, but it completely negates its pollution as well, meanwhile the unmodules tile produced 75 pollution. This makes it essentially as green as solar, but with the perk that it works 24/7, and at a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the footprint, since50 solar panels and the accumulators necessary to make it also works during the night would balloon its costs significantly.Also I'm playing on permanight so solar is kind of out of the question. This is actually fascinating, I was trying to find if I could simply print this thing on water to get rid of the pollution and I stumbled upon something else that gets rid of the pollution entirely. Now I just gotta factor in the actual cost of using it compared to solar to see how competitive it is in a normal run but this feels like a no-brainer in my situation.Turns out the speed modules were the better version of efficiency modules all along!
>>499241649Better yet, make stuff using MAMs, that's probably the best way to make use of your first set of legendary modules/beacons/assemblershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5GshPJvBQE
>>499241375God I wish I could leave you in a hot car. I bet your mom had the same thought.
>>499241821It should depend on what is actually defective, like in real life. Is it a raw or near-raw ingredient, which merely fails to be processed? Send her back through. Is it an intermediate component? Either scrap entirely or try to recycle components. Is it an end product? Either deal with it being cruddy or recycle it. I want the recycler to be really expensive to run, too, either resource or energy wise, so it's an actual strategic decision whether you either expand normally or opt for quality, rather than always going for quality because lmao just recycle everything
>>499241451That's backwards, though. Factorio doesn't bother me. Retards that run the thread into the ground any time it's not the sole focus of discussion are the problem. I play both games, which is why I'm here. I'm going to be playing the shit out of Factorio this week. That doesn't make me hate the retards that were/are derailing Satisfactory discussions any less. We shouldn't have to fracture an already niche general into even smaller threads just because a handful of you trash can't help but fly into a blind rage when other games are mentioned.
>>499241975Sure sounds like a lot of optional busywork for a game with infinite resources where I can brute force five-star gacha rolls until I succeed
>>499241975True yeah recycler being more expensive makes sense. With the insane productivity bonuses raw resources are cheaper than ever. Probably much cheaper than the increased costs of new top items?
>>499242029Then scrap all of that shit. Burn it and pollute the landscape. Middens and tailings piles when? Open pit mines when? Water treatment because you polluted all your inputs when?
ive been gooning for like 4 hours non stop so i wont need to goon for a few hours after space age drops
>>499241359That is some pretty intense paranoia. Do you think the CIA is after you sometimes? Do you refuse to look up when outside so the satellites can't see your face? Don't be dumb, anon.
>>499241827why do you care about pollution cloud?either you're on a deathworld where you need to outpace evolution (which means you want to not produce pollution, ie elf modules, because evolution doesn't lower by -pollution buildings) or you use air filters to keep your emissions at zero
So, what do the egg producing biter bases do? What do i use eggs for on nauvis? Or is it just a polution converter?
>>499241982They'd hang in satisfactory thread anyways to make sure everyone knows they don't approveDemand to take it to some other board too because reeeee
if you want serious fixes you need to get the devs to take it seriously, they pitched and seem to think of quality as a fun gacha mechanic for your multiplayer server, they dont give a shit that its stupid and if the names and the response to them wasnt clear enough thats very much the point.it started as a good idea to do something with the modules other than just prod and speed with no alternative but the problem now is how comically busted this is and also just furthers the actual problems with the module spam meta, variety definitely wasnt a big enough deal to be worth this.most of why this game is so good is it making you build nice huge good looking factories, but this reduces the incentives to making a couple stroboscoping shitboxes with the hideous quality icons on every building, why would i even want to look at that not even mention enjoying it?
>>499242207eggs are required for prod 3
>>499242207Eggs are required for prod mod 3s
Which mode for first playthrough? I'm thinking no biters at all so can just construct and not worry about the little shits.Later go for default or deathworld after had my fill of empty building
>>499242291>no biters at allhow do you faggots sleep at night
>>499242180>why do you care about pollution cloud?Rampant death world.> or you use air filters to keep your emissions at zeroThis is a side-step to provide power before you unlock filters! I'm going to be using those speed modules for RCUs later in any case, instead of elf modules which have no real use case in bulk (outside of the mk 2 power armor I guess).
>>499242207>So, what do the egg producing biter bases do?you need to eat all the eggs
>>499242207can you let the eggs hatch on another planet and will the biters make nests?
>>499242340elf modules and using solar panels without accumulators trivialize deathworldwood burning steam engines take up a lot of space - and I mean a lot - and you outpace them quickly with the standard 18MW self sustaining gas setup. you also unlock air scrubbing quickly enough to make them not worth it.you do you but I just don't see much point in it (having tried sth like it myself)

>>499243031>1 bong and 11 bings actuallyHow many googles is that?
>>499243031I think it's actually 2 bongs and (now) 7 bings.It will say 1 bong remaining, but then when that bong ticks over, it will say "less than a bong remaining", in which case we must wait one additional bong.Unless they changed it. I certainly hope I'm wrong.
>>499242535>and you outpace them quickly with the standard 18MW self sustaining gas setup.No no no, I mean obviously I'm going to use gas power later. Once I unlock filters, everything about this as a power generation method is just going to be redundant.Thing is: The infrastructure is all going to be there in the first place (that wood is literally never going to stop being useful the whole game because you need wood for circuits later, and that coke is not going to burn itself without it) before I have access to gas, and the speed modules are going to be need to be crafted and recycled for RCUs, which means I'm literally just reusing infrastructure and recycling components later on!The entire setup never stops being useful, it just gets converted later on when I have the option to remove pollution. It's just really fucking funny to think that you can get wood power to be carbon neutral just by chucking speed modules at the greenhouses to make more of it.Also, it comes with the added bonus of giving me even more wooden walls in the meantime, to stop the biters from entering ad interim! Also, yeah no that's fair, it's technically not better than solar space-wise, I agree.
This might be a dumb question, but do your factories on other planet keep chugging along when you're not there? Full simulation, resource depletion, biter attacks?

>>499245887Hmm.The payment processor seems to be Stripe, which I'm pretty sure doesn't take that much. I think it's probably like a couple of %?The actual sale is done throuhg a humble bundle widget, which according to their FAQ https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/202742190-Widget-Developer-FAQ takes another 5% cut. So in the end it does work out quite a bit better than Steam.Though another thing I just remembered is that only Steam purchases will affect the Steam review score; so if you buy it on Steam we can affect the ration (whether that be to help bolster it into being overwhelmingly positive, or if one hates the expansion, then actually put in a negative review that affects it). Whereas someone who got a steam key from the devs won't be counted into the steam score calculation.

Man, I hate being a Steam cuck
I'm gonna be late for my lingebra tutorial
>>499248552>>499248635>not giving your money to wube directlyI can't believe you'd do this. You even get a key to connect to steam afterwards and everything.
>>499247986Stop, I don't want the pain to come back
>>499248717oh for real? i thought i was locked in to steam because i bought the base game there.i'll do that then.
>>499248717How do you buy Space Age directly?
>>499248717>directlya lie, they still go through Humble (lie) Indie (lie) Bundle (lie)
>complete the last sleep before spage>still no spage

Thanks you /egg/ for being mostly civil and not posting too many spoilers. It has been a fun few months waiting for the FFFs and shitposting wildly with you. I've been banned like five times posting nsfw shit that made me laugh, hopefully you had fun too. It's unlikely that I'll feel that way for any other games, except maybe for that future rpg. See you on the other side.
>>499248849>directly>humble bundle
>>499248717Gabe>wube
>>499248717Even buying from the official site 25% of the money goes to their integrator. Kovarex suggests it's best for Wube if you buy from Steam.
>>499248864>getting it on steam means exposure for the game and lets you write a review that counts towards the total>copeYeah, that's a pretty fucking big cope, I agree.
>>499248897okay post all the NSFW shit before you commit suicide
Where is my Gypsy pal for hosting /egg/torio serb?
>>499248717my money for the expansion is on steam
>>499248897Your engineer canonically dies and gets put inside a metal sarcophagus to become a true factory building machine.
>>499248916>Kovarex suggests it's best for Wube if you buy from Steam.source me up, bruh.
so release 2.0.7 is golden right?
On the space age buy page on their official site, nowhere does it state it needs the basegame, it uses the word expansion but from history i know thats not actually enough because standalone expansions are a thing, granted it doesn't use the word standalone either. They want to fix that before it turns into asspain.
>>499247993It's okay on a Steam Deck, not ideal though.
>>499249026not that guy so I have no idea where he said it but i've heard similar things from other devspeople buying/interacting with it on steam -> steam pushes your game more -> you sell more copiesi don't think this matters much for them at this point with how well known it is, but most indies would kill for you to buy it on steam even if they get less money from (you) because they get more money in the long run
Is it true that the ending is you becoming a bug?
All bugs replaced with anthros but still bugs mod when?
>>499249204>you become a bug>you get fixed for 2.1KINO
>>499249204Yeah, then you get transported into another players game and have to survive
>>499247297I've been sitting around listening to the yume 2kki ost on loop to get myself in the mindset, knowing I've got to go out shortly after release so I won't get to play for a bit.
>>499248806https://factorio.com/buy-space-agei think here when it updates
>>499249026https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtALqDo9rX8&t=28m52s>F: How can the community of your fans help you, help your company, except by buying more copies of Factorio?>K: When they buy the new DLC, that will help.>F: Of course they will buy it.>K: On the release date. This is how it works on Steam. Not quite sure about the DLC but when we released the 1.0, we did some research. During the release, your game gets shown to people, they hopefully buy it, they tell other people, they buy it too, etc... And when this initial wave does not happen, you cannot salvage the situation. When the wave happens, you are succesful. And for us it happened and we were succesful. And we were prepared for it. For the DLC, it might be similar and buying it during the first wave might really help us.
>have to take a shit a T-5NOOOOHOLD ME BROSWE'RE ALL GOING TO MAKE IT
>>499249425>refuses to go on sale>yet still engages in jewish "Engagement" sales tacticstalk about ethics

>>499249672yea 8 mins
>>499249609ok retardbut even kovarex says buying it on steam in the first wave is worth it for them
the 1.0 release is so close lads, just a few months and we are finally out of EA
2 more weeks, I'm starting to get excited
>only 1 month to goHoly shit lads it just dawned on me
still no 2.0 ready mod that gives you starting construction bots, but I guess vanilla is a lot faster to progress to bots than SE (which is all I played for a long time)
Only 5 more minutes..!
Factorio is only good as fap material and that's it, otherwise totally worthless
>>499248864buying on their site gives them 10 more bucks
factorio?
maybe make new thread
>>499249891>Factorio>fap materialwhat the fuckyou've gone too far into the rabbit hole, brother
FUCKThe mall blueprint I made for the expansion is SHITI forgot about so many items
>>499249981being able to do spaghetti again is the one the main appeals of this expansion though... throw out the blueprints and just build. :)
>vanilla settings>0 mods>0 blueprintsyeah i'm thinking we're back
>can modules + beacon + quality assemblers>can't do any of it with handcraftingcringe

Humble bundle is fucking declining all my cards, what is this shit? I KNOW I've typed the details correctly. I'm trying with multiple banks so it's not just one of them having overzealous fraud protection. Is the Humble widget blocking the sale of SA somehow?>>499250361You have to claim the steam key separately though the website.
>>499250362>4.4 gigabyteronisthat's over twice as much as I expected, wtfwasn't base like 1.2gb?also yeah, website is fucking dead and i don't remember my steam details, fml

Are the steam servers slow right now? Normally I get 5-10mb/s
Website works eventually, anonsI bought through Humble Bundle, it gave me a codeClicked on the Profile and did the "input upgrade code" and that gave me access on websiteThen I got the Steam key emailed to me from Wube further down the Profile page

anyone with apple silicon seeing terrible perf?
