>>543272794what assembler circuit recipe setting does to a mf
>>543251104The Ministry of Health of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics had classified them as low-pollution industries.
I can't find out where to use this
>claims to be a paid shill>shill nothing in the OPYou don't seem to grasp the spirit of paid shilling, OP...
>>543273124blue book in the top left
I have achieved all 5 required cultivated flora to actually get deeper into pyblock. I might actually be able to progress further this time.
Finally I have plastics. The basyngas recipe generating tar meant I had to make an entire second tar conversion machine chain just to flush it
>>543273162Well he did say he was the paid shill replacement (though I've never seem shilling in the OP?)Maybe they're paid as much as jannies, idk
>>543273214where tho
>>543276859TURD option
>>543252826>How do you ensure power and heating plants function with no downtime, if they have to be built outside walking distance? You want to be delivering a portion of the required workforce at regular intervals so the building doesn't lose all its workers at once and shut down.Use vehicles with a capacity of 1/3 or less of the number of jobs or use the "at this station load: x%" function to limit how many workers it can hold.Make these vehicles arrive at regular intervals by enabling line spacing or by including an end station in their line. Fine tune the interval by adding more vehicles or specifying an interval in the end station. Also build a station near the workplace, deliver workers there, and force off the extra workers so they check for empty jobs a day later.>People always prioritize working at places they can walk to over taking a car or public transport.This is solved by having more workers than jobs within walking distance so the surplus always goes to a station for work. You need about 3 workers to keep one job filled around the clock, plus some extra to account for transportation goofs like delivering too many workers to a factory, so do the math.>taking a carStay away from personal cars until you know more about the game. Their uses are quite limited and require a lot of game knowledge to use well.
>>543279070That much is obvious, the issue is all buildings outside of walking range are effectively minimum priority. So if your pop suddenly drops by a few hundred like anon's extinction event, basic services are the first to go offline.
py with biters, yes or no? I'm having a real hard time of it
>>543281912If the town runs out of workers to staff all its needed services and utilities, then it is doomed regardless.At least with public transit you can prioritize these over less important jobs like construction or for profit industries.
>>543283409I tried it, without biter expansion. Still a terrible idea, military tech is delayed so much you'll be getting big biters by the time you can manufacture yellow ammo, so clearing nests is a pain.Also supposedly there's issues later on with the UPS cost of biters moving around, as well as pollution spread. And there's no way to beat py without a megabase.
>>543283409>guys should I completely disregard the initial message by the devs who have been updating this 1k+ hours mod for the last decade and play with biters onDon't be stupid.Try not to, at least.
Sure hope I needed a lot of gene tubes and didn't make 10 moss machines for no reason
Move over Disco Labs, peak modding has arrived.
>>543283409absolutely notno biters, no pollution
>>543285969I'll still be calling bulk grabbies stack grabbies for the rest of my life.
>>543284138It is a bit misleading, to be fair. The mod changes military, starts you off with 400 yellow bullets, changes the recipe, changes other ammo recipes, etc. Which implies it was meant to be played with combat. The message sounds like it's just trying to dissuade scrubs who barely handle the vanilla combat.
>>543285505you mean moss gene samples? you definitely want a steady supply for a few reasons but you don't need them in all that much bulk
>>543285969I wonder why no one has made a mod that renames yellow science into piss bottles yet.
playing factorio (base, dont have space age) and idk what the fuck is going on with my power, got three boilers with ten steam engines each, should be producing 27mw but its making 5.4mw insteadeverythings on the same power grid so theres no consumption issues
>>543286952I don't remember. How many engines can a single boiler supply in base Factorio?
>>543286952not enough steamcheck boiler production vs engine consumption, should be 1:2 ratio unless a mod changes it
>>543286916brb renaming yellow science to jarate science
>>543287297Make purple science Purple Drank while you're at it
I probably should have been scaling up the fire department as the city got bigger
>>54328667610 moss generators, 1 assembler and 1 glassworks making dishes can supply .1 gene tube/sec at lowest tech that I'm at but I have not read what I need them for
>>543287283>>543287256wiki said the ratio was 1:200:400, so i figured that meant i could run 10+ steam engines off one boileradded three more boilers and piped the steam together and its working now, thanks for the help, i feel dumb now though lol
>>543287297what are you gonna name the space science?
>>543289359Space cum
>>543289359Cum
>>543289315>wiki said the ratio was 1:200:400Yes, that's 1 pump:200 boilers:400 steam engines, which means it is 1:2
>vulcanus uses 2 GWerally wish there was a bigger turbine because this is painful to place
>>543290270There is, it's called quality
This could be a silly question but what's the optimum way of setting up faogae planters? This is currently the most satisfying method I can think of but it's also space intensive. (not that that's a huge issue)
>>543289315>wiki said the ratio was 1:200:400The wiki says the ratio is 1 offshore pump to 200 boilers to 400 steam engines.That means the boiler to steam engine ratio is 1:2
>>543290362are you seriously telling me quality turbines use more steamwhat the hellit looks like a legendary steamer gives 2.8 times as much steam per regular turbinedoesn't really seem like it's worth the hassle even if you were to simply reroll turbine after turbine but it's interesting to know at least
>>543289359Mashed potato science
>>543289172right now, making caravans and starting vrauks, plus nexelit productionyou'll need them for cdna soon enough, which is important for a ton of bootstrap recipes and later biotech stuff
>>543290602>another poor fool trying pyblock
I think Satisfactory might be orders of magnitude more popular than Factorio and I'm not sure how to feel about that
>>543291401Posted it again award
>>543291369Honestly I might be the same guy. I stopped playing last time because I burned out but currently I feel good, restarting let me build a better initial setup without worrying about all the random shit littering boxes. That plus a mod that gives me t1 modular, exoskels and some robos has really accelerated the obnoxious issues like how some py buildings take forever to pick back up.
>>543291636at least there's only one
>>543289359" space whale 'science' "
>>543295271We're a dying breed. :(
>>543296576I'll breed you.
>>543291401what the fuck I posted that last thread, why did you post it again with the same filename
>>543296647Better know what you're threatening, anon.
>>543296781A paid shill?You would be surprised of how often people actually give the penny to the paid shills...
>>543296942I meant it
I think Factorio might be orders of magnitude more popular than Satisfactory and I'm not surprised in the slightest
>>543291401the only thing that satisfactory has orders of magnitude more than factorio is the amount of wasted potential
I've been seeing a lot of faggotry in here recently
>>543298348That one about having a wife and mistress so you can go to the gay bar and suck some cock made me chuckle. Good joke.
Anyone else feel like some of the scores in the factorio ost feels like a lullaby? Shit makes me very drowsy.
>>543298206Why are you bizarro posting on the autistic thread? They won't get the joke.
>>543299974The joke is mockery, what's not to get
Is our SeX Serb ded? Where is everyone? :(Doing space logistics myself is depressing
Where the hell is the next COI blogpost. I want to know if they're still wasting time on roads or adding some of the requested features. God I hope they figure out how to add bridges and tunnels. I'm so sick of digging out an entire mountain to run one (1) train line through it.
>>543301142i'll be on tomorrow
>hop out of chaingunner car real quick>it's still moving>manage to die by running myself over
It's always sad when you deplete the starter resource patches. They were there when you crashed here, something for you to cling to as you scrambled to survive, through them you were able to lay the foundations of your mighty factory, and every machine you build has a little tiny speck of them somewhere, as the plate that formed the assembler that built the reactor that powers the rest.And now they're gone.
Why am I enjoying py is it maso to?
>>543318732Thrill of discovery. Always something new. You're not at the exhausting stage yet
>>543318732factorio is all about having bitesized, easy to achieve checkmarks you can mark on your todolistpy just has a really long listyou just love the constant satisfaction of "accomplishing" something in your life devoid of any real accomplishment
>>543319597rude as hell to call me out like this
>>543319597accomplishments are still accomplishments even if they are on a computer
What am I supposed to be using as burnable fuel early? Just got to vrauks, my gasoline dies to quartz very quickly, I ran out of shale oil because my starter stone patch died, I'm using all my coal gas
>>543325565Wait I have lots of syngas and it's more efficient to convert the coal gas to it I guess that's it
Man. Factorio really gives you all the tools. I'm setting up a proper train system for the first time and I needed iron up by my uranium for the mining so I put down an iron dropoff train stop. But you only need a little iron for the acid so I was wondering how I could limit the trains wasting too much time. 'It would be nice if I could just turn off the stop when I have enough iron here'. And it turns out you can of course. Because you can do anything. Most any other game this would be an issue you'd have to go around instead.
>>543326526Uhh I always just use a fluid wagon
>>543326635I need oil at this location for turrets anyway. So it's either two fluid trains or one fluid and one iron.
>>543325935These glass shits are fuel hungry my syngas ratio isn't enough I'm going to have to build a pump and flushing system so I can feed it between different types of fuel based on how much I have fuck
>>543325565acetylene is a very good option early onyou'll want it for lead mining anyway
we've discovered an interesting cliff formation on Vulcanus
>>543331636is this supposed to be a hammer or something?
>>543332045yes I think so - could be indicative of intelligent alien life
Are uranium spawns usually this terrible?
Finally have vrauks at least the first few
>>543331636Truly an incredibly erect discovery.
>>543333015One of those deposits will probably be enough for the whole game.
>>543331636mine also points to the left
