Thus game is a lot funner with people because dumb poo poo is funny in groups but infuriating when solo

I cracked top 10 for the first time solo yesterday. Killed a guy with the double barrel shotgun, took his AKM, used that to kill another dude and get his AWM, then sniped another guy. Died in the closing seconds of the match after almost getting my 4th kill.

It's been a blast playing this with HCT, Godholio, Pesticide and Reverend Maynard. Feel like I've gotten my $30 worth of entertainment already.

No question. This game is exactly what I wanted from things like DayZ.

Also for anyone on the fence about this game, the actual shooting portion of the game is pretty good. It's far, far more polished than h1z1 or dayz were. If someone is running parallel to you its actually possible to kill them.

In a lot of ways it feels like dayz except not poo poo. Compared to arma its a bit more arcadey but that simply rounds on the inherent problems with a game being too realistic, such as the lack of situational awareness due to viewing the world through a screen is minimized by a small minimap and icons that indicate where your friends are.

sometimes the shooting feels real bad though. last night i was in the circle hiding behind a tree and there were only 4 other dudes left. i see one of em running out of the death field toward me. once he was about 30 meters away, i peek out and put 5 rounds center mass with an ak. he returns fire and instantly headshots me. that kind of poo poo really pisses me off and happens a bit too much

Yeah balancing changes have made steel needs go way up in .15. My in-line design of ore delivery->smelters->bus no longer works even with express belting. I'm going to move green circuit production to its own new factory and restart smelting a chunk off to the side. Raw materials aren't my problem so much as getting them where they need to go fast enough- late game really has me thinking about optimization.

Giving this a shot later:

Factorio is just relaxing. Turn on some music, approach a problem or two in my factory, and just chill. It's the same zen I get from programming at work but I get visual feedback.

I am going to star producing modules soon, but for now I think I will change my steel production outpost to this:


Then after I make a couple more steam generating outposts and start nuclear power I will module the poo poo out of everything. I will only use solar power once I "Win" the game and get the chevos for only using steam engines and not using lasers.

infinite recursive loop of building stuff because you need to build stuff because you need to build more stuff. plus what EBB said.

I've been churning out solar panels and accumulators since they were unlocked. Any time I'm short on power I just drop a few blueprints and the problem goes away.



The factorio thread points out that this design is outdated in .15 since substations have a larger effective footprint, but I think the ratio is still the same.

Accumulators, dude. Put some into a solar panel / substation blueprint and never worry about power again. I usually throw down a huge blob of accumulators on their own just to act as an extra buffer for the occasional extra-heavy laser usage.
