do you guys reccomend goon island as a first serious map? I've hosed around but never actually put time into this game, i wanna get a crazy factory going and the goon island looks neat.

Here I was hoping that nuclear power would turn off coal power the way solar does, but it just runs at 50% capacity (while still using 100% of the nuclear fuel) and half my coal plant is still running. Do I need to design some fancy switch to turn the regular boilers on and off or is something broken?

You can also design a pretty low tech switch. Route all your coal steam engines through a power switch. Put an accumulator on the nuclear/factory side. Have the power switch activate if the accumulator is below a threshold (say 50). The coal plant will throttle back quickly when disconnected, and throttle up quickly when connected.

Added a early expandable oil refinery setup to the goon factorio blueprint document, for those who struggle with oil. Again, if someone have input on improvements, please tell me. From the document: Oil refinery that you can expand easily with more of everything. Prepared for advanced oil processing and cracking, just need to change the refineries and pick recipes for the chemical plants. Hook up water to the top row of pipes, top left corner in the blueprint or elsewhere on that pipe. Oil goes into the tanks at the bottom left, marked with Oil. Coal goes into the belt that goes along the top, change it as needed. Add more tanks to the top if anything fills up, or add more cracking. http://imgur.com/BV3ISHo https://pastebin.com/tmmjM7Fk

It's great, I play in zero aliens mode because I don't want to bother with biters in the early to mid game but not having them around in the late game makes it kind of boring. Goon island is ideal because you can decide exactly when you strike out and you have a natural choke to protect the heart of your factory.

The jump from green to blue and blue to purple science was still a little steep so this smooths the curve out somewhat.

I definitely like the idea of those changes, need to see how they'll play out now. I of course now need to restart after spending 3 hours calculating and designing my factory last night

This makes me happy, kinda. My current save is hosed in a perpetual purgatory of me biting off more than I could chew, so it'd take me at least 5 hours to set things up properly before it even starts working. Gonna restart and hopefully pick a better save and not have it be so awful.

I'm gonna need a bigger bus. Digging the underground belt changes. I mean I'm sure it's something I could of got a mod for in the past... just chose not to. Always amuses me that I've come up with some kind of arbitrary internal list of what mods are allowed and which are "cheating".

Of course those tech changes come after I got all the non-space tech research. Although blue tech requiring an electric driller now is actually worse since they take longer to build and require 1 more iron plate than a gray assembler.

RyokoTK posted:gray assembler You know, I hadn't thought about assemblers in color terms, but that raises an interesting question. I wonder if the devs have considered a unified color scheme for different levels of products. Belts go yellow -> red -> blue, assemblers go grey -> blue -> yellow, science packs go red -> green -> blue, etc. On one hand, having a single scale might make it easier to evaluate a factory at a glance. On the other hand, it might make factories look too dull or samey. Unrelated, the underground belt length upgrades sound amazing.

The only mildly consistent things thing I've noticed are the inserters and the belts. yellow = basic, red = faster (sort of, with the long extender), blue = fastest

Provided you have the materials there's not really any reason not to have the fastest and strongest of everything once you're in the late game, but I'm glad my entire factory isn't blue from top to bottom.

To do 1 science a sec, you're only going to 2 assembler2s from 1 assembler1, plus a little more iron. The pumpjack removal is a massive change, though. It (used to) take 5 assemblers for the pumpjack, plus 3 for the pipe to support it, plus steel, plus the circuits. That's all down to one assembler with a iron/gear and circuits.

I can't get the island map string to work, from 0.15.1 to current. It always generates the same terrain on different resource settings but is definitively not island-like. For other people who couldn't get it to work, was it like this? Platform? (MBP w/ Win8.1 in Bootcamp here).
