They need to add Factorio's "place power poles automatically behind you as you drive your car around" feature; just nobody mention Factorio when suggesting it

Okay where do I get the patch notes I hate it when games hide them on their website somewhere. VVV that's even worse than hiding them on their website somewhere

Somehow I'm just as annoyed now that the power poles all have the same height, as I was when I first saw Mk2 power poles were (originally) taller than the Mk1 ones.

It does make sense from the standpoint of directly upgrading between them, though. I never did test what happens if you try replacing a Mk1 with a Mk2/3 when there isn't enough clearance above for the higher tiers, but it probably isn't great gameplay any way you slice it.

I'm not sure if I like the new power poles. They're a good model, but the old ones felt more like a machine. Like a could lump a bunch together and make a little substation with them.

I still can't make a power grid that's not hideous spaghetti, no matter how organized the rest of my factory is. That's the magic of barely planning anything in advance.

The trick is wall mounted power poles, I've found. They're essentially two poles in one, with arguably less of a footprint, what's not to love? Have the back half connect the poles to each other and the front half the the multitude machines and it's all so tidy

Latest update seems borked. I'll spawn in around 50 FPS, but eventually my frames drop down to around 15 and just stay there. Seems to happen a lot when viewing things containing liquids (refinery, pipes, storage tanks). my mega factory

Actually the devs are the bitter ones, if you suggest something like "why not do __________ like this, factorio did it and it works great" they get all salty and say "no!! This isn't factorio it is its own game!!" Very similar to Anthem vs Destiny

I can understand the need to stand out a bit. I'd still describe it to someone who might be interested as "first-person Factorio", and while a lot of the details diverge, it's still got a clear lineage. The new patch added stackable hypertube supports! Now I can layer them with big pipelines much more neatly.

Assuming you can still turn them 90 degrees after you place them, this sounds like the easiest way to make a hypertube go straight up. Soon the easiest way to climb a cliff while exploring will be to carry supplies for a length of hypertube and a biofuel generator.

Hmm, admittedly my info/attitude is from when it first came out way back in the day so I could be mistaken or completely misinformed. I recall at least two instances of this (one was 'make power poles area-effect') but I'll retract the sentiment since I've been out of the game until just like two weeks ago.

The easiest way to climb a cliff is either a hypertube railgun (as per posted a couple pages ago, that's the 'cannon' way to get to my nuke plant now) or the 8x4 double ramps if there's not a power hookup nearby.

I'll get a whole tour thing done once I'm at least mostly done with it.Current goal, 6 Supercomputer Mfgs, 4 Turbomotor Mfgs, 2x each space elevator part, all being fed to the ticket booth Current state, just need the turbomotors, and I think I have all the raws ready to be put into machines. My refinery complex is more than 100 refineries, most of them overclocked. Edit: I really should have done the turbomotors first since I've had to make the miners all by hand so far like a blongus

Did they nerf stackable conveyer support spam? You used to (still?) be able to just spam them as you climbed up the ones below literally building a ladder as you go. Once you were done with whatever you needed to do you could just select them all for mass deconstruction on your way back down.

Fun fact! Using the hypertube railgun as an opener can speed up regular hypertube usage too! Go exactly where you want at any percentage of c that you want! Send friends into your 100-loop tube at a multiple of c if you want because that's cool too!

HOT TIP! Don't have a long enough runway to make a hypertube railgun? Just bend one of the tubes around and get a U (or Z or M) shape! Just don't make an O or some craaaaaazy physics will happen!

Usually the devs saying this isn’t Factorio is in response to people wanting base defences and enemy attack waves.

Fans posted:Usually the devs saying this isn’t Factorio is in response to people wanting base defences and enemy attack waves. Yeah, and people started wanting this again when experimental had bugs with respawning that caused wildlife to respawn in the middle of working bases. Apparently it's difficult to understand that enemies respawning in the middle of your base is not intended, and that experimental releases are expected to have bugs, and that saves where these bugs have triggered may need manual cleanup even after the bug has been fixed.

I do not want attack waves or wildlife to mess with my base. If anything I wish I could tame the green birds and big tentacle-leg things too. And grow my own berries, nuts, mycelia, etc. Also it took me longer than it should've to figure this out so I'll say it here for other noobs who haven't figured it out: the hostile wildlife's way easier to deal with if you start the battle by hitting them with a truck. Ragdolls em and you can hop out and start smashing while they're still down.

I am a feral technologically-equipped caveman and I will establish my dominance! The big versions tend to give me trouble though

Hopefully also they'll make inhalers buildable in manufacturers too.

Let me tame the birds and then set up transit networks with the birds running and flapping back and forth and they can carry one stack at a time.

I don't care if tame birds do anything, same with the big tentacle-leg guys. Just make em hang around me cuz we're pals. I'll give em beryl nuts every now and then if they want. Maybe build a machine that makes food for em and gives it to em? I like factorio and mindustry just fine and enjoy them for the bit where it's a constant war but I think satisfactory could legit stand to be "industrial stardew" and just generally be pretty chill and have the wildlife be my homies. I'll still bash the others with a truck but even stardew has hostile stuff in the mines.
