Funny how this thread's died in the rear end since Shenzhen I/O was released. Reactors updated to 1.4.1 - wire connections are now preserved in reactor blueprints. This took far more effort than it should have, and involves some comical hacks (see below), but it works. Reactor and circuit connector hitboxes can't overlap, if they do then the circuit connector won't be saved in blueprints. This means I can't allow the reactor to be rotated (as it's not square), but there's no built-in way to force this. So every time a bot/player builds a reactor, it is immediately silently killed and a new one put in its place with default orientation, copying the recipe settings so it's seamless to the player. The script then checks for a ghosted interface where the reactor would normally spawn one, and if it exists it is revived (which preserves wire connections), otherwise a new one is created.

I've had this game for two and a half years and Steam says I have around 170 hours in it. I launched my first rocket today  It was really fast to assemble once I set the silo up though (speed 3 beacons and productivity 3 in the silo), because my factory is pretty overdimensioned. I should just launch more rockets. Also, Factorissimo is hilarious. It really brings out my worst side, and while trying to automate a bit of everything I ended up with this bit of offensively stupid belt spaghetti:  e: went back and checked my first post in this thread and found this screenshot:  neither me nor the game have changed much since 2014 TheFluff fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Oct 14, 2016 |

I always wonder what people are making with all their stuff in 40 hour no rocket yet but no research mod games. Is it just non stop equipment plopping? I can barely keep the pace of my plopping on track with the pace of research.

50 hours in, rocket's at 20% ! Half of it was learning how to play the game again. The other half is fixing problems like coal shortage leading to a complete factory shutdown, so more learning I guess  And, of course, a never-ending quest for oil:  Eight oil deposits with a ninth in progress for a very modest factory. Crude tanks are constantly at 0.

FFF for today is out: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-160 Worth a read for sure, Kovarex played through 0.15 to test the new science tweaks - it took him 46 hours without rushing. One important part is this quote:The overall feeling was, that we shouldn't add much to the game content anymore or it will become too complex and big for the newcomers. This means, that when we add nuclear power, dirty mining, and a few little things, that will be it for the vanilla part of the game. We can still do the expansion pack with additional stages of the game and space exploration later, but that is a different story. And this part made me so happy quote:Finding 3 - the most needed changes Dev plays game and finds a load of things to make it better. I hope they add DLC soon, they deserve more of my money.

I agree with every item in that list of improvements, especially changing the crafting time for engines and all the robot and roboport improvements. I feel like I'm back in 0.12: I want to play the game again but I'd rather wait until the next big version is released because it's going to be so much better.

After nearly 9 (in game) days of play in my current map, it runs at about 20 UPS on my machine. So when it got as high as 35, I knew something was wrong. Turns out my entire rail system had gridlocked so nothing was happening anymore.

super fart shooter posted:Steampunk Construction robot Honestly, not a bad idea, but maybe a boiler instead of the one iron plate. Perhaps made in a water-fed assembler, to introduce the idea of using liquids in assemblers a bit earlier? It threw me off a lot when I first saw the need for lubricant and sulfuric acid in assembler recipes.

An assembler-sized megabot that you load with materials and fuel and it chugs along back and forth constructing a blueprint would be pretty rad. I wouldn't even care if it was less efficient than a swarm of regular construction bots, just seeing it mowing down a forest while it leaves a trail of concrete and conveyor belts would be great.

It'd be neat if there was something like a mechanized backpack you can research at the red and green level that increases your interaction distance and can build blueprint ghosts in that range every so many seconds.

I'm approximately midway through my first game and I've hit a bit of a wall with regards to power production. The returns from solar power aren't impressing me, and steam engines aren't really cutting it anymore either. Things reached an ugly head when I added a factorissimo building, which had a cascade effect that I didn't notice until it was too late to prevent my entire factory from coming to a dead stop. Thanks to my tendencies to stockpile stuff, I had enough solid fuel to power one set of boilers long enough for the power grid to bootstrap itself back into working order. But this has left me looking for alternatives to what the vanilla game has to offer. So I'm looking for a mod that adds some better power options that aren't "mine even more coal and feed it into increasingly large clusters of boilers" or endless fields of solar panels. I'm going to add the reactors mod and give that a look, but are there any others that you all can recommend as well? All the stuff I've seen on the mods website seem to be either endgame fusion power plants or wind turbines that provide half of what a solar panel does, with nothing really in-between.

Factorissimo blocks full of power generally works for me but I can see where you're coming from. Solar needs vast fields with batteries to cover you but once you get it there you can just forget everything else. You could look at KS_power - the oil burner gives an alternative to solid fuels or the diesel generator which I like. You've picked up on the other alternatives.

Efficient runs get me rock hard which is why I don't understand what people are doing with resources for 40 hours if not launching rockets if they didn't download one of those research requirement multiplier mods.

I've got 120hrs on steam, and probably another 150hrs before it came out on steam, and I've never even built the rocket... base... thing. Let alone actually launch a rocket.

I'll probably launch a rocket eventually, but I'm in no rush. Right now I'm producing resources so I can more efficiently produce resources. It's more exciting to dump resources into building higher level speed modules faster. Because that will allow you to produce more faster, which will allow you to ...

Finally finished my "getting reacquainted" game, I'm ready to mod now. The OP didn't help, though. I'm thinking mostly quality of life stuff like FARL, RSO, tanker wagons, long reach (maybe?), the goon-made nuclear reactor. Coincidentally, those are pretty much all the mods I'm aware of (besides factorissimo, bob's and angel ores but I'm not interested in those for now), so anything else? How does RSO deal with oil?
