I'm addicted. The game absolutely blows up in complexity REALLY fast, though.

The central belt method sure does look pretty, but some of the routing I had to do to get everything to fit was  inducing.

Evilreaver posted:Keep in mind, robots have a miserable throughput compared to belts. Your math on trains is wrong. A full train of 960 items on a 30 second loop is 32 tp, to use your definition. The further a station is, the lower the tp of each train on the loop (but the more trains you can fit in the loop). And can we just call tp IPS (Items Per Second)?

FISHMANPET posted:Are there any good Factorio videos on YouTube? I was reading through the Factorio blog and they mentioned some "direwolf20" videos and I'm watching them and they're awful because he's insufferable and also really bad at this game (He's been playing for 2-3 hours and he's not even automating the production of basic circuits). I really want to like Gepwin's "Conquer the World" series, but he's just so fatiguing to listen to.

Their complaint is at getting frustrated that they get stuck because they didn't anticipate something and have to rebuild a big chunk or restart or whatever. Everyone that plays this game does that - I've restarted 20+ times, and I still don't feel like I have a good way of building a base that won't require massive rework later. Some people really enjoy that and some get frustrated at it. It's honestly why I've gotten burned out on the game - I get the urge to start over again around the time I get to trains, so I never get to the endgame stuff.

kaxman posted:The biters are basically chumps in this game. You can go clearing nests with a handful of turrets and the first shotgun. Probably even earlier if you want. I've had some fun playing around with the harcorio mod but the guy that makes it seems to be kind of an idiot and I don't really agree with his philosophy of "make everything cost nine billion resources," but having more varied enemy types that can actually mess you up is quite fun. I dont' know why, but I hate the idea of roboports. They feel like cheating. Then again, I've never gotten that far, so they could be a lot more balanced than I'm imagining.

I'm still hoping they implement the weapon tech tree from WZ2100. It would fit the game perfectly. I wanna surround my base with Howitzers, damnit!

I did make one change to Bob's Mods to fix something that drove me completely loving insane. I got rid of "synthetic wood" since it breaks your auto crafting for any recipe with normal wood in it. Instead, chemical plants can produce wood boards directly, which I renamed "particle board" for flavor reasons. Overall, I really don't like Bob's Mods. Having a billion ores and chemicals and production taking multiple steps with no additional inputs through several different types of factory just doesn't feel like good gameplay to me. I think the original game needs more levels of technology, but this isn't the way to do it. Edit: There's already a Bob's Mods multiplayer Let's Play on Youtube. It's pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnMeIdBGqxY

Kenlon posted:If you're not going to go Full Isengard and build an enormous smoke belching death fortress, what's the point? I'm actually in the preparation stages of a modded Factorio Let's Play, featuring Bob's Mods. I'm 18 hours in and using RSO with default settings (extra biters, though). There aren't any resources to do that poo poo. I'm actually kind of sick of Factorio again. That's a problem I have with this game - I can't spend more than ~20 hours before I get bored of it, which isn't nearly enough to get to anything cool (I always quit around the time I get to robots).

Tenebrais posted:That's what I mean about endgame - once you've tapped out your research your factory consumption plummets. I'm totally happy building an ever-extending factory to meet an ever-growing demand but it needs to actually do that. There are mods that add endless upgrades such as weapon damage with ever-increasing research costs. At some point, I'd like to see a really deep military tech tree with the ability to do PvP. I always thought something like the WZ2100 tech tree would be suitably deep.

Apocadall posted:WZ2100 was great, I should play it again sometime. Yes though there needs to be a better military system such as some way of commanding military drones without you being there. Or being able to launch satellites and nukes. I mean yeah we have these large factories and automated production systems with some drone uses but a lot of the military side of things isn't even close to what we do know from a commanders point of view. Absolutely agree. And the enemy needs to be much more powerful to compensate.

Probably with a distance limitation like logistics networks to avoid being over powered. It would also be cool if your player had to be within range to get things like radar info and logistics counts.

Cooling towers should remove hot water from the pipe similar to the incinerator mod you have. I'm using a slightly modified version of that (that lets me use water with the venting tower) to control some hot water capacitors currently.
