Does anyone have any recommendations for mods? Just something that adds a little bit more to the tech tree without going absolutely insane?

More Inserters looks very useful without going overboard on new features.
edit: the link in the first post doesn't work, look at the end of the thread for an updated version.

I read on a twitch chat that theres a good tree planting, coke cooking mod about too, sadly i have no idea what its name was. :v:

Also for gently caress sakes factorio, stop being so compelling! I want to sleep. :argh:

So basically make sure you aren't on an island before spending 20 minutes starting up

You have everything you need, turn that island into a fortress that would make any evil genius weep with envy. :colbert:

Talking about roads makes me hope we can one day pour concrete over everything, maybe have some vanity stuff afterwards like neat bushes atop raised slabs.

Just give me a machine that slowly spews out concrete like "The Creep" and pisses of the natives something fierce. :black101: gently caress your planet, you will submit to me.

Rather than adding combat robots, I'd personally rather combat be automated by introducing something like the Big Bertha cannon from Total Annihilation. Effectively unlimited range, ammunition is complicated to manufacture, puts a huge drain on your power grid to fire. Then just add some kind of scavenger bot to go pick up the artifacts.

That'd be neat! Could make it fire by laser marker and its not an exact science in where the shell lands.

We need more Big Bertha cannons in games, i was oddly happy when i discovered it was in Creeper World 3. :unsmith:

I always assumed the drones were a solution to item conveying that might be otherwise impossible, because you built your base funny.

Nrrrrgh. Hello also from the Spaceflight thread. Thanks to this, I lost an entire day and am about to lose most of another. I finished the "campaign" though and was incredibly proud of myself for fully automating red/green science pack production and distribution to 3 science labs, with an overstock depending on the length of research to stock like five more.

I hopped into the Freeplay mode and unlocked all the tech, looked it over, then immediately decided that I am building the most loving huge factory to get all of it the long way.

Please send help.

You sound just fine. :colbert:

The first time you "get" trains, especially with routing and signaling, is so immensely satisfying. My current base has a single depot for coal, iron, copper, oil (using the oil tanker mod), and stone, with a single line in/out and no deadlocks (although the occasional queue happens). Hooking up a new deposit is as simple as plopping a station blueprint, dropping an intersection on my main line, and connecting the two with rails/power. The personal roboport makes this incredibly easy, as well.



What a wonderful post/avatar combination. :allears:

I'm doing this right now (using the mod for no crafting, but also not using any solar power because I find it boring). It's going to be fun when biters start attacking massively due to hilarious amounts of pollution I'll produce.

I wouldn't mind really long day/night cycles as an alternative to that. Would make for some interesting planning needs.
