As I have accidentally discovered, turning trees down to next-to-nothing makes biters way more of a threat, since your pollution just flows freely so you can, and will, be attacked on literally all 4 sides at once, by biter nests many, many screens away. It's grueling.

Sydin posted:Yeah that's the tutorial I was referring to. I'll give it a whirl, thanks. I found a patch of 6M iron ore and have grand designs for it that involves a sea of electric furnaces, and I'm not sure I want to waste the time and resources that would be required to defend the massive plot of land I'd need for the requisite solar farm. The setup on the wiki works great: https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Circuit_network_cookbook#Optimal_usage_of_fuel_for_nuclear_power

LLSix posted:Almost everything in that FFF is amazing but at the end they fell into a classic developer trap - forcing the user to decide instead of just making a decision, any decisions. At least the addition of copy+paste should help nullify this a bit, since now when I make a blueprint I'd almost always want to actually keep it in some way. I can't believe they're adding cut, too. Factorio has ruined all other building games for me because none of them have anywhere near the amount of QoL.

Jabor posted:Circuits are a nice, self-contained optional extra, that you can dip into when you feel like exploring it. No reason it couldn't be post-bot tech. Unless you are worried about the verisimilitude of being unable to design an inserter that only moves half as much without giving it sentience.

After playing with the beacon rework where production buildings can only be affected by one beacon at a time but beacons have a ton of module slots I don't think I can ever go back. It makes the factory progression feel so much smoother than having to start putting identical rows of beacon cages everywhere.

I’d highly recommend industrial revolution 3, it’s what got me playing again and it has a ton of new mechanics and fun stuff, there’s a whole new steam-powered phase at first that demands you run steam pipes everywhere, it’s great

It's funny how this ends up being easier for him than his first rampant playthrough, and not just because he's more experienced.

There's also the question if they're going to make recursive blueprints official. That one mod adds so much megaproject potential that it'd be nice to be official.

I hope we get some IR3-style tree management from that planet, I really enjoyed the unique gameplay layer that added.

Yeah, for IR3 forestry you plop a greenhouse down and it'll generate wood, remove pollution, and grow more trees based on how many trees are in its chunk. So put one in a forest and it gets going right away, but for a desert you need to kickstart it with tree planters, which will gradually turn the chunk into a densely forested spot. It's a great take on farming, and much better than a building that's just "insert seed+water, get wood".

Music! They hired an orchestra this time. They also have tracks for the two unseen planets, leaving it to us to imagine what kind of places the music invokes. https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-406 Pigbuster fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Apr 12, 2024 |

The biggest problem with IR3 is that the expanded early game and pollution control mechanics are nifty, but eventually you have to expand into their nests and uh whoops turns out the nests have been evolving on their own even though you aren't killing anything and now every single nest has behemoths. Had to resort to console commands because screw that

The funny thing about this kind of change is that a lot of Factorio-heads are 100% focused on UPS-optimization and they're complaining how this makes functionally no difference since they're so ultra-lategame brained. For people like me that value aesthetics way more this is great. I wonder what the other mathematically optimal layouts will end up with this, like max output per tile/watt/cost.
