drunkill posted:I picked this up the other day and what little I have played has been a blast. Although I dont know how to finish the first train mission. I have produced all the required items but I can't hold them all at once. The objective says in broken english that you can use your car inventory but that's not working for me. Drop as much as you can in your cars trunk, keep the rest in your inventory, and then get in the car. *edit: Then have a loving great time with the next mission.

Filthy Monkey posted:It is weird that after playing this for a few days, this is now the game I am most excited about seeing updates for. The game just scratches some sort of itch for order that I have. Based on the road map you might want to set the game down for a bit then. Then next 2 updates look to be feature light and focused on getting MP working.

The train mission is one of the best they have so far. It should be approached as follows. Restore the ore line, train drop off point, and steam power. Setup up a basic red/green line. Beef up main base defenses. Research high tension wires then go for the train techs. While researching train tech run power, guns, walls out to the iron base. Rebuilt it into a fortress. When train tech is finished rebuild the track line and make a train that is <engine][cargo][cargo][engine> automating it should be simple if you fully repaired the existing track. Repeat for cooper base (much harder use iron base as template). Expand main base to make mission requirements while juggling keeping the defenses solid at all 3 bases. If it is taking to long build more processors. The trains can move about 1800 units of ore every 2-3 minuets so you should not be capped on input.

Breetai posted:Oooh! Are the Laser Turrets significantly better at killing heavily-armoured enemies than armour-piercing rounds then? I can develop a perimeter, but I suppose after a while the power you need to fuel them will start attracting more biters through pollution. 3 deep walls and clustering your guns(at least 5) at the point in the wall the wave hits at are the important parts, I did it with just AP rounds, which I think have the same base damage as lasers. *edit: apparently I should refresh threads. Who knew this game had damage types. Hagop fucked around with this message at 14:51 on May 14, 2014 |

The train mission has a fairly cool pre-electric ore smelt setup, but that is all I can think of.

drunkill posted:I'd just get rid of the loops and make double ended trains vOv far more compact. Single heads also travel faster kinda I think. Train acceleration seems to have to do with the number of cars its towing so if you have a short route or one with lots of turns adding the second engine slows down round trip time with out increasing capacity. Filthy Monkey posted:
I have had a lot of fun and challenged using a max richness, max size, min frequency, one biome, and "only in start zone" water map setup. It makes it so unless you get lucky your going to have at least 4 highly spread out bases to defend. Roll a desert map and your going to have one hell of a fight for the whole game. Unless you chicken out and go hard green.

EvilMike posted:Is there any reason to actually do this? With crude no. Get one of the mods that lets you barrel finished products and then you can add the barrels to your main bust and just uncan what you need right by where you need it. Though even is only really useful for sulfuric acid. Which I think is the only liquid reagent used in more than one non-liquid recipe.

EvilMike posted:Yeah, but the alternative would be a lot of barrels, assemblers, inserters, chests, railways, more assemblers, etc to your oil field. I don't know how it compares in terms of numbers, but it feels like a long pipeline would be more efficient and easier to set up. I guess trains are more fun though. Trains are really the best, or would be if only they could pull gun cars along with them.

Rapner posted:Are there any good guides to how to set up the big gorgeous bus driven factories that I see posted here? Do my zoomed in screen shots from http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3629545&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=11#post429838812 help? The basic principle is mats move left to right in a tight main buss of belts. When you want to make something new you spit the mats belts you need for it and have the new branches move perpendicular to the main bus until you get above or below the main bus. The belts your branch cross get sent underground. Then you pull mats off this branch below or above the main bus and process them and add the result to the main bus in a new belt. *edit: if you use the one belt per mat and one lain left empty for merging like I do. It helps if you make sure that the lain that has the mat is always the same one, and that it is the side that your processing will happen on. So all my main bus travels left to right and has the mats on the bottom of each belt. So all my processing is done below the main bus. Hagop fucked around with this message at 15:13 on May 21, 2014 |

Retro42 posted:Petroleum gas is the biggest limiting factor in some setups. Sulfur/sulfuric acid/batteries/plastic ALL need a steady supply of petroleum gas. Yeah, you can turn a surplus into solid fuel if you want too, but it's better used elsewhere. Once you get adv processing you should be swimming in petrol in just whats coming out of the refinery.

With all those AdvCircuits I make (again) Blue science, processors, and modules out the rear end. You should see my Wire bill, it can spike up to 6000/minute. (Hit P) HA, I was handling 5 LB back before I switched to lasers.

So what is the trick to sprint killing nests? I currently go faster than every thing and I can take a LW shot or two. So I can run in do donuts throw a bunch of poison caps and kill the worms no problem. However that doesn't seem to do jack against the nests them self's.

Evilreaver posted:Early game, get 200+ clips of AP rounds and an SMG and go nuts on as many spawners as you can before Large bugs come out since they laugh at SMGs (ditto Medium/Big Worms). This gives you enough artifacts to get power armor and such and such late game. No I am late game black as hell, got power armor mkI a F gen and a bunch of exos. I can run around with in gun range of the spawners all day, but if I stop to shoot I get chomped, I was hoping their was some combination of throw-ables that kills spawners quickly.

Deadmeat5150 posted:There has got to be a better way than this prior to have Power Armor mk2 Pre-fusion pre-power armor their is no good way to kill evolved nests out side of tower rush. If your just trying to farm up artifacts you can car rush a 3 spawner basic nest, if it has no worms. You should be able to find a bunch of these a chunk or two passed the edge of your pollution cloud. Basically you drive your car into one spawner which will kill it and you car, and shoot the other two with a max blue upgraded sub-machine gun. Once you get good at it you should managed to kill all three before the first advanced spawn happens. You can get the 100 or so artifacts you need for power armor and a fusion gen this way fairly quickly if you bring some fish. However I not sure its any faster than tower rushing or just shotgunning or flamering down nest early in the game.

I don't got bandwidth for re-hosting stuff but here are the best mods in an adds to your factory making options sense. Liquid Station: Adds an entity liquid station to fill/empty all kind of vanilla fluids into/from barrels. It is the same as assembly machine only for filling and empty barrels. But 1x1 size, consumes less energy(50kW) and produces less pollution. Thread Download Warning does not have a migration script last I checked. You will need to enable manually if you have already research the first refinery tech in your game. Side Inserters: Left and right-handed versions of each type of inserter in the base game. Thread Download No idea how it handles old worlds. Belt Lane Splitters: Belt dividers - allows the two outermost lanes of the two inputs to pass. Belt separators - sends the left lane of both input belts to the left outside output, and the right lanes to the right. Thread Download Works fine with old worlds. Robocharge: A tower that connects to the robot network and which allows the robots to recharge at it. Thread Download No idea how it handles old worlds. UpGrade: Longer underground belts Thread Download No idea how it handles old worlds. More Inserters: Half inserters and other crap. Thread Download Works fine with old worlds. As a note I do not know if this is the best half inserter mod around. Its just the one that I use. Let me know if you know of a less crap one. Scrap Mod: Recycling machine. Thread Download No idea how it handles old worlds. It is goon made by Shintaro. Pipe Dream: More types of pipes. Thread Download No idea how it handles old worlds This mod is janky as hell, most of it doesn't work for me, but it is still worth it for the extra long under ground pipes and 4 way underground pipe heads. *fake edit Let me know if you made any of these and i'll add your credits. Also let me know if you know how some of these mods handle old worlds and I will up date those. Hagop fucked around with this message at 14:52 on May 29, 2014 |

Bhodi posted:I dunno, big biters are just so strong my power armor setup (7 lasers, 2 fusion, 2 exo, 2 batteries) can't really take them out even with the piercing shells in the combat shotgun. I end up having to bum rush no more than 3 biter nests at a time and murder them down before the big biters spawn to eat me. I end up having to avoid any more than 3 nest clutches. Its a much better idea to go full tank with just as much speed as you need to out run a biter. Use poison caps to kill worms and just run around in circles taking snap shots at the spawners. Once the nets are dead just run the biter conga line you built up into your base defenses.

Renaissance Robot posted:Having your base totally walled in is a bad idea anyway, because it makes biter attacks less predictable. If you have a few "gates" (read: big holes) in your walls, they'll always go for those if they can, which makes fortification a lot cheaper. I have not noticed much difference in attack patters in walled city verses pill boxes. It seems once a nest is aggro on you they always to head to the same area along the same path. The only thing that seems to change this is radical changes in your pollution map, the presents of new distractions along the attack path, or the death of the nest.
