Is there more campaign after the radar scanning part? It closed out after that for me but I've downloaded the alpha.

Elfface posted:There is, that's just where the demo ends. You can jump in to Chapter 2, which picks up where the demo chapter left off, so no need to re-do things either. but I didnt download the demo  , I'm a Transport Belt Repair Man and clicked the download 0.9.8 alpha zip. Weird. How large is your alpha folder?Edit: I'm dumb, there's a new hope chapter.

i just clicked new game, set it to rail world, pasted that string in and hit generate and got the goon island, so it should work fine... edit: i'm getting weird hitching in the game, like the fps stays solid at 60 but every minute or so i get a little bit of choppiness. i have auto save pushed out to like 10 mins as well.

i automated green science! ive never gottent his far playing before lol. it broke my brain a bit figuring it out im dumb and thought the factory things couldnt do larger than 2 item recipes so i was confused as hell until i realized i could just pick whatever in the list for them to make

electric furnaces! oh they need steel. oh steel is 5 iron plates per, i guess my 5 furnaces and 3 miners making plates isnt gonna keep up now. i like how i feel less tied to ratios in factorio over just making sure im outputting as much as i can. satisfactory im like OK this put out 30/ min so i need 2 of these, etc/ factorio i feel like, oh. im not keeping up with demand, ill just drop another 5 miners. queeb fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Jan 7, 2021 |

K8.0 posted:I was watching a new player stream last night, trying to just give tips on UI functionality and the like, but they were playing with 3 people and only had 6 total iron miners. They kept almost, but not quite, realizing that they needed to put down a ton more miners. yeah im realizing how fastim going to have to scaleup. also i feel like a genius, setting up a steel foundry, wondering how the gently caress im going to snake coal all the way over, since i though steel furnaces were electric but they arent. then i realized you could filter splitters. so now im just filtering my excess coal off my iron makers over to the steel ones.

 started running into space issues so now i restarted with a better plan in mind. way more room for iron and stuff, and more lanes to split off of when i can poo poo out enough material to fill them. 1 didnt seem to be working.

ConfusedUs posted:Not sure if you're aware, but this style of base design is called a "main bus" and is super popular and really powerful! The hardest part is figuring out what to put on the bus and what to make locally in each mini-factory that is fed from the bus. I realized how much stuff needed basically all those things, i was making green chips like every freggin building area so i figured id toss those out. are gears worth mass producing?

SkyeAuroline posted:Same deal as before- if it works it's good. What's your plan to expand it if you need it, or are you just planning on replacing your infrastructure entirely once you've bootstrapped up? i can continue to the right with assemblers, i can probably squeeze like 8 green science assemblers off those belts and inserters.. i think.

lol man. every time i think oh yeah, i have a lot of production now, its like yeah nah. I love it. Heres where im at now:  going to get steel going. im assuming im going to want to belt steel? seems like an upgrade to iron for most stuff

Man, I started watching Katherine sky's recent series and Holy. I'm way under building. She's got like 48 furnaces up and running like an hour in.

Jesus its 48 furnaces to fill a yellow belt? So going up to Reds and blue you need like multiple that amount? Lmao the scale of this game is great.

i feel like im cheating, i grabbed the nanobots: early bots mod. but man, my mind is being blown coming from satisfactory where im connecting everything by hand. just copy pasting parts of my base is insane. im assuming this is what construction bots do later on, but not expendable? queeb fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Jan 10, 2021 |

i havent played passed like just after early train science before and havent played in foever but captain of industry makes me want to play a full on much better factory game so im goin in blind passed that stage, prepare for pics of my poo poo rear end factory and me asking for help. edit: unmodded too, i want those steam achievements, i have none currently.

 heres progress so far. automated belts and inserters. i feel like my mining setup is hosed up because as soon as i mine on the other side of the belt its all gonna be mixed up, ill have to like, separate the coal and ore onto separate belts and then rejoin them or something.

K8.0 posted:There are a couple ways to do that much more elegantly, but you're making really rapid progress and you should be happy with yourself. i played a bit awhile ago but i was legit just copying from a katherinofsky video and learning nothing up to green science, so I get things like the main bus and stuff but figuring this poo poo out solo hurts my brain but also feels dope when it works, lol i'll look up the better ways after i launch a rocket in the 80 hours this is gonna take me.

 day 1 end progress. i got some stone going, probably to make walls i guess? do i need a lot of stone later? my little mall in the middle left there is coming along, just automated fast inserters which are dope. i currently have 4 assemblers making gears which makes me think i should belt it, at least in my mall but i dunno.
