JUST

I wish Minecraft had at least the depth of this game.
>>344074267
game name?
>>344074609
factorio
>>344074267
Jesus, that sphaggeti
>>344074432
Factorio actually started out as a Minecraft mod
The dev then realised Minecraft was awful for what he was trying to do and set out to make it from scratch

I've been wondering it for the past 20 minutes without touching anything and to be honest there's some brilliance in the madness. It runs, it creates 2 different science packs from raw material without any interference or manual regulation, it doesn't get clogged up and the only real downside is it wastes tons of resources which it throws into overflow chests to "deal with later". But they don't slow down the operation.

>jerry-rigged
Just fuck my language up, senpai.

here's how the whole thing looked at the time of loading the save except for those rightmost turrets I just had to replace because aliens wiped them out while I was busy trying to understand my past self
>>344076681
it's only idle once you've >won the game :^)
>>344077096
alright anon, now do purple science
>>344077280
yeah I think I'll just leave this whole part be and start an entirely new operation elsewhere for the next science thing
this is only a 6 or 7 hour save so far
>>344077096
I'm saying it's exactly like this http://www.kongregate.com/games/baldurans/factory-idle
Not sure why you would pay money for that
>>344077583
yeah and doom is exactly the same as this game http://www.kongregate.com/games/Ninjakiwi/sas-zombie-assault-4
>>344077931
You paid 20 bucks for doom? You got ripped off m8
>>344077096
press alt to see assembler jobs you idiot
>>344078104
nah I'm not in a hurry to play it
>>344078278

Judge my code method.
>>344078695
pretty redundant tbqh
>>344078695
typical python programmer, let's be honest
if you dont program in a real language, you need reminders on how to do anything since you don't actually know how to program.
>>344078454
you should always have alt mode on.
also, look up factorio main bus
>>344079141
I do use it but don't like to leave it on because it looks ugly tbqh
>also, look up
finding out the solutions yourself is what makes games like this fun, not copying the optimal solution from reddit
>>344078695
>1 = True
Enlightening
>>344078695
horrible. overly commented. shit concepts (ex while loop with a safeguard is a for loop). the kind of garbage I'd expect a retarded engineer to write
I wish there was a way to automatically destroy items. Like a furnace or something you could just dump shit into. Chests fill over time.
Rate muh factory, /v/.
>>344081465
Alright, for real this time, rate muh factory.
>>344081581
pretty neat how many hours have you put into this save?
>>344082041
About 18 roughly, it isn't fully autonomous yet (or at least as close to autonomous as you can make it), but it's rapidly approaching that point. As it is, there's only a few things, such as supplying the purple science packs, that I still do by hand.
Does this have a demo? I wanna see if it gets boring after 10 minutes and 20€ for an EA game is too much
>>344083072
yes it has a demo that's basically a 60 minute tutorial
>>344079084
>>344079141
>>344079440
>>344080191
Funny how no one even wondered what I as even doing. Oh well, let it be a mystery.
>>344084874
You won't make us care, anon. Keep writing while loops with "fail safes"
