This thread is dedicated to autism factories simulator aka Factorio.
When posting a server please include version number and any mods used.
I didn't know Machine Civilization was on my playlist but I sure am glad it is.

First run with ayys here, are armor piercing rounds worth it or should I suck it up until lasers?
>>135167575
They are better than basic rounds. If you need extra fire power then use them.
I think you also save on iron per dps if you use them but not sure if that's true.
>>135167575
Once you get decent steel production going hell yes, you can put a stack in a turret and it will last forever
>>135165350
>shilling
>for an open source project
that's impossible anon
>>135169001
Nice shill ;_;
But seriously: It's perfectly possible to shill for an Open Source project. Sure people don't have to pay money for it, but there's still prestige to be had when you can say "my software is used by 123456 anons to encode their Factorio videos with."
>>135169284
I doubt the guy cares what it's used for.
Also it's a shame that he's a kebab.
i found iron
on the far right :^)
>>135169284
i guess, people keep using garbage like gyazo/lightshot that advertises itself etc. though, while sharex/puu.sh only spread through word of mouth

So if you accidentally connect crude oil to refined oil pipe system you have to replace every single pipe in the whole system.

REALISM FEATURE
Serb when?
>>135174447
Fun fact.
Oil refineries lose the most money not transporting the oil via pipes, but rather trying to get it out of the pipes
we need some kind of trading in singleplayer, kinda like rimworld has it
>>135169889
How long does it take until the Ayys spread so much? I'm playing vanilla, and I'm currently almost ready to research PowerArmor Mk2, and I just once I saw a single medium sized biter. My four turrents with generic bullets behind a wall never took any damage at all.
Is it supposed to be that way, or am I just lucky?
>>135175987
I have the ayyliens on biggest spread settings, so they have only a few bases but those are massive and grow incredibly fast. It takes quite some time in vanilla until they even become worth looking at. Modded is alot harder
Right now they are still peaceful and never attack, but this will change soon.
i had to build right around their base through the water using the landfill mod. If they ever start attacking me the literally cut my life support, because that Iron deposit is the only one i could find after 2 hours of walking now.
>>135175243
Just light it on fire!
>plastic factory can't use solid fuel instead of coal
>other stuff like furnaces can use solid fuel instead of coal just fine
Why is this a thing?
It's part of the oil production chain, it would make perfect sense to do it
>>135176813
Because in one case you use coal as a chemical component, and in other as a fuel.
Because in one case you burn that stuff, and in the other case you react it with oil in a specific way to produce plastic. Those have nothing to do with each other, might as well suggest that wood should be usable in plastic production.
>>135175932

>>135165257
>Listening to World Order
Ma brotha from anotha motha
So what's the optimal ratio when it comes to refineries? I always find myself starved of petrol, and I always end up with massive amounts of light and heavy oil. Do I just turn it all into solid fuel or should I pump everything into a few dozen storage tanks?
>>135179390

C'mon anon, there is literally no penalty for tearing a building down.

Do any of you draw your designs out before you start?
>>135179593i mean my abomination of factory line.
one of the reasons i bought this was because of that oddly realistic abe's odyssey/command and conquer look.
>>135179514
>I always find myself starved of petrol, and I always end up with massive amounts of light and heavy oil.
A shortage of petgas is easily fixed, provided you have at least one of the other oil fractions.
Research advanced oil processes to unlock cracking, then crack your surplus into petgas.
>ideal ratio
Don't bother trying.
Your consumption will fluctuate, and you must be able to cope with this.
Although enormous storage facilities would work, a circuit-based pump system will allow for automatic cracking.
>>135179390
>>135179805
>Do any of you draw your designs out before you start?
No?
Just tear shit up and place them down again. Nothing in the game is permanent, you're going to move that mine sooner or later in search of new deposits. Redecorate to your hearts desire, at the start you have nothing to worry about because of non-existant pollution.

>>135183061
Also I should probably plan this out a bit better in the next game.
>>135182873
It's just coal
>>135179774
uh are they going to include something like farl in 0.13? not sure if i understand your post correctly
>>135183921
That path was generated through the forest automatically.
>>135183921
They are getting rid of corner rail and adding in a "planner" system where you just click and drag whatever you want your rails to do and it will find the optimal path and pathfind around obstacles.
In that image, the person started at the bottom and then dragged up to the top, the game then pathfound through the forest to the position his cursor is at from where he started.
>>135184257
Is there gonna be something for automated pole and signal laying as well? Would suck if it did just the tracks and nothing else
>>135183521
You don't need to plan things, just think ahead.
It's pretty evident that you just plopped down two refineries next to your first oil wells, thinking it'd be sufficient.
Always assume you'll need room for more.
>>135184458
No, I'm worse than that.
I only put down one refinery.
Then I added a second one diagonally.
Then I move a bit of a stuff and forced in a third.
This pic is from before placing the third one.
>>135184375
>They are getting rid of corner rail
what corner rail?
do you mean the curved rail?
>>135184794
Whatever, yes they are, they are replacing it with a single rail piece, curved rails will cost 4 rail pieces

bobs mod has a gas venting pump that gets rid of gases that you don't want, in case those 4 hydrogen storages in the middle get full.
>>135186179
Is there a CO2 in this mod? I'd love having a dedicated greenhouse emitting facility.
>>135186179
not in that version(about a year old) and at the bottom there's a chemical plant turning it into solid fuel which i occasionally turn on when it's getting full
>tfw no velyks-kun to play with you

Is it shit? this is my third setup because the roboports were asking for more energy than i was producing
>>135191043
you can connect engines to engines but he made boilers for each engine.
>>135191681
Yes, let the water first run completely through the boilers, then to the steam engines. I think 14 boilers to 12 steam engines is a good ratio.
>Steel chest is the highest tier
WHAT
Pretty sure there are mods for this right?
>>135192303
Anything more than 10 engines will run out of water. 1 pump, 14 boilers and 10 engines is the best setup.
>>135191681
that's pretty interesting, do the steam engines atcually get hot enough water this way?
i'd think the first few get cold-ish water when it's under high load
>>135192714
Pretty sure you only need dumb chests for limited-size buffers. And for those initial coal/stone mines.
>>135191681
Research accidents when? Exploding labs, poisonous clouds, the works. Right now research is too safe.
Wait, if you can put different bottles in different labs, how does that affect research speed? Does a lab with one bottle type in it work n times slower?
What is a good number of logistics/construction bots to have in your system? Do you make a certain number per roboport?

Is there any way to burn off light and heavy oil? I don't need that shit and it's cockblocking my petroleum production. Can't I just dump it into the ocean?
>crack it
Fuck that. My bundle of snakes is already complicated enough.
>>135198936
If you set a recipe that needs a liquid the assembler get's an input tube you can connect with.

I fucking hate pipes, and setting up a whole additional factory of pipes just to make petgas I don't need is the opposite of ayy removal.
Huge oil fires sound Factorio as fuck, anyway.

>>135192303
Different guy, but do you guys mean:
Pump>boiler>boiler>boiler>ect>engine>engine>engine>ect, in a great big line?
>>135199804
Yes, the boilers need to be one after another, however afterwards you can split of the pipe as much as you want to the engines.
>>135199804
Jawohl.
Think logically, comrade-anon. The water has to be hot before entering the steam engine, so it has to run through the length of the boilers before entering the engines.
However, once through all of the boilers it can be routed however you want.
i feel too safe near water, i want to have swimmers that get alerted when you make sewage waste, then a kraken or a big fish comes as end boss, pushing you to make sea bases and aquatic advances to destroy them.
>there are 2 more upgrades to the blue transport belt

>>135199158
>>135199776
Turn into solid fuel. You can burn it instead of coal in your power plants.
>>135202225
1 setup of oil creates an infinite amount of fuel. I have a 25 hour old base which im nonstop building and i cant get rid of the fuel. Thats not a long-term solution
Would it make any sense to remove almost all conveyors at some point and replace them by robots?
>>135202676
In place of water, use any other liquid for your steam engine.
It's highly inefficient in terms of power generation, but very effective at waste disposal.
>>135186021
>found out about factorio 2 days ago

>all I want to do is play more
I love this fucking game.
>>135202676
Just put the fuel assemblers first in line with the heavy and light oils. This assures that the solid fuel generators get first dibs on the byproducts. Then, use the conversion assemblers to turn heavy into light and light into petrol
>>135203510
it doesnt really make sense but its still what i end up doing every single playthrough, along with a gigantic solar panel field
>Making Blue Science with Bobs Mod
4 hours in senpai
This is autism at its finest, the logistics required for this are insane, especially since im not good with base building and the blueprints from that blueprints site dont work with Bobs mods
>>135203968
Why is Factorio so incredibly absorbing? It draws me in like no other game, I've racked up these 55 hours in the last 2 weeks. I can zone in for hours and lose myself until I realise I need to piss so much it's actually painful.
>>135204350
>55 hours
>2 weeks
>not even 120 hours in 1 week
casual
Anyways, the reason its so addicting is because its basically problem solving: the game
Many people get bored super fast, but when they discover a problem with a game or their computer they become incredibly focused on fixing this. No idea why. Factorio basically turned this into a game, constantly thinking about optimizing and finding solutions for new Logistic problems which in the end can be extremely rewarding when it works.
>>135204180
You will have to repeat that about 5 more times. There are like 2 or 3 more tiers of circuit boards to make, and your first module has about the same complexity as blue science from scratch. And then there are 2 more tiers of module circuit boards.
Have I mentioned that all modular armor like power armor is also gated behind speed/efficiency module tech? Better start working on that if you want that personal roboport.
>>135204350
Because there is no stopping point in the game. There are no levels or rounds, the game doesn't end. There isn't a point where you can say "okay, I finished this round, this would be a good time to quit and do something else". Nope, the game goes on and on. Once you finished something you are instantly thinking of the new tech to build, or new expansion you need. This is the true curse of sandbox games.
>>135201902
the easiest way to get advanced oil refining if you are too lazy to set up blue science is to make 75 blue science by hand.
>>135204995
has anyone ever made a base with that?

Am i the only one that like to make needlessly big and stone consuming but cool looking walls ?
>>135206919
That's like my favorite thing.
I also like over the top gatehouses
>>135207135
example?
The main problem with bob's mod is that since you need so many types of ores, mining bases kind of lose their meaning. Instead of making a dozen mining bases here and there like in vanilla, it becomes more effective to just push your wall and take over massive parts of the land.
This screenshot is with medium/medium frequency/size settings. As you can see my mines pretty much touch each other. All the ores fields are much closer to each other because of the increased variety of them spawning. I guess I could decrease the frequency, but making wall push like you do in longworlds would probably still be the best.
I think in my next game I will just disable the new ores and use the replicator mod to create the new resources. This means I will need a lot more iron, copper and coal to create the massive power needed for the replicators, but I much prefer the original kind of expansions where you have fewer but larger mining bases.
Also most of the new ores added by the mod are only needed in small quantities, so you end up with a dozen mining bases that you barely even use, because everything you need can be harvested with 2 round trips with a train. Honestly with things like gems it was simpler to just load them into the car and haul it home personally, and that pretty much lasts for the whole game.
>>135206919
nah i like it. gives me an oddworld kind of feeling
>>135207135
I know right ?
i like to put mines too generaly but i was lazy this time. Going to mass produce them eventually
>>135191681
Well i used your technique
>>135208102
A proper rail gate is such a beautiful thing, makes the base all hermetic and nice.
>>135208262
>>135208262
Do you know what is triggering me the most about that?
It's not even the horrible power generation.
It's that red splitter on a yellow belt
>>135207771

>>135209128
Of course it's made by a furfag, every autism mod is.
>>135209128
To mod an already autistic game like factorio with more autism requires a degree of autism only seen in furries.
No other being has enough manage the feat
>>135177007
>Because in one case you use coal as a chemical component, and in other as a fuel.
Sure but coal is just lots of carbon a tiny bit of hydrogen some sulfur and a mix of other trace elements.
Coal isn't part of plastic production in the real world and in fact heavy oil production creates a byproduct that's the next best thing to coke as well as plastics.
Plastics shouldn't require coal and in fact should only offer coal as a less desirable option to oil.
That said game balance is the real answer. If you could just use oil after advanced refining coal becomes worthless and can be ignored completely.

Dam, went trough the the fast inserter recipe and found it needs actual wood in construction in bob's mods.

Im pretty scrubby at making facories and havent even made it up to Blue level science shit.

Hopefully it's still up by the time I have a chance to join, I'm Killin Ayys, and I was really looking forward to continue expanding on that peninsula me and Steel cleared out last night.

We all make sacrifices.

Pic of your sister?
>>135178089
It obviously wasn't worth it, as it's not fuckin' working.
>>135221873
The point of the mod is to give you endgame content. So even after you've built everything, you can still make better versions of them.
>>135221873
mix the production for the different modules and sort it out at the end
>>135219247
>>135218974
turns out I didn't have to buy the game
new vanilla dedicated server up and running, address is 4chas.ftp.sh
>>135224375
also here's the "server" hardware stats. I have no idea what kind of requirements this game has.
>>135214986
I don't think so but it does give me early warning if the apocalypse comes and everything shatters somehow. It also scans the shit out of the surroundings so the map will keep unmasking. The wall itself DOES prevent ayys from getting in once they're completely eradicated from behind it. Technically they need to have a clear pathing line from an existing camp to establish a new camp so this prevents that.
>>135224814
is that an actual dell server?
or just a dell laptop?

laptop was too slow and eventually crashed, should be back up and running correctly now
Post shitty set ups!

>I knew how to play the game to 100% before I played the game
OK. Either lying, or a youtube watching faggot. Either way youre super gay and probably a faggot that kills communities

I think it was neko?
>>135228036both
How the fuck do you chat in multiplayer?
>>135227142
im going to just research bota and have them automate it, my set up is ass but works, no space for green pots so i had to cut corners
>>135227937
it was neko
and now "presstabstart"
>>135228410
maybe it is actually the number of connections?
A moment of silence for our fallen comrades, dobrosNeko (sp?) and presstabstart. May there be a server for you somewhere, even if not ours.
>>135228402
literally just put a single south-aligned belt where the arrow is and it'll force green science to the other side of the feedprobably
>>135228502
presstabstart here
I don't understand what's going on

try doing it to NE USA
What's the best way to unload a train onto a conveyor? I'm using a row of chests as a buffer, but it never manages to fully unload the last haul before the next one comes into the station, so my chests will eventually fill up. Tried various conveyor layouts but they always clog up somewhere.

>>135228898
What I would do is don't feed the reds into the main belt on that side. Rather, tunnel through and feed them in to the left. That will keep them separated.
>>135227142
>Not hiding a loop in every screenshot
wew
>>135229312
Did you remember to unpause the game?
>>135229312
Use the fastest inserters you can and operate on both sides. Also robutts make it go lightning fast. If you don't have robutts you'll have to just setup a second train stop just after your first one.
>>135229487
>ping 112
There's your problem pal.
>>135229640
I actually don't have a problem unloading the train into chests, but unloading the chests to move the ore into smelting I can't do before the train makes a round trip.
Logistics chests might be the answer but I need to tech into blue science to get them which I haven't done yet.
>>135229569
That'd work too, I just thought the single belt was the easiest fix.
>>135229312
What's the blockpoint, belts not emptying at the other end quick enough or too high density on a single belt?
Could anyone in the UK/Europe set up a vanilla server?
>>135229945
Oh yeah, I couldn't really tell what you meant by "arrow" but you could have the green science packs load onto a downward facing belt I guess. You would probably have to move the other belts in the row one cell down though.
>>135230147
Nah, the point is to aim the inserter at a curved belt since that'll make it insert to the inside of the curve. Putting the new piece north means that the inside corner is the left-hand side of the belt, while red is already entering on the right-hand side.
>>135229945
I think it's too high density on a single belt. I wound up making this monstrosity to try to help distribute the load a bit better but I don't think it helped.
How the fuck do you deal with a massed horde of green ayys?
No amount of lasers kills them before they at least get through a few layers of wall, and if they have behemoth spitters turrets will be lost as well.
>>135230693
>How do you deal with a massed horde of green ayys?
You don't. Embrace death.
I hate my country so much.
>>135230582
What's at the other end of the iron belt? Is it moving?
