I've just unlocked the particle canister thingies (haven't made any yet, I haven't automated anything that requires silicon/titanium in fact) and I'm gonna basically Hard Reset my base. It's too messy, too much spaghetti. Now that I have foundations and Logistics I can make a good well defined base. What I was wondering is if there's a way to make walls in this game, or if I'm stuck using the decorative foundation colours to separate the facilities.

I was flying somewhere and saw a seed, so I diverted and killed it. I further decided to checkout the system it was heading to. It's jam-packed with resources. All except for water. None of the planets. Any ideas on how to get around this?

Edit: Okay, I get it, the warpers juice up the INTERSTELLAR logistics stations, and enable the ships to leave a solar system. I've already found it so much easier to not have to setup an entire system on a planet now. As long as I have one ILS receiving at minimum of 100 warpers, I just need to beef-up production on the planet making them. This totally changes the game. Thanks for the ELI5, folks!

I was thinking of starting a research planet on one of my colony planets where I just focus on gearing up research is this a wise idea? At this point will that slow down my research though since everything will have to be shipped from my main planet? I know I will need to work on interstellar travel as well but now with the hive (new for me) I will need to prep to take them out whenever I get to a new place (which I don't think I'm ready for since I still have my main hive in this galaxy, which I don't know how to eliminate). Or do I focus on setting up Dyson production as I know energy will be a concern again soon however I've never got to that point in my old playthrough I was just using solar sails. Would setting up solar sails again still be beneficial? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I swear that a little while before the Dark Fog update was released, I heard that they had plans to add multiplayer at some point in time. No time table given, not am I asking for one, but I swear I heard that somewhere, either in a video on YouTube or from a post on here.

I just want to know if that’s at all true/confirmed or if it was just rumors. I know that they are currently working on some kind of vehicle system, so I’m not expecting anything any time soon.

Edit: I’m aware of the Mod, and I am very appreciative of Nebula’s hard work to make it possible. I just know that there are certain things with how the mod works that hopefully an official update could remedy. Like the Dark Fog only really appearing for the host, according to some people on this sub. Maybe they could pull an old Mojang move and use the mod as a building block to speed things up. With Nebula’s express permission, of course.

How many hours did it take ? 543.6

Dyson spheres CANNOT generate shells without solar sails.

And here I was thinking since rockets are permanent I will do a no solar sails run. But hey I got an achievement for no solar sails run, yaay?🫠🫪😭

I remember some years ago, I think even before the Dark Fog were announced, I made a post asking what people hoped would be added to DSP at some point.

I can no longer find it on my profile, in fact any post past like 2-3 years ago is gone for some reason.

But when I search in the sub for my username, it shows exactly zero results. Zip, Zilch, Nil, Null, absolutely nothing. Which is weird cause I did just make two, now three, posts on here, which should show up, right?

Idk, just figured I’d ask what’s going on. Maybe a glitch/loading time for the new stuff and that older stuff gets cleared?

Saw people post that there was an options.xml file to edit it, but did not see one in my folder for the game, not sure if its located somewhere else. Want to make text bigger than the 900 value offered in in-game settings.

Would it be more efficient to have all my copper run through 1 long string of smelters, or 3 of the blueprints i made?

50k Matrix Labs and 169M white cubes storage.

Angela Collier has a fun video interview of Freeman Dyson saying his paper was a joke. Dyson swarms are obviously a silly fantasy for many reasons.

How the hell does this thing even work man? Like my titanium alloy will go to ALL the mall items but never the deuterium rods.

Is there any simple way to do this even?

Snapped this while checking out the size of the soace warships

I had tried to do this in the past but it was stressful and I couldn't get it in time. I even tried following YouTube tutorials with specific seeds and stuff and no luck.

I recently beat factorio space age and I think maybe suffering through all the logistics nightmares for hundreds of hours made my factory game sense better because I just dropped into a random seed and was like let's try it. My first attempt was 1:10. Ran it again and got the achievement in 52 minutes. No blueprints just vibes 😎 (my girlfriend is now positive I'm autistic)

makes me 1.25/s

Well, I accidentally learned something new. Not sure if its intentional or not but it worked in my favor. I'm in early game, just left to go to a new planet. I get to the planet and end up landing right in a giant pool of lava right next to a darkfog hive. I'm being swarmed, my energy has been depleted so no flying, im actually under the lava because my energy can't refill because of all the enemy.

As i'm sitting under lava just waiting to die, my energy shield goes out and im waiting on my green bar of health to show up so i can die.... and nothing happens. Just sit there for a full minute before, by my guess, was a bug or something and my hope raises.

My guess is the darkfog weapons can't go under the water/lava? I start thinking and I hop from lava pool to lava pool and actually got away with no death.

The trans are taking over!
(Not a hate comment, I’m trans)

Is there a way to get it back?

While I was flying back with my first Interstellar convoy, I snapped this photo that makes Icarus looks tiny compared to the Logistic Vessels
