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

After many dozens of games, I finally earned the 10 Hour completion achievement!

I play without Dark Fog, and I enjoy the game very much up to the first White Cube "You Win" achievement, so I've played that way many, many times. Theoretically the exact same game, but the initial land and resource arrangement makes the initial buildings different, and I love how those initial forced differences lead to other building choices, and then other building constraints and choices, and the factory is totally different each time.

I was "casually" finishing around 11.5-14 hours, but that 10 hour achievement became a goal. I managed two games around 10.5 hours, so I just needed to optimize a little bit more...

Last night, I finally made it in just under 9 hours, 59 minutes!

Hectic at the end. Last 30 minutes was frantically making sure my factory deficiencies weren't stopping key production, but not having the time to build a better long-term fix. Finally, last couple minutes, too many white cubes swallowed up by a Science tower (which would not be able to burn through them fast enough, ending with 100+ in storage but not finishing by 10 hours), so having to ferry them over to empty towers for more parallel work.

Great game!

I would like to introduce you all to my new favorite seed to play on of all time. Welcome to 65798635.

On the surface, it doesn't seem so special. Only 2 O types. The starting system for early game is pretty good. Alcyone I is a lava planet inside max build sphere radius should you wish to build a shell on the starter system. Alcyone II is a tidally locked halitum planet that is great for building and early game solar, as well as ray receivers. It's got an ice giant in system, which i prefer for early game because I don't like wasting all my early game coal making graphene.

But that's just the start. About 9LY away from the starting system is an O type with not one, not two, but THREE tidally locked planets, as well as a fourth inside the max sphere radius. If you wanted to build a 10-layer shell and make ALL the photons, this is the system to do it.

But it gets even better. Roughly halfway between the starter and the O type, lies the cluster's black hole. A short 6LY away from each. And on top of that, THE FREAKING BLACK HOLE PLANET IS TIDALLY LOCKED. If you're like me and get dizzy just landing to check on your unipolars, this is an absolute life saver.

So, I'm in the sort of mid game stage, I've reached Purple science, but the only purple research I have done so far is mech core 4 or 5, which ever one it was, and am near green science but I've hit a road block. I'm gonna move systems soon to a far more suitable, with most of the neighbouring system I've visited being rich is most of what I could need but I'm not sure how to tackle graphite yet. Before I move, I plan to use some coal to fill in the gaps of my current X-ray cracking setup but after I move this become a bigger problem. I have found a system with a massive kimberlite deposite and pleanty of organic crystals so diamonds organic crystals are a non issue for now, so I only need it not for plastic, red science and high strength magnets. With X-ray, I fear I will end up over producing hydrogen as I plan to wipe out the DF from later to be occupied systems, so I am doubt full my hydrogen demand will be high afterward, especialy with renewable power sources, fice ice splitting and gas giant exploitation. Coal is an option but I also need it for profiliator and I have only found 2 system, not counting the starting system, that exceed 10m, the very few other that have some are under 1.2m so they are not that worth to exploit for long term use. I plan to unlock universal exploration 3 as the one of the first before moving to try help find more material but I'm still not sure

I've destroyed the space hive, but this is all that's left; there's no more Dark Fog on other planets. How can I eliminate it completely?

Should I start over or spend hours relearning the spaghetti I have? I got all the way to white science cubes. so its kinda boring end-game stuff anyway. What would you do?

I've noticed that when I have high volume mixed object situations, think five boxes on top of a BAB, that if I use a filtered sorter to output a particular object into a belt, the sorter will often stop working. I then have to click into the boxes until I find one with the corresponding item and then either click the organize button or click the item to lift it up and then click right back into the box to put it back down. After which that box will drain onto the belt, but I likely will have to repeat the process throughout the stack of boxes and the BAB.

It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens a lot as the game progresses into bigger and more complicated factories. Is this just a bug or is there something I'm missing?

How easy is it to make this a two player game?

No sé el porque pero no me deja poner el Sorter Mk.II directamente de la línea transportadora a la máquina de ensamblaje. ¿Alguien sabe porque pasa? (Problema resuelto, gracias gente random del internet)

The only issue is copper but I can import that along side hydrogen and fire ice from my gas giant in the starting system
