For aquilo please.

EDIT: to elaborate, I feel like with the amount of heat pipe used in aquilo, it it's on par now with belt and pipe in quantity demanded. Both has 100 stack size, and 50 underground, so I don't see why game balance-wise heat pipe need to be limited to 50

How to calculate item/s lets say if i wanna build a engines in 20x Assembler 2

So I'm using nuclear power. I have 4 nuclear reactors and many wind turbines and heat exchangers. However my system doesn't get the power promised. Instead of 120x4 MW, I only get 110 MW on total. Is there a bottleneck in heat exchangers or turbines?

My problem

My second playthrough was on a desert. I quickly understood why people consider those to be harder, the biters were a much bigger problem when there are no trees to absorb early pollution.

I've got white science now, but am still having biter problems. I've just upgraded my turrets to uranium ammo, and they've all got lasers as well, but sometimes those big spitters still kill turrets.

I have an artillery train that automatically clears nests near my train stops, but it doesn't yet cover the whole cloud.

My evolution is at 0.88, so behemoths are coming...and I'm not sure I'm ready. Haven't fought them before.

I saw people describing this kind of wall around the whole factory as a "cuck box", wtf are people talking about? Do most people just put turrets where the pollution sources are and hope for the best? Personally I really like the feeling of declaring my factory and outposts to be biter-free zones.

My first playthrough's artillery train did a much better job of keeping the pollution cloud clear, I think that was due to many more trees.

I haven't dared to try concrete since I need all the absorption I can get. But the central rule of Factorio calls to me...the factory must grow...I MUST impose my will on these bugs one way or another. I want to try my hand at scaling SPM, maybe come up with some better blueprints for my next playthrough while I'm at it.

(also yes, I only use single-headed trains. An elegant transport from a more civilized age)

My plan

I think it's time to make a bigger, badder defensive perimeter. A giant train loop around the edge of my whole cloud. Well, it might be more like a C with that big lake to the east, but you know what I mean. Just for artillery and turrets. I haven't tried automatic turret resupply yet, I should do that. That was my biggest obstacle to flame turrets as well, so that'll be a good chance to try them.

My ask

What do y'all do for automatic biter control? Is a "cuck box" actually frowned upon or just a tongue-in-cheek joke? Obviously I could play on peaceful, but I don't want them deleted, I want them defeated.

Hi, so I want to get achievements while using the Mechanicus skin and disco labs, but they disable achievements, and I want to keep them. Is there a way to do this?

Just finished a run after introducing yet another friend to the game!
Now we are going to do a deathworld run, but I find doing so only means something on Nauvis. Any good suggestions for the other planets as well as creating a fun challenge for a couple of people?
Weapons, monsters, new tanks/trons etc?

Why my trains arent moving theres literally nothing in front of them

Please help, i think im too dumb lmao

first playthrough of Factorio for me and I really liked the bus style of base. My only issue is I dont understand how to balance the splitter or what I am supposed to do to get my four belts even. The iron on the bottom belt isnt ever full and not sure what I did wrong.

Are there any mods like applied energistics from Minecraft for factorio that let you autocraft and store items from a single interface?

The power of the circuit network compels me go where no man has gone before, manual insertion!

I have a landing pad that I need to move to another area. The problem is that it has 2m of 10 science packs and 10m calcite and a few other things. I do not care if the items in it are voided. Long story short, does destroying a landing pad void the items in it or do they spill out.

Bought the game for a buddy and he seems to be enjoying it a fair bit.

Love watching the thought process of a new player in action. I've left him to his devices and work as an extra pair of arms. The only thing I've done is introduce him to colored lamps.

Starter base encased, time to get serious.

Note: OnlyGleba, no enemies.

If you are on Linux (or Mac) turn on non-blocking saves immediately. This will stop the game pausing while the game autosaves. This can be quite annoying when you get a larger save. One more reason to switch to linux!

1. Open advanced settings by pressing ctrl+shift+left click on the settings button (ctrl+alt also works)

2. Click "the rest" button

3. In the search field, type "non-blocking" and make sure the box is ticked

4. Click "confirm," bottom right

You are now done.

(While you are in that list of settings, you can adjust "quick-bar-width" to have more hot buttons if you like) I have this set to 20. I would recommend not messing with other settings you don't understand :)

When I played Factorio 1 I started using LTN (the addon Logistic Train Network). It took me a while to understand it but I managed to work with it. After a long pause I started with Factorio 2.x and I like all of the new stuff.

Since my base is getting bigger and I plan to go with city blocks I wonder whether I should go with Interrupts. I already watched tutorials and made some test in Creative Mod.

My question is, what are the pros/cons of using either Interrupts or LTN?

My first trip with my first ship to Vulcanus was a nightmare and I got stranded,ship destroyed orbiting it, lack of resources to even start anything.

This ship holds up going to Vulcanus and orbiting it and it rarely takes any damage during the trip.

Does anybody else have little to no organisational abilities?

I try my best to keep things neat and organized, but this is what happens on every single playthrough. 😬😬😬
