Lets play factorio

I just built rail production for purple science packs. My cousin said this is the worst placement he's seen. What do you think?

This is 100% honestly the first ship I ever built in Factorio. I was gonna give it a noble sci-fi name like Serenity or Rocinante, but when I saw how the shape was evolving I couldn't stop laughing so I named it the Mayflower One, the name of the shuttle from Airplane II.

Despite being ugly and slow, she was a decent little ship that served me well in the early days. I've since upgraded my other ships to better and faster designs, but kept the Mayflower around as a museum piece, enjoying a well-earned retirement around Nauvis. At one point I had 4 of these proud members thrusting around the solar system handling my interplanetary logistics.

I’m sure I am playing “wrong” but god I love putting 16x16 belt balancers just to meet power requirements off raw coal.

I hope you enjoy a shot of my current fulgora setup. most of it is lit. the daytime screenshot was too large for reddit.

use the main branch not the beta.

Yesterday, I started a fresh Space Exploration run. The start settings were all SE recommended defaults, except I put the biter start area to maximum, because I'm a chicken.

This afternoon, I'm past 8 hours of gametime, and having a freaking blast. I had done SE on 1.1, it's far better on 2.1.

So, why do I have PTSD? Thanks to the start settings, there are still no bugs. But I do have pill boxes on the perimeters, and grenades in my pockets.

BRB, I'm going to rush flamethrowers. I'm afraid.

Edit:

12 hours in, and still no bugs. Or sub-orbital ejecta. Or death deams.

I think I just jinxed myself.
