How hard would it be to include a nuclear powered train that goes terrifyingly, unreasonably fast, but SCRAMS if it stops for more than like six seconds? Edit: Also, is there any efficient way to strip the modules out of machines and replace them without clicking in to each one individually?

There was a server test recently where they had 154 simultaneous connections and apparently it all went very smoothly. I hope the mod community or devs wip up some really cool scenarios now that MP has been reworked.

I like bruteforce because it's way easier Also, is there a way to save blueprints to use in other games so I don't have to figure out how I built my drat red/green/blue factory again?

The two popular mods for that are Blueprint String (really basic, just load/save) and Foreman (more complex, lets you manage tons of blueprints easily).

I greatly underestimated the level of research required after blue gets set up to reach the missile silo and launch. Also underestimated steel production..again. Made it to the 15 hours achievement with no issue but nowhere near the 8 hour one. Ah well, time to dick around with trains and logi-bots at a massive scale.

As an idea, supply train running your panels and capacitor thingys to your LSPA, then you coming in and expanding its footprint using blueprints + bot logistic nodes every so often. As end products I believe you don't need them for anything beyond satellites.

If nothing else, I can leave a cargo train parked on my bus train line, pack it full of panels and accumulators and substations and walls, then cart the whole thing out to the work site en masse. Save me some bullshit time shuttling.

You know what's a really cool mod? Robotarmy. It lets you build robot armies that seem to behave with the same logic as biters, which means they form up into groups and seek out enemies to kill them. They'll also automatically collect the artifacts that spawners drop. I've had it installed for a while but never built any robots until just recently, and now I love them. I can just drop a stack somewhere troublesome and walk away and they'll just hunt and hunt and hunt until they all die.

Just send out a train full of panels and poo poo occasionally and the farm builds itself

Maybe for the next farm, once I finish this first one.

For a while I was tryin to do the whole ideal ratio thing in solar farms but even when I'm placing them with blue prints I just do two rows of panels above a substation and two rows below. Then I just click and hold and drag in a straight line. Way easier then trying to align each blueprint stamp with the rest. The ratio comes out close enough.

Over 400 people on that try. The new MP code in 0.14 is impressively stable and scalable to be honest. If you have enough computer grunt and bandwidth, just keep piling the people in. With 350+ I could still move around and perform actions. A lot of 'server not responding' and a constant stream of people coming in/out, messages etc. Very impressive.

So what are the must-have mods these days for someone who's finally up to speed on playing the base game? Is there a central md HQ somewhere, or anything analogous to CKAN for KSP?

The game has a mod manager built-in now, and your can access it outside the game at mods.factorio.com. As for most have mods... A blueprint manager is nice. Most of GotLag's mods are great additions. But I can't think of anything that's truly "must have." RSO is a fun challenge though.

Anyone know when Arumba is hosting another massive server? I watched the videos and it looked like really good fun. All I see on the Public Game List is some backup server with 5 people in it.
