I think it might have been construction robots? Does it count those while they are floating in the logistics count? Running 11.19 I think, definitely well after the power destruction, and my base is a massive square so there is nothing possibly over nests.Volmarias posted:Some of your robots have formed a fight club I want to see a mod with this in it now. Maybe bots that can be infected or go haywire.

Somewhere in your system, robots are taking a shortcut that brings them out of range of your roboports, thus removing them from your logistics network until they get back into range.

Anyone have any opinions on mod setups right now? Anything good to go along with Bob's assortment? I wanted to like Dytech, but the double research system was stupid as gently caress, so no DyTech for me.

The dev blog mentions they're getting ready to apply to Steamquote:0.12 is our wedding day I think they'll be fine, judging by other games that made it to Steam Early Access. Also curious to see how many new players will show up once a Steam version is available.

If a Steam release gets us a workshop mod that changes the train texture to Thomas, I'm nothing but supportive.

I finally got a marathon mod game past the early game. Over 50 hours in and I'm just now automating some red circuit production.  e:

I'm playing my first game where I've gotten properly far enough to make good use of bots, and man what a game-changer. Now I need to automate construction of every building I want to place semi-regularly instead of crafting it by hand and I'm choking on iron plate and green chip production. I've got a very friendly starting area with an easy enough to defend entrance corridor but there aren't really any huge resource fields close by that aren't in the defensible area, so I'm gonna need to brave the xeno hordes soon.

One of the first things I do every game is rush for automobilism and piercing rounds, and clear a bunch of spawners while the biters and worms are still small. Defender capsules are handy, but not necessary if you just drive in circles forever and brings tons of ammo. I always try to keep pollution low, and regularly cleaning out spawners around your base means you'll never get attacked. I've never actually tried the tank, but sounds like that's what you're gonna need if you don't have access to power suits.

In general, I'm not a fan of a lot of the mods out there. They change the feel of the game in ways they shouldn't, IMO. That said, I like modding, and I try to make my own mods as clean as possible: limited gameplay impact, and as compatible as possible with other mods. I just finished a few, if you guys want to take a look. Link to forums search yielding my mods I'm looking to update Scrap Mod and Terminal Chests soon. -ish.

I tried a game with Dytech, and wasn't really happy with it. IMHO adding new tech that takes metals that only occurs in 1 tile spawns all over the map kind of defeats the point of a game about building massive factories. Also, it has basically no documentation at all. That said, I would like a mod that adds a bit more complexity to the combat/base defenses, instead of building a thousand laser turrets and ignoring ammo. Dytech added a flamethrower turret which I thought was cool, but not enough to use the rest of the mod. Is there a good mod that does something in that area? Seems like rocket or cannon turrets would be a great addition (after all, the ammo is already there) with enemies that justify their use.

Stuff I've thought about doing my own take on that have already been done in other mods: Tree growth Wood - - - > coal production chain Rocket/flame turrets Wind power Weather Events that damage solar panels Improved repair packs and I'm sure there's more I just can't think of right now. Part of the problem (other than my own laziness) is that some of those changes kind of need to overhaul more than one element to be coherent in game; for example, in vanilla wind speed is constant (though direction changes), so wind power is effectively constant free power, so you kind of need to set up a weather system if you're going to add it. Or rocket/flame turrets, while cool, would probably need a change to biters and the damage system. Better repair packs require changing bots (currently, construction bots can only hold one specific type of repair pack defined in their prototype declaration). Etc. Plus I'm very haphazard in my efforts. I've been working on scrap mod on and off (mostly off) for the past year. I will say, however, that modding options have expanded a lot, and I'm super looking forward to 0.12.

They added tanks a while back, which are an improvement. They are pretty good at snipering down spawners, and leading the enemies back to your wall of turret death. Endgame is still a juiced up power-armor running at a million miles per hour while vomiting capsules though.

Endgame is still a juiced up power-armor running at a million miles per hour while vomiting capsules though. I like the tank for travel as it has a lot of cargo and doesn't explode instantly when it rubs against a shrub. Though for deep fighting it's pretty weak in my opinion. I would really like some alternative to use up some of these spare resources on warfare while at the same time save myself the grinding of alien nests. Nuclear weapons seem like a good compromise. Spend a ton of resources to build a missiles and then drop a beacon on the nest to launch it.

Too big, too singular. I'd use combat androids with a drone-control APC as an alternative to the tank. Mass-produce androids and throw them at nests. Artillery that can be aimed with a laser pointer (with mass-produced shells, plus you have to build a half-dozen howitzers) would be cool too. They're noisy though! Make sure those emplacements are defended! Now I'm even thinking plasma artillery, where you can go all Lavos on those bugs.

Automated Drone-bug murder has been something I've wanted since the get-go. Plop down some beacons, let the droids march out, las gun the bugs, and bring back the orbs. APC home base is good, but I want to build trains to ship the troops to the front, like it's soviet Russia.

Make sure those emplacements are defended! I've had pretty much the same idea some time ago. The idea of a huge biter infested swath of land being pounded with heavy fire, with hordes of bugs pouring out, all while trainloads of shells and bullets are shipped in, just seems right. It'd be great to have a whole variety of shells that do different kinds of damage over varying areas, and with different tech requirements. Bog standard explosive shells, napalm shells, shells filled with sulfuric acid when that's all you got, shells filled with an insecticide called "mustard gas", and so on and so forth. The top tier should definitely be a nuclear shell. "A", as in you'd probably only need one per nest area. That's all kind of a moot point, though, because with the coming space segment we should just be given the ability to drop big rocks from very high up directly on the nests.

Actually, nuclear missiles sound perfect. Just be sure to include some fallout so you piss off every other hive in existence.

Which is why you mass produce the missiles and also vaporize every other hive in existence. That's the Factorio Way.

I spent 6 hours setting up a factory, got plenty of blue science rolling in, built a train, stupidly tried to get in said train while it was moving, died, checked last save file... 3 hours ago. Game should autosave when stepping within 100 feet of a train. Yea it was my fault but I don't think I've died to biters once, only stupid train deaths. Devs please protect me from myself. Oh well, there were a few areas I could have improved on... edit: derp, last time I played this game I don't think it had autosave, or I had it disabled, so I forgot about it. Welp, now I can have even more stupid train deaths. Kibbles n Shits fucked around with this message at 02:03 on May 23, 2015 |
