How do you guys mass produce red/blue belts? Fuckloads of iron for the gears? Any recycling of old bits?

I have yellows feed into a limited chest, which (when I have the tech) feeds into a red belt assembler, which goes into a limited chest, which goes to the blue assembler and output chest. When I replace belts, say yellows with reds, I drop the yellows in the proper chest for it to be recycled. And yea, factory work pretty much grinds to a halt when blue belts first get researched.

Speaking of Mods, is there any mods Goons want to recommend? Vanilla is great and all, but I'm not opposed to some Quality of Life mods or "Cool thing" mods to mess about with while we wait for the next patch to drop. Any mods that significantly change the game that aren't terrible?

It's been a while since I used DyTech, but it sounds like it hasn't changed that much. I enjoyed my playthrough, but at the end of the day it just added more but not really a lot of different. There are some other mods that do cool stuff but I haven't dug in too much. I try to avoid a lot of mods because they seem pretty game breaking (like a tree farm, that kind of fundamentally changes the pollution mechanic). But someone made an oil tanker car which looks pretty cool. I may try that out next time.

Thanks to all the traffic in this thread lately, I pulled the trigger on buying this game. So far, I'm enjoying myself. I managed to automate some red science packs this morning, which felt good. Had to stop on the greens before I was late for work.

I'd like to see some other people's factory layouts or smaller layouts they've worked out for specific products; I've noticed all my factories are starting to look kinda samey these days and it'd be nice to get some new ideas.

Bhodi posted:There was a great oil layout way back in the thread that I stole, but it may have been lost to time. That's actually a pretty terrible layout - you're going to run out of room drat quickly, and you have an extremely limited way to expand. I prefer the Infinitely Tessellated Tankfarm:  It can expand up (or down) and to the right forever, adding capacity for both refining and storage. Branching off chem plants from this is dead easy, too. Extend pipes out up (or down) from the leftmost set of tanks, and then use underground pipes to pull off to the side:  You can see the water tanks that feed up into the refinery farm here as well. This is a bit messy, since it's from one of my earlier fortresses, but you can get the idea from it.

You aren't playing factorio unless you build with no plan and your expansions are constantly screwed up due to earlier layout mistakes.

I prefer the Infinitely Tessellated Tankfarm: That looks very un-factorio. This is how a factorio oil refinery looks:  A right proper mess that expands where it can when it can expands like it needs. Edit: I just downloaded a huge patch. Do we have nuclear weapons or artillery yet? Surely there must have been a lot of toys in that one.

Well since no one seems keen to rave about mods I found one that you may all want. Tree Collision Box http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=12365 Why? It lets you run through forests without bumping into a tree every five cocking seconds.

I like to build refineries like this. It's easy to expand in two dimensions based on immediate needs. It's on a regular 6x6 grid, there's room to walk between the rows, and there's an entire tank as a hopper for each processor. Edit: in retrospect, the lube would go better on the top instead of the bottom, so downward expansion wouldn't have to skip over it Phssthpok fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Jul 2, 2015 |

Just do everything with bots. Refine your ores  and your oil.  Make your fuel blocks  and of course, all the things.  It only takes a small army to do it

If you're having problems with trees, get the Explosive Termites mod. It adds two new items, Explosive Termites and Alien Explosive Termites, which will literally take out an entire forest a few hundred tiles in diameter. I've been using them liberally in this modpack.

Furnaces choose their recipe based on what is put into them, so having an ambiguous situation like that might get weird/buggy; I'm not sure, I haven't tried it. You could make a "double furnace" though with its own recipe category and then just double and copy all smelting recipes to take double input, double output, and double processing time. Though the True Factorio answer is just to make more furnaces.

The factory that builds 60 rocket defenses in an hour got a call out in this week's Friday update by the devs. Did one of the posters here make it? I remember hearing about it before and I don't read the game forums. Oh, and they're targeting next week for 0.12.

Sage Grimm posted:Nah, EvilReaver was more inclined towards speedrunning though I do remember him building a factory to automate rocket defenses at one point. Yea that was my area, but 60/hr is outta my league. My best runs are 8 hours for one RD, and 24 RDs in 24 hours, which I believe aren't even records in and of themselves. E: In order to get 60/hr, that would have to be a long-running game (100+ hours) and I never run longer than 30 hours. E2: Looking at it, 100+ hours nothing, I'd be surprised if it was less than 300+ hours Evilreaver fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Jul 6, 2015 |

Record for one RD is just under 4 hours, so you still need to cut that in half. That 1 RD/minute save has a play time of 238 hours.

Well just look at the loving size of the thing and look at the size of the factory he used to build that compound; I'd guess at least 100 of those hours were spent just in transit from point to point.
