Trip report from a full .12 run: There certainly don't seem to be any multiplayer memory leaks! Though if you plan to have more people connect, set your initial latency higher than the minimum 33ms. Will make it a lot less choppy. The new endgame is interesting as hell. You need rocket fuel which is made from Solid Fuel, Low Density parts which is steel, plastic and copper, and rocket control parts which are speed1 mods and blue circuits. And a satellite which needs much of the same, but no rocket control, more blue parts and solar panels and stuff. The final animation is pretty sweet and REALLY satisfying. Bohdi and I with a good helping midway through from Krymsphoenix finished a passive map in just under 12 hours. 10/10 would sperg again.... next patch.

From the thread on their forums, it's a bug - they multiplied the power generation and consumption of armour things to account for the new roboport modules, but forgot to boost the shield consumption to match. Enjoy it while it lasts!

I don't know if this impresses or informs anyone, but I currently play the hell out of Factorio on Ubuntu that has been installed on top of a Chromebook Crouton. It's a "high end" Chromebook (~$250) and it runs really really well even into the end-game. This patch made it run even better with virtually no stutters or freezes.

I really couldn't care less what my FPS are. That I can run this game on a $250 computer with a medium or even large-ish base with a small RR network and it doesn't choke and die is kind of miraculous.

Yeah, two shields definitely made me feel completely untouchable, even to huge biter nests. In other news, the personal robo port is loving amazing. You want a forest gone? Take a dozen construction robots with you and a deconstruction blueprint. You're a loving "gently caress your tribe, this wood is mine now, motherfucker" lumberjack of rainforest proportions. That whole station you have to rework from scratch? No problem at all. Let your tiny swarm of horrors insta-nuke it for you! Not to mention, if you're travelling in a vehicle and you have a few repair packs, if you crash into something or take damage, a robot will fly out, repair you, and get back in with you automatically. It's amazing.

If no one is on, it's automatically paused. I intend to leave it running forever and let it become a giant clusterfuck of a factory, until the join time is too long for anyone to manage, or my bandwidth usage is excessive.

What happens to existing lasers when you upgrade to .12? I have tons of them lining the walls of my factories, and I dunno how it handles the size change. . .

They break each other's bounding boxes but otherwise seem to function as normal. You can pick them up, but of course you can't put them back down the same way.

Use Advanced Oil Processing for lots of gas and light oil. Crack all the heavy oil to Lubricant, or crack it to light oil if you have enough of that. Crack all light oil to gas. Build lots of things that use the gas.

Build more storage tanks, duh. But Kyrsmphoenix has it right, you'll want Advanced Oil Processing so that the only clogging is going to be the really useful petroleum gas, used in plastics and sulfur production.

With pumps working in a circuit network, I setup my heavy > light crackers so that the heavy oil has to go through a pump, then connected that pump to my lubricant storage tanks, and said the pump should only pump if I have more than 4900 lubricant (the two tanks worth). So that way I get maximum lubricant, but the factory won't shut down if I fill up on lubricant either.

The name of every item, bar none, is seen on hoverover, with spaces replaced with dashes. That's the way the code goes.

Havent played this game since 0.10 and it looked like 0.12 changed enough things to keep the game fresh. I decided to go for the central bus type of design, which is pretty fun and easy on the brain but creates this gigantic sprawling base. (this is good) One of the bases i made in my previous game could create every item in the game in like a 50x50 tile radius but it only had 1 assembler for each item and was not extendable. This time i have this ridiculous sprawling monstrosity that is very easy to expand. Still not sure how i feel about logistics robots, especially the personal roboport, logistics robots make everything too easy in my opinion. They are very convenient for clearing trees but enables such lazyness in base design if you use them in stead of conveyor belts. I had hoped 0.12 had done a few things to the low quality of life features. I had forgotten how annoying it is to have to remove all those trees. In the game i started i was right in the middle of a huge rear end forest. I suppose i could have restarted until i started in a desert or something, but id rather have a better system for dealing with trees than that. Maybe a tree removing robot you can build early on in the game? The electricity distribution is also fairly annoying. The basic pole has abysmal coverage and reach so you need these things everywhere. What really gets my blood pressure up though is that the best pole does nothing to rectify the situation, you still need 1 on each side of an assembler to give both inserters power. The night/day cycle does nothing for me either. Every time it gets dark i find myself just waiting it out and reading stuff on the internet while waiting for it to turn to daytime again. Having it get darkER is fine and adds to immersion, but pitch black does nothing for me. I am not Arumba and cover my entire base with lights, thats just a tedious job that detracts from further expanding my base. Are there any mods to fix any of these issues? I am not looking to REMOVE ALL TREES or to have DAYTIME ALL THE TIME, or electric poles with 1000 tile coverage but something moderate to increase the quality of life when playing the game.

Logistic robots is a trade-off of bandwidth and parts vs belts. They take an incredible amount of different components to make whereas belts are, at it's core, just iron, gears and lubricant for the top tier. Additionally if you don't care how long a volume of things take to build then the robits are the way to go.

Does anyone else use Circuit networks? I've only just gotten into them and am finding it really useful for managing materials I don't need a whole lot of. I never really need more than 100 Grenades sitting about and a system that'll automatically keep it at that number is great. Not managed to use the new Combinators for anything yet, but I'm sure I'll think of a reason to eventually.
