KaiserSchnitzel posted:11. I had to quit my first game after like 20 hours because of biter infestation. I just couldn't take out their bases at all. The most I was able to do effectively was to leapfrog turrets in the direction of their nests and hope the turrets lasted long enough to get the job done. I know you can configure biter options, and that's great; but it really seems like the late-early game biter infestation is excessive.

Can't you just run straight over trees in the tank? Maybe it slows you down a little bit I don't remember, but it doesn't stop you. Heck you can do the same thing to biter spawners.

Well I just started an angelbob multiplayer game for the first time. Every so often I'll go trace through the steps for doing something and just stare at the ceiling for a second saying fuuuuuuuuuuck. Same reaction to clicking on a research and seeing how much poo poo it unlocks.

Ratzap posted:Pyanadons stuff is out for 0.17 now so I grabbed it all (it's got it's own ore stuff now so no Bobs used) and I must say, it is easily the most boring start of them at the moment. Almost 3 hours in I have made 50 red science packs (by hand of course). Iron/copper plates are 8 ore to 1 plate, you need a good 1000 to 1200 iron just to make all the requirements for red packs, tin needs steam to mine so more iron to run pipes to it, quartz needs a special expensive building to mine. Playing 2p multi, it took us almost 20 hours to get circuits1 fully automated, with a base larger and more complicated than you need to launch a rocket in vanilla. Circuits2 are several times more complex, like holy poo poo so much stuff required. AngelBob's felt like good complexity, Pyanodons kinda feels just a little too far on the tedious side. Still wanna finish it.

Yeah early on I had a warehouse for each ore type to act as a buffer. It takes forever to fill up and when it does you can either drop another warehouse or just blow it up and replace it. Slag and crushed rock still need a dedicated solution though, they build up so fast. The combination sorting recipes are the ones that take two different types of raw ore and a catalyst to put out a single metal ore. The four basic metals take two different ore plus a catalyst, the next tier takes chunks, and the third tier takes crystals. You can set up a bus with just the four raw mine-able ores and split off the combinations you need for a particular metal ore. Again it's more of a late game solution but after spending hours dealing with the seventeen thousand various byproducts its nice to have everything streamlined. And you never have to worry about your entire smelting chain breaking down because one product backed up.

I don't normally bother busing gears because you just don't need that many. The only thing that takes a ton of them is belts, and it's easier to just set up a separate area for that if you don't have enough iron bus capacity.

You can lock slots to an item in the train storage like you can with your inventory . E: Oh I think I misunderstood, you're already doing that but it's an inserter problem. I have no solution

The amount of space you save in coal vs plastic is never going to outweigh the annoyance of having to turn it into useful plastic on site every time.

It sure has meaning when you're playing with another player and you're both setting up tracks on opposite sides of the base and then whoops they're going in opposite directions.

I like the way pyanodons handles it. Coal has a ton more products and can be refined further to remain useful late game and you pretty much always need it, so setting up coal infrastructure doesn't feel like a waste.

KillHour posted:Yeah I'm playing with all default settings (except research queue enabled, obvs), all pY mods enabled (including alien life) and no other mods except FNEI. A later patch added a less efficient bullet recipe for iron, so it's probably a little less painful now. Although if you keep going until the endgame you're probably going to want to turn biters and pollution off for performance reasons.

Mailer posted:I tried literally one game of K2 and noped out of it before I reached the third science type. I was just looking for more to unlock - more efficient power, alternate recipes, better fluid handling, stuff to both handle and require megabase scaling, etc - but all it really did was add many more hours of intermediate machines in between science hurdles. Slowing down the early game also increases the amount of time you spend manually crafting/feeding and that's already a part of it I wish you could skip.

So in space exploration, what do you do if you waste the few hundred rocket science you get from nauvis orbit? I randomly researched a few interesting looking technologies and looking at things more critically later I see that I got very lucky that one of them unlocked a component you need to make more rocket science. I don't have a save prior to the research finishing, so how would you progress at that point if you hadn't unlocked that one technology?

Ah nevermind, you do get cooled thermofluid initially from pre space research. I saw the space super cooling tech that unlocks what I guess is a more efficient recipe and didn't find the other one with a quick search. Now I'm even madder that I didn't spend that initial rocket science on robot upgrades!

For the bigger content mods I've taken to playing with biters enabled for the early game, and then getting rid of them via console command when they stop being a challenge and start being an annoyance. You can also turn off pollution at that point too, getting rid of both made a noticeable improvement to lag on a lategame pyanodon multiplayer base.

LonsomeSon posted:Basically it was a choice between expending an incredible amount of generator fuel and building everything in space, or expending a large amount of construction materials to run rockets with cargo capacities that are too loving enormous to easily use mixed, except by feeding them incredibly slowly via logic-controlled inserters. Give me a choice in factorio between paying for something in electricity or something else, and I'm almost always going to pick electricity. When we unlocked delivery cannons I tried setting them up for every resource and immediately drained all the power from our base, that kinda scared me off them and I never bothered going back to them once we unlocked kovarex and expanded our nuclear plant. We do use them for small amounts of stuff like getting nuclear fuel and vulcanite to all the places that need it.

I foolishly set up three unmoduled research servers to make them so I kept getting numbers like 216 unmoduled mechanical facilities each to make enough Compressive and Tensile data when I did my first math pass. It came down to just under 56 each but for the whole setup for just these packs we’re talking over a thousand Speed 3 modules, with some Speed 4s sprinkled in to keep numbers more even.

The one thing I really miss from angelbobs is the overflow/underflow valves. That's 90% of the use cases for pumps, way more convenient to have it as a single entity. That plus the variable sized tanks were really nice.

You should delete all planet surfaces you're not actually building on, if you haven't already, and trim the ones you are. Killing all biters and turning off pollution using console commands will also help.
