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?

totalnewbie posted:I'm a cheater and find this whole mucking about with oil thing to be stupid because of how oil is laid out and how quickly it goes down to 0 and how much of a PITA it is to transport oil a long distance etc. so I just turn each oil spot up to ridiculous yields and have like, 4 derricks fueling my entire empire. Adding the Tank Wagon mod did the same for me. Shipping oil in barrels was too much to bother with, pumping it into and out of tank cars I can set it and forget it.

Well a joule is a Watt-second, right? So it's 3.6 megajoules to a kilowatt hour, or 3.6 gigajoules to a megawatt-hour Ed: ah, screw it. Per Google, you need 25 fully charged accumulators per MW of demand to last the night. Or 21 accumulators for each 25 solar panels ZekeNY fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Feb 21, 2017 |

Dr. Stab posted:I would like lazy bastard a lot more if it didn't require you to spend so much longer in the early game. Having one miner and one assembly machine that you switch between tasks is just a more painful version of handcrafting. It would be a lot more fun if there was a 0 technology assembly machine that could craft assembly machines and miner drills, rather than having to wait for assembly machine 2s before you can start the game for real. I liked doing Lazy Bastard once, but I wouldn't try it again. It was fun playing through the very, very slow takeoff from hand-mining through full automation, but after doing that I feel no need to do it again. I wound up using an Accelerated Start mod in .14, and will probably use something like it again before too long.

Impermanent posted:is there a mod that adds a chance for products to come out malformed? It'd be interesting to automate QA. That'd be a good one. Or make R&D probabilistic - all you know about a tech is the packs required and the level of difficulty, time to complete is random. It'd drive me mad!

Ghost of Starman posted:I have to wonder if I tweaked one of the variables the wrong way - I would expect that turning the "Evolution -> Time Factor" slider down would slow the rate at which enemies grow and unlock more advanced units, but maybe I hosed up. I think I also tweaked the "Minimum" and "Maximum cooldown" under "Enemy Expansion" - but again, aiming to slow my enemy growth rate. Laser turret creep is very satisfying

Gwyneth Palpate posted:With regards to logistics bots nerfs, I feel like it's important that any nerf so levied would never apply to construction bots. Construction bots are just too drat useful and don't detract from a different "style" of gameplay. The construction bot achievement is called "you're doing it right", so you'd think that they'd want to encourage that style.

drunken officeparty posted:I bought this months ago and just yesterday got around to playing. I think I might be retarded because my poo poo is so inefficient it's not even funny. I spent like 3 hours loving around on level 2 of the campaign before realizing all the broken train tracks and stuff that were already there might have been useful and I shouldn't have just demolished everything. The best Factorio advice I ever got was to ditch the campaign and jump straight in to the free form game.

M_Gargantua posted:I've recently been having a lot of fun with the Texugo TA miners mod. Much quicker to set up one of them at an outpost rather than dealing with a mass of miners and belts. I wouldn't say Warehousing is a required mod but highly recommended to use in conjunction. The biggest one sucks up a 50x50 box of ore and can pump out four continuous blue belts of ore. Thanks for mentioning the TA miner mod, that's exactly what I needed to get over the tedium of setting up yet another mining outpost.

I’m finding the huge biter nests tedious to clean out, even with artillery. I see a couple of nuclear artillery mods available, have any of you tried them?
