LonsomeSon posted:The range on a flamethrower is limited basically only by fuel supply and pressure; while video games seem to have convinced most folks that flamethrowers are short-ranged weapons (and also that 'short-ranged' means 'practically arm's reach'), and it's certainly true that man-portable flamethrowers are fairly limited by comparison, a vehicle- or static-mounted unit could well be capable of terrifying range. According to my understanding, anyway, I'm not a fire-projection technician or anything.  Jesus christ.

Modded Minecraft is badass. Find a curated and pre-assembled mod pack though - it's not worth the effort to assemble your own. It scratches the same mental itch as Factorio.

How do you make the mental adjustment to go from one factory using a standard and lovely bus, to multiple factories connected by trains and poo poo? I get intimidated when scaling up and don't know how to make that transition. Alternatively, how do you go from making boring bus factories to complicated, holy-poo poo-how-does-this-even-work spaghetti factories? I feel like I fall into a rut making busses, and want to break out of that.

Made the mistake of tearing down my entire factory so that I could rebuild it nicer. Now all my assemblers and belts are in neat little chests, and I don't actually have a clear plan for rebuilding nicely ;_;

RyokoTK posted:Yeah but I'm specifically thinking about the early early game, when I just want to plunk down enough to fire one pump's worth of boilers and walk away but I don't want to over-build miners considering I'm doing most/all of it by hand. I go with 1:1 miner:burner. This assumes each burner is connected to the maximum number (2) of boilers, and means that all boilers can work at 100% capacity without running out of coal. You could theoretically scale down the number of miners based on your average power load (e.g. 4 burners at 75% average capacity will need 3 miners), but that's fiddly and annoying, and you'll need the extra coal sooner rather than later as your factory grows.

Gadzuko posted:Most of it is about belts but the conclusion is a pretty definitive "we want to nerf bots". They will either remove the research for increased bot carrying capacity or increase charging time. I would be ok with either or even both tbh but the concept of a "stack belt" sounds pretty great and I would love to see it happen. I agree with their overall premise that belts are much more interesting than bots, I love bots but it just removes all the challenge from the game if you switch to using nothing but bot swarms. Either of these nerfs can be easily worked around simply by building more bots and/or roboports. Adding hitboxes and collision detection to logistics bots might be interesting. It would certainly remove the UPS benefits of bots, and would probably make bots less useful for bulk items.

Finally launched a rocket, netting myself Lazy bastard, Logistic network embargo, Raining bullets, and Steam all the way. Not being able to use logistic bots was surprisingly annoying and meant I had to manually run around keeping pillboxes supplied with ammo, run some nasty belts to ship in materials for rare items, etc. I last played in 0.12 or 0.13, back when the victory condition was to build the rocket defense and the most complicated science pack was blue science. The biggest difference is holy poo poo, you need so much more iron for midgame science. There are also a couple more annoying recipes that require you to ship materials to odd places contrary to the usual 'flow' of resources (think of things like concrete needing iron ore, liquid processing needing iron and coal, ...). Never bothered messing around with nuclear power, only did lovely point-to-point trains for some resources, and massively undersized my bus. Biters are still boring to deal with and way too numerous, even with tanks and artillery. Artillery is fun though. For my next game, I'm torn between either doing a rail-heavy game (maybe with some QOL or other minor mods), or Seablock. What sort of settings are good for a railworld? Is vanilla terrain generation good enough for BIG TRAIN GAME, or is RSO still needed? Also, why aren't there nuclear artillery shells?

Are you close to the tank? The tank is v. good in midgame. Ignore its main cannon; just use its machine gun with red ammo. It shreds bases and biters real good.
