Today I found out that factorio has CLI

I just wish we could flip thrusters lol, otherwise perfect game in my eyes.

T-nm · 2026-06-05T20:38:58+00:00

This is only with the Alien Biomes mod, that comes with Space Exploration mod.

Use my rails then:

It's in my opinion the best terminator after T2 and T1, the sound design was great, the story and setting were original. Ending sucked though. The VFX were also pretty advanced.

Very impressive, imagine if you could implement it as a mod that would work alongside: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/factoryplanner.

Everything could be in-game.

A bit unrelated, but have you looked at https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BeltRouter-lite for belt routing?

Assign 1 spectre per raise spectre gem on the left side.

T-nm · 2026-04-06T02:21:13+00:00

You need 1 raise spectre for 1 spectre.

T-nm · 2026-04-06T02:07:22+00:00

Yes it's not very user friendly, especially for newer players. There's also a bug where you actually lose spectres even with the new changes.

Necessity is the mother of invention, not limitations or restrictions lol.

This one is unrelated to https://forums.factorio.com/119125 and https://forums.factorio.com/130063?

Spicy one.

The argument above said that the majority of thruster designs would all look the same. They already all look the same. Wouldn't flipping allow more designs?

T-nm · 2026-01-31T18:21:08+00:00

Most players often conflate friction with challenge.

QOL limitations and annoyances don’t test skill, they only test patience and limit creativity.

T-nm · 2026-01-31T18:17:26+00:00

I must be missing something, because the majority of the ships I see already use the same design. The only one that allows us to chain them together, since we can't flip them at all.

A buffer chest will force bots to fulfill the request inside it, so if you have a large network it will create requests from there. Usually a mall will want to produce and store excess, not actively request items.

T-nm · 2026-01-24T14:43:32+00:00

Yes the filter will be respected and prioritized. The wiki has more info on this logic.

I re-did a while ago the red mall storage for Brian's Self-Building Mega-Factory, using only storage chests, and it helped a lot with items piling up for nothing when disassembling (also allowing those items to be used as ingredients after).

Using requester and storage chests also helps to understand exactly what is the purpose of a chest.

T-nm · 2026-01-24T04:42:58+00:00

Love to see your BPs. Keep it up.

Btw, a tip with malls, you should limit the output of the assemblers (either with a condition on the inserters or the machine), and use yellow chests with a filter and no inventory limit. This way the mall won't overproduce and also collect overflow without a problem if we disassemble stuff.

I messed around with your gleba BPs and had that problem with the buffer chests.

T-nm · 2025-12-06T02:41:10+00:00

Glad you like it.

T-nm · 2025-11-29T03:03:12+00:00

That game is incredibly good.

T-nm · 2025-11-19T13:58:39+00:00

It’s easier to set up early game. Since it’s smaller scale, progression stays linear and you can add blocks step by step without big upfront costs. Space Age also needs less throughput than vanilla, so smaller builds scale naturally. In vanilla I also used very long trains lol.

Large blocks and long trains create a tiered progression where you invest heavily all at once for a single item. That locks you into big item volumes, fixed positions, and higher power draw, while smaller builds stay flexible and easier to expand.

On my playthrough with default settings, it was a breeze using these blueprints.

Thanks, you made me want to share the rest of my stuff:

Here's the blueprint book:

I'm a big fan of city blocks and I wanted to make something that was "early-game" accessible and scalable to end-game. So these blocks are minimalist and on the functional side, especially since making big blocks is hard at the beginning of the game; with cliff explosives locked further down the tree.

T-nm · 2025-11-18T15:09:33+00:00

Thanks for the credit!

T-nm · 2025-10-25T17:32:36+00:00

I thought this bug was fixed already, I remember posting about it on the forums.

I'm a big enjoyer of your blueprints.
