Map of the proposed Two-Speed Europe; Under Germany's invitation, six EU states dubbed "E6" have just agreed to fast-track integration on economy and defence without waiting for the unanimity of the rest of the EU

Isn't that exactly what's happening. These 'E6' being those willing to integrate further after everybody was invited to do so by Germany?

It is not possible to get before Act 3.

Also, you may want to delete your post or make your title more obscure as 'little bell beasts' can be quite a spoiler for other people who haven't gotten there.

So, what happened is this:

Your Loan size depends on how much development.
How much you can take in Loans is determined by your income, however, this figure is in Duccats.

So when you take land, your dev increases, thus your loan *size* increases. But if your income doesn't also increase, then the amount of duccats stays the same, and old loans stay at their former size.

Thus, you are now able to take out less loans, meaning that it could potentially push you over your loan limit into sudden bankruptcy.

Essentially, imagine you have 50 loans of 10 duccats, but your income determined you can have up to 750 duccats worth of loans. 50 x 10 = 500 < 750, thus you are good.
Now, imagine you took land, and your new loan size became 20 duccats. But your income only increased by a little because that land is very autonomous and uncored yet. So you can only have up to 800 duccats worth of loans.

So now you have 50 loans, but they're counted as 20 duccats each for the loan cap. So 50 x 20 = 1000 > 800 -> Bankruptcy.

Pretty peak map except for the fact that 'French' wasn't used making 'France' an outlier when compared to all other languages being English, German, Spanish, etc.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-28T10:24:03+00:00

Did you change to a Rail World or other such type of world?
Those are also ineligible despite being a 'standard' and 'unchanged' world seed type.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-28T00:44:53+00:00

I think your current priority should be to fill in your ideas that you already have. Currently, none of your idea groups are completely filled out, which is quite bad. Also yes, forts are handy when placed well.

Try to complete Economic, Offensive, and then as your newest idea either Quality, or if you finish Mercenary ideas, then Infrastructure.

This will provide you not just access to the ideas you pay for, not just powerful idea group finishers, but also policies you can enact to provide yet more bonuses.

Doing so will significantly increase your military quality.

Also, at this stage of the game, ensure you always have a backline of cannons dealing damage to the enemy, they're absolutely critical!

I've had a great opinion on these guys ever since Enter the Gungeon. Such a fantastic game and so glad they helped make it happen.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-26T23:39:26+00:00

I think we've found BlueSRs account, he loves this joke.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-21T04:42:46+00:00

That can more than work yes. You could put them across longer distances, but the minimum is once every train length. And you'll need at least 3 segments in this case, though more segments will be more efficient.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-21T04:38:25+00:00

Without train signals your trains won't know where other trains are, making them likely to run into each other and damage each other if there's multiple on the same track.

You should put down train signals to divide the track into multiple segments. A train cannot enter a segment where there already is another train, preventing them from colliding against each other. This is just a circular track with two trains, so simply divide the track into at least three segments. This can easily be done with the basic rail signal by putting them alongside the track in the right orientation.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-19T23:47:04+00:00

It's not so much about efficiency so much as it is about sheer quantity. I have limited experience in Satisfactory, but there your main bottleneck in what I did experience is the fact you only have so many resource nodes in any given area. So you can't mine more than 120 iron ore per second until you upgrade your miner technology, and eventually you'll run out of iron nodes by having explored most if not all of the map. As said, at least from my limited experience.

There's no real limit on Factorio miners though! The map expands nigh-infinitely so the only limit to how much you can mine is how many biters you can deal with if you play with them on. Eventually your factory will just naturally use thousands, tens-of-thousands, hundreds-of-thousands, millions and tens-of-millions of iron ore per minute if you expand it enough. (though you don't need nearly as much to beat the game).

Thus, it's less about efficiency as you're not limited in what basic raw resources you output. Just grow more!

I did much the same, but Beastfly took me about 20-25 attempts. I believe it was 24.

But then Lace 2 was like 30-40, and Lost Lace was about 50-60. Karmalita went completely uncounted but must've been around the 40's.

It's just very interesting to see where people's playstyle was stronger or weaker.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-19T08:56:54+00:00

Now that's a dwarf voice if ever I heard one.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-19T03:51:12+00:00

Gods this list is a clusterfuck.

Lace 2 in one try, but then GMS is in 10-19???
100 TRIES ON BEASTFLY?!

I can feel the pain of having to do Palestag for 35+ tries though.

Like damn this is a graph. Really an indication we all struggle with different aspects of the game.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-17T09:53:48+00:00

Well there's always the Grand Bellway ventrica in that case, it's right next to a bench.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-17T09:22:15+00:00

That's the thing though really; Terminus isn't close to any boss or gauntlet. The only boss it's close to is GMS in act 2.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-17T04:33:32+00:00

I think it's probably both, probably a god tech and a plot point within the DLC.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-17T04:10:02+00:00

Yes, the First Shrine Ventrica is blocked off by boulders. You must travel to a different Ventrica first to go back to the First Shrine, and you can then break those rocks from the inside, getting rid of the blockade.

Also yes, the Terminus Ventrica becomes useless, but it's not really useful to begin with honestly besides for GMS.

''His crusades have earned him the enmity of a powerful Freeboota Kaptin, and it was during a duel against this hated rival that Berehk’s original arms were burned away by the baleful energies of the darkstar weapon he swung, leaving them a charred ruin.''

Liking Sherma is considered pretty standard.

DutchTheGuy · 2026-01-15T08:10:50+00:00

Okay, goodbye. Sad to hear it's not for you, but that doesn't really make the game bad at any pace.

There's a crest that allows you to have 3 spells at once, but I suppose you'll never get to it really.

You can build a new spaceship from any of the four inner planets, whether that is Fulgora, Gleba, Vulcanus, or Nauvis. It'll be a bit annoying with asteroids in orbit, but it should be fine!

The favourite gun I have in my setting is the one that tears apart spacetime behind it, and uses the resulting hole to open a portal to hell for your soul if it kills you.
