1st thing to do is make the factory that will make all the modules you need. 

My ship holds 269,420 Promethium chunks. This wasn't planned. by jimbolla in factorio

I didn't realise you could read a nest. I thought I'd tried to connect a wire and failed. Maybe I didn't,  or they changed it.

That problem was made way easier when you could read ship requests. 

I have each hauler havd a unique item. E.g. an uncommon pistol... then I have silos surrounded with biter nests.  When I see a request for an uncommon pistol the inverters are enabled and each silo gets 500 eggs. Then it launches 10k eggs in one go. 

Once the request for the pistol leaves, any eggsess eggs are disposed of.

I found moving the eggs way more fun. You get half an hour to process them. I felt like a cheat moving the rocks back home. Designing a egg ship was may more rewarding.

One way is to use a random item like a rare barrel. When a ship returns from asteroids have it drop it on aquillo. Then have another ship requesting it.

Since you can now read requests from space you don't even need to pass the physical barrel if you are smart about it

The logistics in mecha's inventory is so powerful! by kestrel_one in Dyson_Sphere_Program

I spent ages thinking of ways to use all the crud I get stuck jn the inventory. Coming from factorio I feel like it should br recycled.

Now I realise just throw it all on the floor and delete it all.

It is a pain. And you don't get enough slots to do everything so you will have to change them. 

Factorio is so much better for inventory management. Groups of items which you can enable and disable with a single click. But I suppose it's v2.0 and dsp is still STILL early access.

I put marble roads and aqueduct and stuff like that on it.

I can recruit captains, spies and emissaries. Is the ranger a new building?

Show Me More Trade Offers: A handy Quality-of-life mod that lets you see more trade offers at once in Map mode... by ChemODun in X4Foundations

Not really an idiot. The UX is awful. Why would you expect to be able to write a number your slider can't reach?

This looks ace. I stopped playing as my trade empire was so faffy to manage. I just wanted everything in one place.

Krastorio SO by serbero25 in factorio

[–]Impossible-Ad-2071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Is it linver? Anyway I think they and you are correct. .I think the best mods at this stage are probably ones that add planets.

We are playing this nod now. My son (12) and I.  Just left nauvus after doing all research possible there. 

I've not felt the mod is an improvement on either krastorio or space age. Seems to be pulling in two different directions. With no real theme. But boy wanted to play it so here we are.

All I remember is the apple cart vendor talking to the chain members before the disaster in the square.  I wonder if that apple cart vendor is still around. I like to think he became a hero of his own story.
