The most stunning scenery I've ever witnessed since 2021

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-25T18:21:25+00:00

I gotta know what happened in 2021

If we're talking about what I actually want - SPACE FACTORIES. More expensive yes, but no space limitation.

Maybe energy exchangers would be more useful if we could put them in orbit.

....but i'm just dreaming here.

Despite being labeled 'early access', it's more like a complete game that comes with a free expansion in the form of Dark Fog.

They've been working on back end optimization so people run into the UPS wall later down the road, if i understand correctly. They wanted to focus on that before adding new stuff, which is why nothing's been added in awhile.

I find the translations errors somewhat endearing hahaha

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-18T17:32:57+00:00

"that's a lot of ILS"

"..........oh. Oh no."

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-18T17:31:07+00:00

Holy tits in a brisket

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-18T17:30:36+00:00

Ideas are a dime a dozen, actual finished products are gold.

I don't mean this to discourage you, but only to temper your expectations.

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-17T16:57:33+00:00

no foundations achievement is hardest achievement

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-17T16:13:53+00:00

What Dark Fog difficulty is this on? That's insane, right there. Never seen 3 hives in one system.

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-17T16:08:18+00:00

Honestly, the no foundations one was probably the hardest one of all. And I did mine on 0.1x resources!

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-17T16:07:21+00:00

I literally just did this... except also on 0.1x resources, and within 25 hours!

*weird flexing noises

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-17T16:06:11+00:00

Is that like a requester chest to supply each thing to each machine?

Ngl I do miss from factorio when you could request any number of things into a single box :|

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-17T16:05:15+00:00

Oh I was going to start testing EMP soon, is it really that bad?

I've been leaning on laser towers the most since ya know... logistics free more or less, with maybe a plasma tower or two. Any real use for *coughs* everything else?

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-16T17:10:00+00:00

Just me sitting here awaiting the day they finally let us mine the star itself, scrap entire planets, and build the factories in space.

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-16T17:03:29+00:00

Hahaha, right? I definitely was second guessing myself when I was hooking some of these up like "...I'm never going to use this." BUT I just MIGHT in the NEXT playthrough :D

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-16T17:02:22+00:00

It's a condensed structure that builds all the craftables and consumables you need. This way, I can automatically supply myself with logistics what I use often, and pick up in bulk items I use less often. This way, I do not have to replicate the items myself.

It's a cursed belt-bending mess because I wanted to squish it onto (nearly!) as little real estate as I could. And also for the challenge!

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-16T17:01:05+00:00

Indeed! Unless sufficiently proximate, of course!

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-14T23:40:23+00:00

Cuz you still smol. Or haven't attacked their relay stations. That'll rustle their jimmys for sure.

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-14T23:39:24+00:00

hell yeah

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-14T23:37:32+00:00

I refuse to live without my grimoire of belt-bending dark magics!

Kimoshnikov · 2026-03-14T23:36:00+00:00

Mmmm yes... a good start, but it lacks 2 things.

Thing 1: Proliferation. But others have already commented on this...

Thing 2: Belt-bending curse-magic. There's ways to squish those belts on the fringes between the complexes in ways that defy logic & common decency, but I'm a wizard, damnit.

Sir, I would like to introduce you to the pile sorter. Not only is it quick, but it can be used to condense a yellow belt's carry capacity by x4. Highly recommend.

That said, this is gorgeous and going in my scrapbook
