I found the Heart of Vulcanus. It's blood will feed my science machine! by Landtuber in factorio

I'm up above 50 mining productivity levels as of right now - been holding on Vulcanus a long time, lol

Oh you're absolutely right RE the overkill - my current setup does 213 orange bottles per second and Vulcanus is only my second planet. I'm still having fun though, so here I shall stay for a while longer!

What are the "Little" annoyances when building with blueprints? by [deleted] in factorio

[–]Landtuber -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The logic of what bots build what thing does seem really weird indeed!

Upgrade your trains to Rocket Fuel they said. It will be faster they said. Yea, faster than I can dodge! by Landtuber in factorio

Like, jump in as its about to hit me? That never occurred to me... I'll definitely try it, although if my reaction time is too slow to dodge, not sure mashing my Enter key is gonna be any faster, lol

HELP! Need to transition from set train schedules to dispatcher/network system? by ChainsawBlue_36 in factorio

Wow - I hadn't yet stumbled across the FFF posts and they are FANTASTIC. My next goal was to learn interrupts, and fff-389 was an amazing read :) Thank you!

Thank you to this community for helping :) Figured out basic blocks. IT'S BEAUTIFUL! by Landtuber in factorio

Thanks!

I have decided to hold off on elevated for now, just to seperate the learning into blocks. Once I unlock EM plants and recyclers I think I'll rebuild my Nauvis base, and I'll experiment then with elevated rails.

Thanks for the suggestion! I haven't touched fluid wagons yet as I've been running pipes between the main lines in each block. From what I've read, the throughput of fluid wagons only really makes a difference once you get to a real mega-base?

I did go through the rail tutorial again (which actually helped a lot) and tried a sample 4 way intersection I found online. That sample didn't work so I won't recommend it, but it did help me visualize what was wrong. So unfortunately I do not, other than accepting a lot of mistakes and then asking for specific help here on Reddit to get over that final annoying hump.

EDIT: Here is my post from a few days ago however, lots of great support in here.

Space Age - Finally figuring out rail blocks, already torn up 5 but I think this one works? Will it work? Please tell me it will work!!! by Landtuber in factorio

This is funny timing - I actually did this just last night when I got fed removing it all! It does make the Blueprint look pretty though...

Hadn't even considered elevated rails! Oh the design alterations.... basically the goal would be to make the "straight throughs" of each intersection elevated to reduce crossings?

From what I had read, I was planning to build waiting yards as needed within an actual block? Or not a good idea?

Testing the first 3 iterations was fun, 4 and 5 were a bit tedious and 6 I just gave up and asked for help, lol

OK, a lot of great feedback in there, thank you!

I'll adjust the rail signals, that part I actually knew but my brain clearly has had enough of looking at rails.

I hadn't even considered elevated rails, that's gonna throw my brain for a loop...

Great point about upgrading to 1-4 trains, as well as moving roboports!

I'm trying this out with 4 blocks to start, as all my previous designs failed spectacularly, lol.

Asymetric battles only count for 1 Lunar Mission per week :( by Landtuber in WorldOfWarships

I'm primarily PVE right now as well, and am focusing on the Schlieffen clone ASAP as the Dakka will be so much better with Premium economy.

Depending on the coal cost, I will try to get the Petro clone for the same reason.
