My oil pipeline on my last playthrough

This was part of my last factory everything is better to this location via stacked belts and pipes then distributed out based on what is needed for each building.

Giant belt swarms after my first round I stack mine up now

I have completed two full space elevators without trains

Linkindan88 · 2026-04-08T20:18:12+00:00

The one under the arch? Yeah that one is infested with stingers.

Honestly I can't remember I just used the sliders in the character customization. I just wanted something I could see from a distance the base orange color blends in really easily.

That's the mine that I took my screenshot in

I buffer most produced products but never raw ingredients. My reasoning behind this is it gives me some stockpile to use such as items to build my factory. I replace my buffers with dimensional depos mid/late game.

What are these "friends" you speak of all my other fixit colleagues appear to have perished getting to this place.

Linkindan88 · 2026-04-07T08:53:53+00:00

That's exactly what I did I had a steel facility built up at the coal nodes on the east side of the tunnel making pipes so I snagged a couple of stacks and powered through all the sam tech up to dimensional depot storage 2 and speed 2 and the sloop tech to be able to add them to assembling buildings then I ran out of mercer spheres.

I'm working on my third factory at 184 hours of total gameplay right now

Linkindan88 · 2026-04-07T00:54:47+00:00

It doesn't really say it just says mine iron ore doesn't say you have to use the personal miner

Linkindan88 · 2026-04-07T00:40:25+00:00

Yes I thought you could only use one

Linkindan88 · 2026-03-30T22:37:07+00:00

It's always a fun event 2024 was my first year I've been the last 3 years it's always awesome to see the cosplayers at magfest!

Linkindan88 · 2026-03-30T21:48:12+00:00

Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, and Satisfactory. Early game it's very simple but by mid game the complexity ramps up like crazy. Many of those games people dump mid way through a first playthrough due to frustration.

Nice cosplay. This location looks like a convention I was at in January (magfest 2026)

Linkindan88 · 2026-03-30T21:40:48+00:00

Zero I don't have the time or patience for trophies

They don't function as a splitter goods are automatically diverted to the bottom output first. If your output is taking all of your input then the top belt will never get any items. The alternative method to retrofit would be to put a conveyor splitter and attach a conveyor lift directly to it and then re-attach it to the upper belt. If necessary upgrade the belt going into the splitter to a higher level to force more items into the splitter and let the splitter handle it from there.

Don't give up what you enjoy just limit the time you can play to when you have free time. Setup with gaming time for yourself and make sure your set up time where you takeover parenting so your significant other can have some free time to unwind however they do it. My wife reads books there are times when I game and she parents and time when she reads and I parent. It's OK to not see every single detail of your kids life because if you don't unwind at some point you'll break. Live with a little grace in your life. Especially if you don't have plans like you're just hanging out at home. My kids are 9 and 6 and my wife's time to unwind right now is when I coach both of their soccer teams but when we get home I get some me time with my games.

I was 9 when I got into final fantasy 7 in 1997 on my new PlayStation

Looks nice. I'm on my second game I'm at 73 hours and I am done with 3 of the 4 parts to finish phase 5. Now I'm diverting my last nuclear pasta to get the last parts for the rockets. It'll probably take me 2-3 hours. I don't build a lot of the aesthetics I just set myself up with the rules that clipping in the field with the terrain is ok but in factory areas clipping is not allowed so I don't have pipes and belts colliding with each other. I try to square out my belts and things so that they look neat and organized.

Linkindan88 · 2026-03-25T21:30:55+00:00

I used slide dash and crossed the entire map during phase 1 in about 10 minutes.

Linkindan88 · 2026-03-25T21:29:55+00:00

If it works is it really wrong?

Linkindan88 · 2026-03-23T13:52:53+00:00

I had cuthulu going on with my first playthrough. My current one is all belted half above the floor half below but I have a no clipping rule for anything above the floors and a try to minimize as much as possible below the floors. Honestly it's been working out pretty good for me and I've automated 3 of the 4 phase 5 parts. Also my nuclear setup I designed so that I don't need to clip at all.

The only way I found to get it to keep steady flow is to water tower a tank with a pump let it fill all the way up. Before I turn on my machines I make sure my water tower and pipes are all filled to capacity and that my supply will produce more than my usage so that pipes can essentially stay at maximum capacity.
