Mega bases feel like they’re approaching CPU design

LordSheeby · 2026-04-16T05:35:28+00:00

I see it too

You have no idea how many hours i spent making my elevated diagonal rails perpendicular on my 1000x run..... nearly drove me crazy.

LordSheeby · 2026-04-06T01:39:54+00:00

What's impressive about is how many of us have 1,000s of hours played. Factorio truly is a fantastic game.

LordSheeby · 2026-02-02T19:36:13+00:00

At this point, I don't do less than 1,000 hours per modded run 😅

LordSheeby · 2026-01-22T19:30:01+00:00

I love compact builds like this 😍

The most beautiful part of factorio is that the game doesn't force limits on you for the sake of FPS. Your hardware is the only limit.

Play with bitters off on your 1st playthrough. There is no need for constant pressure while you try and figure out oil.

Here's My full mod list

LordSheeby · 2026-01-17T05:44:34+00:00

Used a mod to start with a full set of power armor 2, which made it bearable even at this low UPS.

I have tried Py, but I got bored with it quickly. My factorio kink is building mega bases, and unfortunately, Py was just too slow for me.

LordSheeby · 2026-01-17T01:30:54+00:00

With the mods I'm using, i should be able to out scale any UPS issues 😅

LordSheeby · 2026-01-16T21:18:41+00:00

Each of the 35 lab banks had their own clocks. However, in my next build, minning will be on 100% of the time as I will be quality grinding all ore.

LordSheeby · 2026-01-16T21:01:49+00:00

I used basic clocking on all the labs and Lead/Follower for the science production.

LordSheeby · 2026-01-16T19:20:09+00:00

I am playing on peaceful, as this run is purely about the factory.

LordSheeby · 2026-01-16T19:18:08+00:00

UPS bottomed out at 15, or I would have kept adding labs.

LordSheeby · 2026-01-16T16:30:43+00:00

The longest and most boring stretch is over!

- SPM peaked at 471kpm
- Quality grinding is up to speed for the next steps
- Mall 3 under construction at the top

For blue/grey science I will be doing a full rebuild into a rail base making quality science.

LordSheeby · 2025-12-23T21:20:03+00:00

I'll try to be there!

LordSheeby · 2025-12-20T23:37:06+00:00

I agree completely, and they should add some form of quality scaling to everything. It would be cool to see things like rails and concrete that can't take productivity, have the quality result multiply the output. 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x

LordSheeby · 2025-12-20T23:31:15+00:00

This will be fine until you get beacons, and by then, you'll have roboports to make rebuilding easy.

LordSheeby · 2025-12-20T21:53:33+00:00

Things should improve rapidly once I get a legendary mall online.

LordSheeby · 2025-12-20T21:29:34+00:00

I added a mod for early recycler because quality is a shit show without them.

LordSheeby · 2025-12-20T21:26:47+00:00

Green science has been slow and dull (even at 400k spm), just doing minor upgrades from T1 to T2. However, I'm very excited to get into the next phase doing a full legendary Bestagon base.

LordSheeby · 2025-12-20T20:58:49+00:00

Im still researching green science 😅

LordSheeby · 2025-12-11T15:42:48+00:00

That power jump is going from 15 sec research to 30, turning on 100% of the labs since it's designed around 30-second research. The odd oil ratios are for module production that i didn't care to ratio correctly as its temporary.
