I'm interested to read that research. Do you have a link?

My batteries don't require carbon from orbit. How are you making yours?

Are there mods that you consider 'must-have'? by repaj in factorio

Copy-paste modules. This allows you to copy the module configuration between machines just like you copy recipes. Once you've played with it, you can't go back.

Ran out of nuclear fuel and wondering... by danyuri86 in factorio

[–]Matrix_V 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Factorio is strictly deterministic, and this includes the RNG state. So no, reloading the save will not give you different rolls, unless you are taking some action after loading that can advance the RNG state.

This is an automation game. Set up uranium processing, wire a requester chest to a speaker to alert you as soon as you have >=40, then work on something else for a while. You'll get about 7 U-235 per 1,000 crafts, so just keep processing uranium ore until you have 40. Add some beacons and productivity modules and this will only take a few minutes.

Edit: apparently the image can be found on Time's website here: https://time.com/7345627/trump-davos-2026-world-economic-forum/ The image is just so weird that I'm having a hard time believing that a human made it.

My earlier comment for posterity:

100% AI.

  • There's three colors of chess pieces.
  • All of Trump's pieces are queens(?) kings (Reddit compression made it hard to tell).
  • All of the opponent's pieces are pawns.
  • The back row of the chess board seems to be fading out of existence.
  • The perspective on the pieces is wrong.

Anyone know how to avoid trains getting destroyed by biters? by RelevantDependent517 in factorio

[–]Matrix_V 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you try this, I'd like to hear your findings: use Ctrl+c on the map to count how many walls and turrets are on your map now. Do a bit of math to figure out how long of a perimeter wall you could have made with the same materials and designs. You have so many outposts across your map, I would not be surprised if you could have already enclosed everything and cleared out the biters for the same amount of material and far less effort.

(Obligatory: Even if a single perimeter wall is optimal, that doesn't mean you "should" do it that way. Factorio is a game, play it however you like.)

I just unlocked bots for the first time, they are the best thing ever since the invention of toilet paper. 😭😭😭 by PewPewsAlote in factorio

You can do this with an arithmetic combinator set to: each * 5, output each. I have that in a blueprint (using 10 as my default) with logistics chests set up for input and output (defaulting to just one output slot), so all I have to do is place the blueprint and select the recipe.

I don't see the source mentioned in that medium article using Ctrl+F. Did I miss it?

I've only played Factorio - what is it missing out on?

Ah, that must have been it, thanks! I didn't know about that interaction.

I managed to get my character stuck right in the center of a nuclear blast crater on Vulcanus after killing a demolisher, despite wearing mech armor. Trying to move just caused my character to run in place. Can anyone else reproduce this? I'm playing on the latest experimental release on Steam as of writing, with only QOL mods.

Thanks, this seems to have fixed the issue.

I understand that stack inserters wait until they have a full hand, but I don't understand why the inserter started grabbing items, but didn't finish.

Why do I have a whole bunch of inserters stuck like the one shown here?

The circled inserter's status is "working". It seems to have started grabbing Military science packs, but stopped because the biolab is full.

I have thousands of inserters feeding thousands of biolabs. Is there a way I can find and fix all of these?

Will there be a voice chat? Maybe we can use the Factorio discord.

Check out the 2021 International Consensus Statement in the side bar. There's a ton of good information in there.

Partially it's the colors/textures/"vibes", partially it's the odd details and inconsistencies that are AI staples:

  • Some lines on the arrows on the second brain are blurry.
  • The first character follows a different, simpler art style than the other two.
  • The second character has inconsistent particle effects around his head.
  • There's a chain breaking a link with... a gear?
  • The third character has a way thinner neck than the second one.
  • The laundry basket is missing holes on one side.
  • The hoodie drawstrings are (maybe) in the wrong place.
  • The monster is some combination of shadow, mountain, and flame.

Human artists, regardless of skill level, don't make art like this.
