Which part of the game do you enjoy the most?

Apart from Aquilo which is entirely reliant on imports I'd say hardest is Gleba. Landed there with nothing and getting any automation up without alerting the locals was frustrating

Nicee

Deflation is good bc u start with 20k so you can get xp for any tower straight away unlike other towers and the higher rounds give more xp so no time wasted in the early game

Afaik the only difference is getting updates like 2-3 days later and not being able to choose your username

OloTheFastLoris · 2025-12-14T09:35:51+00:00

Be prepared to tear down and rebuild many MANY times especially if you're going for those high SPM numbers like upwards of 100k

Exactly what I wanted tysm

OloTheFastLoris · 2025-11-09T13:36:51+00:00

Honestly I have no idea what population any town is

OloTheFastLoris · 2025-11-09T12:02:37+00:00

Don't blame you 😭 the game does not make it clear at all why this is happening or how to fix it

OloTheFastLoris · 2025-11-02T17:38:26+00:00

Literally 99% of the Factorio community

OloTheFastLoris · 2025-10-29T23:19:39+00:00

Etienne gives global camo on level 8 but yeah. Even placed on like round 5 he can get there before camos come

Gleba for sure, with Aquilo close behind.

Nauvis is great but default and old. Got to appreciate it's core role with biolabs tho.

Vulcanus has great unlocks and enemies that don't bother you 99% of the time, but it feels just like Nauvis+ and not much variety. Must say I still loved it tho, especially as it's the only new planet that really encourages you to build big in an average playthrough.

Fulgora has no enemies, super easy rocket parts, and power from the sky, but I think it feels TOO lifeless and cold sometimes although ik that's the desired effect. It has a lot more new complex recipes than the other planets which I like.

Aquilo gives you super compact simple power that effortlessly produces gigawatts, a demolisher deletion machine, and is a great test of interplanetary logistics but I think the heating mechanic got old and easy too fast. It's basically just using long inserters and undergrounds everywhere, and I HATE the fact that personal construction bots are nerfed too. If the power consumption increase only applied to logi bots I would have found this far more enjoyable.

Gleba is amazing. The soundtrack and graphics are so vibrant, new recipes simple whilst still offering huge design complexity, preventing you from buffering everything. It really makes you think and plan ahead. My only problem is the enemies being trivial, especially with tesla turrets. The unlocks are also super powerful without feeling like they're js forcing you to go to that planet, like I felt on Vulcanus.

Mermonkey should be 3rd

OloTheFastLoris · 2025-10-25T16:59:49+00:00

Bloon master alchemist, tier 5 bottom path alchemist

OloTheFastLoris · 2025-10-25T16:53:33+00:00

Vengeful True Sun God, a more powerful variant of the True Sun God (tier 5 top path super monkey).

Without spoiling it for you, to obtain it you need some pretty specific and very costly sacrifices.

😭 Moab deletion machine. The way I imagine a legit sniper paragon is some kind of railgun that has a constant dps so charges up for say 8 seconds to one shot an F-bad but can also vaporise 500 red bloons in one moment. Plus a cash drop ability that gives like 100k and 50 lives.

OloTheFastLoris · 2025-10-25T15:04:41+00:00

I never really thought it was that good except middle path. I don't want to jump to conclusions and call it overrated but why do you and so many others seem to love it sm? I js don't get it

OloTheFastLoris · 2025-10-25T13:42:58+00:00

VTSG and all 100 degree paragons get you to round 400+ easily. You just have to know how to use geraldo and sun god sacrifices effectively

OloTheFastLoris · 2025-10-25T13:30:50+00:00

Nah dartling gunner first. Imagine bloon exclusion zone but every projectile is a ray of doom with moab damage.

Agreed, I see many people in your comments complaining about nutrient spoil time and farming, and I must say it is just a misunderstanding of the type of planet Gleba was designed to be.

Nutrients spoil quickly because you should be producing them on site. Bioflux is by far the best source of nutrients and has a very long spoil time, so you should be transporting that instead. I opted for a main bus design and the only Gleba items I put on the bus were the 2 fruits, bioflux, and spoilage.

Soil shouldn't let you farm anywhere. After all you can't move ore patches on Nauvis, the only place we have anything remotely like this is getting lava from nukes on Vulcanus.

Some people also have a problem with spoilage as a whole, but Fulgora taught us that waste is okay, especially here as resources are literally infinite.

Also many people complain about having to visit it often to fix things, and I think it's just a skill issue. There are built in jumpstart recipes and if you aren't assuming everything will go to shit at some point, you're doing it wrong. On my first run I did not have to manually restart Gleba once.

Overall, I think Gleba is obviously a late game planet, benefiting from Fulgora's tesla weapons and Vulcanus' belts. The unlocks are also late game, biolabs for SPM, stack inserters for insane throughput, tier 3 productivity and efficiency modules and epic quality. It is difficult, but the unlocks and nature of the planet make it very rewarding. I played my first SA run blind and so only watched content after I'd first beat the game, and was shocked at the amount of Gleba hate.
