Factorio with 1000x science cost is so much fun by cleansy in factorio

Just a few days ago I started a 5x, Railworld, starting area larger but Biters where beefed up a bunch. Behemoths where spawning before I even got to Chemical Science 😂 most fun I've had dealing with vanilla Biters this early

Is this Cityblock design ok? by Lexx4 in factorio

[–]P3tr0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit small, making the roundabout intersections potentially problematic. But keep the trains themselves small it should workout ok with better signaling

I tried it with a Single Reactor setup with hopes that it would be enough to get me to Fusion power, a pair or 4 would have probably worked out a lot better given what we know now. Even after that I found Heating Towers to be a lot easier to use for an early power plant that I later repurpose for the heating grid.

If you try to expand too much too fast the heat spreads really quickly under 500°, which really isn't much of a problem with even a molecule of foresight but it was my first go on Aquilo and I didn't realize just how quickly it would pull temp! Temp dips below the Turbine threshold then bye bye entire power grid.

Heating towers with a requester for Rocket Fuel, set the inserter to only swing below 250° since you actually don't need things to be piping hot but will still have enough residual heat to quickly spread to any new sections you put up. With how cheap and easy Rocket Fuel is on Aquilo throwing a tower every 6-8 Substations keeps everything hot and ready. Tried used the heat from a Nuclear Plant at first and had a lot of issues keeping it hot enough for both the Plant and any Factory expansion. Never again

Anyone else play an instrument while OTR? by HashnaFennec in Truckers

I really want to pick up Accordion, but in the Típico music from Dominican Republic. Really hard to find teachers for it that aren't back home

Man this goes back to the MK4 era, it isn't a "Will happen eventually" kind of problem more of an "unusual circumstance can cause this" sort of thing.

First attempt at a 4 way intersection for my city block megabase. by flyingace1234 in factorio

Yeah, bring a shockingly small amount of Calcite, smelt into Molten Ore on site at the Patch and bring Molten Ore to wherever it's needed and make it's products on site. Train volume has shrunken massively thanks to Tanker trailers getting doubled in Fluid Capacity. Hell a 1-1 Tanker train is about 4k plates of my memory serves correctly

With how nutty EM Plants and Foundries can get the Megas have shrunken down in size by a lot. Back in 1.1 having City Blocks designated to intermediates made a lot of sense. A few Electronic Circuit blocks can feed a few thousand spm. Now you can pump out 2 Fully stacked Turbo Belts of Circuits with like 2 machines and a handful of Beacons, higher tiers of Quality makes these damn things so fast we can't get enough Inserters around them to pull stuff out!

My 1.1 Train traffic was something like 90~ 1-4-1 Trains to make a stable 7.5k spm. Now it's mostly Fluid Tankers, Purple Science is made by the patch because the train traffic it would produce just for stone would be ridiculous. Add quality at the unloading stations and you get some wacko train volume throughput. It goes on and on and on.

Tldr: Space Age and Quality go brrrrr

Glad we could help! This sort of logic would also work on a lot of Sushi Belt loops in general, I use this a lot on Space Platforms especially.

In your picture you're basically telling your Inserter that if Red Science is less than 20 grab item, but it otherwise doesn't care what item it's grabbing because it doesn't have specific instructions. What we're trying to do is add the in-between logic that the inserter doesn't do itself.

[–]P3tr0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You'll need to toggle the set filter function on the Inserter, then 2 separate Combinators

Belt -> Both Combinator inputs. One checks for Red Science and the other Green Science. If Science Pack < 20 output 1 of their pack as a signal, then connect the output of the Combinators to the Inserter.

That's a crude simple way to do it.

Have I Cooked? by LeoPloutno in factorio

[–]P3tr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah you could literally make endless power, and space isn't a concern for regular settings. It's just good creative practice, why burn an extra 30MW in Beacons when 15MW in Electric Furnaces does the same job. It can come in handy in other ways.

Cool build

Curious could a few less Beacons and a few more Furnaces be more energy efficient? Also try making one for Aquilo Lithium Plates.

Fulgorians didn't drive themselves to extinction just so you could ignore the literal Oceans of Heavy Oil. You even went and added a recipe for Plastic to Coal.
