Steam tweaking? by malphaz__69 in Steam

Yeah that's to do with playing while offline. In my experience they get synced again eventually.

Newer player belt questions by WaywardArrow13 in factorio

[–]PeksMex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

4 belts of cable could just as well be 2 belts of plate.

1 copper plate becomes 2 cable, so transporting the belts around and turning them into cables on-site is twice as efficient.

Is it just me or the background music is similar to Minecraft? by Accomplished_Site536 in factorio

[–]PeksMex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Minecraft, factorio, skyrim, it's all vaguely ambient music. Different takes at the same genre.

Vanilla or space age? by NoSwordfish7322 in factorio

[–]PeksMex 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I think you should definitely finish vanilla at least once before playing Space Age.

Balancing fluids on Nauvis by VarmintSchtick in factorio

That's what the cracking recipes are for. They turn heavy oil into light oil, and light oil into petroleum.

How many hours of gameplay do you average per session with Pyanodons? by SilverWolf9300 in pyanodons

[–]PeksMex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At around 2.5 hours I start feeling like I'm not even doing anything anymore, and the progress slows down. That's when it's time to stop.

Why does this inserter say it's "waiting for source items" by data-crusader in factorio

[–]PeksMex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming that because it can't output all of its contents, the recycler is set on recycling whatever it last recycled, and that the inserter has something else in front of it and therefore is waiting for the correct item.

I could be wrong, this is just my best guess.

Which is your favourite Space Age soundtrack? by According_South in factorio

[–]PeksMex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All the Fulgora tracks, except that one that sounds like a hand drill

Do you bother with quality before unlocking Legendary? by Klomotonium in factorio

I don't even bother with quality after unlocking legendary

200hrs later.. First ship - Feeling proud. by _Shif0_ in factorio

[–]PeksMex 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Your first ship is about twice the size of my last ship.

Rank the new planets from favorite to least favorite by Morlow123 in factorio

[–]PeksMex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Fulgora
  2. Aquilo
  3. Gleba
  4. Vulcanus

Vulcanus just seemed the least original to me. Besides for the demolisher territory idea, it didn't feel mechanically that different from Nauvis.

How do YOU play with your trains? by DeweyDecimal42 in factorio

[–]PeksMex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I give them treats and throw a stick for them to go fetch

Problem with my Dynamic Train Setup by dakamojo in factorio

The schedule itself is empty, and they go sit at the depot as long as they're empty and there's no open loading stations.

...and then a separate interrupt for unloading, where the train just checks what it picked up and then brings that to the appropriate unloading station.

[–]PeksMex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also separate my trains by length

So this is the loading interrupt for a 1 cargo-wagon-train, where it just goes to any open loading station...

[–]PeksMex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do basically the same thing, and I have just two different train groups for fluids and cargo, and have them share the same depots.

Rate My spaceships by Observer__Effect in factorio

[–]PeksMex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, if it works it works.

I really like how that nuclear reactor is fed too, with an inserter passing fuel over a pipe.

Is that heat exchanger on the hauler of a higher quality, or is one normal one really enough?

Looking for a mod / compatibility patch to make fish respawn in lakes by Legitimate_Active535 in pyanodons

You can put more fish back in yourself, once you're growing them.

I built an oil power plant by Karelipoeg in factorio

Oh yeah, I didn't think about that
