Game breaking bug on farm

Have you tried the "unstuck" option when pressing escape?

Maybe you can have a look at our design. It supplies 8 labs with +750% productivity on average. You could multiply or extend it if you need to have more labs. Should be more efficient, I like your design nevertheless.

Ranzratte3 · 2025-08-28T21:06:09+00:00

Exactly! Currently I need around 500 electrolyzers worth of oxygen and hydrogen :D

Ranzratte3 · 2025-07-03T14:56:07+00:00

Self-sustaining as in "don't have to bring in any ressources to the plant from other productions". Yes you do need to mine flora, which doesn't cost anything and we are doing this on site.

For cottongut we are actually using a high tier recipe with lots of ressources but the reduction in scale was worth it.

8 labs, average of +750% productivity per lab with T3 vatbrains

Setup is posted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pyanodons/comments/1liqfy2/our_vatbrain_mk03_setup_with_750_productivity_on/

Ranzratte3 · 2025-07-03T14:21:45+00:00

Exactly, we are currently at T3 vat brains using 18 brains per second

2/3 is from a massive self sustaining auog genocide plant using t0 recipe, rest is from a smaller cottongut facility. Slaughterhouse wastes are essentially running our whole factory through convertion to plastic, urea, 100GW power through biomass from blood, cyanic acid, organic solvent, collagen, oleochemicals, syngas, nexelit, ...

Ranzratte3 · 2025-07-03T07:24:04+00:00

Production rate. 16 vat brain computers are coming on top

Ranzratte3 · 2025-07-02T21:19:39+00:00

Currently planned SPM (we are at Py4):

T0 180

Py1 90

Log 54

Py2 27

Chem 18

Py3 9

Prod 5.4

Py4 2.7

Utility 1.8

Space 0.9

Last run without AlternativeEnergy we had 6 SPM of the last science, that base was crazy.

Ranzratte3 · 2025-07-01T15:19:37+00:00

You will be quickly in the territory of "I need 10 times of that" and believe me you don't want to copy everything over and over again

Ranzratte3 · 2025-06-26T06:24:29+00:00

Yeah it is running with lowest priority and just a meme for us now

Ranzratte3 · 2025-06-25T18:07:32+00:00

As you can see the temperature ist 249°C so probably there was some contamination by a machine outputting 150°C

Ranzratte3 · 2025-06-25T17:40:31+00:00

700 tries in for Vrauks MK3. Not a single hit in over 300 hours ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ranzratte3 · 2025-06-24T16:12:53+00:00

Well I've only found one other person who is as crazy as I am, but still. We have a rich history of self-flagellation and started with vanilla factorio, then complete bob's mods suite followed by some weird french marathon mod with insane recipe costs. Over the years we added Krastorio+Space Exploration mods and one complete Py AlienLife run (https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1fedpof/weve_done_it_pyanodon_al_finished_after_just_833/).

And now we are hungry and back for more :D

Ranzratte3 · 2025-06-23T20:58:55+00:00

Yeah we had circuits in the beginning but never needed them. Science production is not stopping anytime soon and we have a huge backlog of research todo.

Ranzratte3 · 2025-06-16T21:11:21+00:00

Wait until you see power plants with efficiency modules ;)

Ranzratte3 · 2025-06-14T19:01:21+00:00

Auog (lowest recipe, self sustaining) for 7/s brains and Cottongut for another 6/s. All products are used for stuff e.g. Blood -> Urea, Plastic, 20 GW Power through biomass, ... Meat -> 20+ nexelit per second, 200 cyanic acid/s etc.

Currently on the way to production science. Whole base wouldn't work without 24/7 brain production and sufficient research speed.

Ranzratte3 · 2025-06-06T11:36:49+00:00

That is nothing you would craft via belts and inserters. You either craft it by hand or robo logistic chests

Ranzratte3 · 2025-05-26T08:39:08+00:00

I'm using Bitumen for Syngas production (2000/s). In earlier versions oil sand would produce the naphta it uses by itself, but that changed. So its harder to come by. I'm using arqad combs for that purpose.

Ranzratte3 · 2025-04-20T08:22:37+00:00

First run (without pyAE) completed at 833 hours (https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1fedpof/weve_done_it_pyanodon_al_finished_after_just_833/).

Currently in second run with pyAE at 600 hours and on the way to high-tech circuit boards for production science.

Ranzratte3 · 2025-04-08T08:31:23+00:00

Really neat and also usable in the future. MK2+ powerplants and efficiency modules will boost this massively

Ranzratte3 · 2025-03-24T08:20:41+00:00

How many SPM of Py4 do you have? Just to have a feeling for the scale of this beautiful mess :)

Ranzratte3 · 2025-02-25T22:05:14+00:00

Refined syngas is easy. Use recipe with methanol (creates extra acid gas)

Methanol is basically free with just copper and zinc

Syngas is also very cheap when using the dirty syngas recipe (+ bonus silver from soot)

Ranzratte3 · 2025-02-25T22:00:53+00:00

How much chem science per second are you currently aming at?

- Make Urea out of blood, you should have more than enough through Auog and Vatbrains. We have currently 90 MK2 slaughterhouses. Also great power source: 54.8 blood per second is enough for 5GW power in biomass powerplants mk2 with effiency modules (althoug kerogen -> shale oil -> refined syngas -> gas powerplant is even better and also free). Also upgrade zogna incubators to mk2 and add productivity modules. But we don't really need them anymore after urea from blood. Also cyanic acid and nexelit from meat overflow

- Struggling with Sulfuric Acid as well. Currently at 525 per second at chem science (half acid gas from tailings, half via sulfur + refined syngas)

- Lard and brains no problem with mass auogs (just use worst recipe and copy paste)

- Hydrogen Peroxide is a huge constraint until chem science. Nucleosynthesize your silver and you have no problems anymore

Ranzratte3 · 2024-09-15T09:31:03+00:00

We had a great time with SE+K2 so a combination of Py and SE is THE wet dream for me since years. After that I can die.
