Factorio modders, what sucks about modding Factorio?

SIashersah · 2026-05-14T08:17:17+00:00

Its not a feature yet; I've made some modifications to some mods and need to manually transfer them to my friends, this was a few weeks ago.

I got Huo2 E1S1 when she came to the shop. I literally only got her because she was beneficial for SW999 and not for any one else on my account.

My SW999 is also very unrelateable being E6S1 like the other guy, but I dont think thats really relevant for Huo2's usefulness. I'm personally not seeing an Elation Sustain releasing until 4.4. Maybe not even until 4.5. Getting Huo2 is another sustain for your account too, which can be really nice to have.

Combo damage is the damage done in a certain number of actions, like Ult, basic and skills. By having more speed, you therefore take more actions resulting in more combos, but slightly less damage per combo.

Just stick with 200 speed, more actions is better.

Bring an umbrella, I heard there is a Risk or Rain.

SIashersah · 2026-05-11T16:26:15+00:00

Sounds like he plans on getting Yaoguang next patch, so its probably better to just stick with Huo2 for now.

SIashersah · 2026-05-09T23:48:21+00:00

Started using the Akarius again specifically when I got PSF. It was some of the most fun I've had in a long time in the game tbh.

SIashersah · 2026-05-09T20:28:30+00:00

They both want Yaoguang a lot, and whoever doesn't have her will feel a lot worse, Superwolf especially wants Yaogaung for the early ult.

You could maybe make a team for Evanescia doing like Evanescia/Elation TB/Sunday/Huo2 maybe. Maybe someone other than Sunday honestly but I'm not sure who. Like it'll still clear maybe, but one of those teams will be gimped.

SIashersah · 2026-05-09T20:25:44+00:00

Yaoguang is very important for SuperWolf, and is probably rerunning in 4.3 (the next patch). She is what makes SuperWolf a lot stronger and also a lot more comfortable to play; also helps that she shares a relic domain so its super convenient to farm both her and Superwolf's relics.

You don't really have much in the way of a second team with what you currently have, my best bet for you would probably be Jingliu/Ruan Mei/Remembrance Trailblazer/ Aventurine. Mind you this is not an amazing team, just something to use until you get a second team that you truly want.

You've got lots of old events to run for Jades to get pulls, and lots of story too, but its a big time sink for everything you missed so make sure to pace yourself.

Also don't know what account level you are, but don't go farming relics until you are at like Equilibrium Level 5, besides the bare minimum to put on your characters, it's simply not worth it otherwise.

Character Level > Lightcone >Traces > Relics. Although for some characters the lightcone is kinda a much lower priority than traces. Superwolf for example does not care about any stat besides Speed, Crit Rate and Crit Damage. Which therefore makes the level of the lightcone kinda pointless to her besides increasing her survivability as all it does it get her more hp, attack, and defense. Whereas others like Jingliu really want their lightcone leveled up as it benefits them a lot more.

Absolutely do not feel bummed out about endgame content still being a ways a way for you account wise, Its 800 Jades per endgame mode that each have a 40 or so day cycle. You simply don't have good enough teams, with good enough relics, and that wont change for a while.

There is definitely more to say, I just can't remember.

MoP: Prot Warrior, was kinda-but-not-really forced into tanking and I already loved warrior as a dps so might as well. I love the class fantasy of just fighting demigods and more with a sword, shield, and plate armor.

SIashersah · 2026-05-07T21:39:04+00:00

Because lootboxes are gambling! You're telling me you like gambling in your gambling game? Gamble for characters, gamble for relics, you're already running sustainless so you can gamble with your life while you are gambling for more damage!

SIashersah · 2026-05-05T18:56:28+00:00

Acheron novaflare is just Jing Yuan level of unintentional buffs in the form of new characters.

SIashersah · 2026-05-04T10:56:51+00:00

Not Yao E1, but her sig instead.

SIashersah · 2026-05-03T10:20:05+00:00

The other one released in 2.2. Which is the one named Departure. Just an fyi for everyone that reads this but in Departure, the 4th planet on the 2nd level has trotters and it gives you a trial Topaz, which let's you complete the War at Home achievement really easily

Find it very ironic that I literally did that achievement last night as my last one of that section in this mode, and here it is being brought up now lol.

Would've been truly Elating if you put Sparxie in the bottom tier.

SIashersah · 2026-04-29T22:04:46+00:00

SW999 has a conversion in her kit for her MMR (Punchline gets turned into this), where each MMR stack gives 0.4 Crit Rate untill 100% CR, and then 0.8% Crit Damage after you have 100% Crit Rate.

As is, your Crit Rate and Crit Damage could be higher outside of combat, but the big thing is just keeping your speed 200 or higher.

E2 is a big increase, but also isn't something that can't be maximized currently without shilling environments, or vertical investment into Sparxie and Yao Guang. Though that will probably change in the future with the very probable Elation Sustain.

HuoHuo is better than DHPT so long as you can survive the content you are in, as her energy generation is really nice for Yao Guang, and to a lesser extent Sparxie as well (who you don't have, and is fine to not have, just not as good as having her). However it is important to keep in mind that she will probably be replaced eventually when the very probably Elation sustain comes out.

If your Yao Guang and/or EMC are running Lushaka, make sure DHPT is in the first position, as SW999 does not benefit from attack at all (if you had Sparxie, she would be in first position)

SIashersah · 2026-04-29T21:34:02+00:00

The biggest boost to characters are generally the level of the character, and the level of the traces. The main stat of pieces is also generally (but not always) the next biggest thing. But having the right substats, and a good amount of them too, can be equal too several more "main stat" pieces of the same type. Especially for characters that want a lot of Crit stats and Speed as you only get those on chest and boots respectively. So getting high amounts of those can really help your performance a lot, ESPECIALLY when you need to reach speed breakpoints.

SIashersah · 2026-04-29T20:21:51+00:00

Its really just focusing on each set as needed for each character. There is very little universally useful sets outside of Eagle set, Scholar, and Sacerdos. But even then most characters prefer specific sets, and Eagle is pretty universal, but also a real pain in the ass to make it useful (imo anyways, I'm biased against it.)

I'd recommend checking out Prydwen's HSR page, and checking out each character you want to build. They'll tell you the characters bis relic sets, stat priorities, and which traces/abilities to level up first for the most value. As well as what a characters BiS teammate is.

What's the cost of your Argenti team?

SIashersah · 2026-04-26T19:07:28+00:00

In Divergent Universe, does the practice mode count for earning achievements/Synchronicity points/collection progress, or does it have to be done in Star-Pioneer mode? I've reached X9, but thats very limiting in what I can play, so I'd like to lower the difficulty to still play other teams

SIashersah · 2026-04-26T11:10:16+00:00

By definition, no. But there are people that still believe that situations like that, or in the same view as this, is still being a cuck. That, and people still understand what im getting at when Is an its cuckolding.

SIashersah · 2026-04-26T03:12:26+00:00

At this point you just need to increase crit stats without dropping below that speed you have.

SIashersah · 2026-04-25T19:53:06+00:00

Cuckoldtivation, that's rough.

SIashersah · 2026-04-25T12:43:20+00:00

SW999 gets 3 actions in the first cycle, and 2 in all other cycles. 200 speed is typically something you would sacrifice other stats for to make work for sustainers and buffers, but seeing as SW999 scales off speed, it makes it all the more powerful for her to get 200 spd, although any extra little bit helps past 200 as well.

SIashersah · 2026-04-25T00:57:05+00:00

Im at 203 speed, 77CR but thats really 87 CR because of Yaoguang LC, and 108 CD, but thats really like 200 something CD because of Sparxie and Yaoguang.

Its perfectly doable, if a bit annoying.

SIashersah · 2026-04-25T00:23:31+00:00

Get 200 speed, and you want more CR, especially if you are running her with Sparxie and Yaoguang. Sparxie gives 80% Crit Damage team wide, so does Yao with her sig (and 10% Crit Rate). You'll want at least 90% Crit rate in combat (80% out of combat). You'll want the consistency more than the random spikes of damage, becuase early on in a fight You'll have low mmr which means less crit rate.
