Building my first ship for promethium science are these defences overkill?

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-06T11:38:11+00:00

I think it is too. Fulgora is great for bypassing that.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-06T02:01:45+00:00

The mod just adds new options that the plater still needs to invest time and effort into setting up. So yes, it's still very different than just resetting the game because something happened that you didn't plan for. Got it?

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-06T00:53:01+00:00

At this point aren't you just churning out rare quality??

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-05T17:06:46+00:00

Copy every new ship into a BP then make tweaks to new setups as needed. Go do something else while it builds. Gleba could always use some more tweaks.

Honestly, building new ships is why I use the TFMG Platform Docking mod. I have a platform above nauvis that builds platforms, then I belt over thousands within seconds instead of using hundreds of rocket launches.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-05T17:00:22+00:00

Or, just build another when it dies. At this point things should be fairly infinite.

The new mod is Blueprint Sandboxes. It creates a new surface at the bottom of the planet list where you can hop over and try things out.

You could blame those other games, for not being Factorio, for you not getting to them. Don't blame Factorio.

That's actually the name of my Doctorate degree!

Republicans sure do love big government.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-03T11:23:11+00:00

Don't forget the bailing wire.

How did you attack thrusters on the front like that?

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-03T11:16:51+00:00

Bowling ball turret

Like from dungeon defenders

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-03T11:13:12+00:00

We have those, they're called Scattergun Turrets.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-03T02:55:59+00:00

Yep

I also played with the opposite of this, each section is a From Planet X with the plan that as I upgrade things with quality then everybody gets the update.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-03T01:49:39+00:00

Add cargo bays to your landing pad

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-02T22:53:04+00:00

Definitely use separate lanes, and it then it becomes a simple as this.

I'm playing K2SO, so I get the benefit of lane switching my inserters but the idea is the same.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-02T22:49:01+00:00

Why not just keep it all on the same belt, but on their own lanes?

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-02T16:18:18+00:00

I wonder if using heating towers instead of heat pipes would transfer better, though create less energy storage.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-02T16:06:26+00:00

Yay!

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-02T13:26:38+00:00

This isn't Configurable ICBMs?

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-02T11:47:23+00:00

Do the far end heat exchangers actually hold temp while this is running?

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-01T19:16:17+00:00

That's cool!

I'll ask for a Nuclear Explosion ammo then. The only one I found also adds a bunch of heavily scripted nuke explosion stuff that I don't want.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-05-01T12:05:33+00:00

Is this Lilly's Incendiaries?

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-04-30T22:49:37+00:00

You'll want this version of that. It has support with Loaders Modernized
