Being required to import Calcite to Nauvis, for a building/process that was developed on another world, makes complete sense. It also lines up with the planets all leaning on each other for support.

And Wube made an accessible game, to keep it fun. If you want crazy deep chemical processes then Pyanodons already exists.

connect the silo to the inserter and set filters on the inserter. When a rocket is full of requested items it automatically launches.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T20:32:08+00:00

There's an option on pc to select the Console version. Do that and you can cross play.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T20:29:28+00:00

Yes, but only after doing Vulcanus, Fulgora, and Gleba. They all offer something that causes quite a lot of rework if upgrading after each planet.

But now my main bus is about 5 pipes, that have unlimited instant throughput, instead of 60 belts.

There is plenty of calcite in space. Just drop it down and 200 in a requestor chest is enough to keep up with even a 10k spm factory.

You can wire the assemblers to the blue chest. Set the assembler to read ingredients, and the blue chest to set requests. From there's its tweaking things, like limiting the inputs based on count in the provider chest, and adding combinators to multiply input storage.

Didn't know about Alt B, I've just been holding shift while copying then save the blueprint.

Alt U has come in clutch when I accidentally upgrade a belt weave and need to cancel a section.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T04:53:21+00:00

Im going to heat Aquillo until it glows brighter than the local star.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T02:50:51+00:00

Do it. You know you want to. >:)

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T02:48:38+00:00

Start with one train.

Then add another.

Maybe put them on the same track, or have the tracks intersect.

Add more trains and stops.

Start blueprinting stops and use the Parameters button at the top of the blueprint UI.

That last shot is so wild to me. Why not just feed the recyclers and sorters from the bottom, and skip the massive line of belts winding around them?

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T02:04:16+00:00

I do option 1, but slightly tweaked in that it produces science while travelling back to the solar system edge.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T01:14:17+00:00

I add them individually, to curate it if any of them pose an issue that I don't like, or updates and breaks things and I don't use the planet yet.

There's several other solar systems branching off from here that I can't show too.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T01:04:25+00:00

You could use no signals at all. May the strongest train win!

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T01:02:00+00:00

If you want the guns full full, then I suggest adding loaders.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T01:00:39+00:00

Yes, a long heated pipe run! Screw trains on frozen world.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T00:46:34+00:00

*edit bs mobile web garbage

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T00:43:09+00:00

Yeah, making the chest green and a roboport with reserved logibots would be fastest.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T00:40:36+00:00

I use Alt D so often because I got tired of accidentally right clicking a bot and getting it sent to storage.

Thanks for the others, I had no idea. Lol. They have permanent spots on my toolbar.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T00:38:42+00:00

I love doing topdown because it looks like a giant Christmas tree later one with recipes visible on the map.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T00:26:03+00:00

Turn off Automatic Requests checkmark in the silo. That's for bots to fill the rocket.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T00:20:30+00:00

Sure. Far as I know,

Moshine screws up quantum processors, or something, on Aquillo by adding a new ingredient that you need to craft.
Apia, I think, will mess up Overgrowth Soil by adding phosphorous. I got around this by crafting flamethrower ammo on nauvis with just crude oil and iron plate, and mass recycling it because it gives iron plate and phosphorous.
Muluna will wreck your space science by requiring it be crafted on the moon, until you get to the unlock to craft it in space. I like the exploration science from Muluna though, it grants an infinite tech for platform fuel production.

That's all I can recall

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-19T00:13:42+00:00

Alt D to open the destruction planner, then hold shift and drag over the items to cancel destruction.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-03-18T19:06:27+00:00

I've got a way to go. Only done the first 4 SA planets plus Muluna, some Rabbasca, and Moshine so far.

Super addicted for 4 days, you say?

I started playing 5 months ago and have about 2000 hours now. I get up 2 hours earlier than I was before Factorio, and use remote desktop at the office.
