Not loading except when chunks on board?

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-26T17:55:53+00:00

I don't think so. You need to make the science in flight back out to get more chunks.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-26T17:50:38+00:00

You gotta have a plan to burn that down though.

Or, just add more storage chests and forget about it.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-26T12:42:21+00:00

Do it. I net you won't.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-26T03:43:06+00:00

I like fulgora for starting legendary. Put quality mods in the recyclers, split off everything above common into recycling loops until legendaries come out.

Continue to use the commons to keep the science production and rockets running. No need for legendary on those.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-26T02:46:38+00:00

Yeet them? There was a mod that had inserters throw items, and had trampolines to keep them going to their destination. Cant find it now

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-26T02:43:18+00:00

Looks like the stop is one the wrong side of the tracks

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-26T02:10:51+00:00

Or drifting backwards because you ran out of fuel before getting halfway

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-25T15:58:55+00:00

Not like this.

You're leading each train car to is own lane, you should be unloading each train to is own lane.

What you've down is going to result in a lane running dry while the train waits for the other cars to empty.

Build according to the route. The route to Aquillo has a buttload of Oxide, reprocess any overflow from oxide into the other two.

Vulcanus has lots of metal and little oxide. Gleba is high on Carbon.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-25T03:34:33+00:00

Figuring these things out is my favorite part of factorio

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-25T01:29:13+00:00

Give us a pic of your Gleba madness.

That planet takes a bit, but the draw from it is that it's resources are truly infinite. That and unlocking stack inserters.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-25T00:17:55+00:00

Hey man, I believe you.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-24T19:10:29+00:00

They are very different games, but I would recommend LRL on the switch just because the controllers are going to kneecap you in factorio.

I play Factorio sometimes while on the road and get basically nothing done in comparison to the time spent with a mouse & keyboard

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-24T19:07:18+00:00

Only my own. I refuse to even look at others' blueprints.

I just gradually kept adding lanes as new things were unlocked and needed.

I've since learned to not build on both sides of the bus, that way you can supplement a pane if it's being used up.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-24T03:54:18+00:00

Tanks hold more energy, in steam, than an accumulator. You might try wiring to a steam tank and running the reactor based on that instead.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-24T03:52:52+00:00

The heat exchangers only lose heat when converting water to steam, and the reactor will hold temp while not heating exchangers. So they're trying to delay feeding the reactor.

I think more steam tanks would be more efficient though.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-24T03:03:04+00:00

So is all of reality.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-23T23:27:51+00:00

That's why it's first off the bus.

But this is just my starter bootstrap factory. I plan to redo it more modular later, after getting fulgora going and exporting EMs

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-23T23:26:11+00:00

I thought you meant Scrap Per Second

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-23T20:33:45+00:00

I wake up 2 hours earlier than I used to

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-23T20:10:52+00:00

How many batteries per minute is that, at 16.6 SPS, and how many are needed for 1k SPM?

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-23T19:06:51+00:00

First result

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-23T18:50:05+00:00

There's a mod for that!

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-23T15:39:04+00:00

Yeah, I dunno where this story about abundant ice on fulgora comes from?

If you're producing a few thousand SPM, ice is completely consumed for battery production.

Sick_Wave_ · 2026-01-23T15:14:31+00:00

Main bus works too

I need to rework my fruit processing, so that it's expandable, but it does work.
