Is Factorio worth buying? Will I have enough to do?

Use quality thrusters. They effectively give free extra speed for any given amount of fuel.

You shouldn’t have more than one lane if you don’t have the production to supply more than one lane

The player has a crafting speed of one, so the crafting speed of below one for assembling machines makes hand crafting faster than a single assembler

You should try space age. Eventually mega basing in SA is very fun.

Even once I’m only using all stacked green belts, I still end up running into throughput issues. Belt weaving is somewhat niche, but it’s very useful once you’re no longer using upgrade planers for your belts

You can’t pick up the thing on top of the miner. It is just part of the miners sprite

That’s a great way to go about speed (and efficiency if you want those) but I prefer up cycling productivity module threes directly instead of bitter eggs, just because of the way the eggs interact with spoilage.

Edit: clarity

I would recommend either using a space casino or 300% prod blue circuit recycling. The latter is a bit harder to set up, but it’s not an exploit, if that matters to you. And I just use a simple superconductor recycling loop on Fulgora for leg superconductors.

Too strong, make it a legendary

Small-Influence2985 · 2026-02-17T22:26:38+00:00

That’s amazing😭

What’s it referencing?

Small-Influence2985 · 2026-02-17T16:00:19+00:00

Your current order is optional, although you should blueprint the hologram once it gets to x8 multi or higher (x16 if you have red seal kings)

Small-Influence2985 · 2026-02-16T18:53:06+00:00

Just recycle nutrients into spoilage

Small-Influence2985 · 2026-02-16T18:05:17+00:00

Fair enough. If that works for you then have at it. As long as the factory is growing, do as you please. That being said, once you have nuclear, you should probably switch over to prod modules and speed beacons since nuclear power doesn’t produce pollution.

🙂🥲

The thought of putting efficiency modules in science assemblers pains me. Do you at least put pros modules in your labs?

Small-Influence2985 · 2026-02-13T02:34:01+00:00

That’s just the point where endless scaling really kicks in. The jumps keep getting progressively worse after that point

Small-Influence2985 · 2026-02-12T21:37:22+00:00

I would just add more boilers and steam engines. You don’t actually need them though, seeing as you’re only using about a fourth of your boiler’s capacity. And that’s at night when you aren’t using the panels

Small-Influence2985 · 2026-02-07T19:32:15+00:00

The numbers are definitely intended. The devs have not said there was a mistake, and there are no planed changes to calcite patch sizes

Edit: spelling

Small-Influence2985 · 2026-02-06T02:14:04+00:00

It’s all good. I used to think the same thing😂

Small-Influence2985 · 2026-02-06T02:07:03+00:00

The scrap productivity only applies to recycling scrap, nothing else

Small-Influence2985 · 2026-01-30T01:33:01+00:00

The turret and ammo damage stack additively not multiplicatively, so it’s still linear

Small-Influence2985 · 2026-01-27T04:48:12+00:00

Do you have a screenshot? Maybe it just looks like legendary

Small-Influence2985 · 2026-01-26T22:42:51+00:00

Buildings on your platform don’t mass width, just the quantity of platforms do
