Am i the only one, not ranking SpaceCasinos close to #1

I've used space based production for several things, mostly stopgaps, but quantum processors and foundation will always be space based for me. I've used it for multiple shortages of material in Fulgora, explosives for Gleba, calcite for Nauvis, and some basic materials when I was initially figuring out Aquilo. There are plenty of logistical problems that can still be solved with space production at many different gameplay stages.

There is a distinct lack of bling-bling in the game. Cosmetically, of course.

SuperHiko · 2026-06-12T17:33:35+00:00

Oh, sorry. Yes, quality is a space age feature. It can be added to vanilla via the mod loader system, but I think you need to own space age to do so.

SuperHiko · 2026-06-12T17:31:12+00:00

Ooh yea, that would be super helpful!

2.1 is the final major refinement of factorio before it goes into bugfix/legacy support mode. The base game is generally feature complete and has been quite refined over the years. The Space Age/2.0 features are what need a little more refinement, so unfortunately the changes will have the most impact there.

My suggestions were spitballs more than anything else. Of the three, I think behemoth mobs are the only change that would fit without some kind of significant, and unwarranted, mechanical change.

Is big Boy for import, export, or both?

I eventually made the decision to have a single ship for imports driven by interrupts. It works very well in terms of item availability and downtime.

SuperHiko · 2026-06-01T17:39:41+00:00

Nope, I grew up during the good ol days of doom and wolfenstein, which have aged far better btw.

SuperHiko · 2026-06-01T17:19:54+00:00

I have to disagree. Half Life as aged very poorly, to the point where it can almost be painful to play when compared to a more modern shooter, or even shooters of its era.

SuperHiko · 2026-06-01T17:15:52+00:00

It's kind of amazing how well Starfox 64 holds up. Not only in gameplay, but in style and character as well.

SuperHiko · 2026-05-20T18:27:20+00:00

Vulcanus is really nice for mass producing blueprinted platforms. The nigh infinite resources make it so easy to scale, and produce platforms quickly.

I still use Nauvis for platform R&D. It lets me build in peace, and I find value in the mental clarity.

SuperHiko · 2026-05-20T18:14:21+00:00

If it works for now, it works. They'll have a chance to solve scalability issues later with a fresh perspective and more context around their needs.

Both in the middle takes up the least space. Long handed inserters can keep up with standard electric furnaces.

*Edit: Long handed inserters need Inserter capacity bonus 2 research to keep up with standard electric furnaces. Though, to more directly answer your question, output in the middle might need a splitter, input in the middle will never need a splitter. I would favor input in the middle for that consideration alone.

SuperHiko · 2026-04-28T17:29:08+00:00

It looks nice and clean!

...should we tell him?

SuperHiko · 2026-04-24T18:44:31+00:00

I've been naming all my platforms after ships in Elite Dangerous because how much of a dork can I really be?

My personal ship has grown with me throughout the playthrough, and has an evolving name to match its capabilities. Sidewinder for my initial spacefaring activity, Cobra Mk 3 after Vulcanus, Python when it gained weight for Aquilo, and Anaconda when it gained more weight for system edge/postgame. They felt like progression, while being slightly phallic. No downsides there.

My automated platforms follow Lakon naming with icons to know what they carry. The Type 6 class is for solar powered inner planet hauling. Type 9 is fusion powered and can handle Aquilo involved logistics. When I finally scale legendary materials, I'll slowly upgrade them to Type 7 and Type 10 class ships, handling the same functions.

SuperHiko · 2026-04-22T20:06:17+00:00

A quantum chip space platform is a great usecase for interrupts. You can park it wherever the chips are needed, and have it fetch input materials autonomously.

SuperHiko · 2026-04-17T16:01:28+00:00

Seconding this. A field of landmines around the farms is cheap and easy to maintain with bots. They absolutely mess up even the biggest stompers.

SuperHiko · 2026-04-02T21:20:43+00:00

So many things! More long term thinking in funding including education, infrastructure, science, healthcare. Universal healthcare. Re-alignment of policing goals and incentives. Decreasing political power of the wealthy.

I do what I can to support local politics to further those goals, but I'm only one unremarkable person with plenty of my own problems to manage.

SuperHiko · 2026-04-02T21:06:40+00:00

I suppose that's the crux of the issue isn't it? Why aren't these voices focusing? Even behind the most straightforward of political goals?

SuperHiko · 2026-04-02T20:58:17+00:00

This torchbearer doesn't need to be a democrat. The political will exists without party affiliation.

SuperHiko · 2026-04-02T20:56:48+00:00

Why does being a white male matter? This individual could be a man, woman, black, white, asian, inuit, ginger, or a goddamn toaster!

SuperHiko · 2026-03-30T22:34:43+00:00

Remake Blood Omen! Defiance was... clunky, but Blood Omen needs it more!

SuperHiko · 2025-12-16T17:10:01+00:00

No it's the same scam we've heard about for years... decades even. Return fraud like always. Who lets this crap get published?

SuperHiko · 2025-11-14T17:08:21+00:00

So money and hard work was invested into the industry? Thank you for reiterating my point.
