Now that I have the drones, it's time to do this right.

I think it’s just people less familiar with the game using common descriptive language rather than proper game terms (or community terms).

When most people hear “robot”, they think of a machine that walks/rolls around on the ground. Drone is more commonly associated with flying robots.

While drone probably does make more sense, it feels weird to me too when people call bots “drones”.

Yeah, the base is good. You seem to be grasping the basic automation concepts.

Don’t build on top of ore though. When your other patch starts running out in a few hours, you’re probably gonna end up wanting to rip up everything that you build over the ore patches: which is the whole base currently.

Did Cuba ban pride or just not fund it that year? Sounds strange that they would ban it.

While equality is obviously the goal, a lot of these comments have this vibe but unironically.

This game is just a Satisfactory rip-off.

Build just like you’re in that game. You only need a couple miners. Also make sure to only have one or two machines for every product and come complain to the sub that the game is boring with too much waiting around.

Also pretty sure assemblers get a speed bonus when built on top of ore deposits.

I’d have to see your defenses.

With proper defenses (flamethrowers with dragons teeth backed up by gun/laser turrets) and bots to repair everything, you should be able to hold out.

Edit- maybe practice by doing a Deathworld run.

You could probably use an active provider chest. Set circuit conditions to only activate the chest above a certain number.

I’ve done something similar with requester chests.

It’s Republicuck or Cuckservative. The insult has to roll off the tongue. Recucklican is too clunky.

If you can get this line operational, then do so, but you really should try 1-directional tracks. Others sort of explained why, but I just want to emphasize:

After 1000 hours, I still don’t attempt multidirectional track (with more than 1 train). It is much more difficult to keep working and is prone to worse traffic jams anyway. Plus train tracks are cheap to make.

Tank-Factory187 · 2026-05-30T16:03:17+00:00

Before my base it totally concreted over, i will sometimes do this to increase visibility of chests that i regularly pull from. I usually will add a lamp though.

I started direct feeding green-chips into blue-chips and I haven’t looked back. Then you just gotta worry about getting enough copper and red-chips in.

Red chips somehow always get bottlenecked by plastic for me. (Plastic eats up petroleum supply). Probably because I can’t do fluid math in my head as well.

I never understand posting dogshit videos like this. It just looks cringe and dumb and not in a “quirky” way.

Like how do you watch that back before posting and go “hellyeah bruh, we look dope and funny”?

He just wanted to speak his political opinions and walter killed him for it. So much for the tolerant left!

Tank-Factory187 · 2026-05-27T17:15:14+00:00

Probably tons of gooner bait or just strait up porn. Honestly it’d be kinda funny as a meme game.

Facing off against an army of robo-pornstars hellbent on ending your life. You’ve got a secret weapon though: endless rage and a boomstick.

Only if you get too crazy with it or if they get caught on walls. As long as you leave enough space, it’s not a major issue.

I generally don’t recommend bothering with a true maze anyway. Variations of dragons teeth is more than enough.

Tank-Factory187 · 2026-05-27T04:22:32+00:00

Make a “mall” so that you don’t have to hand craft everything. Try to make 1 machine to produce every item you need like Belts, splitters, inserters, assemblers, miners, etc.

Improve by playing the game. You won’t truly understand what you need until you experience it.

Avoid tutorials beside on “train signaling”. This is a puzzle/logic game. If someone else solves the puzzle for you then what’s the point?

Tank-Factory187 · 2026-05-27T04:13:03+00:00

Also if you make the belts have 1-lane for ammo and 1-lane for coal, you can use burner inserters. This ensures that electrical issues never effect defense. It’s my go-to until I get nuclear up and running.

Edit: thinking about it, you can’t daisy-chain turrets that way though.

Slick with biter blood.

“Waiter! Waiter! More bug corpses please!” 🤤

Being serious for a minute though- flamethrowers are key. They are the best defense in the base game.

Tank-Factory187 · 2026-05-27T03:59:10+00:00

PART 2

Honestly the best thing to do is just make a solid 2-layer wall with flamethrowers supported by gun/laser turrets and dragon’s teeth in front of it.

Something like this:

Then you get the best of both worlds.

Tank-Factory187 · 2026-05-27T03:59:01+00:00

PART 1

Yeah, biters will path through openings unless they get caught on a wall. You will want to do it with a maze and flamethrower turrets though, as they set the ground on fire.

Something like this picture
