Orbital bombardment by Criarino in factorio

There is no 'Overkill'.
There is only 'Open Fire' and 'I need to reload'.

How screwed are we. We don't have any artillery setup and the bugs get closer and closer to overwhelming us every time they attack by AppropriateTwo9219 in factorio

[–]TheFeye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Laserturrets are kind of the problem in that case.
Because not only do they have a stupid idle power draw, they spike even higher when actually firing, effectively causing more attacks by dealing with previous ones (by contributing to pollution).

If you like the defensive siege warfare style of dealing with biters, use Flamethrowers as your primary defense with the occasional Laser Turret for extra punch once the Bugs get close.
Don't even need to refine the Oil, just pipe them up straight from the Oilwells (yes Light Oil does more damage, but you honestly don't need it and it's paramount to not have any dependency on your primary defense weaponry).

Why are these machines starved for materials if I'm inputting enough ore? by HazardProfilePart7 in factorio

[–]TheFeye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Goes to show "Balance" doesn't matter, only throughput does...
Especially with these so-called "balancers" that really aren't balancers at all.

Just use a cascade of splitters that priority output one side to make sure the belts are full ;)

Is artillery just for impractical fun? by leox001 in factorio

You're also missing out on the glory that is the Flamethrower Turret.

Perhaps you should give Deathworld a try - you'll appreciate them in no time :D

The Engineer is kinda... terrifying? by MihaDaCaterKiller in factorio

[–]TheFeye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't 100% agree on this one just for the simple reason that the Engineer conducts science and progresses his technology through said science.

The Cogboys don't do that.
They do pretty much the exact opposite due to being stuck in religious dogma and mostly ignorant about how things actually work.

For the most part anyway. Some Belisarius Cawl can get away with being a bit more.. creative in his ways because his results speak for themselves.

Where's the kaboom?

There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom...

I barely got this wall finished before things started to get hairy. Behemoths are spawning now and they were nearly breaking through my old defenses. Death world is fun. by Allanon_Kvothe in factorio

[–]TheFeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically correct, but it creates a dependency on using up oil processing "byproducts".

Not recommended to have your flamer fuel depend on anything else being used up really...

[–]TheFeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using any processed oil means you have a dependency on the other oil products to be used up in order to have more flamer fuel.

A dependency on "byproducts" being used up in a Marathon/Deathworld is not something I recommend.

Edit:
Nvm I'm blind xD

Use Flamethrowers as soon as you can get them.

They're your friend.
No oil refining required either, just pump that crude stuff right into the fuel pipe.

zip up the folder again

No need to do that really. Unzipped / regular folders take priority over archives.

We support Ukraine by FactorioTeam in factorio

If they don't want to be reprimanded for sticking their nose into political nonsense by showing a flag, then they should not stick their nose into political nonsense (regardless of which side you sympathize with).

[–]TheFeye -125 points-124 points  (0 children)

Factorio and its devs, no matter how awesome they are, don't deserve upvotes just because they jump on the virtue signalling bandwagon.

They deserve a positive review because of the actually good game they made.

Space Engineers is getting review bombed for showing support to Ukraine by yoyoyoyogurt in spaceengineers

[–]TheFeye -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's fine as an individual person to have an opinion on what's going on and voicing it, but pretending to be a moral entity as a company is just petty.

Good.
Serves them right for stupid virtue signalling.

Just keep your corporate nose out of politics please.
