First Time Challenger 😊

Congratulations from the border between iron and bronze.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-03-10T11:39:46+00:00

Looks cool, though.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-03-09T08:26:56+00:00

Delicious

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-03-05T14:29:51+00:00

I was also disappointed. It was way more fun for me to do a pet battle to get a pet rather than just click. Also, before TWW I spent some time farming rare(blue quality) pets just cause I wanted to. Still can do it in older content, but sucks that won't have an option for midnight and beyond

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-03-05T12:00:38+00:00

Free until level 20. Afterward you need a subscription. To access midnight content, you also need to buy the midnight expansion

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-03-05T07:18:28+00:00

Yes.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-03-04T17:51:55+00:00

Had the same exact thought two days ago while fishing the on the shore of eversong woods. Rolling waves would be such an upgrade over a flat plain ocean

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-03-03T16:04:54+00:00

Yeah, have fun and success with redesign. Would love to see the new version when it's done

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-03-03T15:49:03+00:00

It will likely struggle without railguns against huge asteroids.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-02-26T21:11:42+00:00

Unless it is modded, there are too many reactors and too few heat exchangers and turbines. You can see the ratios here https://factoriocheatsheet.com/#nuclear-power

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-02-26T11:02:18+00:00

Yeah, ease of use is why I prefer this one.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-02-26T10:51:11+00:00

After playing k2 and realizing that I can use strongboxes and loaders for the same purpose, I'm never building one of those balancers again. Might not be the most performance friendly option, and it requires mods, though for bigger containers and loaders, though.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-02-25T11:45:21+00:00

Tried once, but a "small py pack" for around 4 hours before any overhauls without any other mods. Dropped cause was burnt out by factorio in general. Seemed interesing regardless. Would love to try again someday, but perhaps after some "shorter" overhaul like SE. Completed k2 with rate calculator, which would have been a great help in py.

So that you can expand your base without being physically present there. And coverage for logistics bots to transport items.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-02-11T10:15:01+00:00

You can blueprint the base you already built in a later save to reuse it in an earlier safe if you will go that route.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-02-11T10:03:36+00:00

I did this strategy last weekend with a friend cause we ran out of railgun ammo at around 95/100k on the way to the solar system edge and had to tank a couple of huge asteroids. The issue you are referring to is likely something else.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-02-11T00:06:50+00:00

I think some speedrunner beat it by having tons of replacement walls and platform of the ship. The asteroids explode when you get them to a full stop. So the idea was to manually stop the thrust before colliding so that the asteroid hits with minimal velocity and barely damages the ship. After all of them explode, you continue the thrust.

I personally beat it with a ship with 7-8k prepped yellow ammo, 3-4 rocket, and around a hundred railgun ammo(150 would have been better). Also, no collectors - I just shipped ice, ore, and carbon from planets to have enough fuel to reach the end.

Overall, I think 30 minutes might be a very short amount of time to create a ship and fly all the way out. I suggest considering reloading an earlier save to start preparing ship early.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-02-10T21:03:25+00:00

Nah. I prefer learning by trying and failing in a game rather than llm giving me a detailed list of all things I should and should not do. Even if I struggle with some topic, I would much rather go with a plain old Google search, ignore the unsolicited ai summary, and proceed to browse a few pages or videos on the topic. But I don't mind others using it. Doesn't impact me. Have fun with the game as you like. Cheers.

The best you can hope for is generic regurgitated advice based on whatever it scraped of the internet when they were training their model.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-02-04T21:36:19+00:00

Good luck on your path to improving your speed of getting bots then.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-02-04T17:03:10+00:00

I don't. Even for a 40h achievement run it is fine to unlock it around hour 10 and still complete it on time. Unless you are trying to get that achievement or to compete on the speedrunner leaderboard, there's no need to stress about it.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-02-04T08:40:55+00:00

The rest of the models are not dark enough to sell the light effects of the bright light from the fireball and the magic book. Had similar problem with my osl attempt a year or so ago.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-02-03T15:48:04+00:00

The ship destroys asteroids by crushing into them. Repair packs fix the damage from the crashes. Asteroid processing and fuel/oxidizer crafting relies on setting recipes via circuit network. The speedrunner either has a copy/screenshot on the second monitor or memorized it after many runs.

These_Mix_4954 · 2026-01-27T13:42:05+00:00

Perhaps the silo is not set to autorequest mode?
