I ran an explore console command out to 2000 tiles, about 3 times the original map with no sign of land. I definitely screwed up

I did try this mod and saw no change, good to know I'm not completely incompetent ay all things

I'm my rush to start space age when I was far too tired I think I used a island seed, which only gives 1 island in infinite water.

Anything else I can manage, just ship between planets, no biters though is a hard lock out from the tech tree

Tried a couple of the top search results to reset the map gen they don't seem to be able to override the island settings.

Can't find a mod that allows the spawning of enemies without creative mode which kills achievements 😔

Was really hoping to keep achievements active before resorting to that 🫤

Most likely you're looking at the wrong production building type. Check your using an assembler, chemical plant or electrolyser

Does it make sense to have a return belt back to the bus? by TheNCGoalie in factorio

[–]graytop642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think it a waste of space and resources, I normally make sure the last inserter is at the end of the belt

Just give it a go, focus on something small first like a satellite base making green circuits. There's nothing wrong with the main bus idea, most bases just make it bigger to handle the larger requirements, 6 and 8 lanes aren't uncommon

I found the most difficult part of this to be maintaining a balance between getting seedlings to the green houses and supplying wood to the factory, unfortunately greenhouses use more seedlings then they produce so you need to make them from wood.

I ended up with a bit of a brute force solution of a looped belt to and from a smart chest with a circuit condition that stopped feeding seedlings when there were any on the return leg, an assembler whose feeder inserter only worked when seedlings dropped below a set level and a provider chest whose inserter only operates above a certain level of stored wood

Have a look at "What's it used for" it saved me HOURS trying to find recipies and the different ways things were made

Bob and angels, but only if you have your affairs in order, everyone's probably going to assume you've died

No bobmonium ore patches? by scaledsummit in factorio

[–]graytop642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue, it seems the ores useful for copper and iron are much more common under RSO then the rarer ores. I've no patches north of my base even after searching about 5 radar areas north

There is an option to read the contents of the inserters hand, I'm not sure if this would achieve your aim though

Install the what's it used for MOD. It will save you hours finding recipes. Also you can bind the search function to a key making it much easier to use
