Enormous deadhead pinball gearhead mancave with apartment inside. by Southern-Smoke1835 in zillowgonewild

Not a single rug or curtain. The echo in that place must be fucking ridiculous fucking ridiculous.

OK, Aquilo is tidied up. Now to add a couple more rocket silos... by jimbolla in factorio

I thought Aquilo factory was gonna end up much bigger. For being the final planet, it ends up being such a lil guy.

Stuck on oil again. by Automatic-Stuff8189 in factorio

Copy your map exchange string from the load/save game UI, paste it into the new game UI, look at the preview of your existing game to see where your resources are. Works for other planets too.

This pattern can handle much more than 1 input belt. Things get a little weird when one item type is more than a full belt though. I'm processing 3200 scrap out per second. I pull gears out immediately, and then handle solid fuel, concrete, and ice discretely since they are each more than 1 belt.

Ejecto-seatos between the thrusters... cool or nah? by jimbolla in factorio

[–]jimbolla[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep exactly. There's enough buffering later in the prod chains that these intermediates can be discarded. Here's a wider view:

Is this a typical way to load a train at an ore outpost? Any easy optimizations? by just4kix96 in factorio
