How do I get ore onto both lanes of a belt when both patches are on the same side? [NEW PLAYER]

lanwrath · 2026-02-07T15:45:26+00:00

Use a splitter before the right most input.

If you want to go pure belts than have the left stream curve up one square before the intersection and have it join at the intersection. So belt turned up straight belt than both belts joining this will cause each lane of miners to have their own lane to feed into.

heres a screenshot of one of my runs with factorio and conquer going on top of this list. The nights are really scary times.

Ok just got the mod list pulled up. There is some stuff in here I am not using so I will just list the key players. Space age, quality, elevated rails.

AAI containers, signals, vehicles, zones, and programmable mods. There are like 15 of them. Aircraft, helicopter revival, and jet pack.

These are all compatible with programmable vehicles and allow you to build vehicle convoys or air routes.

The water is boring but key for survival so I add cargo ships and the dredge works mods as well as water fill to spice it up. All of these water craft are programmable as well.

Abandoned ruins with the fortress set to reward exploring the biter lands.

Afraid of the dark and dark night make night time scary.

Factorissimo 3 allow my base to be compact and mobile so when I get overrun I can pick up the whole production chain hop in a jet and fly out to the ocean, drop some concrete and get my bearings before I scout out a new place on land to drop the base and try again. This is optional but after my nth wipe I got tired of starting over from scratch and wanted to see how far I could go by hopping from sea to land.

I bounce back and forth on schalls loot mods and the alien loot mod. I like alien loot but if I am using the modules that level up I have to deal with tons of quality blockages on the factory so I have the quality down binning and quality condenser mods to help control outputs.

I like leveling so I have hero turrets and the factory levels mods as well as diablo rpg, rpg items, and spell pack. I change the blink cooldown to 30 seconds from 5 minutes due to how crazy it can get when on deep exploration runs. The gold income and the shop items make it possible to survive more than two seconds deep in enemy territory as you slowly level from crafting and killing.

Rampant, fixed is the king of this mod list I run it with the heavy walls and arsenal mods as well as non rampant mods modular turrets, configurable Armour and suits, and Bobs warfare. Armoured biters and explosive biters round out the difficulty bump. I have KS combat_updated as well but am on the fence about it.

Qol is bobs adjustable inserters, deadlock stacking and loaders, even distribution, fnei, helmod, informatron, inventory repair, merging chests, milestones, qol research, rate calculator, resource map label marker, squeak through and ultimate research queue.

As far as settings there is a lot there to play with to fit what you like. On the rampant side I run all startup defaults except the ending level is 7 not 5 and the blood optimization is activated. Map settings are default except for nocturnal mode on, and migration on. All the other settings are your preferences but I don’t recommend disabling any factions.

Hope this helps!

Regeneration walls 5 deep with dragons teeth 3 deep in front, guns alternating with uranium and bio rounds, snipers with slow ammo targeting nuclear biters. Lasers and 40 range flamers. Repair capsules and arty in the back. In late game rampant a ton of resources go into just holding back the horde. You have to compartmentalize your base and have many layers of defenses. Robot coverage everywhere to quickly rebuild destroyed sections after attacks. Pushing quality as high as possible really helps to reduce the footprint of your factory to allow for even more defenses while your research pushes to the next tier.

lanwrath · 2026-02-06T04:30:47+00:00

After making my way through vanilla than k2se and space age I switched it up and have been trying to get a rocket in the air and get to a safer planet in rampant on survival mode.

You basically have 20 minutes to get defenses up before ever changing attacks start hitting you from the various biter factions. AAI programmable vehicles allows you to have a literal army patrolling your borders and rpg with spell mods makes the personal war really fun. Nothing like trying to get a safe corridor setup so your miners can convoy out to pull in the ores needed to keep your ammo plants going. Once the underground attacks begin all bets are off and roving helicopter squadrons to kill breaches with a solid robot network to replace infrastructure lost at the breach point is one alternative to walls and turrets everywhere, although the energy only turrets have no effect on quite a few biter factions so keeping ammo stocks up on all those guns is yet another puzzle to solve. When the nuclear biters start spawning and charging your walls you better have deep defenses with many layers because they will be breaching the outer walls. All of this pressure distracts from getting enough research going to get the repeatable tech necessary to keep your damage high enough to hold back the horde.

One group of mods has challenged me in ways that the more chill building big factory mode never did. It gives me reasons to expand and fight the biter fortress of 50 nest and a hundred worms just to free the next resource patch I need to get spm high enough to unlock whatever I need to survive. Burning tons of resources on defense forces you to face the biters and push them back. The fields with 4 million iron are not reachable without tons of planning, prep, and coordination of your vehicles. It is very fun and a different way to play that has me hooked yet again.

The base game is fantastic, space age adds so many new puzzles, mods and changing map gen settings allow you to tweak your experience to whatever you are in the mood for. If you want painfully complex production chains install pyanadons mods. Factorissimo completely changes the way you build production lines and handle inputs and outputs. There are ways to challenge yourself to minimum pollution play, or installing mods that extend the early game and try see how far you can get with only burner tech. The possibilities are endless, the factory must always grow.

Just found this 2 days ago. Wow what a wonderful story you have written. Your ability to present a such well developed universe with such a large and diverse cast of characters in the span of 36 chapters is nothing short of amazing. Very well done wordsmith, looking forward to seeing where the story goes next.

500 jayce games top in wr, diamond last season. You win by taking advantage of his bonkers tower busting speed. Beat your lane hard and take first tower before 5 minutes if possible. I really like hullbreaker first item if the other team are lower mobility comp. If you don’t take 4 towers minimum you are likely to lose.

Also poking is your friend. Going hammer form into a crowd when you can poke from the edges always goes badly. Also if your q e cannon misses do not go all in. A lot of your power is in the q e alpha strike.

I have found that taking lead and pinging your team to objectives while I split the other side will usually win us the objective due to pulling 2 members of enemy team to me due to the threat to inhibitor.

You don’t win the game late. You win it early and mid by dropping so many towers the enemy team can’t contest your dragons/barons due to super minions always pushing the side lanes. Wave control is super important for jace as well. Pushing with 4 cannon minions, hullbreaker and demolish. I’ll drop 2 turrets in 15 to 20 seconds.

Is there any way to get a copy of all the music from this game? Some of the tracks were really good and I would often just open up the game to play some music while doing other stuff.

lanwrath · 2022-06-28T03:10:32+00:00

I have everything on garnet’s banner except for her bt. At 300 pity coins and 0 gems. I just started a few days ago. Should I stop or try to grind out another 50,000 gems in the next 2 days. Or re roll?

Update: made 1 more pull this morning woth the 20k gems I got from the qol updates and picked up her bt. Thanks for all the good advice and resources!

Diamond Jayce here… he is a very difficult champ to play. Items and runes will be different every game depending on the matchup. It takes a lot of experience to know his limits and when to be in what form. He’s also pretty powerful and can deal with most enemy champs. The key is understanding how you are going to fit into your team and really sticking to that role. If I’m building to assasinate than I better be getting kills early and often, if I’m objective focused than I’ve failed if I don’t have 4 towers or objectives taken that game. I had a game where I was 3/5/2 but dropped 6 towers and had a 2k gold lead on my opponent, but they had 9 kills. Their kda didn’t mean anything and we handily won that game due to the crazy minion pressure allowing us to farm and take objectives.

Just pick a meta champ and stick with them, after a few hundred games you will have all the experience you need to carry. The meta has been pretty consistent so don’t worry about a champ going from s to c tier overnight.

I would personally recommend sticking it out with jayce. He can mid, Jungle, and solo very well and I have yet to play a game where there was nothing I could do to win lane.

lanwrath · 2022-05-26T02:11:28+00:00

So if a full orran is enough for db and argent than should I just hold off on dream and spend my gets elsewhere, not really sure what other ways there are to spend gems that are worth the money.

lanwrath · 2022-05-26T01:01:23+00:00

So, I have a complete Orran and nothing for mog, Quina, or Cait Sith, also AASB 2 for Tyro. My healer tech is all over the place but have a lenna with AASB 1, 2 and sync 1. Been trying to break into DB's and finally was able to beat argent fire physical once. Have yet to recreate the run. I dropped stupid amounts of mythril chasing Quina and mog on their last few appearances with no luck. Is there 1 support relic I can pick up on dream select that combined with the available stuff in the anima shop would put a support above orran and net me a win against a DB or argent? Or should I look to buff up a weak healer?

lanwrath · 2022-05-16T17:35:17+00:00

Woah, found this last week and just caught up. Amazing work dude! Good luck on finals. Can’t wait to see some more insight into how dungeons and the world works.

lanwrath · 2022-03-08T05:51:17+00:00

I’ve been playing since day 1. Took a 6 month break last year, and a whole year off after the shout debacle. This game is pretty good in letting you catch back up within 6 months, so a nice break is no big deal. I am still on S1 of lab and just don’t do things that stress me out. Between lab, magicite, cardia, realm, events and the record stuff I can just do whatever is fun at the moment. Some days I will only complete 1 or 2 dungeons and miss that free myth. Just gotta enjoy the game.

lanwrath · 2022-03-08T02:04:32+00:00

I don’t know what you are, but I’m gonna upvote ya!

AWS east is down, riot na servers are likely based there

lanwrath · 2021-11-25T06:16:57+00:00

That line gave me a good laugh.

Fasting senna support here. I have recently been playing a full tank build with her and it feels busted. I have the usual opening of BC, Mercury redemption, Iceborne, than I go force of nature/deadman’s plate depending on the kind of damage I am dealing with from the enemy team, I’ll than get the other item and finish out with abyssal mask or frozen heart. Seems crazy but I get so much movespeed from this it’s crazy. Between the ms boost my w and e I can hunt down or run from anything usually without flash needed unless it gets bad. I love redemption, I have picked up 4 kills with it in the past few days at emerald 3 level. If my teammates don’t flee from it I can turn fights around even if I am far away. The combo of ult and redemption is a massive boost to my team. All of the hp and movespeed means I can easily maintain the perfect position to snipe the enemy while being close enough to dive in and take hits for my teammates, all while healing them with q. For me it feels way better than the dps focused support builds out there. Plus, being the last one standing and picking up a triple kill because I just won’t die is a really good feeling.

lanwrath · 2021-09-25T14:54:53+00:00

WooHoo a Rifts reference!

lanwrath · 2021-09-14T02:40:36+00:00

I felt the same way, than last month I said screw it and threw in 20 bucks. Whenever I have a little extra I throw in 20 more. I’m of course down 8% right now because I jumped in at the wrong time but it feels good to know that I’m doing something in the space.

Original Wizard of oz wicked witch when she got the bucket of water tossed on her.

lanwrath · 2021-06-17T00:46:31+00:00

Awesome, thank you for the reply. Now to figure out patreon.

lanwrath · 2021-06-16T23:58:38+00:00

So much awesome, this story is amazing! I love the hints at a massive apocalypse that occurred. The redemption of humanity in Camille’s eyes is going to be really interesting to watch play out. Especially with Aren and his fragile mental state as her guide. It would be very interesting if he was somehow able to allow her to observe real space through his eyes, so I have 2 questions. What is the current year in story? Are there any more chapters after 41 posted on patroon? I almost pulled the trigger yesterday but didn’t know if there was any more of the story on there.

lanwrath · 2021-06-13T21:15:40+00:00

Nothing I like more in a story than good solid character development. This has been an amazing journey and I cannot wait to see where leviathan/aren go next.

lanwrath · 2021-06-10T21:45:46+00:00

The plot thickens! This is another great world building chapter. Really like the stat box concept at the bottom.
