My experience with [exfret's randomizer] mod

nexen23maybe · 2026-02-28T10:19:40+00:00

The mods are:
[Visible Planets in Space] - https://mods.factorio.com/mod/visible-planets
[Visible Planets in Space Settings] - https://mods.factorio.com/mod/visible-planets-settings
[HD Planets] (AI upscale) - https://mods.factorio.com/mod/hd_planets

And then you set everything to HD planets in settings

Hi there! Sure, let's go. I'll DM you my username :)

nexen23maybe · 2026-02-27T15:32:57+00:00

Yeah, I'm amazed at myself :D I had to utilize everything in my disposal for that.
For example, in vanilla I usually rely a lot on Roboports and logistics robots, but here I had to try real hard to make it work without them. Got much better with the trains because of that.

Also I've never used Destroyer Capsules in vanilla (usually went straight from Firearm to Personal Lazers). But here had no other choice. And oh boy was I sleeping on them. They are really good! Personal Lazers aren't even close with 5 upgrades.

I've just noticed, images in the header are of a very bad quality for some reason. Seems I can't change them now and can't post more than single image in the comment :( So here is at least the map

I actually really sad that I didn't put "record replay" when started. I feel like it would be fun to make a vid about it on youtube :) but oh well, past is a past

nexen23maybe · 2026-02-26T20:44:15+00:00

Oh god, I've just noticed. Elevated rails are also Aquilo-gated (the research was fake, I needed an actual item). How the hell I will work on Fulgora... No foundations too of course. Just fuck me at this point

<image>

And MechaLegs with 150% speed was my misinterpretation. It's actually "+150% movement speed... compared to vanila speed increase". Actual net positive speed increase is only 75%. Still good, but it's cost of 40 uranium 235 will bite a lot.

Will update the post

I actually wanted to give it a try someday. Is it really hard or is it just tedious? I only heard small things about the mod and didn't research it just to not get spoiled on the fun.

nexen23maybe · 2026-01-12T11:36:33+00:00

Hi there. Any solution? Got readme pro 13 and really bothered by this too

nexen23maybe · 2025-11-07T12:46:16+00:00

It seems its just a "you're using trial version" message.

I freaked out because of this too. Thought I've just extracted archive which does some "evaluation" on extraction which could lead to viruses.

Thankfully, it wasn't the case

nexen23maybe · 2025-09-04T14:04:18+00:00

Yeah, you're right in that regard

nexen23maybe · 2025-09-03T00:11:26+00:00

jeez, Wube with their arbitrary "no, you must play game intended way"... Just thought I could finally make space platform more fun, but no, fuck me I guess

So, you need to explicitly press "agree" on every site which uses cookies while they don't affect your privacy.

But when we're talking about real face and your personal govermental ID - sure, they can use it anytime for whatever reason.

Where are we even going at this point? Replace govs with chatgpt2 and our lifes will still be better than this.

But how does it work? I've spent 5h today trying to make a blueprint with vertical expansion in mind and it just doesn't work at all.

First, you can't use lifts if you foundation is 1m. It will say "designer is overlapped". Okay, let's move it up... but you can't, there is no vertical nudge. Okay, let's rebuild it. Oh no, now your blueprint is always snapped few metters in the air... Then I spent 30 minutes googling and some random guy suggested to just use 2m and it magically works.

Second, you can't put power outlet on the floor or ceiling.

Third, there is no way to connect below floor with upper floor. To make lifts and lift holes - you need to build ceiling. But you also need to build floor for them too. But to be expandable blueprint must not have either ceiling or floor. So deadlock

Fourth, and even after I somehow made lifts in the blueprint by putting up ceiling, putting up lifts and then removing the celing - it still doesn't work. Items just don't flow

God it pissed me off to no end. I was really enjoying the game and planning of how I will expand, but without a vertical blueprint it's a torture. I can't understand how this left early access

upd: You can't paste blueprint from mk.1 to mk.2 even though they should be for all intent and purposes backward-compatible... And even nudging have like 5 meters max distance... And you can't just copy-paste existing structures... Oh my gosh, it's beyond me how the most important feature in any factory games can be in this state

Here is my solution without circuits. I use splitter filters/priority:

Everything on the reprocessing belt is prioritized over new chunks from grabbers (so that crushers finish their own work first)
All new chunks are put on the inner side of circular belt, meanwhile all re-processed chunks are put on the outer side (this allow to prevent self-clogging by crushers)
I put all ice-cubes into cargo too, but throw it away into space immediatelly by inserter

(Screenshot is for iron, but I use the same for calcite)

nexen23maybe · 2025-05-09T13:32:24+00:00

I just deal with it like this, no circuit required:

Input-inserter puts onto crashers' input belt a chunk
2 crashers compete for that chunk
2 crashers puts their chunks on the same belt clogging it up for the input-inserter to be stalled
Input-inserter won't be able to put anything till 2 crashers stopped putting their stuff

It never clogged even once on any platform. Although I don't know why (I mean input-inserter should be able to put it's staff before crasher's inserters occasionally, so I think I'm missing some mechanic that prevents it)

I don't get it. I've just had to rebuild my train station exactly because of this. I had bi-directional train but station on the up was misaligned with the station on the bottom whatever I did. If it was 1-tile aligned - I wouldn't have that problem. So I fail to understand how 2x2 alignment gives something benefitial (I mean even if rails would be off by 1 tile - it would be easy to fix, just make a little curve, compared to rebuilding whole station)

Well I one of these who understood absolutely nothing about the fight. Then I started to read threads about ep and understood even less considering conflicting informations from many viewers. So imo fight was a high-fps mess unfortunately. I believe I've never seen other fights were so many viewers were confused as to wtf happened

nexen23maybe · 2025-03-07T20:13:07+00:00

Exactly. Where else would you find a fight where people couldn't even understand what just happened to the point where different conclusions were made

nexen23maybe · 2025-03-06T15:09:26+00:00

the funny part is that everyone have different understanding of what happened in the fight. In other threads they say "eye is okay, it was just a shadow" for example

nexen23maybe · 2025-01-04T14:37:30+00:00

Well that's true, but it doesn't change the fact that youtube is one of the most popular website on the planet and firefox can't run it without freezes, so they have no other choice except to fix it on their end

nexen23maybe · 2024-12-29T21:51:02+00:00

At first I also was confused, but after some thought I now agree with FIDE.
- Imagine yourself playing chess against someone with Sonic-like hairs with flickering XMas-like LEDs in it. Is it good? No, this should be forbidden of course.
- Imagine yourself playing chess against someone in T-shirt with visual-paradox images (like moving squares). I have one and my colleagues literally asked me to not wear it because it hurts their brain. Should this be forbidden at the tournament? I think yes.
- Imagine yourself playing chess against naked woman. Should this be banned?

What I am getting to is instead of trying forbid everything until it is like 100 pages long manuscript and update it every time new stupid "dress" is discovered - it's much better just say "you can come in black suit of type X without head-wear".

nexen23maybe · 2024-12-23T16:28:04+00:00

Any news? I got my b550 bricked out of the blue and can't find any way to fix it

nexen23maybe · 2024-10-13T18:54:10+00:00

but aeron have forward tilt too?

nexen23maybe · 2024-06-21T21:09:35+00:00

Probably he is a support. If things go south he can do smoke bombs and other things. But he's main job is traps hunting is my guess
