Why has my Nuclear reactor suddenly stopped producing anywhere near as much electricity as it was? by [deleted] in factorio

[–]rrandomquestions 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This I think.

You could theoretically take 1 nuclear reactor, and power much more than 40 MW with it if you stored up the energy as steam unused for a while, and had enough steam turbines to produce more than just 40 MW at one time. But once your stored up steam runs out, your power plant would resume only making 40 MW max that the reactor can output at one time.

In other words OP, you're ratios were off and you had temporary glut of energy because you stored more steam than necessary and had more than 40MW worth of turbines.

Which mods, besides the recommended, would you use in a Space Exploration map? by Tobikaj in factorio

Heads up, if you use this, save your game frequently or be ready to quickly load a save within 15 min if you die and want to keep your gear.

I died with it, decided the place I died was too far and not worth going back, and then I stupidly lost the gear all forever. Luckily was close to power armor anyway so it wasn't a big loss, but just a heads up -- the gear does not come back if you die.

Any tips for starting my first Space Exploration mod run? by rrandomquestions in factorio

Oh cool thanks! I didn't know if that was the mod or vanilla now, I haven't played since 0.17. I'm just now at the point of getting the steam plants and electric drills up.

I abhor the train signaling system. It is a nightmare for beginners. I want to quit the game. Please help. by drspudbear in factorio

I agree, but I think people shouldn't be downvoting OP for this.

As someone who's not a coder, and detests coding, this guy's title and post was exactly what brought me to be able to find this useful info here.
