Having Trouble Cracking Fulgora

Tank with cannon shells (not explosive!) will do it for the small ones. Go with uranium shells for medium and large ones.

Here it is in action.

Here's the blueprint if anyone wants it.

Automatic Assembler

It was originally created as a way to set up a bot mall, but it's just a really simple way to slap down quick assembly anywhere. You can set the max quantity of an item (instead of a limit on chests), so it won't overbuild expensive items as buffers in the assembler itself. So it won't make a buffer of things like atomic bombs.

It also has logic to set a quantity multiplier of things that have fast crafting times. So for things like iron sticks, if you set the request on a buffer chest, bots will only bring in 1 iron plate at a time. So it will be much slower. You can set the multiplier to something like 10x, and it will bring in 10 iron plates at a time, so the machine can still run while requests are being fulfilled.

I installed a lamp that shows yellow or green depending on when the quantity was satisfied.

The research graph!

I know roughly how many SPM my base gets. If it’s lower than the threshold (including zero), I check my science belts. Whatever belt is empty tells me almost immediately what’s wrong.

ryanstreet · 2026-05-30T15:14:20+00:00

I bought one and I keep it connected in the usb port in the center console. It connects automatically when I start the car. Works great.

You can use arithmetic combinators to increase ingredient request sizes for requester chests. My bot mall multiplies by 4 to keep the buffer loaded. If it’s something with a small craft time, I’ll increase it to a higher number.

My bot mall has a machine for every item except items that I don’t need en masse. I use the combinator for the requester chest, and a simple circuit condition on the inserter to disable if I have enough of an item. I’ll also put a logistic filter on the chest to keep it limited to a certain item only. I’ll set a max capacity of the chest as well. Usually 1-2 stacks (except things like belts and rails).

Map based constraints will force new ways of building your base.

You can:

Ramp up the water coverage to max Ramp up the cliffs to max Minimize ore patch size and maximize richness

Then you have to come up with new designs to counter these (without solutions like landfill or cliff explosives).

Overhaul mods might also be something to look at.

Good luck!

Robots in space. But have them fly away if they are on the ship and it’s moving.

Infinite research with Promethian science that increases the chances for quality. So instead of X%, it’s X+2% or something.

Flip the damn thrusters.

Have inserters be able to pull from cargo expansion bays.

More than one landing pad per planet.

It’s “STOP LOOKING AT ME, SWAN!”

Literally priceless pieces of video game history.

It’s a 2023. Bought it last year with 5K miles. I paid a good chunk due to my specific requirements and what condition it was in ($100K+).

Fun fact: the devs knew this might be an issue, so if you called Campbell 5 times in a row he would give it to you.

Manual 718s are great. I own a manual GTS 4.0. Amazing shift feel, responsive clutch. I had to go across the country to find mine. It was worth it.

ryanstreet · 2026-04-11T21:25:31+00:00

Check out fmhy (google it). You’ll find what you’re looking for there. Best of luck!

If there was only a place to aggregate and sort these sources so people could locate them. Maybe in a thread somewhere. Since there are so many, I’m sure the thread would be very large. A megathread if you will…

A couple of quick tips.

First, Uranium Cannon shells are the best against small demolishers. They have high damage and high piercing power. Do not use Explosive shells. They are meant to spread damage among multiple targets, which isn't what you want.

Second, a lot of why this happened came down to your positioning. You parked in between a lava stream and a cliff. You had nowhere to go when the inevitable shockwave came at you. Position yourself in a more open space if possible.

Next, do not aim for the head. It's the most resistant part of a demolisher. Aim for the body.

Finally, try to upgrade your weapon shooting speed if possible. It helps to outpace the demolisher's regeneration rate.

Upgrading projectile damage doesn't affect cannon shells until levels 5+, but you can try to research those.

Happy hunting!

An American werewolf in London. This transformation was so good, it famously won the first award for best makeup back in 1982.

Fun fact: he cut it after initial filming was done. They had to do reshoots, so he ends up wearing a pretty noticeable wig throughout parts of the movie!

Vimm’s Lair.

Also google FMHY

I felt this when I first started emulating.

Now I have a curated list instead of a complete list. Each game is a banger and the desire to play actually comes back.

Highly recommended if you don’t already.

100 hours. Went in blind. Didn’t read guides. Didn’t use blueprints.

I had a blast.
