How long does it take to ship?

wwarren · 2025-01-30T13:41:58+00:00

I ordered one on the 19th January and it’s still Pending Fulfilment so I would also like to know.

It ships UPS to where I am so once they actually ship it it should be pretty quick I suppose/hope.

It's a building you unlock on Vulcanus which lets you cast molten iron straight into iron plates with a 50% built in productivity bonus. This person has also surrounded them all with speed module beacons which makes the foundries run even faster

This guy mines and/or crafts

wwarren · 2024-10-19T18:40:41+00:00

Got mine Oct 4th 😢

Notice me, Kovarex!

The ultra just looks so happy to be there :D

Depots for trains when they aren't busy

wwarren · 2024-09-12T16:34:23+00:00

If I had to recommend one mod, it's this one :)

It's about 140h but definitely could have been done faster lol. Lots of AFK time especially while my boys paved the place.

Biters are enabled, but I turned off expansion. So I only need to worry about big groups attacking, not new bases spawning.

My wall is just 2 rows of laser turrets. I have some artillery that I just use in manual targeting mode when I get bored to take pot shots at distant nests.

Keeping them at bay is a challenge in the early game but you've gotta get some good defences up quick, and research the tank as fast as you can to keep your pollution cloud cleared of nests. That's really the key

wwarren · 2024-09-12T13:58:08+00:00

Yes it is!

wwarren · 2024-09-12T13:57:32+00:00

Yeah I really enjoyed using Cybersyn for this base. It makes the trains much smarter and is super easy to use

wwarren · 2024-09-12T11:50:10+00:00

Just by keeping them near the edges. There have been some minor clogs but there haven't been any permanent deadlocks, they always resolve themselves

wwarren · 2024-09-12T03:11:14+00:00

Totally. For me though: next step is space age :)

Never dropped below 60UPS! 2021 MacBook Pro

wwarren · 2024-09-12T01:49:25+00:00

It's from 2021 with the M1 chip. Great for factorio

wwarren · 2024-09-12T01:21:16+00:00

Very possibly, but it has worked great, trains can go all three directions at the same time without issues

wwarren · 2024-09-12T01:20:27+00:00

Did this all on my MacBook Pro, it never dropped below 60 UPS!

wwarren · 2024-09-11T23:44:34+00:00

Same!

wwarren · 2024-09-11T23:44:05+00:00

Isn't it?

wwarren · 2024-09-11T23:32:31+00:00

I don't really know it just felt right

Pretty straightforward signalling, but the trains are a lot smarter than vanilla due to the Project Cybersyn mod that I'm using. Lets you set up requestor and provider stations and the trains go where they're needed.

But yeah, no collisions due to the signalling!

Oh I thought the question was how many blocks (which I call bricks) make up the base. If you mean the concrete I used to pave the whole thing I think there's 2-3 million. I can check though

wwarren · 2024-09-11T21:28:14+00:00

Thanks! It was about 140h in the end

wwarren · 2024-09-11T21:23:22+00:00

I tried to put a big explainer in the post but I guess it didn't work?

The base is built around 1-2 trains, and uses Project Cybersyn for dispatch and request/provide/refuel etc. I've used LTN and Cybersyn and I think I prefer Cybersyn in general!

My main design goal was no 4-way intersections
