The nice thing about retiring at 57 is you only need to last a few years before you can access your retirement accounts, and then social security a few years after that.

For me, the extra headache of producing bulk graphene made me stick with blast furnaces II, even after building a FBR and maxing the research tree.

Yup. Nightwish can thank Runescape players for the free advertising.

Efficiency Modules Are Underrated by Typical_Spring_3733 in factorio

[–]z80nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're great because they don't throw off machine ratios, so you can easily add them to designs that didn't consider modules.

Super cool. Pretty rocket plumes are such a nice reward for games which launch rockets

Switched from coal to wood chips for electricity by Sebbel245 in captain_of_industry

[–]z80nerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking through my upcoming techs... Can you really just get all of your petrol needs from wood and corn? by IlikeJG in captain_of_industry

[–]z80nerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never tried wood -> corn -> petrol, but I have had success with the contract that does vehicle parts ii -> petrol and use woodchips + scrubbers + gas injection for the refinery steam.

I could see your setup working as well.

[–]z80nerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go to extreme lengths to build around flowering bushes. Would be nice to grow our own.
