I am heading into making advanced ciruits and soon after processing units but don't know how much space i should reserve to expand the adv. circuits and processing units? Should i simply build adv. circuits on the spot for each thing that needs them? I feel that enough things use them that it could ...

+1 was just thinking this myself.

BUT ROBOTS!

... your oil processing plant has JUST enough room before you run into your pre-existing railway...thank god.

With advanced oil processing the refineries produce so much more light oil than heavy. And since heavy oil is actually useful (for lubricant which is in a lot of late-game items), should i ever really wasting my heavy oil by cracking some of it into light when all light oil can do is produce more pe...

From where I'm sitting, looks like you joined just to promote a different game. I was going to put a little nicer but n9103 has hit the nail on the head. And to make things worse, it seems like a direct copy of the game that this forum is dedicated to. There is a fine line between using something a...

I saw this game about a month ago, the fact that there is no mention of factorio as inspiration even though the models for almost all the objects in game are clones of Factorio makes me not want to donate.

Last I checked, my balancing for advanced oil refining was: Actual Ratio____________________________________________________________Reasonable Final Build Ratio 1 Advanced Refinery_____________________________________________________4 Advanced Refineries 0.2 Lubricant Chem Plant(I add a heavy oil c...

Not particularly related to the question, but you're going to need much more than one light oil cracking plant. Assuming you've got no other bottlenecks, you can do at least 2 light oil crackers per refinery. Thanks for the tip, right now I was just laying out the design of the oil, but it is easil...

My lord.... I can't believe I didnt see that before....

Thanks a bunch, but I think its time for me to go to bed... I have been playing for about 6 hours and clearly am getting delusional.

I have some tanks of light oil being piped down to my light oil cracking facility and then the output is pipe upwards to my main petroleum line. My main petroleum line is connected to my petroleum tank pretty far away but it seems like the petroleum being added to the pipe is just stopping when it c...

I placed down an assembly machine to build some shotgun shells for me, i place in the iron and copper plate and i believe i hit E to open my inventory even though the pop up showing the machines progres bar and material inputs was open. This caused my inventory to open over this screen. When i hit E...

The sulfuric acid recipe makes FIVE units. Your real bottleneck will be using all of it. :) I see, i never accounted for the output of the sulfuric acid, but because i have to wait 3 seconds to produce the sulfur and 1 to make the sulfuric acid (And a little extra time for the inserters, i am curre...

I currently am seeing a bottleneck in my oil processing at the sulfur production. Sulfuric acid requires 5 sulfur and takes 1 second, but sulfer is produced in units of 2 and also takes one full second. Does this mean that for no bottleneck i need 3 sulfur plants for every sulfuric acid plant? That ...

Methinks Fish is going to be producing some sort of machinima made in Factorio and needs to be able to get views with the player not on screen.

+1 I have been wondering why this isn't implemented. I don't think it should be it's own research. Electric mining drills, roboports, and power poles all do not require extra research just to see their range, it makes sense that we should be able to see how far the turrets activate at.

Is this multiplayer? Or a clever ruse?

Awesome! Thanks for clearing that up

Is there thread or wiki page that has a list of the available texture packs? And are they installed the same way mods are? I am looking for cool new graphics to play Factorio with.

I want to be able to ship off lubricant, sulfuric acid, and other liquid products to my main factory. Why do we have a system set up for oil and not the very closely related products?
