I feel sad now, my smelting is so fast I can't mine copper fast enough. So I've run out of copper ore. I have plenty of copper bars, but it's still a sad feeling running out of an ore type. =( I've been on numerous scouting missions in my car and haven't been able to find any large copper deposits i...

Hello! Just an update, I didn't want to create a new topic for this.. I have a preferable performance now. I've set the updates per frame to 1, while this actually puts the game in slo-mo I prefer it a lot more to the jumpiness I had earlier that was making the game sit at 7fps. EDIT: What's the def...

He da best.
Now I want to play Splintercell chaos theory.

How long do you plan on continuing with that world?

I was thinking more like hotdogs or something. Reminds me of a mission in GTA 2... mmmmm. Ammo is cheap anyway though, maybe bodies could be used for something else. Maybe give a reason for the aliens to truly hate us, some sort of resource they produce that we harvest from their dead. =P Corpse wal...

I want to see trains in action :) I'm worried about using them for transporting goods. I've had maybe 3 separate empty trains traveling between two separate stops that where within defense area of my walls. But they keep disappearing, or stopping at random corners occasionally. I would love to use ...

BTW: The GPU utilization 0% looks pretty suspicious. Yeah maybe the software just can't get that information out of the GPU/GFX Card. I mean it has GPU load there still sitting on about 40%. ah my laptop has intel I7 with 4 cores at 2.1 Ghz. i've considered overclocking one of the cores to avoid ch...

after seeing your maps i can only imagine that your macbook is righteously beastly. how many gigahertz does each core have? Well it's only 2.7ghz per core, the design intention of multi-core I assume is to have more cores at a lower clock so they are more efficient / stable / cooler. I actually hav...

All I can say is, that it will change

Oh, thanks for the reply.
I should have known that. =/
Damn threads didn't cross my mind.

Ugh.. thought I would enjoy watching someone play factorio, But when you spoke about how ATI is great annoyed me a bit. Raw hardware performance means nothing when AMD has had horrible driver/dev support for the last few years. Rant over. :x I do remember the days when ATI was on top though, those w...

Nice to see your factory doing good.

btw have you try game.printentitystatistics() ?

Nah I don't know any commands.

EDIT: I tried it out.

I got my math wrong =/

I have 1000+ caps and
800+ solar.

In recent hours of gameplay I've been experiencing a worsening performance drop. I'm not too concerned as my factory is pretty crazy, I'm mostly trying to figure out what it is. I've checked and set both Factorio's CPU affinity to use all cores and RAM usage making sure it's large address aware. But...

I just did the math, and. I have over 800 Capacitors I have over 1000 Solar Panels I will be getting a screenshot of them eventually, I'm rearranging everything to be neater. I've expanded my wall so I have nearly twice as much room to work with. Beforehand everything was starting to get cramped and...

Yeah I sort of meant my suggestions as a joke and some enjoyment. =P Those songs keep popping into my head when I'm playing the game though. And yeah those songs by fetish park fit in much more nicely to game-play, being ambient and non intrusive. I think for gameplay variety and length also play a ...

Hello peoples. I'm aware that eventually there are plans for a RTS control hub technology for developed industries. But I had an idea for just normal zoom or even further zoom. ATM if I zoom out to maximum the area covered is pretty big, but there are a few downsides I'm noticing. - Entities have th...

In my 60 hours save I feel like the creepers never stop attacking. But I haven't had to modify my defense for at least 30 hours of gameplay. I set up a reliable ammo production line and built a wall around a big empty area, and up until the 55 hour mark I was still using up the space in the middle f...

connect my substations to what? I connect them to the grid with wire, They don't attach to poles automatically, because they use the poles wire reach not substation. For the bridges I used just poles and a handful of caps, build a row of poles spaced apart, put 2 poles directly on either side so the...

If you're worried you can build a backup system with steam coal that will only turn on if the accumulators are all empty. Just have 2 separate power lines, 1 being the main grid and 1 the steam power plants. In between the power line overlap put accumulators. I am sure I don't have enough capacitor...

Really hard to tell.. but maybe close to 25% accumulator and 75% Solar panel in terms of actual area they take up. If your accumulators are charging to 100% at the end of a day it means your power production is enough to provide the factory, fill the accumulators and then waste whatever is left. If ...

Our beeees will blot out the sun!

Also I've got my whole factory running on solar power / accumulators. Man you need a lot of accumulators to keep going through the night!

I don't have a picture of my solar/acumulator farm cause it's kinda boring.
