This is my new factory. I learned quite a bit off my first build and this feels like it runs much smoother than the last. It still has some minor issues but... I feel like the design improved quite a bit.
So what do you guys think of belt hell?

Have two assembly machines making the ammo, set up a smart inserter that feed into a chest off your Science Pack 2 line, pulling transport belts off the line (As long as you have about 2 or 3 assemblers making belts this shouldn't hamper your science production at all. I was pulling transport belts ...

I like your build for the pre-planned sections. I makes it look nice and its very easy to just slap down your electo-furnaces when you get them. However you are cutting your overall throughput of raw ore by splitting the belt in half for the furnaces fuel source. Personally I like having a full belt...

Ahh, space station 13. The most robust spess maen simulator ever. Who else indulges in this wonderful game of paranoia fun. I pretty much only play on Goon. I love it over there. With the insanity, things blowing up etc. I know some people rather a more serious environment. So what server do you pla...

Seeing this made my jaw drop... I loved spacechem. (Despite I never beat the damn thing I am stuck on the space station right before the boss) This looks great though. Now, as for saying Infinifactory ripping off factorio? I really don't think thats their intention if they know about it. To me facto...

The big difficulty with the "boss" type biters is that your turrets will lock onto them, and ignore everything else until the boss is dead, while the little guys eat your defenses. This is what makes boss mob dynamics FUN! If you have a radar up, it should have a special icon for like &qu...

I had a interesting idea that, instead of aliens that are just pissed off by pollution and/or noise. How about special ones that only come out at night, attracted to the players lamps and wants to destroy them? Maybe have bioluminescence on their bodies as well? Also it would be cool to have some so...

I just figured this was a normal thing. I mean older games like for example Command and Conquer your money or troops never carried over. It's just a gameplay mechanic.

my FIRST real game.... Adv. Oil Processing. It REALLY is a must. What else are you going to use light oil for?

Ok, me and my roommate are working on a cool thing that can do that with any recipe, but it's buggy as all hell For the rest of us it's all from watching/playing a lot and reading other people's science I am all for cool custom programs that do auto calculations for you stuff. However It's still ni...

Thanks for the tips, honestly. I been really busy or I would of responded sooner. As a question I have. is there a page with resources that show how much of X you should be making to produce Y? Like for example how this was mentioned: for the (Green) Electronic Circuits, the common ratio is 3 Copper...

Actually... It does... When the labs are actually processing.... Problem is... I for some DAMN REASON cannot get electronic circuits to produce fast enough for the blue vial production

Similar to RTS games like Warcraft 3 or Starcraft 2. He says WC3 and SC2 and doesn't even mention the game factorio looks like... Command and Conquer :( (Damn it EA) Anyway. I do support this idea, I would love toggable cords on the minimap. Being able to ping to your friends, maybe even adding a f...

Hi there! I am pretty new to factorio. I only got it on this past friday (Nov 28th) And I been hooked since! I found out about factorio through a forum for another game I play called space station 13. After looking it up, playing the demo, I was hooked!. Anyway. I had a LONG weekend at work, working...
