I’ve decided to port Factorio to Minecraft. for now, the AI has created the models for the blocks, whilst I’m writing some of the code myself

I added a chain signal before the entrance to the junction's holding area. That put a stop to this behavior. But why did they choose an occupied lane when there were 5–6 empty ones?

I've finished tweaking my Gleba base concept and finally published it on factorioprints.

This build is based on a criss-cross pattern with horisontal belts providing nutrients/removing spoilage and vertical belts delivering resources to their destination.

Works completelly on conveyors/inserters and splitters, bots-free.

It's built with red belts but fastens up with express and turbo conveyors (everything is overproducing and can be even more productive with Speed Modules 3 in beacons)

There are built-in coolers for iron/copper bacteria and small smeltery arrays. Base is producing iron/copper plates, plastic, sulfur, rocket fuel, lube and carbon as well as ~100 Agricultural science per minute.

Every lane of resources (except for nutrients) is cycled to be in constant motion and every lane is equipped with filtered splitters for spoilage removal.

Everything is powered up by 2 heating towers that burns spoilage and excess of Yumako fruits/Jellynuts (this is required for red belts, completelly unnecessary on blue and green).

Print includes guidance displays for easier start for beginners and those who struggles on Gleba and it's spoilage mechanics.

Science production can be mirrorred to the bottom left part of the base to double Agricultural packs amount.

i just need to get yellow science up and i can leave. please. my mind is filled with the slow hum of churning machinery. i havent eaten in days. i touched my wrist to check for a pulse and my arteries are fucking weaving inbetween eachother with underground belts

It is my favorite way of dealing with the early pentapods when arriving to Gleba!

Just saw this video on youtube about a new mod. Whoa!

First time posting.

im working on a mod for Factorio to play in vr

is based on the work of https://github.com/GDani31/factorio-3d-mod and this mod for command & conquer https://github.com/Cesarus85/Generals-Zero-Hour-XR

today I have reached the point of being able to see and place structures in the map,

is using the version of Factorio made for linux arm64 and built for the headset Pico 4 Ultra (I don't have a quest to test, but is not that much different )

if someone wants to help me, here is the repo https://github.com/lucahttp/factoriovr

Nauvis- pshhhh easy. Could dominate it in my sleep

Vulcan (that's what I call it) - let the LAVA FLOW

Fulgora - had me sweating but one of my favorites tbh

Gleba- screw this place. Man the amount of bull crap and stupid stuff on this planet. This place is literal hell. I HATE this place

I'm trying to do all of the planets without dropping starter supplies (besides my Rare Mech Armor with fun gear installed). I actually *tried* to do Gleba after Vulcanus and before Fulgora. I foresaw *alot* of mistakes with my factory while I wasted items that spoiled while I tried to work out the issues with my factory. I even took my save file into freeplay mode so I could work out a layout and then transfer it back to my regular . Even with that I lost the will to even work on Gleba. I couldn't see how Gleba can actually function and sustain itself without in person management.

I loaded a save file from before I left for Gleba and went to Fulgora instead. As an aside, that's the easiest inner planet IMO, I thought Vulcanus was easy but Fulgira...I barely built my typical factory at all. I went from nothing to rocket silo and launching Science packs in no time.

Does Gleba get easier? Will the factory eventually run itself? Just trying to harvest enough seeds to plant new trees seems like a losing game. I *barely* make my seeds back and that's with Prod 2 modules in my processing Biochambers. The two biomes are so far apart and I have to either hope I can use belts (not always possible it seems) or slog through enough to get trains going and that seems like a real mental pain on this hell hole planet.

I came up with some real Rube Goldberg system for black starting the Gleba factory from just spoilage and no nutrients at all. It worked but...damn was it annoying. The circuit logic I think I will need to really make this factory work seems like I will be pulling what's left of my hair out.

I almost want to quit the game this planet annoys me. Just thinking forward to trying to create the Agricultural science and send it off to be used before it spoils and still loses it's research value... is mentally taxing. This spoiling mechanic sucks all the fun out of this game. It's not a fun challenge, it's an annoying challenge.

Well my save has about 6 hours in the past 2 days. My last post asking about enemies blew up. And someone said post updates as I play, so here’s my first. So far the enemies haven’t been that bad. Especially once I got armor piercing rounds and grenades. I just cleared out every enemy camp I found. This game is very good. I’m still trying to gauge what’s under and over production. (I did boost mineral rates)

Yesterday, I decided to start what might be the most brutal Factorio challenge I've ever attempted: Deathworld Marathon with 600/600 settings.

I barely managed to survive long enough to reach oil and flamethrowers. And then I started wondering if this run is even worth continuing.

The nearest iron patch is ridiculously far away and surrounded by an insane number of biter nests. And uranium? Well, the world generation apparently decided to troll me — the only patch I've found spawned in the middle of a lake, with just 130k uranium. Seriously?!

So here's my question: Is this actually beatable, or should I just give up and roll a new seed?

In theory, I could try to survive long enough to launch a rocket using only blue science, escape to Vulcanus, and continue developing from there.

But honestly, I'd really like to spend more time on Nauvis. Once you get to Vulcanus, the game becomes significantly easier, and somehow a lot less interesting.

What do you guys think? Has anyone actually beaten Deathworld Marathon on 600/600 settings without rushing off Nauvis?

Finally got around to tackling a rail world again and purposefully set out for a bunch of achievements.

Much to my dismay, when I built my first space platform and launched that rocket, I didn't get a single one.

I didn't even research solar panels, lasers, or any of the advanced sciences...

What gives? :(

Whenever I visit players' servers, I’ve never once seen a well-designed stone smelter that fits in nicely with the rest of the smelting setup - so I came up with this version. In my opinion, it looks great and blends in well with the others.

It’s easy to build yourself, but for those who can’t be bothered, I’ll just leave the BP here: Плавильня камня - FactorioBin

After downloading/uninstalling the demo a handful of times. After saving/removing lets plays from my library. I finally just bought the fucking game.

I played a decent chunk of the tutorial and decided to move on to free play. After two hours of general tinkering I decided to restart

Safe to say I'm obsessed. Any beginners hints/tips would be welcome.

Hello, I recently set up a save for 2.1 and got to working on quality, still early days but nothing I haven't done before. I got to thinking that without space casinos anymore getting things like legendary iron and coal will be much harder on Nauvis. Obviously you can do iron on Vulcanus really easily but does that mean we will need to be shipping everything from Vulcanus to Nauvis for biolabs? Interested to know your thoughts.
