I miss when this was fun.

>start game
>remember why i quit last time
>look at everything that's wrong for 10 minutes
>quit game

>>713182213
The game is not for you, I'm afraid.

dopamine slop tbqh

prob a dumb question, does this run on a toaster?
i have a 2018 ryzen 2

>>713182936
Depends on the size of your base.

>>713183082
i've never played it, just tell me if a starter campaign can run on a toaster

>>713182487
All games you enjoy give you dopamine

>>713182487
that's exactly what i like from it

>>713183134
Install the demo and test it.

>>713181819 (OP)
the biggest problem with pure factory games is that they have no point beyond making the next tier widget

>>713183541
The point is to make beatiful automated trains transport stuff.

The things this game does man
Now I'm gonna have to design the exact opposite for fulgora where the trains rest at the providers and are the ones sorting the garbage

>>713184073
That just sounds like using interrupts and train limits normally.

>>713184176
It mostly is, it just accounts on if there's less than one train worth of stock left and calculates that based on stack size and amount of wagons, plus fancy colored lights and displays warning of stock shortage, and the fancier one multi request trains where I just select a recipe and it goes to fetch all ingredients, but for this later one I gotta say fluids made it annoying since it forces my hand into adding another neighboring station

>>713184717
>one multi request trains where I just select a recipe and it goes to fetch all ingredients
To one station? Sounds like a filter nightmare.

>Get to Aquilo
>Lose all motivation to continue playing
Why does this happen?

>>713182936
you'll be fine
half the fun is building a base so fuckhuge it cripples your cpu, anyway, but you won't hit that for a long time (well past game completion)

>>713182936
>does this run on a toaster
yes

>>713185152
Probably because the rewards are shit. Railguns are worthless for everything but winning the game. Fusion is fine but slapping down another nuclear reactor was already easy with how efficient uranium is. The cryo plant doesn't have innate productivity wich makes it a module hog.
We didn't even get refrigeration to help with spoiling.

>>713185117
It's a bit of a pain, but I find it worse having to set multiple stations for a single product, although this doesnt beat optimal throughput of a dedicated multistation, it gives very good throughput for less common stuff that consumes lots of products

>>713185152

Probably because Aquilo is shit. It's not interesting, it's not challenging, it's just tedious.

>>713181819 (OP)
Factorio fell off ngl

>>713186293
Arev you using filtered wagons? Otherwise getting the right number of items in there sounds like a nightmare.

>>713186329
You can feel the deadline closing in on wube in aquilo, hopefully 2.1 lets them do whatever they wanted to cook now that the hype for the expansion has cooled down

>>713186602
No filtered wagons, you get one train and dump it, and it the item count of that item is less than (number of wagons(item stack size*slots in wagon))/2, trigger a signal so the train fetches another load of that item. Sure, I use warehouses in this design, mostly because fuck balancing, but I'm 99% sure you could do this with regular steel chests by filtering the unloader inserters

>>713186370
Spage made the game a lot longer but not much wider. Ships are a bit expensive but not in any interesting way. Once you get the gimmick for each planet it's just more building to do. No real endgame or goal -- you're still trapped. Quality is just a big resource void that can't be integrated into your factory.

>>713187427
yup, i just dont like it, id rater play 1.1.111 py

>>713181819 (OP)
Factorio?

>>713185152
It was my fav planet, but it really felt lacking. And as >>713185872 said, while the rewards are great, they're mostly worthless.

I wish there was a point to continue in the endgame

>>713185152
No idea, I burned out after gleba and didn't get to Aquilo. I'll do it someday.

>>713182213
Just embrace the spaghetti, until you have everything already researched.

>>713185152
Aquilo is kind of lackluster compared to the other planets. The other new planets provide new mechanics that influence your designs more fundamentally, Gleba and Fulgora especially but Vulcanus as well. Aquilo on the other hand doesn't really provide anything new, except that you need to glue heatpipes to everything and there's no space to build. It's kind of just extra tedium, the builds you make are fundamentally the same and quite basic, except you have to space shit wider apart to add heatpipes. It's not really interesting compared to what other planets deliver in terms of gameplay.

>>713189779
PALWORLD.

I'm tempted to buy the game but my biggest fear is that I'll sink in a lot of hours in it.

>>713190821
Same. I hate playing games too

>>713190907
Okay, I'll get it. Another problem is that I'm a retard. Is the game retard friendly? I guess I'll find out soon enough.

>>713185872
>We didn't even get refrigeration to help with spoiling.
That would have been really neat. Running cooling pipes around belts amd assemblers instead of heatpipes

Boughted the game.

Is the multiplayer any good? I'm starting the tutorial and it's bringing it up.

>>713191024
My zoomer nephew and his friends did it just fine.

>>713183541
>there is no point beyond the gameplay
Storyfags are fucking retarded niggers.

>>713191337
7h4t'5 1337, 6r0.
Now enjoy yourself. You'll figure it out.

>>713191135
Exactly. We already have cooling loops for fusion so might as well use it for keeping science packs fresh. I'm fine with added complexity if it gives me 10 or 20% more science per pack.

>>713191024
As long as your factory produces any amount of the shit you need to progress, you can beat the game. Most players have a spaghetti nightmare base by the end of their first blind playthrough.

>>713183541
It's not about the end point but the journey to get there.
