only 6.8% of buyers of factorio actually bought the DLC and there are no threads about it????
I just figured out gleba and it wasn't that hard wtf is wrong with gaymers

We had dozens of threads at release and at least two in the past day and a half.

so more threads than people who actually bought the expansion

advance oil is too hard trash game

The original game has 6-8 million owners. Half a million sales is pretty good.

>>715644493
thats make me feel better cause its great imo

Space age honestly doesn't end up as interesting as it sounds. The interplanetary logistics were not very fun for me.
I preferred to stay on the base planet in the long run.
2.0 was nice at least, but I think I'd prefer other mods over space age.

>>715644616
are the 2.0 space age mods interesting? more planets etc?

>>715644421
Game really should've done the logical thing and let you dump excesses directly into the environment, pollution be damned.
Really disposal of items was always unnecessarily difficult.
With the recycler it is less manual now, but still more complex than it really should be to just throw something away.

>>715644819
I play with space age off, so I haven't looked into mods that would interact with it.

>>715645004
I was a planet after vulcanus till someone told me you can dump stone into the lava I had a huge stone furnace place and robots trying to stone brick the entire world up until then
I am dumb

Oil is really the only thing that can cause blockages. And it provides a unique challenge that can be fully automated and resolved with oil cracking and solid fuel production.

>>715644069 (OP)
Gleba was a really fun nut to crack, stack inserters are absolutely insane for throughput, and you could actually get creative with what's on the planet.
Aquilo on the other hand...
basically I hate designing space ships.

>>715645470
Yes, cracking and solidifying solve it, but it is an obtuse solution that essentially boils down to burning it very indirectly by powering some boilers linked to a pointless power sink like a radar array that you only activate when things back up.
At that point, just let me throw it in a burning stack or dump it directly into a nearby water source and be over with it.
It has the same outcome - more pollution generated for not correctly balancing your production.
If you want to reward yourself for doing extra steps, make it more pollution for being lazy. Meanwhile, I will continue to artillery strike a field of chests and fluid tanks.

>>715644421
you have no excuse in 2.0
>pump, tank, "read contents", pump on when tank >5k
>connected to cracking
>make infinite light oil
>from that infinite solid fuel into rocket fuel
there's a reason you can also make it from petroleum.
you don't even need recyclers, way too wasteful for Nauvis oil.

>>715646107
Sounds like you're just bad. You never have to needlessly burn fuel, you can always crack it.

Factorio fell off big time after devs were revealed to be incel chuds

>>715646468
they support trans suicides thought

>>715646468
They are also cowards for not including arcospheres from the mod

>>715644069 (OP)
I've played for more than a thousand hours and have never gotten achievements. Achievements disabled while playing with mods, which everyone does.

>>715644069 (OP)
I've played the base game so much I couldn't be fucked getting through it

I'll get around to it

>>715644421
Advanced oil is the first goomba.

>>715646468
>incel chuds
No such thing.

>>715644069 (OP)
Do not expect new players with that retarded pricing.

>>715644069 (OP)
Can't afford the DLC. I could afford the base game but not the DLC now. Funny how that works. What was the devs excuse for never having sales again? They didn't want to devalue the product for people who already bought it? Meanwhile they overvalued the DLC so anyone who thought the base game was good value gets fucked.

The DLC is the same price as the base game.
The dev is out of his fucking mind thinking people will actually pay that much.

>>715649379
Yes there is, zoomer. Learn the definition of words before you try fitting in anywhere, little retarded fuck

>>715646430
This. The only way to bottleneck on oil is to use it all on heavier products (rocket fuel/lubricant). At least with rocket fuel you can make solid fuel out of petrol if it gets too high. But for any of those to happen you'd have to be not making plastic for some retarded reason.

>>715649482
Just pirate it you stupid bitch.

>>715645004
>unnecessarily difficult
yeah its called a challenge

>>715650093
piracy is theft

>>715646107
Cracking alone can solve any issue you have with ratios, the trick is getting the right amount of each type of cracking to keep production flowing, I don't know what the right ratios of refineries and chemical plants are, but with trial and error I got them right
I have refineries and cracking in one massive brick and it runs perfectly and never backs up with a very simple circuit to run some pumps, the only thing that would cause me an issue is if I can't keep up with throughput, but then I'd just put down another brick

>>715644069 (OP)
>I just figured out gleba
I HATE SPOILAGE AND I HATE YOU OP

>>715644069 (OP)
It's a slow game to get through for me at least, I keep getting distracted by meaningless shit instead of progressing, just last night I killed two demolishers intending to mine the tungsten they were defending, and then instead spent five hours doing shit on nauvis like designing a new yellow science build, working out how to 12 beacon science, and doubling my red circuit production
