Thread 718171901

i am building a great, great wall

Do the biters just not go for the gap in the wall where the train goes?

>combining laser and regular turrets
daring
>using wood poles instead of medium poles
what the fuck are you doing

>>718171901 (OP)
Get some flammenwerfers in there, they werf flammen.

>>718172130
theres an automatic door
>>718172137
if the poles break the gun turrets still work. if the treadmill breaks the laser turrets still work.

>>718172137
>medium poles
you didn’t beat it

Trying to get sushi working for my spess platform.
I have a system to display numbers of items for ease of monitoring and a way to limit grabbers so they don't overdo the amounts.
But all the sushi methods i've seen use splitters, you can't read the contents of the belts with splitters

>planning for your wall to fail
get some arty bro

Is this true?

>>718172478
No actually a worm can out range your gun turrets, you need some artillery or tesla canons, a remote controlled artillery can for the most part do the job. When I happened to me I built it on the fly to kill that spawn, the damage it did sucked but at least I had a response.

>>718173808
Damn I forgot artillery even existed. Another thing to add to the list I guess.

>>718173486
How many space platforms do people usually set up?

>>718173739
no
Factorio is fun and lets you shoot at biters with railway cannons

total biter death

>>718176176
How does one escalate the biter population high enough to require this

>>718176323
The only way would be to breed them yourself and upscale.

>>718176323
I don't I just did it for fun. I could still quality them.

Is 2.1 going to actually be big?

>>718175179
One for each planet and one traveling is usually good.

>>718172130
Biters try to make a direct path towards what they want to attack, but don't go explicitly out of their way to only take that path. They'll generally decide going through a wall is faster than navigating around it.
That's also ignoring the fact you can put a retractable gate on the railways.

>>718172130
They have very basic pathfinding, and will both be aggro'd by the turrets and not bother to seek out gaps. Also wall gates.

>>718176323
Just leave them alone outside the wall for a while, provided expansion is not off. They'd populate every possible space they can, and then you cam just crank up the pollution to lure their attacks.
Or deathworld maybe.

>>718173486
Read the entire content of the belt with a decider combinator, set it up to read Each and output a single signal of Each when X > N° and have the Inserters and enable when X is recieved, if you want to use a splitter just read the bit before merging but you should desing your spaceships to use just one side of the belt for diefferent stuff.

Asteroids go to the right processed materials go to the left and so on

>>718173739
No. You don't have arbitrary 2D constrictions while programming.

>>718181264
Jesus, i felt like i had a stroke reading that and i wrote it.
The idea is there anyway the only problem you can have is when a belt is completly out of a material no inserter will load it but this is only a problem on new ships once you get around 20 of each on the belts

How do I make my spaceship designs not shit? I'm trying to redesign all my ships before setting off to Aquilo, not sure if there's some fancy circuit stuff I'm missing or if I just need to brute force it with a huge ass barge instead of saving on space.

>>718181030
I don't know dude, biters will walk 20 miles just to randomly pop up in the middle of my factory

I'm disappointed that they didn't add a small room inside the space platform hub that you could decorate for example.

>>718184880
What lol

>>718185961
Where does it get fuel?

>>718185431
I'd want each space platform to have like a 10x10 tile cockpit where you could either put some decorations or have some parts to modify the space platform.

What the fuck are you talking about?!

>>718188949
You wouldn't get it..

>>718188949
Space platforms? You know? The feature in modern Factorio? Anon wants to be able to have a small walkable space in them.

>>718189458
What's he gunna decorate with? This is a man's game.

Now that the dust has settled, can we all agree Factorio's message is that Solar Power/ "green energy" is retarded?

>>718192429
play space age

>>718171901 (OP)
What's so great about it?

>>718194070
I'm making the biters pay for it.

>>718176176
just get enough artillery to eradicate them

>>718192478
>solar panels are useful...... in space
Yeah. I think the moral of the story was reinforced by this actually.

>>718194897
How so?
>nuclear is based
>if you use coal you'll open up a portal to hell and destroy hundreds of miles of land

how do I get started with upcycling?
