I have 3 glassbottles in my fridge, that I use for filling up my water bottle I carry around. I have a pixel 8 pro with a thermometer. And I use it to check which bottle have the coldest water if Iam I doubt.

From FFF-375 kovarex says:

With this straightforward approach, if you want to produce items of legendary quality, and you already have enough legendary quality 3 modules (which is not an easy thing to get in the first place), the legendary items are 56 times more expensive than normal items

So yeah, quality is quite expensive, and it’s definitely a trap trying to go for epic/legendary for many items.

Honestly, the most important thing to actually make legendary is quality/prod modules. So you can make space ships that harvest astroids, and reprocessing them into legendary astroid.

And that way you have pretty much trivialized getting legendary ores!

Are you using the radar to check which station needs resources?

Ah nice, I have yet to try out the new radar signal stuff. But am equally exited to test all my theories in the weekend!

I don’t have 24 free hours, but damn if iam going to try to spend them all on Factorio anyway!

Trains is also one of my favorite aspects of the game!

I also made the parametrized train stations first and the variable to for stack sizes is so nice!

I also tried making a schedule with only interrupts for all trains. But that don’t really works because the trains always just goes to the closest outpost. But I have been thinking if I connect every train stop to a radar. I can also check demand for a specific resource before I enable the stop

And for my mall, I thought about making a single fluid train stop for all fluids. Because pumps can have a filter now, so maybe it can work, haven’t tried it tho

I have way less time to play than I would have liked haha

But currently still on navius, mostly just setting up train stations and testing the new interrupt systems and making new train blue prints

Iam using mint, because it seemed like a good “beginner” distro

I jumped ship a month ago. Never really used Linux outside of some small school projects.

And my god have I had lots of issues with stuff that didn’t work or it was missing some packages that I had no idea how to get.

I have a colleague that have used Linux for +10-20 years. So having somebody to ask for help is very valuable!

But all the games I normally play is working so I don’t regret jumping ship.

Not that iam even close to the ending. But some day we of course should be able to talk about it. But what is the embargo time? A month? 6 months? 12 months?

Okay you’re just trolling.

There is no alternative that can do the same

I haven’t played RCT so not sure how I compares.

But Factorio is first of, a sandbox game. You can build however you want in your own tempo. Not sure what you mean by finicky?

But I don’t think it’s tedious micromanagement at all. it feels super good when you build something new and it works. And there is so many technologies and it’s jus fun exploring how everything works together and coming up with new designs!

There is also enemies, but can be turned off if you just want to focus on building a Factory. I mostly play with them, building up defences and killboxes and making automated train supply that comes with ammo, wall, etc.

It has a demo you can try out. It’s scenarios so you try out different base mechanics in the game. But the actual game is a sandbox game.

Got 2 friends that plays But they both have pretty busy lifes, so not sure how often we’re playing together. But we are starting a server at launch!

Hmm I guess you’re right, I was just amazed at how nice the satisfactory one was compared to Factorio.

To be honest I would rather have fun gameplay over “realism”. And it wasn’t even that realistic to begin with. Especially with the pipes placed first had some kind of priority over the others

Not sure what you considers late midgame. But a spidertron filled with rockets is crazy strong.

They are also making the inventory bigger for both the player and spidertron! So there is room for more lasers etc.

But they might also have new plasma weapons that does more damage. That we don’t know about yet?

But I feel like they would maybe mention it, at the same time they’re mentioning the nerf. So maybe it’s just me hoping for even more cool stuff !

First I thought the nerf to lasers was too much, but when combining it with quality, I guess it turns out ok.

But for pure vanilla, I guess feels bad? Not sure what I should think

Maybe not next fff, but he is definitely hinting that there are enemies there aswell.

I hope I could be some lava monsters that come up from where you’re harvesting lava from
