    Some of the item progression makes no sense or are just holdovers from old days, for instance, grenades exist only for military science and are literally worthless even in the early game against the weakest enemies. Also see: Barrels which predate pipes but are still kept in and only used in meme builds.

      What an absolute shit take, grenades are godlike at taking out packs and are mandatory on very high difficulty settings to survive.

        In the early game red ammo is better than grenades, and once you get a flamethrower and later explosive missiles, you never look back.

        I did the same + flamethrower on my first run because i didn't want any trees near my railway for some fricking reason. Learned the hard way that it's best to leave them alone if you aren't in dire need for wood.

      There are still a bunch of QoL improvements that mods provide. If Factorio was perfect this wouldn't be a thing.

      Grenades are useful though. They're amazing for quick and cheap deforestation. I also use them as an explosive option on Biter nests before a Tank is available.

      Grenades are good early, you can for example use them in your car so you're shooting and throwing grenades at the same time, more damage for free. You can also clear forest as mentioned.

    Advanced Oil is a pain in the ass, and the moment you overproduce anything using it your entire endgame component production just stops. I also can't get my head around automating nuclear material, since the centrifuges produce two kinds to clog up your belts with.

    Not flaws, just things I'm trying to learn. I figured this is a Factorio thread anyway.

      Some filter/priority splitters and buffer chests will solve it.

      For oil processing, you can use tanks and circuit controlled pumps to store heavy/light oil and crack them if the tank fills up. Over time you mostly use petroleum anyway.

    • 10 months ago
      Anonymous

      It's time for you to learn about CIRCUITS!
      You need to set up chemical plants that turn heavy oil into light and light oil into petroleum, then set up circuits that turn these chemical plants on whenever the heavy and light oil tanks get too close to full.

    • 10 months ago

      Learn how to use red/green wires and circuit conditions, will change your game. You don't even need to use circuits for nuclear processing, just clever belting and layouts will suffice once you get Kovarex Processing, but circuits will absolutely allow you to do things like keep your Advanced Oil processing all balanced out so that you never stop due to something backing up.

      I agree with you, but frick me that would be annoying in the early game. You're always given a tiny patch of water at the start to set up your first steam power plant and it would probably dry up too fast for most players.

        You wouldn't use much, just enough to have to manage it later like mining drills and oil rigs. They would probably have to reduce the size of lakes down a lot though, which would make the map less interesting unfortunately.

      It's just a compact space with everything you need and a visual indicator of what resources you lack.

      I used a main bus on this world and it does let you make some clean (if boring) builds, would recommend for a new player especially. Picrel some of the later science modules coming up from the main bus, easy to look at and work with.
      The only thing that ruins the game is using other people's blueprints so don't do that, otherwise build however you want.

        they were all prety good for what it was supposed to be, gradual build up.
        The abandoned base was pure sovl because
        you find it destroyed and wonder huh, wonder what happened, then get lasers shooting and suddenly your entire base grinds to a halt and the realization of what transpired dawns on you
        that was sooooo goooood
        more like that, and more gradual progression of the build up.
        Again I played the original campaign and was pleased, only wished it continued with its gradual missions.

      oh dude that would be sick. improvised machinery to handle elements. I love making power plants in ONI and doing climate logistics.

      My one thing about factorio is I just wish the enemies were 1) more managable and spawn blockable at a huge cost. Maybe a Radar-like building that sends craftable drones to spray a airborne depressant over selected blocks. 2) Varient. 3) Difficult because the combat was dynamic and had a skill cap that wasn't clumsy. 4) More like an RTS, slow moving fliers; protecting a tank assaulting, with alerts on the map when a radar spots a tank. 5) I would love hills to be in the game and work like AoE.

    I never got into nuclear setups with steam storage, I get that it's more efficient but it feels like a hack or cheat to be able to just indefinitely store and transport steam without having to actually keep it warm. I just keep my reactors fed 24/7 and use the steam directly. Not like you're ever actually hurting for uranium either, idk if I've ever had to tap more than a single patch.

    The idea that a game doesn't have any flaws? That speaks volumes to your intellect tbh. And lack of criticism. Takes some kind of a fanatic to not see that literally every single thing on this earth, including all of its people, have no shortage of flaws. I have several games that I consider to be the best of their kind ever made and have thousands of hours poured into them, and I could list a novels worth of flaws for each one. By flaws, I literally mean things that if removed or done better, would have made the game even better than the masterpiece it already was.

      The reason they removed alien research was because it had nothing to do with automation nor could its creation be automated. Each science pack is basically a milestone for the player to reach that displays their knowledge of production. But alien science packs had nothing to do with that. You just loaded up on ammo and killed biter bases.
      Maybe they'll return in some form in the expansion pack, who knows.

      Maybe. Honestly, it is probably the best automation game. But him raising the price twice now is scummy as frick. It was acceptable (barely) when it came out of early access. But, with this, he has forever justified pirating his game. I may just pirate the xpac when it finally comes out over this.

      This is one of the few games I double-dipped on (had it on PC forever and just got it on Switch a little while ago for the portability.) The "inflation" price jack is a bit scummy but the game is still only half the price of most other games and easily able to sink 100 hrs into it, so for a cost/time value it's absolutely worth it. Or just pirate it. Either way it's worth playing.

        What are you talking about, most indie games are between £10-£20. This game is £30. That's very high for an indie game. There are triple A games from that same year that's cheaper than that AND most triple A games go on sale
