Autists think
Thats the point you ascend from micromanagment to macromanagment
It's the equivalent of getting promoted from code monkey to project manager, you scale up and you're required more manpower to make greater products.
And hear me out: it's optional
>from code monkey to project manager,
In places I worked at PMs earned less than devs and had no actual power over them
not when PM is a code monkey himself
That's the dev lead/boss guy. The PMs are the ones who beg him to accept tasks because the client wants them done yesterday.
maybe the company you work at is just retarded?
probably explains why you created nothing of worth.
I just don't use roboports and have lots of fun.
Spaghetti is life.

>exhaust all ore in the starting area

>not setting the ore to high density so you have more time to set trains up
this is why I personally prefer Satisfactory's way of handling resources than Factorio, even if Factorio ends up being the all around better game. Resources being infinite with limited extraction speed means you don't need to fuck around building monotously long rail systems to keep production up, just expand when you want to expand without the risk of halting the entire factory to a halt because one of your mines exhausted itself
>you don't need to fuck around building monotously long rail system
On the other hand if your goal is to build trains and long distance mining ops then unlimited resources prevents that, to a degree. Collecting and distributing resources with trains is still the simplest way to expand in Satisfactory too. Factorio and DSP and such with no real aesthetics-only building pieces don't need to give you the time provided by unlimited resources to muck around with construction, and vice versa.
i like playing more like a survival game with low resources
Just play SE and go for Core Mining if it bothers you that much.
>play satisfactory
>get to trains
>realize that the factory management sucks complete ass and it would be a massive convoluted mess to set up a factory of any size and total pain in the dick to do even basic things with trains
>drop it there
Factorio isnt just a little better, it's a lot better. You are missing so many tools in satisfactory for actual factory building it's insane, very confused game. I liled the hybrid fps/adventure/factory aspect but the end-game shit is way too complicated for the tools you are given. You end up with a totally unavoidable clusterfuck of belts feeding an insane number of low-speed machines that all sap your FPS to shit because there's no fucking modules other than the shitty overclocks from the slugs.
Also satisfactory has a literal chud developer so I regret my purchase of it.
>forced to use trains
>game becomes fun
I love my trains
There's only 1 goat choo choo game
JESUS AHAHHAHAHAHA
As a train autismo, I loved this lmao
>forced to expand before you can use trains
>have to run back and forth spinning plates with your defenses on the other side of the map
really makes me wish I was playing coop and then I stop
skill issue
The whole point of the game is to play it less
It's just you reduce tedium of building to increase the time that you are designing new shit
Alternatively you can play without logistics system
Gotta say that was fun
It's not to play it less. You play it the same while your base grows faster and faster while you spend more time designing and less time doing busywork.
>turn cheats on
>game becomes boring
Autists think this is fun
Play space exploration
I've only ever played the base game with some friends years ago, this mod looks insane though. FML WHY DID YOU SHOW ME THIS?!
It takes like 400 hours to actually beat so I would just wait for the space themed official expansion.
I'm starting a new job next week so I will definitely not be touching it right now but good to know about for when I get bored.
I’m playing through krastorio+SE mods right now. It takes ages but it’s a good pain. Except for how they gate automation way too long. Fuck you krastorio.
Shill me some good mods
space ex
That's it? I'd love some fun mod where you build bases far away from each other so you can't really cover them both with one single wall, you have to ultilize trains to the maximum and the aliens should also attack you in a more fun way.
In Space Exploration you build them on different planets entirely.
just use train world settings?
That doesn't put ressources truly far away to build long railways with detached bases and it also disables ayy expansion entirely
Yes but the railways arent really needed for large distances. You just build a mine, a rail to the center and go to next planet. You don't truly fully develop entire planet
then modify the train world settings to make resources even more sparse and enable all the ayy settings you want, you know you can customize the map generation settings as much as you want?
if you're talking about not having centralized manufacturing then that's just a matter of choice, go dedicate each patch for a specific part
What about smarter bugs though? Once you clean them out they can't really come back and any basic bitch wall with machine gun and flamethrower will kill infinite amount of them
I find it incredible how little factorio players know about their own modding world, talk about "'sprawling modding scene". Many of them even hate the idea of modding but whenever you ask it's kratobob's yer angel: nulius exploration of seablock Py.
The mod this anon wants is RSO for megarailworlds, customize the the settings and he could have 10min trips between his mines and his bases. There's also a mod that restricts construction to small patches of special terrain dotted around the map to force decentralization.
I shill:
combat robot overhaul - well made, needs update and therefore attention
water as a resource extended - cheating with infinite water are you?
rivens realistic train acceleration - lumbering piece of coal powered shit damn it's heavy
tinted ghosts - stop squinting at invisible inserters
spidertron enhancement and patrols - not that they needs any shilling
polution visuals - set it to one or two layers or it gets too thick
pcnm bgm - my favorite mod
bz resources - pick the ones you like
shortcuts, vehicle physics, shield FX updated, cursor enhancements, queue to front, pole ranger, picker dollies, oil based paints, wagon color mask, no power icons, logic science costs, laserlines, landmine gridlock, inventory repair, GUI unifyer, finite oil, custom turret radius color, clockwork, blueprint requester, better artillery sounds, alert toggle
And of course, you're a cheater Harry.
The real pros create a computer with circuit logic to automate the copy pasting.
what game?
Factorio
>research robotports
>time to autistically redesign everything and make templates that will help further expansion
learn to play the game, fuckwad
true autists don't use drones
Drones are only really good for automating landmine renewal.
True autists don't use belts either. They transport items solely with trains or wagons (without trains)
There's your million dollar idea.
Imagine... Factorio but with anime girl
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Nepgear
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/GirlCharacter
there needs to be a mod that replaces biters with e-bois who want to rape you
Anime girl Biter replacements and maybe anime highschools for their spawners would be fun. Having to fend off an army of pink haired girls calling you a jerk would be funny.
I have million dollar idea for an isekai.
Isekai factorio.
You crash on a planet with natives living in middle ages and your goal is to build a rocket.
They will keep sending heroes and adventurer parties and you will have to fight them off with machinery or try to advance tech faster than they can notice you
my idea was factorio but medieval with like alchemy recipes
there's a miku roboport mod and I think one other miku mod
>Whaaaaat?? My automation game has automation???!!! This is not what I thought I was getting!!
Why must you be retarded anon?
bots make the game even more complicated and my factories quickly spaghettify
>Not being spaghetti from the beginning
Soulless
>botfag chilling in his reclining chair
>trainfag with ultra efficient modular designs
>spaghettifag reveling in the sheer chaos he has created
Which are you Ganker?
last
spaghetti network of trains with fucked up junctions and weird two way tracks connecting spaghetti assembly lines, with everything working every other thursday as long as no trains deadlock
AngelBob's made me remember just how fun it is to make clueless spaghetti as you go. After vanilla it's pure chaos even when you get the early bots.
Spaghettifag with a massive train system that cuts through everything. Now with boats and transport trucks on top.
Spaghetti hell.
Main bus is just boring "I just followed a Youtube guide aren't I clever?" garbage
Train systems are confusing to me unless it's just one or two occasionally inter-sectioning rails
Bots require planning and blueprints and I'm not on that level yet.
So it's all about poorly planned out, winding shitshows of belts and assemblers with the occasional train station "cleverly" placed to supply my middle finger to good design.
Mixture of botfag and trainfag. Call me chestfag or something.
I build gazillion bots so I don't touch belts ever and I bring ressources from over the world with my trains to the bot farm.
When you have 100k bots they are faster than belts anyway
All of my trains are enclosed loops
Never saw the need for one connected rail system
You never went big enough, or you like to make parallel lines for shit that could easily run on the same network
Big enough to hit all the card production achievements on default worldgen, big enough for me
really gigantic factories need them
I LOVE FACTORIO

I've been doing this for about 2 weeks in spengies trying to build a small form attack ship with a jump drive to do some npc quests.
if your definition of "content" is getting carpal tunnel you're just a retard. maybe league of legends is more your speed?
I don't have autism, I have an engineering degree though and Factorio always felt like working a job rather than a fun game
I completed the game twice
1st normal
2nd without solar energy, logistics system and lasers
And I hated using trains
Thus I officially proclaim that I'm not an autistic
>And I hated using trains
You didn't beat the game

I really hope the expansion comes out with a late game form of mining. Plopping down 80 miners over and over is tedious. I get that mining productivity reduces how often you need to expand but still. Maybe replace that whole concept with an actual building upgrade, like Dyson Sphere Program where you just plop down a big laser miner over nearly a whole patch. Expanding in general is tedious. Laying rails, power lines, and setting up military shit like walls and turrets takes too damn long.
im too stupid to enjoy this game. the point is to automate stuff, but i can never shape things in my head to actually make it work. my default is just to do things manually. when i played the game i mostly just used tons of burner mining drills and boxes and moved ores around. makes me sad im too much of a brainlet to automate but it felt like more work trying to
I'm also too stupid, but I like to watch Factorio videos and vicariously see a smart base appear from nothing.
Just start it slow and build linear design
All drills unload on same belt, it carries it to row of forges, they put it on another row, then you can make multiple of those rows with iron and copper very very long and when you want something to craft you put a splitter and divert it by 90 degrees
Also a brainlet here, I find you can just brute force things and they JUST WORK.
I loaded up my winning base from last year and it's a confusing mess that somehow builds and launches rockets occasionally so I count it as a success.
I make spaghetti hellscapes. What use would I have for roboports?
Cover your spaghetti hellscape with chaotic clouds of drones distributing random things from one end of the factory to another.
>try get back into my old save
